Filtered by:. Previous 1 2 template Next. July 19, , AM. Let's say Akira Toriyama came to the US and attended an anime convention for the first time ever. So what would you do? If the con he was attending was not in your state, would you fly to another state or for those of you in another country, fly to another country to attend the con, even if it meant going by yourself, just to meet him?

And when you got there, at what lengths would you go, to actually get an autograph? Let's say the con staff held a raffle to get an autograph from this historic icon. You pulled your raffle and discovered that, as unfortunate as it is, you did NOT pull a winning number. Would you pay him for it? Something you know you'll never have the chance to get ever again! Would you do it or just pass?

OK, let's say you were at the con and had planned on taking at least a few snap shots of your idol. The camera you own takes the most beautiful, vivid pictures you've ever seen in your life. It is especially good photographing people. Unfortunately, your expensive camera drops and breaks. You COULD buy the camera but it would put an enormous burden on your financial situation and cause you to sacrifice paying for things that urgently need paying for. Would you go to CC and buy the camera?

How irrational would you go about the whole thing? Tags: None. Leader Desslock. If I was in an elevator on the ground floor, and he got in, and he hit the button to go to the 17th floor, I wouldn't hit all of the buttons in between G and 17 in order to prolong the elevator ride. I don't know if that answers your question or not, but I found it to be a funny image.

He was the sort of person who stood on mountaintops during thunderstorms in wet copper armour shouting "All the Gods are bastards. Post by Duo » Fri Jul 20, am. Post by OutRun2 » Fri Jul 20, am.

Two years later, in , Kunihiro Suzuki called Toriyama to help him in his task of creation for a model of female auxiliary of the Wehrmach named LISA. Toriyama realized the design of the box and the assembly instructions.

It was the first model in the market that was designed by "amateur". The model LISA came in a very limited edition, and was very successful.

In September , the duo reformed with this time a futuristic hovercraft they named Scout Mobile Tongpoo. Just as Lisa, Scout Mobile Tongpoo was a success. Kunihiro Suzuki finally ended up creating his own company in , named Fine Molds and based in Nagoya, close to Toriyama's Bird Studio.

Akira Toriyama made a new one-shot, titled Kintoki , released in November , making this manga his first solo project with an original story since Sand Land in However, due to a combination of slacking off and being busy with other work along with giving the editors baseless reassurance that things were coming along , it was ultimately decided that the issue would be a collection of Dragon Ball content from other authors instead.

Toriyama celebrates this decision as something he can really get behind. It got to the point where I could not get any work done, so my wife finally took it away. Now I can not get any work done! The game looks really fun! I feel both happy and scared I think it is best to not get too attached to the characters that I draw, but even I think it is kinda sad to see the death of a protagonist who I have continued to draw for almost 10 years.

I thought of other ways too, but ultimately thought that having him die was best after all. For the time being, I have taken care to not get too dark, but still, I'm sorry Son Goku-kun, please forgive me.

I am very grateful for how you all supported me up until the very end. The truth is that I decided on this a long time ago but a lot happened, so please forgive me for announcing this so suddenly. For this new step in my life, I have asked a big favor of everyone concerned and I am ending this manga.

Of course, I humbly apologize to all you fans too. I am very sorry. From now on, I think I will take a little break, and then leisurely draw one-shot works. You will definitely see me again. I think it should certainly be interesting, so look forward to it! Well, until that day, this is goodbye. Let's meet again. I initially thought that I'd end it after they finished collecting the Dragon Balls. At the time, Torishima-san told me "your protagonist is rather plain. That is why it is not popular".

Personally, since I was doing a fighting story for this series, I had intentionally made the protagonist's clothing excessively plain. So this annoyed me, but then I figured it out. When I had designed Goku's character, the words that best represented him were "I want to become strong". So I thought I'd bring that to the front. Even during Dr. Slump, mini-events and tournament-like things such as the Penguin Village Gran Prix had been amazingly popular.

So I'd simply make the story into a tournament format.
