SynopsisBulma is a girl in search of the seven mystical Dragonballs who is told that that, when brought together, can grant any wish. Son Goku is a strange boy with a tail who lives in the woods and is the owner of one of the Dragonballs. The two cross paths and a grand adventure begins, on the way meeting a cast of characters such as a desert bandit, Yamucha; the transforming pig, Oolong; and the great martial master of Kame-Sennin, Muten Roshi. The story starts off based on the traditional Chinese folktale 'Journey to the West.' This series also includes what is known in the United States as 'Dragonball Z.' (Source: ANN) |

Cross Epoch is a cross-over oneshot between Dragon Ball and One Piece... So obviously if you liked the Dragon Ball/One Piece manga then you'll like Cross Epoch.
Cross Epoch is a cross-over one-shot between the popular series Dragonball and One Piece, this serie deals with .. almost no issues, except some random idea that gets the main characters together. This gives you the idea how the characters are similar and why both became popular.
A cross over devised by One Piece author, Eiichiro Oda, and Dragon Ball Z author, Akira Toriyama.
The cross over is one chapter long and displays the characters living in a world together.
One character from each series is teamed up with their 'counterpart' from the other.
Ie: Luffy and Goku (the strongest)
Zoro and Piccilo (the badasses)
Nami and Bulma (the 'babes')
Sanji and Roshi (the perverts)
then Vegeta is a lord with Robin, Usopp, and Trunks as his loyal crew
It's quite amusing and very fun

As shown in the cross-over between these series, almost all the main characters deal some similarities, so do the villians, the major fights and most of the dialogue's and characteristics of people in the series. The storyline and the art are the things that are the things that are different for the most part, but for the rest, they are pretty similar.
Akira Toriyama's 'Dragon Ball', and later 'Dragon Ball Z' was what sparked One Piece author, Eiichiro Oda, to go into manga writing.
He studied Akira Toriyama's art in every chapter released. Though Eiichiro Oda developed a style all his own, his muse will always be Akira Toriyama's work.
To top it off, Akira Toriyama and Eiichiro Oda are now good friends and have worked together or collaborations. Their collaborations include puzzles, art of eachothers characters, a special displayed on the Going Merry floating museum, and a one chapter comic merging the characters together.
The special: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYSdWbcLGuE
They have almost the same huge pack of originalty, adventure, emotion, epicness and an uniquie style that makes One Piece the successor of the best anime/manga title. One Piece is destined to be as famous as Dragon Ball if it ever gets a decent dub.
