One Piece stays strong at #1. Expectedly, other popular series like Naruto, Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Dragon Ball, Hunter x Hunter, Slam Dunk, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure also sell amazingly well. There are several titles that I have never even heard of though...

Share your thoughts on this, and share relevant news/links too.

Also I can't seem to find an English report about All time accumulated anime sales rank. Hmmm.

I suppose the flip-side is, how many non-gag seinen manga get a new adaptation every 10 years, 3 times consecutively? Hell, these days, isn't it only series with large target audiences that get 50 eps adaptations? I guess that says something.

Yeah, I'm surprised about Golgo too. It looks like they just changed it, I thought it was behind Kochikame.

And also something else that's surprising. There's a lot of sports anime near the top.

Yes DBZ has the games, I did forget that. But from what I've heard One Piece's games are pretty popular in Japan. And even then, idk how much money overseas tv ratings bring them, probably not a lot. It fucked the impact up for America, but it's still popular elsewhere and even now the Funimation dub is doing fine in America. I think manga sales and dvd sales would go to the mangaka the most. And One Piece has sold over 120 million more volumes than DBZ. Also as One Piece is the most popular in Japan at this moment, there are a lot of ads with the One Piece characters, even One Piece stores(which DBZ probably has) and One Piece monuments or attractions(which I haven't heard of about DBZ yet).

Where did you hear about that? And sold as in in disc sales or in the movie theater?

I dunno. One Piece having the best manga sales in Japan always seemed like a bad joke to me, ever since I found out about it. I wonder if it's sales would have changed if it wasn't serialized after DB. Luck, luck.

As for anime, here. I saw the same ranking in a Japanese website so this ranking seems legit, I don't know if it's updated or not. So NGE had the best sales after The golden egg (?), followed by Bakemonogatari.

What do you mean by luck? Both One Piece and Naruto were serialized after Dragon Ball ended. Both were influenced by Dragon Ball. Both were in the same magazine. Both had the same genre. Both aimed at the same demographic. Both were longer than Dragon Ball. But one had 100 millions sales more than Dragon Ball's and the other had 100 millions sales less than Dragon Ball's.

The fact that it wasn't serialised at the same time isn't lucky.The time Dragon Ball was being serialised was the Gold Age of Mangas.The Mangas that time sold more,the manga merchant droped at 45% after Gold Age ended,weekly Shounen Jump droped by almost half.In Fact if One Piece and others mangas were published that time they would have sold even more(probably).

When DB ended it left a huge gap in Shounen Jump since it was their biggest hit. So obviously fans would want something to fill that gap and capture them with it's charm like DB did. one piece was able to fill that gap.

My point is that the fact that one piece was serialized after DB is very significant and relevant to it's huge success. I think Naruto would have had one piece's success if it was serialized before it and after DB (not to forget having an anime after 2 years instead of 4 would have immensely helped). But those are just ''what if'' scenarios and theories, nothing worth going into a heated argument for and they can't really be backed up with substantial evidence.

I don't think you can call Naruto unlucky. Kishimoto was going to give up if Naruto didn't become a hit, it was his last try to get a seralized manga, so Naruto's success also has it's fair share of luck.

Well I never said the anime didn't sell more I just said that's probably unlikely and we don't really have the stats. I don't think most fans of DBZ bought it as it's a long series and most of them are kids, they just watched it on tv. And then I don't know how much money Japan and then the mangakas make off of the tv ratings.

It's surpassed it in manga sales.

I can't see anything about One Piece there. You said the last Dragonball movie sold more worldwide than the One Piece movie, I can't see that on that site.

-Zeaos said:

I don't even know exactly what you're talking about. But yes Japan does buy more anime and manga related goods than the rest of the world combined. It is their product made for themselves. Good =/= sell well

That DB sold more worldwide with it's manga? Because One Piece has sold like 50 million more copies just in Japan than DB has sold worldwide. If you're talking about anime or games, we don't have stats on that. But from what I hear One Piece's games are very popular in Japan so I wouldn't count it fully out even though they're probably less popular elsewhere. And how many ads are Dragonball characters in? And One Piece's anime has been airing longer and staying in the upper half of the ratings.

No I mean that even DB was a success , let alone DBZ . Yeah , One Piece is only popular and probably the most popular manga on Japan only , but DBZ sold more worldwide . Worldwide sales > japan sales . By the way , DBZ is classic man , I don't know anyone who hasn't watched DBZ .

And One Piece has more episodes than DB and DBZ combined, and their manga is the same thing like Naruto.

"One Piece is only popular and probably the most popular manga on Japan only , but DBZ sold more worldwide . Worldwide sales > japan sales "

What has sold more worldwide? Manga, anime, or games? Do you have any proof? (Keep in mind I've already told you One Piece's manga has sold more worldwide and this thread is about manga)

BTW saying DBZ is classic and everyone you know(which is about 0.00000000000001% of the world's population) has heard of it is not proof.

You sure are naive. Japanese sales dwarves international sales, that's an obvious fact.

Btw I haven't found reliable source about richest mangaka income, there's one here but I doubt the source. Then I got that Toriyama's net worth and Oda's annual income per 2010. Just do some simpe math here and we can estimate who is the richest.

I might be an OP fan but I speak the truth and stats :/

That DB sold more worldwide with it's manga? Because One Piece has sold like 50 million more copies just in Japan than DB has sold worldwide. If you're talking about anime or games, we don't have stats on that. But from what I hear One Piece's games are very popular in Japan so I wouldn't count it fully out even though they're probably less popular elsewhere. And how many ads are Dragonball characters in? And One Piece's anime has been airing longer and staying in the upper half of the ratings.


No I mean that even DB was a success , let alone DBZ . Yeah , One Piece is only popular and probably the most popular manga on Japan only , but DBZ sold more worldwide . Worldwide sales > japan sales . By the way , DBZ is classic man , I don't know anyone who hasn't watched DBZ .
And One Piece has more episodes than DB and DBZ combined, and their manga is the same thing like Naruto.

"One Piece is only popular and probably the most popular manga on Japan only , but DBZ sold more worldwide . Worldwide sales > japan sales "

What has sold more worldwide? Manga, anime, or games? Do you have any proof? (Keep in mind I've already told you One Piece's manga has sold more worldwide and this thread is about manga)

BTW saying DBZ is classic and everyone you know(which is about 0.00000000000001% of the world's population) has heard of it is not proof.


And what do episodes show ?

Nope , One Piece is not that great in worldwide , only in Japan .

Ok then , go and ask the whole internet if they know the name "Goku" .

Doesn't change the fact that One Piece sold more in Japan and outside Japan combined compare to DBZ, also in Japan and outside of Japan.

I'm going to take it as your trolling since you didn't answer any of my questions and will ignore you from now on in this thread(at least). Just asking me to ask people if they know who Goku is, typical blind DB supporter.

lol indeed hes does not know Goku is older than DB you could as litriture people who goku is ie people who dont care that DB is and thy will nkow they will know the name so saying people people will know goku is a stupid agument [ in the most popluls nation in the world [ as who Wukong/Goku is than they will know not form anime ]

Well I think that is mostly irrelevant as he's talking about the character in DB. Obviously he would ask about the character in the manga not just Goku in general. Since this is a thread about manga and we'd been talking about DB, I don't think he needed to specify.

But he is someone who thinks that in order to be a supporter of an anime you have to have it in your favorites.

He just means that one piece is less and popular and successful than DB outside of Japan. Which is a fact.

This argument is just built on misunderstandings..
