Only today it happened that an idea popped up in my head.
I've always been a Dragon Ball fan and there came a point where I read that it is Akira Toriyama who created the whole Dragon Ball.
This was quite a long time ago. Since then I have developed a real respect for Mr Toriyama.
Today it occurred to me how I could support him personally.
As we know when we age we don't think about charities or fundraisers or donations, we just soak with whatever comes to us. We are not at the stage of supporting yet, we are at the stage of taking. Downloading from the internet because you just don't have enough money to buy an original product, and even if you have that money you would find a hundred other, more important stuff to buy for that money. When you start earning your money you obviously have very little but then when year goes by year you start to think in a different perspective, precisely what can you do with your money to make someone else's live just a little bit less hard.
My first donation was maybe 5 years ago. It was probably like really less than a dollar. This was before I heard of sites that raise money, which is absolutely a great idea because when someone let's say sick is in need of a 200 000 dollars then obviously to find a person who would give this person $200 000 dollars is doable, but very hard. BUT, finding 200 000 people that would spend just one dollar, provided you spread the message to the larger audience, is really something that may and is happening.
About a year ago I stumbled across yet another e-mail from a Polish Dragon Ball portal which is producing a subtitles. BTW these subtitles are just SO great! I never thought that proper subtitles can make the show(Dragon Ball) so much better and more entertaining. I am talking about guys from www.grupa-mirai.pl . They translated nearly all of every existing Dragon Ball episode. The translation is so great because they translated from English but also from Japanese, that way the original context could remain almost intact. Additionally they gave the subs such a cool font that when I tried to watch with different subs I had a hard time enjoying the show. I encourage you to see for yourselves.
So.. I got an e-mail from them. Another. But this time I was really into watching their subs and thought.. why not just spend 7złoty a month for a subscription. These guys are doing amazing job and I really "take" from them much. And it's roughly $1.75 . I spent similar for Icloud every month.
Going back to supporting Akira.. As we were all or most of us kids back when Dragon Ball originally aired in TV for the first time(it happened in Poland around year 2000) we could only "take" and of course- Mr Toiyama is making money on Dragon Ball, on the merchandize, comic books, basically every Dragon Ball related official item. But to say Arigatou gizaimasu to him from the bottom of my heart, I'd like to create a fund raiser for people who think the same as me. I don't know his financial situation right now but I think every penny counts and without him we would live in a world without Dragon Ball...
What is left to arrange is to find a site which we could use and of course.... find a way to his bank account to transfer the money(which is the harder part). I know this site is gigantic and a lot of important people are here. So any of you happen to know a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy that knows Mr Toriyama?
If I can contribute to the making of Dragon Ball and say my personal THANK YOU to Mr Akira Toriyama for his creation I'd like to do that and a simple $1 would not kill me monthly but altogether would help Mr Toriyama a lot! Imagine even if a 100 people would think the same, would already be $100 a month more for him. And I'm pretty sure that there are more people that would be willing to do it....
So what 'ya think?
