Akira Toriyama's 2004 Germany Interview Translated

[DerekPadula]

I've translated Akira Toriyama's lost interview in Germany, from his trip to the Leipzig Book Fair in 2004.

What do you think about the new info?

Getting ideas is difficult. You have to open your sketchbook and go through different concepts. Since I’m not an ordinary guy, I try to avoid simple stories. The right combination of firmly planned ideas and spontaneous ideas that come to mind is very important.

I want this Toriyama to be the one from nowadays.

I’ve been more focused on graphic design lately, but eventually I want to draw a Super-manga!

Geez... He foresaw (almost) everything.

You wrote in your article you couldn't find anything online from this. Well, the jump ryuu interview you declined to edit has Toriyama drawings Goku during this event. It's been translated and edited now BTW so it should be released this year.

Thanks for the reminder. I knew I had seen it somewhere, but wasn't clear on where, and I didn't have the time this weekend to search for it again.

Once it's online, I can update this post or create a new one.
