Just how well known is Dragon Ball/Z with the general public?

[Tapion]

Dragon Ball is the second best-selling manga of all time, only behind One Piece, so it's obviously pretty-well known.

Third, actually. Golgo 13 outsold it as of at least last year.

Really? The source i'm using(MangaZenkan) places Golgo 13 at 200+ million and Dragon Ball at 240+ million

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Yeah, it seems to have been a mistake. Wikipedia had it as 280 million as of last year, though it's been changed back to 200 million as of late.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Fearless is jealous of One-Piece.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Yeah, I want to be a skinny pirate like Luffy.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

You are just jealous, because you don't understand why the series is so popular and when some people don't understand something, they start to hate. That's what you are doing. Pathetic

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Yeah man, you're right.

Back on the topic, when it comes to the anime in general it's always been DBZ, Pokemon, OP, Naruto and Bleech. Just those 5 right? Maybe with Yugioh as well.

I'd say it's more like this:

Currently

1. Dragon Ball/Z
2. Naruto
3. Pokemon
4. Yu-Gi-Oh
5. One Piece

Bleach never got popular outside of Japan or America anywhere else, really. I never heard of it until you know...

Maybe its in the same level with Inuyasha IMO.

I don't know. InuYasha is well-known in other countries too. And was very popular in Japan, so yeah...

In the west, yeah, along with Sailor Moon. In Japan, however, it's a completely different ball game.

I don't mind One Piece (I enjoy it a bit), but I think it doesn't hold a candy to Dragon Ball.

The fact that 9 times out of 10 people compliment my DB shirts and say they're bad ass, then we proceed to discuss it and most of them are also keeping up with current sub Super, tells me at least 50% of any given towns citizens at least know what it is if not big fans. And I'm talking people from 15 to 60 years old.

I love getting compliments on my shirts, especially my Freeza and Vegeta shirts.

To give you an idea of the difference, not NEARLY as many people compliment me on my Bleach Aizen shirt, or even my band shirts like my Disturbed shirt or stuff like my Heath Ledger Joker shirt, which actually got a compliment a few days ago, but that was the first comment anyone made about the Joker shirt since the Dark Knight first came out.

Heath Ledger Joker is a LEGEND in NY! Sadly no one around my way would compliment the Disturbed shirt.

That's fine. Fearless just hates for the sake of hating.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

LOL Look who's talking! But whatever...

 

[Boo Brand Milk]

I don't like anything with pirates, so
