Sure, It was the very definition of my childhood. I grew up talking about Dragonball, seeing Dragonball, talking Dragonball, giving a kamehameha wave and doing the instant transmission. But as time went by, I found anime which gave me much more ferment and rendered me immobilized.
Dragonball cannot be the best anime ever made. There is NO "best anime ever made". People's opinion, their perception, their ideals will always differ. One simply cannot declare "Best anime ever" deeming how there will always be a new era of something.
Personally, I would objectively classify Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood as the best Anime ever, but that cannot change the fact that people still condemn it. I do not find a reason to resent FMAB, but still I find people who cannot say they like it. That's how it is. Dragonball Z was our childhood, and still continues to delight us with nostalgia. We are indulged to this series but we cannot simply take a blind eye that Dragonball still has many holes. It's my personal treasure, but I find FMAB much more enjoyable and better.
Apologies, but DB series cannot be the best anime out there.
