What is the best anime in history? It is from the outset one of the most controversial questions we can ask. Thousands of fans who follow the stories that come to us from Japan have conflicting opinions, which spark the most intense debates we have ever seen.
Dragon Ball gains in popularity. But there are those who, with solid arguments, point out that there are better plots, illustrations and stories in general.
Therefore, we have decided to try asking the artificial intelligence, to see what it has to tell us, according to the machine learning that was implemented. We tested with Bard and ChatGPT version 3.5 so that the options were not reduced to just one.
Bard’s Opinion
The answer to this question depends on the definition of “best.” If “best” is defined as the most popular anime, then Dragon Ball is undoubtedly the best. It is one of the best-selling and most-watched anime series of all time. It has been adapted into several languages and has been broadcast around the world.
However, if “best” is defined as the anime with the best story, the most interesting characters, or the most impressive animation, then the answer is more subjective. There are many other animes that could be considered better than Dragon Ball in these aspects.
Some examples of anime that could be considered better than Dragon Ball include:
- Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995-1996): A dark, psychological science fiction series that explores themes such as identity, depression, and war.
- Cowboy Bebop (1998-1999): A science fiction action series set in a cyberpunk future.
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009-2010) – A dark fantasy series that follows the story of two brothers seeking to recover their lost bodies.
- Your Name (2016): A romantic animated film that follows the story of two teenagers who swap bodies.
- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (2019-2021): An action-fantasy series that follows the story of Tanjiro Kamado, a young man who seeks to avenge the death of his family.
Of course, the best way to decide if an anime is better than Dragon Ball is to watch it for yourself. There are many streaming platforms available that offer a wide selection of anime, so you are sure to find something you like.
In my opinion, Dragon Ball is a classic anime series that is very fun and entertaining. However, I also think there are other animes that are better in terms of story, characters, or animation.
