The anime world has thousands of different shows and movies for fans to enjoy. Among them is one of the rightful kings of anime, Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball originally made its anime debut way back in 1986. Since then, the franchise has climbed in ranks towards becoming one of the most famous anime of all time, so much so that Goku has become a household name around the world!
Dragon Ball has inspired many kinds of anime, and since its release, many new anime shows have been distributed throughout the world. There are plenty of different anime series that Dragon Ball fans would definitely want to check out!
10 One Piece
The entire anime community might have heard about the "big three" concept in which they would place three anime at the top of a list that stands above the rest. Generally, these lists seem to always include One Piece and Dragon Ball, especially when discussing shonen anime.
One Piece is the story of a young boy living in a pirate-themed, with a wish to become the king of all pirates. This boy, Luffy, will go through an amazing journey and fight some incredible battles that mirror Dragon Ball fights.
9 Jujutsu Kaisen
Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the newer anime that is on this list and easily one of the best. Its story takes place within a seemingly normal world, but it is soon revealed to the audience that curses and the supernatural actually exist.
These, naturally, are in the form of monsters, and there are sorcerers who fight back against these curses. This story follows a cursed boy as he fights alongside his friends in some of the craziest battles to ever hit anime. It's also surprisingly light-hearted and makes for a joyful watch.
8 My Hero Academia
My Hero Academia rose in immense popularity after its manga debut and has exceeded the anime ranks since it hit television screens. My Hero Academia is one of the most Dragon Ball Z-esque anime series out there.
Some may even say that My Hero Academia has a much more captivating story that is also accompanied by incredible battles. My Hero Academia takes place in a world where the majority of society has superpowers, and as such, there are many villains that plague the earth.
7 Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba
Demon Slayer is another newer anime on this list. This masterpiece has some incredible animation — in fact, the animation in this show is clearly the best at the moment. Dragon Ball fans will easily fall in love with Demon Slayer due to its vivid battles, lovable characters, and memorable heartbreak.
Demon Slayer will have fans on the edge of their seats as the main characters fight against evil, but he never loses himself to aggression while fighting the demons. With just over two seasons out, Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba has already become one of the best anime of all time, and it is available on Hulu!
6 Assassination Classroom
Assassination Classroom is one of the shortest anime shows of all time (And the shortest one on this list). That doesn't stop it from being an incredible storyline with amazing characters, though. Assassination Classroom revolves around a school teacher who has a unique body.
This school teacher is the strongest being on earth, and in order to take him out, the government meets his demands and lets him teach a class. Over the course of the show, students are tasked with attempting to take out their sensei!
5 Attack On Titan
Of course, one of the more obvious answers to suggesting anime for Dragon Ball fans is Attack on Titan. Attack on Titan has become one of the most-watched anime series of all time and one of the top shows in the United States. It features multiple protagonists as they fight in a Titan-thriving world.
Starting out, the characters are within a city that is surrounded by incredibly tall walls to keep the Titans outside. These Titans seek out humans to eat. Though the idea seems simple, the story is further from that and truly is an emotional rollercoaster.
4 One-Punch Man
Over the course of several years, almost anyone on the internet would have heard the following argument: "Would Saitama beat Goku in a fight?" Saitama is the main protagonist in One-Punch Man, who, staying true to his name, defeats his enemies in a single blow.
The show generally follows Saitama after he has become so powerful to where he beats villains with a single punch, and essentially, the show is about Saitama hoping that one day he would fight against someone who would give him an exciting fight.
3 Naruto Shippuden
As stated above, "the big three" concept discusses the top three anime series, and when talking about shonen anime, Naruto usually finds itself on that list! Naruto is an older anime that focuses on Naruto Uzumaki, who was an orphan seeking to become powerful and respected within his village.
A few years later, Naruto Shippuden came out to feature a more grown-up version of the knucklehead ninja. This show is more discussed and has some of the most Dragon Ball Z-reminiscent moments, — making it a definite watch for Dragon Ball fans.
2 Mob Psycho 100
How many anime series are out there that encircle a teenage boy in his school years as he suddenly obtains awesome power? Well, Mob Psycho 100 isn't shy of that niche, as its plot centers around a boy who is just trying to get through middle school.
This boy is Shigeo, or Mob, and he has incredible psychic power. He is even regarded as one of the strongest anime characters of all time, although he can't really control his power just yet. This anime has some great animation and epic fighting scenes!
1 Berserk
In a cool October 1997, Berserk — the manga written by the legendary Kentaro Miura — debuted its anime adaptation to the world. This anime would become one of the most popular, even having multiple references throughout various FromSoftware games like Dark Souls 3.
Berserk follows the story of a young man by the name of Guts as he finds mercenary work in a medieval fantasy world. Over time, this story takes a sharp turn as Berserk finds himself battling vicious evil.
