DBZx-- AN EXPERIENCE
Akira Toriyama
Have you ever asked anyone who made dragonball? most people give a answer of.."Funimation"...err..WRONG!! The right answer is Akira Toriyama, yea that guy, Funimation just bought the sales rights to the Dragonballs from pioneer and it turned out to be a cash crop in America. The Anime Dragonball was actually a comic book(manga) first untill Akira Toriyama decided to make his creation a T.V. show. The animated Dragon Ball TV series went on-air in Japan in 1986, the name of the series later changing to "Dragon Ball Z" in 1989. This second series, Dragon Ball Z, was a run away hit, producing literally hundreds of weekly episodes until its end in January 1996 — not to mention various animated movies and TV specials, plus a third TV series, independent of Toriyama's manga storyline, Dragon Ball GT, which started airing on Japanese TV right after the end of Dragon Ball Z. With these great creations of art Akira will forever probably be know as the guy who created dragonball but he does other things nowadays, like create videogames designs latest one was a video game character designer, where Japanese animation and comics are still only really beginning to catch on. Toriyama's characters are scene for popular video games such as Chrono Trigger and Tobal No.1 are instantly recognizable to akira's past stuff. From his words;In manga or animation, detailed designs make for hard work, but: you don't have those restrictions with video games. You have to give them distinguishing characteristics, even when they get reduced to a few pixels. It might be the same for animation. You'd have a dark character, a brown character, or even a purple character. For my own manga, I like to avoid the effort of using screen tones, but in animation, the very same thing has to be done to distinguish the characters. In video games, they might have costumes that I'd have a hard time keeping up with in manga. For animation, I have to come up with a compromise that won't tax the animators while still resembling the video game.
