Just heard the news about Akira Toriyama's unfortunate passing. I could NOT believe my eyes when I saw the tweet that announced his unfortunate death. Had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't bullshit. His work has had a huge influential in the world of anime, especially in the west given that Dragon Ball was what helped anime became so mainstream in the west. RIP Akira Toriyama 1955-2024 ;~;

Man I was really hoping that too. I was hoping that this was nothing more than some troll making some fake news for shits and giggles. (even though it wouldn't have been funny.) Which is why I did a double take to make sure it was legit and not someone making shit up for cloud. Unfortunately it wasn't a prank. :(

Rewatching the series, reminds me how much the og was lighthearted. I miss that. I hope Daima delivers that. Modern DB just bores me with constant bad guys wanting to destroy or rule the world. Just give me an exciting new adventure again.

3 ай бұрын

I'm definitely curious about the direction Daima will go, and am hoping that if they're going through the trouble of making it a plot point that everybody is turned young again, it doesn't just wind up being some dumb gimmick with no significant payoff.

Now that Akira Toriyama has sadly been sent to the Next Dimension, this song SLAPS HOT FIRE TWICE AS HARD!!! Gotta thank the author for his timeless contribution here. Unfortunately i might not be alive long enough to see ANY of his works, including the Dragon Ball franchise, be unleashed into the public domain.

RIP Akira Toriyama 😢

Rest in peace toriyama san!

Dragon Ball may have not have the best writing, but it always made up for it with everything else.

Before it was fighting for many episodes and many new training and abilities it was just a show about searching around the place trying to find all of the dragon balls to summon shenron

Ageless, and timeless. That those words are in this song of all things, a greater understatement has never been said.

That "and make new friends along the way" brings the same joy as busting a fat one.

Rip my king

Excellent love this theme and anime Dragonball

I can’t find this on Spotify😢

I decided to rewatch the original Dragonball cus I watched it 6 years ago and I never finished it and I don’t remember what happens and I don’t regret it, I wanna actually finish it so that I can move onto the rest of them cus I wanna know what I’m missing out on.
