[QUOTE="toaskornottoaskm, post: 2533734, member: 744316"] In the 90's Dragon ball z dominated in popularity worldwide Pokemon was the only anime that could really challenge it. In the 21st century however dbz's popularity started to gradually decrease because of the large amount of new shounen anime being created most notably Dragon ball z's greatest enemy naruto which was created in 2002 (the anime I mean). Since Naruto's creation dbz's popularity has been greatly suffering. In 2009 Toei created Dragon ball kai in an effort to revitalize dbz's popularity and at first it actually worked considering since it's creation Kai has been on the top ten in the anime tv rankings actually placing higher than Naruto every time. However Kai's popularity is short lived because Toei will be ending kai at the cell saga because eventhough Kai has high tv rankings the dvds and merchandise have not been selling well and to make things even worse Kai's soundtrack has to be replaced with the old outdated dbz soundtrack because Toei has been accused of copyright infringement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdX3Nh70m… http://daizex.fanboyreview.net/viewtopic… I hate to say it but dbz's popularity seems dead now Naruto has finally won.
