nah, dbz singly handindly molded and became the prime archetype for the shonen anime subgenre, toriyama changed the game and yeah, it was the first of its kind so of course later series are gonna build of its foundation but dbz is the cornerstone to it all
Dissing DBZ is like being into Rap/hip-hop and dissing Tupac & Biggie, further more dbz has influenced most anime/manga series like Bleach, Naruto, One piece etc.
Dragon ball is responsible for a lot of the things in anime that people complain about in today's anime, like the idiot hero who always wins insurmountable odds or characters who are introduced with interesting powers potential and just fall to the wayside in favor of new "chosen" characters. . As good as dbz were/are. Rurouni Kenshin and YYH were better written shounen. You know what I mean?
