  1. If Dragon Ball could start consistently churning out films I could see it going higher but it’s hard to compete with the top 3 since those seem to get new installments every year. Good to see that Naruto jumped on though. Hopefully it can stay in the top 10

  2. Wasn’t expecting Yo-kai Watch. Everything else except Evangelion (whose movies are more spread out, and more of A Big Deal) has double-digit numbers of movies, but Yo-kai only has four…but a higher average than Dragon Ball or One Piece.
