Interesting how these comments seem to be very similar to the comments of the people who bash and dismiss dragon ball and that dragon ball fans usually hate.

Naruto was good in its first part but then it dropped in quality and became bad. Bleach was also good in the beginning but it also dropped in quality and became bad. One Piece started slow and then got better and has been consistently good, even though it has an excessive slow pacing frequently.

Either way, whether we personally like those series or not, they were the "big ones" in terms of popularity and success, so the comic's objective is on point.

Dragon Ball isn't really a different beast from those three series. They're all shonen manga.

Personally, I like Dragon Ball and Bleach and find Naruto and One Piece to have gotten quite bad. It's all subjective, it's kind of silly to see people acting any other way.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Don't get me wrong I understand the significance of the picture.. passing the torch and what not. But what I was going off of is how overall Dragon Ball may have its Shonen traits but they aren't as cry baby in your face as Naruto or One Piece… Not too sure about Bleach.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

And Dragon Ball has a hell of a lot more in common with The three previously mentioned than it does with FotNS anyway.

When Dragon Ball has a stoic badass main character, crazy over-the-top martial arts, and watered-down anime adaptation(s) with a shoe-string animation budget.... ahhhh, I see!

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

Dragonball has basically nothing in common with the weepy nakama ~supershonen~ shitshows.

Well they be shonen, but they are still different from each other. I seen people feel like that One Piece and Naruto have stronger writing for characters then DBZ did.

I wouldn't exactly describe Goku as 'stoic'.

Besides having been a major influence for them, sure.
