Dragonball doesn't have the fanbase to sustain a movie. Z or it bombs.

Hmm. That does make me wonder... what was Dragon Ball's level of popularity circa 1988? Actually, this is something I've always wondered. I know that the "Z" era raised its popularity immensely, so that's what fans remember and cherish the most, but how was it doing before that? If Toriyama had ended the series after Goku won the Tenkaichi Budoukai, would the series still be considered one of the pillars of Shonen Jump, practically printing money to this day?
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

Or at least an adapted version of DragonBall that "feels" like Z and involves Saiyans somehow. Evolution got it half-right when it came to that.
