Battle of Gods compared to One Piece Film Z

[UpFromTheSkies]

I just finished watching One Piece Film Z for the first time, and IMO it surpassed Battle of Gods by leaps and bounds in both story and animation. I really hope FnF is on this level.

How much was the budget difference between both? Anyone here know the numbers?
I already know the box office. Would like to know this too.

Also are Funimation's translation of 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' accurate I've seen a few debates about that and would like some extra context into the translation debate.

That...sort of depends on what you mean by "accurate". It's accurate in that it conveys the idea of "seven pirates of prestigious status that you probably shouldn't mess with", but it's a made up name to begin with, and a literal translation of "Ouka Shichibukai" (王下七武海) would be something to the effect of "The Seven Royal Military Seas"...which doesn't really come across as intimidating as it's supposed to be.

In all seriousness, I enjoy the Dragon Ball 100 lightyears ahead of One Piece, which I quit watching year ago, but in all honesty, Battle of Gods looks pretty bad compared to the Film Z.
Outside of the 3-D stuff, it looks to me like the Plan to Eradicate the SSJ or DBH with better animation. I prefered the Return of Son Goku and Friends visually more (those drawn backgrounds mostly).

There are no concrete budgets released for either film, but I could make an educated guess that Dragon Ball Z: Kami to Kami was probably around $500,000, give or take. The average television episode costs $90,000-300,000 an episode ($300,000 seems to be more so for super-rushed episodes that are made extremely rushed). Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann had a budget of $180,000-200,000 an episode, but that money went far because of the talents of the episode directors and key animators. Bamboo Blade was made on 13,000,000 Japanese yen (currently $108,526.47 USD) an episode, which seems to be the average for Otaku-aimed series.

I wouldn't say pretty bad but yeah my thoughts exactly. I still didn't even watched OPZ, just some clips but its pretty clear.
Thats why I made the question.

Now, that's a great answer. Thanks Jaco!

How much money went into for Dragon Ball/Z an episode?

Word is episodes used to cost $50,000-70,000 USD in the 1990s and earlier. I assume this is because pay was lower back then and productions were not as rushed.

Is that jus? DB/Z or anime in general.

Those were in general. We don't know how much was spent on any one exact episode of those first three series.

Just saw One Piece Film Z. I had only watched some clips which made me think about it, but now I'm sure.
From technical view, blows Battle of Gods out the water. Its beautiful.

This is nowadays Toei at their best.
