I never watched any other anime, but I've seen every episode of DB, even Super.

He created something that transcended the genre and became a part of mainstream culture. I'd say that he's responsible for a lot of people becoming anime fans, as DB was the first thing they watched.

It may not have been the first anime I ever watched (I used to stay up real late night and then early into the morning to watch sci-fi channel. Every now and then they'd be airing anime like vampire hunter D, dominion tank police, record of lodoss war, and bubblegum crisis. Good stuff) but it damn sure was the main one that got me and practically every single person I knew hooked.

Everyday without fail, I'd get home from highschool and eventually set up on the living room TV. My older brother would get home shortly after, and then my dad would be getting off work and also arriving home. All 3 of us would just be supped catching those dragon ball z episodes, and the pop off when goku first went super saiyan was real lol. It was an experience for a lot of us in north america/the united states since we never truly had something on TV like saint seiya was for south america that got us to pop off about anime way earlier. Yeah we had the syndicated sailor moon airing here and there, but toonami and dragon ball z was on another level.
