Toei Animation cannot complain about successes in this 2023. In addition to One Piece and everything that happened with Luffy in the last episodes of the anime, the Slam Dunk and Dragon Ball movies have raised a huge amount of money in the few weeks they have been at the box office internationally.
Now with the end of first quarter of fiscal year 2024which began in Japan last March, we have been able to know What has been the work that is generating the highest income for Toei? To the surprise of many, the anime that has generated the most money for the production company has been nothing more and nothing less than Dragon Ball, with almost 30 million euros in profit.
With only one movie released and no anime planned anytime soon, Dragon Ball continues to be the company’s cash cow. However, One Piece follows closely behind, with a total of 27.5 million euros raised in these last 3 months of 2023. The third position is completed by slam dunkwhich has achieved some 8 million of euros total.
As can be seen, both Dragon Ball and One Piece are the main sources of income for the production company, well ahead of Slam Dunk, which continues to generate a good amount of money, but is nowhere near the huge numbers. which both Goku and Luffy wield. We will have to see how these numbers evolve, but seeing what has happened in one piecethe series is likely to out-revenue dragonball in the coming months.
