    Dragon Ball is probably the love of my life. I’ve the collected the blu rays, dvds, manga, and video games. I don’t think there’s any other anime/manga that I resonated more with me. Pokemon was my first anime but it never really stuck with me. Dragon Ball however is a whole different case. The fights, humor, themes of never giving up and overcoming obstacles is what drew in not only me but an entire generation to the franchise.

    When I was a boy I would rush home to watch this tv show. Dragon Ball in some ways helped me become the kid who beat up bullies in the school and to have a fair compassionate attitude about it too. Goku is a great role model. I now have two young sons, and always tell them to eat like Goku! We are on season 4 of DBZ and my sons love Dragon Ball! We just watched your video because my sons have been asking, “who made this?!” Thank you for making this video! It’s amazing being able to share a piece of your own childhood with the next generation.

Haven't seen GT in years but even though it isn't the best show in the franchise, it did have some cool stuff (SSJ4, Super 17, Gogeta). And don't even get me started on the games! Budokai 1 changed my life and Budokai 3 made it worth living! Those 2 are super nostalgic for me. The intro to 3 was epic and so was the song Embrace the Blue Sky from story mode. The Budokai Tenkaichi series was great too esp with the team option they put in

    Toriyama quite literally turned me onto fighting. As a kid I sat and watched Dragonball amd Draginball Z for hours. And now as an adult I box and do jiu jitsu. I love it. And if it wasn't for this man Akira I would probably never have gotten into fighting. This series made me a fighter mentally, emotionally, amd physically. I'll never not owe my lifestyle to this man. I even workout and listen to Dragonball Z workout motivation videos. Its so crazy that a show based in fiction can impact our life so much. But im so happy that it has. Matter of fact I just had my 29th birthday and it was a surprise part thrown by my family. The whole thing including the balloons and cake were dragonball z themed.

    Dragon ball was such and still is a huge part of my life me and my friends in kindergarten would go to recess and reenact yesterday’s episode or person would narrate and say: “ last time on Dragon ball Z!” And we would often even do what if scenarios on the playground. I just remember always running home to catch the afternoon showings of dragon ball and dragon ball z back in the day and I loved it.

    I'm 25 and American but I didn't grow up with DBZ like a lot of my friends. Now I've decided to watch the whole saga, and I'm 60 episodes into Dragon Ball. Loving every episode so far. It feels wonderfully nostalgic, even watching it for the first time.

  • @AB-wm6hp
    @AB-wm6hp 5 років тому +5

    To be honest, I want to give some honest criticism on Akira Toriyama.
    Akira Toriyama is a very creative writer who has impacted the life of many people and is actually quite talent. However sometimes he can be a bit slow, he usually struggles to decide on a final decision and sort of wavers across the franchise. He often forgets many things and even forgot about Lunch/Launch. He seems to be a slow writer with a good mind. I think if he finds a way to make his mind more efficient and quicker to make ideas and make decisions so there needs to be less filler in the anime and stuff.

    Man this series means so much to me, I'm so glad to learn this info! Akira Toriyama is such an inspiration. I got into it from a friend who had tapes of the end of the Frieza and cell saga, equipped with commercials and bad subs. As a martial arts fan I was instantly hooked and the art style influenced my art for over 25 years. And I love the whole franchise, even GT. It made many friendships over the years and it's great to see so many fans world wide. When it got big on toonami, I had already seen most of the series so it wasn't until Super that I got to experience waiting for a new episode every week and the excitement of watching along fans for the first time in my experience. Love the series!

    I think in a way, Dragon Ball was the glimmer of hope in my life for me and sparked my thrive for bettering myself and become stronger in a sense. - Since I lived through some pretty dark times in my live pretty much through my late childhood and teens.
    Especially when Dragon Ball entered the training with Master Roshi arc, it did fascinate and captivate me.
    I never actually thought about how deeply rooted my ability, for overcome bad and worse situations in my life, while being some what intact as a human being would be in Dragon Ball.
    But now reflecting over it, it perfectly makes sense.
    I think it was only very much later with Star Trek, that then shaped this inner inspiration, into something I could actually grasp and pronounce.
    I also did take on Goku's training with Mr. Popo, who taught him to free his mind and spirit. This form of meditation works actual wonders and is a viable tool even in psychological treatment, how I found out later.

Editors are an often underrated position, but examples like this show how important their work really is. An early concept can always be made more appealing, or better structured, or more original.
