Ah, good question. Will do. I wonder which one he'll choose.
Personally, I think it's Naruto.

Re: New Book About Akira Toriyama - The Master of Manga
I contacted Oliver Richard's publisher and he agreed to an interview!
Do you guys have any questions for him? Anything you want to know about his book, Toriyama, his thoughts about manga and anime, etc?

Re: New Book About Akira Toriyama - The Master of Manga
Toriyama's art is very clean and stylistic. ... He could indeed be considered a master. I agree, and find that Kishimoto has a similarly attractive style. A paragraph from my book: "Masashi Kishimoto (born November 9, 1974) and creator of Naruto said “I'm 28 years old, and I'm older than my co...

For some reason I'm also seeing it called Akira Toriyama: The Living God of Manga elsewhere online. "Master" is used in the title for the cover image on Amazon. "Living God" is what it says on the cover image you posted. Right, I could see the differences in the French, but why ...

What or where is the Zugayasan that Toriyama mentions?
I need help tracking down the origin of a word that Toriyama uses. In Daizenshuu 6: Movies & TV Specials, Toriyama replies to the following question in an interview: "I: Is there a 'starting point' to your drawing? TA: I myself believe it was Walt Disney and Tezuka Osamu. When I was a child...

Re: How Does Broly See?
As I understand it, the reason Broly's pupils disappear is because he is losing control of his main consciousness and letting his assistant consciousness take over. He loses logic and reason, but his powers increase dramatically as a result of letting go. The assistant consciousness shares the same ...

I am creating the final list of questions now and will then send it to them. If there is anything else you'd like to ask, then there's not much time left. Thanks again.

Re: DBZ making the big money in America
Figuring this out will be a herculean task. I have considered doing it before, but ultimately decided against it because of the huge investment of time it would require. To me it seems like it would be the equivalent of an audit against a major corporation. Though I am very interested in the figures...

Yeah, Drummond's "It's over NINE THOUSAND!!" definitely beats Sabat's rather weak "It's over nine thousand, ARGH!" yeah but why should Drummond think Vegeta is freaking out and screaming about it being 9000? Vegeta is twice that at the time... Because Goku is a low class Saiyan ...

Yeah, agreed. I love the sound effect that accompanies it. Gogeta doesn't even blink even though he has a demon's fist in his face. And then Janemba starts to dematerialize. Very cool.Codarik wrote:When Janemba punches Gogeta right in the middle of his face. Didn't effect Gogeta at all.
