There's a lot of reason for them to fund them. This will bring a hell of a lot of money into the country because of DBZs worldwide appeal. If it was something less popular then nothing like this would happen, even if it had the potential to be great.
DBZ has probably already brought in mad money. i think if they do a worldwide release they might make millions more! everybody and their grandmother loves DBZ! its not asgood as Naruto, but its good and people love it!
i wonder if we will get crazy promos for the movie... that would be hot!!
Hopefully they put that 50m to good use.
Good to see the Jap Gov supporting their local artistes.
Its just a smart investment. LOL
