the fandom is ridiculously desperate for more dbz its sad even, i bet half the fandom does not even give a damn about toriyamas works beyond dbz, or toei for that matter. its blind ignorant fandom really....


well 30 million (2.9 billion yen) is kinda on the low end for a successful screening, also toei is busy enough with their current tittles, dbz fandom died in the 90's in japan guys, get over it.


I agree,they think that DBZ is the greatest anime ever,that's how
ridiculous it is.


if they really cared they would support toriyama's other works, thats one of the ideas im trying to get through to people, im sure some do but the majority of people who know dbz arent diehard toriyama fans, it just seems unfair that they arent giving him equal support for all of his artistic endeavor.

I wonder what the budget was?


Quote:
To help fund the movie’s production and promotion, Toei Animation was granted 50 million yen as part of the non-profit organization UNIJAPAN‘s “Co-production Certification Program”. The program was developed by the Japanese government’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI), and other affiliated organizations, to support the international endeavors of Japanese filmmakers. Of the four films awarded funding support in 2012, “Battle of Gods” was the only animated film to receive such an honor due to its “enduring international popularity” and its production collaboration with the U.S. company Fox.


It roughly converts to 518,000 USD.

That's not the budget though. That's how much grant it was given to help production.


True but it's all the info we have atm.

lol no. Sequential storytelling is sequential storytelling. The details might be different but the core definitions remain the same.


No they're clearing different you're just dancing around the subject. DB only ran in the shonen jump for about 10 years while Spiderman still has comics coming every year since it's started in the 60s with many different alternate universes. It's not too hard to see why one will remain more popular when the other just comes out with movies once in a while. It's actually pretty amazing it has still remained relevant almost 20 years after it ended.

]There are many manga that are written/drawn by people other then their original creators. Yu-Gi-Oh anyone? And you're going to see it more and more as time goes on and a few core manga make up the bulk of sales.


Yugioh is an exception, it has become more of a franchise because the cards to keep it alive. I'm not saying it's impossible but most shonen jump series only have one author.

The average budget of a television episode is $100,000-300,000. I heard Battle of Gods only had a few good cuts of animation (namely Shida Naotoshi's), so I wouldn't be surprised if it came out to around $200,000 for every twenty minutes. I'm thinking at the most the budget was $1,500,000, but this is all I can figure without having seen the movie myself.

LoL Why does half of the posts on this thread even exist? DBZ fans don't support other Toriyama works? What're we basing this off of? Dr Slump has a lot of fans, people loke Toriyama's artwork in DQ and CT, hell it's the only reason anyone bought Blue Dragon, I'm sure most of his fans have peeped his short stories and Neko Majin Z series, enough that it ended up getting translated at least. How are we not supporting Toriyama by doing all this even if we're super hype for DBZ which in OUR OPINION is the greatest anime ever since it's our FAVORITE. Jeez.

I dont know what to say about this.Its so stupid but at the same time funny as hell. I mean DBZ Fans doesnt care for his other works..First I do I love Dr.Slump and Blue Dragon.Second Even if I didn't so what ? I love DBZ so what if I wouldnt like his other works.His other works might be bad (it isnt).I really dont know why people cant handle the popularity of Dragonball. And yeah its also funny how people are saying "Dragonball isnt as popular anymore" I mean ..what? This anime is finished since so many years.Its still unbelievable how popular Dragonball is.
