Besides Pokemon, is there an anime that made as much money as DBZ?

Detective Conan

>>151202120
Doraemon and Naruto? Also One Piece.

>>151202120
Sailor Moon

>>151202120
Gundam

>>151202120
Hokuto no Ken, you know, the father of all battle shounen.

>>151202120
Including games, and merchandise?

>>151204136
This.

Sailor Moon is probably up near the top if we are talking about merch and other things.

>>151202120
I've never seen any total earning numbers for entire franchises, but Gundam has to be up there.

>>151204196
If by franchine gundam is not on the top given how expensive their models are I would be shocked. Not to mention how many they just pump out of that series

Naruto soon it consistently beats DBS in popularity and Boruto series is on the way.

>>151202487
no one likes gundam. boring mech shit doesnt sell outside of figures.

>>151204325
except it doesnt. super is huge. no one even talks about naruto since it ended.

>>151204336
You're grossly underestimating just how much fucking money Gunpla makes.
There are literally THREE anime series about Gunpla building and people ate that shit up. It's massive.

>>151204336

>boring mech shit doesn't sell outside of the whole reason Anime exists in the first place.

>>151204374
On here because Narutards no longer feel the need to prove it was good. The filler which is still coming beats DBS episodes in viewers.

>>151202120
Idol anime

>>151204450
except it doesnt.

>>151204553
No don't think so

>>151202120
Astro boy, Evangelion, Sailor Moon, etc.

>>151204813
nobody has bought anything astroboy related in decades. evangelion has never sold much shit

Dragon Ball would have died long ago without video games and BoG.

>>151204336
Nah mate. True, gundam is not popular as the others named in this thread in the west, actually, its not popular at all, lets face it. But holy shit nips are literally batshit insane about gunpla, its even worse than the whole waifu/cute little girl shit over there, it just prints money endlessy.

>>151204336
>if only I wasn't mentally handicapped I could stop sucking all these dicks

>>151205038
gundam is shit. get over it. fucking boring

>>151204724
Why did The LAst get over double the total earnings of Battle of the Gods then?

>>151205188
I bet you are taking numbers out of japan rankings alone. This thread is about global series that made money everywhere. DB will forever be king in southamerika for example, Super there beats naruto/one piece and the rest by fucking far.

>>151205300
No I mean globally RoF and BotG did less than The Last put together.

>>151205300
DB is huge in America but Eastern Europeans go apeshit for Naruto.

It's true pretty much any site I can find that plays anime has Naruto getting more views than DBS.

>>151205335
>>151205361
>>151205520
Fuck you anon so the final conclusion of the Naruto series did more than Botg and Rof. DB is worth 5 billion and Naruto only 20 million. You must have pretty fucking high hopes for Boruto.

Yu-Gi-Oh! in a sense. At least the card game if not the show, but you can't really have one without the other.

does dbz even have an amusement park?

>>151205613
Honestly, they have plenty of room to fix things up with Boruto, going back to the pre-shippuden days is the best move right now. If they keep milking the old characters, that shit will die quickly.
>>151205948
No but if you want to talk about some attraction that lures people that would be the spanish DBZ VAs, people travel and pay absurd amounts just to hear them talk random shit for an hour or so in comiket-wannabe gatherings. People petitioned and begged then to work in BotG and RoF because at first they refused, they were retired after all, but the petition just became too fucking big and with a shitload of money in between so they accepted and became fucking rich again.

>>151204336
Well it sells A LOT OF FUCKING FIGURES
I should know

>>151206131
They've been releasing filler prologue arcs ever since the main story ended and they are getting more views than new DBS episodes.

>>151202120
Clearly One Piece and Pokemon did.

>>151205361
Dragonball is massive in latin america but naruto isn't

>>151205085
clearly you can't understand the Japanese equivalent of star trek with giant robots

>>151206641
The last arc was Jiraiya and young Kakashi everyones two favorite characters. Those are going to be inconsistent based on who is in them.

>>151202120
Anpanman. All these fucking toys are not cheap.

>>151206705
Naruto is also huge in the US and honestly I wouldn't doubt they are big in Latin america too.

The only one that is titanic in Japan and not many other places is One Piece. Which is a shame because One Piece has the most to offer.

I know one piece has stand alone shops in Taiwan etc. Would have to be up there with DBZ.

>>151207626
Idk but I know in Japan Oda is more or less considered a national treasure. Toriyama doesn't get that kind of respect.

>evangelion has never sold much shit

>>151204336
Nigger, gunpla is HUGE with gunota and even regular plamo modelers in Japan. Gundam doesn't even need to give a shit about selling BDs when they've got Bandai-Hobby making so much god damn money. So much money that they're running out of mecha to make into kits from Gundam. At least, the ones that aren't obscure MS variant #56 that only a dozen people know about.

>>151207894
Evangelion is for pseudo intellectual asshats. It's like the fear and loathing of anime for dickheads to act like they gained some insight by watching some horny fucked up orphans fight aliens. Yeah I know anon you jack off too much so you can relate to the protag.;

>>151202120
Yugioh. People spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on card packs, box sets, play sets, etc.

>>151207735
>Toriyama doesn't get that kind of respect.

Toriyama's manga ended long time ago.

Maybe 25 years ago he was like Oda.

>>151202120
Wasn't it Eva who's pretty much the king of making money?

>>151208027
Isn't there actually a law that says Oda has to take a week off every month in Japan?

>>151204336
THEY FUCKING MAKE GIANT MECHA FIGURINES YOU DINGUS DBZFAG

HOLY SHIT HOW FUCKING DENSE YOU ARE?

>>151208391
Like Mazinkaiser?

>>151208450
Well yes, mecha is fucking big in japan. Especially the old stuff

>>151204336
>no one likes gundam
I'll admit that I don't give a shit about mech shows, but im not so delusional as to believe that nobody likes the most popular mech series in anime.

>>151204450
>The filler which is still coming beats DBS episodes in viewers.

This is such shit bait.

>>151208507
look it up you will also see that The Last did 19 million while each DB movie did about 8 or 9.

I mean I don't know if these are stone cold fact numbers buuuut it appears Battle of the gods did twice as well as The Last.

>>151207994
Are you a normalfag by any chance?

>>151207501

One Piece does pretty well in most of Asia. It's starting to kick up in South America too. It also does very well in France. I think it's been beating Naruto for some time now.

http://www.lefigaro.fr/bd/2016/01/18/03014-20160118ARTFIG00109-les-cinq-mangas-les-plus-vendus-en-2015.php?redirect_premium

Honestly, the only place it has consistently been ranked middle of the pack has been in North America. That's mostly due to Naruto being picked up before One Piece and 4Kids putting their cancer into it.

>>151208588
The Last did 19 million while Battle of the Gods did 51 million. Refer here >>151208658

>>151208588

He's talking about the ratings of DBS vs Naruto Shitpudding. Fuck off.

>>151208658

Nardofags BTFO.

The Naruto anime has to have broken a record for most filler episodes ever. I still can't believe it's on going.

Damn there is a Narutofag in serious denial in this thread.

Dragonball is king, forever, get over it. Your shit will never outpace One Piece, which will never outpace DB as long as content still gets released. Sorry to burst your bubble, now start expanding your repertoire past shounenshit you stinking newfag.

>>151207994
Evangelion sold so much merchandise it literally changed the way the industry works. You're fucking retarded and need to go back to wherever you came from.

>hahaha fucking fans of [series I don't like], it's way less profitable than [series I like], that makes [series I like] better than [series I don't like]
> [other series I don't like] is more popular and sells more than [series I don't like]? S-sales are worthless, saying something is good because it's popular is for retards.

>>151208964
Who said Dragonball was any good? This thread is strictly about popularity.
