Posted (edited)

I grew up on a farm in the 90s. 
Dragon Ball was one of the first animated TV shows I watched and one of the only ones on the national tv channels of my country
Some of my earliest memories in life are connected to the show.
I used to watch it religiously along with Pokémon when I was around 5 to 7 years old. Every afternoon. Thank you, Akira. 
For all that magic you and your team brought to my life.
Watching the openings-endings-anime for me is like havin a timemachine to the past.
Is bringin back that beauty and innocence again  :heart: Rest in Heaven honey

This is such a tragic loss. He kind of pioneered a lot of elements of modern shonen with dbz. The first real crossover series too. Anime wouldn't be where it was today without dragon ball and dbz.

!!! So true!!! A real pioneer.

This is Dragon Ball we're talking about, literally a money machine, there's no way they will end it now

 

+ isn't Super drawn by Toyotaro? I'm sure he already knows the outline of the story from Toriyama, so he will be able to finish it by himself. Also the Daima anime

 

OT: Rest in peace legend
