Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

I definitely think that the production committee members are going to push for more Dragon Ball to be created, but I am doubtful that a central franchise figure will be chosen to replace Toriyama. I think that there will be some synergy on the part of the marketing a new animated series post-Daima, ...

I think it'll be fine, and they straightened out everything they needed.
Doubt they'll cancel it at this point.
They've done too much animation to quit at this point lol.

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

It was bad according to Toriyama. That is the point. It was bad according to Toriyama, so Toriyama changed it and we got the Lord Beerus we all know. So Lord Beerus and the entirety of BoG aligns with Toriyama's vision. Except his script is still based on the ideas of others. Making a film takes mo...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

How can I consider any of that to be some kind of "artistic vision" when it's clear Toriyama never wanted to do any of these things in the first place? Because, even though he originally "did not want to do any of those things", he still ultimately contributed to those things. H...

Nobody takes Dragon Ball beyond Toriyama because their hands are tied by executive and Toriyama meddling.

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

I'm kind of repeating myself here, but I really don't see the point in placing some kind of 'canon' on a pedastool, when it completely ignores whether a work of art is good . I think it's important that we keep that in mind, because it isn't some nebulous idea of 'canon' that is the connective tissu...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Canon is no reason to experience a work of art. Canon is no reason to out a work of art in a pedastool. There's nothing fun—and entirely too much importance given to—worrying about silliness like 'canon'. Find a work of art that you enjoy and enjoy it for that.

Oh man... :(

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Speaking as someone who has written 125,000 words of her own original novel since May 2023, I can confirm that authors like the freedom that comes with writing original works—even if they still borrow elements from other works. That's just how art is made. We make art to satisfy our needs, after all...

Re: Dragon Ball Going to the Public Domain When!?

I believe in Japan a work enters public domain seventy (70) years after the death of the author.

Oy vey, what a weird conversation to be having so soon after his death. :/

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

The problem has lied in that Dragon Ball has always been a work of a series creator who didn't really have a dedicated passion for writing, and corporate suits. It's rare that it has been allowed a moment to be told by a creator unencumbered by something . I think that Nagamine's Movie #20 was the c...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

Now that I've had some time to process Toriyama's passing, I do have some concerns about the future. My suspicion is that Iyoku Akio will chase the ambulance until the cows come home—which is to say, I think he'll want to keep franchising the series out, which was the reason he formed Capsule Corp T...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Toriyama owned Dragon Ball and as creator was the ultimate authority figure. If I had to guess, one of his kids will become the steward of the franchise from here on out.

That being said, I don't really think that this is the time for this conversation.
