Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball, has passed away at age 68 on March 1st.
This man… I don’t even know where to begin to how much of an impact this man had on my childhood growing up. Not only with Dragon Ball and DBZ, but even with JRPG’s like Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, and just that Toriyama pen art style. You just see it, and you know it’s his art.
I know every damn person who’s watched Dragon Ball has tried that Kamehameha at least one time when no one was looking, because that’s how immersive of a creator he was. He really make his art come alive.
Truly one of greatest losses to anime history, if not the greatest in my generation. May god rest this man’s soul.
