If you were a billionaire (DB related)
So let's say hypothetically you end up with endless amounts of money to spend and the way you want to spend it is by doing something with the Dragon Ball franchise. What would you do?
As for me personally I'de pour money into crafting the perfect DBZ video game that fans worldwide would be proud of. I'de spare no expense and hire the best American and Japanese development studios to collaborate and get each part of the game just right. It would have amazing story and online modes, character creator, deep fighting system etc as well as having a level of real time destruction and ki effects that would basically make your jaw drop. If possible I'de also include as many language tracks as possible to appeal to everyone and even a few bonus ones (So for example English players could unlock both Funi & Ocean voices for each character and as an easter egg maybe even voices from Team four star or hell, even Big Green too ) You'de be able to personally customise a character with any voice you wanted so you could end up with Piccolo (Ocean) with Goku (Japanese) vs Freeza (TFS) and Cell (Funi) as a totally random example.
Anyway you get the idea, so what would you do? It doesn't have to be game related, can be anything.

I just want a DVD release of the series plus movies in my own language.
Re: If you were a millionaire (DB related)
Not if I was a millionaire, but if I was insanely rich enough to be able to afford it, (say a 100-millionaire), I'd want to fund a truer-to-the-manga remake of the anime, DB and DBZ as a single series, with modern animation and a new orchestral score. It would have a few tweaks like better foreshadowing of things that weren't really planned ahead, and some of the filler that isn't really filler but just adds colour to the existing story (like Goku's hallucinations in his fight with Freeza, which were kept in Kai). I'd want to ask Toriyama if there's anything he'd like to tweak or insert, now that he can view the story as a whole.
If I was just a millionaire, I don't even know what I could do with that. Subsidise a continuation of the Levels sets?

Re: If you were a millionaire (DB related)
I'd hire Dimps to make a high-budget Budokai 4 with all the characters from all the previous Budokais and more GT and DB included as well as characters from BoG. The gameplay would be all the best elements from the other Budokais with lots of new additions made to keep it fresh. I'd also have Dragon Rush as an option that could be turned on or off. The story mode would feature lots of detailed cutscenes with some IW-style minigames here and there as well as free-roam between fights like a sandbox game.
Or they could make it interesting and do a new Budokai trilogy aka Budokai 4, 5 and 6. They would each have 2 years of development. Budokai 4 would follow the regular story. Budokai 5 would follow the movie timeline and change it in a way that all the movies could co-exist with each other in an alternate universe. Budokai 6 would have its own original story with its own original saga and villains to fight against. And each new instalment would obviously have to be unique so that it doesn't get made redundant by its sequel(BT trilogy I'm looking at you).

BOG sequel, bigger budget for 2D animators, Gokû's ssjg gets a visable transformation sequence. (could be a gag or serious). More Beers. Toriyama involvement.

Buy 3809821230 different Vegeta figures and make one room a Vegeta shrine... and Battle of Z.
Re: If you were a billionaire (DB related)
I'm not even kidding (or being cute) when I say I would get a team of great freelance animators to create an hour worth of DB erotica. I literally dream of this, it would throw that bs Dragon Moon Ballz XXX hentai (or whatever it was called) out of the water. Pro voice actors, entertaining story, and most importantly it will be true to the source material... er... well, as true as a story could be about DB characters boinking.
Also, I would donate a lot more to the site.

I'd get TeamFourStar to do a production of Death of a Salesman as their DBZ Abridged characters.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Re: If you were a billionaire (DB related)
Foot the budget to convince Toei/Toriyama that it's worthwhile to start doing some character-study pieces in the form of yearly TV specials, much like the Lupin III franchise has been doing for years (on the yearly special thing, not so much the character study).
Would probably also see about securing some rights or getting gears moving on a reboot of Dragon Ball in live-action, with myself as the scenario writer, while also pulling people with the proper resources in as well to make sure it all comes out right.
...I get the feeling that I'm severely overrating how far only one billion dollars would get me with either of these plans. I wouldn't know though. I is poor.

Re: If you were a billionaire (DB related)
If I had that kinda cash, I'd see about financing a DB-DC movie with either the style of Public Enemies or Crisis on Two Earths. Mainly Goku and company interacting with Superman and them teaming up to fight the evil Superboy Prime. Ending with a Spirit Bomb gathered with energy donated by Ma and Pa Kent, the Planet Staff, Gotham PD, Alfred, Batman and co., many of the other League members and big heroes, and the entire Lantern Corps putting everything they can into it to ensure if takes Superboy Prime out. Starring the Funimation cast, Tim Daly, George Newbern and various others who've voiced DC characters if they speak or not.

Re: If you were a billionaire (DB related)
First I would buy as much Dragon Ball collectors items as I feel fit and donate a bunch of money to Kanzenshuu and other sites. And then maybe produce an awesome fan dub of Dragon Ball, Z and GT.

Buy the rights to every bit of music that's DB related from the Kikuchi and Faulconer score to the image songs and DVD menu themes and release remix after remix. Oh and I would sample some tracks for hip hop beats.

Re: If you were a billionaire (DB related)
I'd buy up every Dragon Box copy still floating around that I can find, so I can sell them to anyone who just wants a proper 4:3 release of the series instead of the cropped crap, for a reasonable price of course.

Re: If you were a billionaire (DB related)
If I had a limitless money supply I'd buy Toei and Shueisha. I'd still let the people in charge run it, but I'd make sure that good international companies got the foreign language licenses to the series. I'd also pay Funi to create an improved English dub for the original series, Z, GT, movies, and other peripheral works and have them release it with the Dragon Box masters. I'd also take the broadcast audio masters of the Japanese version from fans who are willing to donate them and rerelease the Dragon Boxes/singles in Japan with that audio. I might also give Funi the audio masters, but I'd have to also think of something special for the Japanese release to prevent reverse importing. I would then have Viz release the Kanzenban and have them retranslate it. I'd also have them do the Daizenshuu. I'd also do a lot of things not related to Dragon Ball but still has to do with Toei (like tell Saban to do domestic Sentai releases), but that's another topic. If I have only a limited supply of money, though, I'd probably pay Toei for the Dragon Box masters for the whole series and get Funi to release them in addition to a Z Box reprint with the Falcouner music so everyone has their definitive version. Either that or get the Kanzenban over here with a good translation. I dunno. Being rich actually seems kinda boring to me. You hardly ever have to work for anything, and that would get dull really quick for me.

Pay Namco Bandai to spend 3-4 years making an in depth DBZ fighting game with polish and characters that stand out game play wise.
Re: If you were a billionaire (DB related)
I'd probably do a modern TV series with big production values an a focus on animators. That kind of goes without saying, though.
First and foremost I would do a big series of documentaries with the cast. Nozawa and the other veterans aren't getting any younger, after all, and I really would like to see their stories written for archival purposes.

Heck, we only had a censored DVD release of Dragon Ball (that contained several Spanish languages) and the first 9 Z Movies, nothing more than that.TheGmGoken wrote: Quebaz is in Portugal not USA don't think Portugal had that many dvds.
