I feel like in a way that the Dragon Ball fanbase is the anime equivalent of the Sonic fanbase.

Both series are very simple enough to attract children (or child-like beings) or newcomers to a genre, very powerful universes, but very toxic and devisive.

Not to mention they are constantly compared because of the fact that the protagonists are able to turn Super (Saiyan) and have their own series' MacGuffin (Dragon Ball and Chaos Emeralds).

They're like crutch series, they are easy to understand and not very complex. Once you grow outta them, you'll find a better series. But they have staying power because they're so iconic.

With all of the wall of text being said; their communites are terrible and the series themselves don't age very well.
