Now don’t get me wrong, it’s still a household name. But it got me to thinking.. Dragon Ball is still amazingly popular and has new movies, games and series coming out all the time. Even after a long span of nothing when GT finished airing. Similarly Sailor Moon also finished in 1997 and was put to rest for a long while. Keeping this in mind, why do you think something like Dragon Ball is still able to draw in new fans, and still get respectable numbers while Sailor Moon struggles to do the same?
I know there is Precure taking up a large chunk of the magical girl space now, but there are also countless Dragon Ball shounen copycats that never affected the formers popularity.
Do you think they dropped the ball (pardon the pun) with Crystal? If it was promoted correctly and with more care do you think we would be in a different situation now? Or was Sailor Moon’s success just lightning in a bottle?
