What are Dragon Ball Landmark/Forever?

Post by Chibi Mystic Gohan » Tue Dec 06, 2005 5:09 pm

Are they like the Daizenshuu at all? All I know is that Toriyama explains some name meanings in Forever (from Julian's canon name section).

They're companion guides to the Kanzenban releases. Guides with all kind of info and summaries for the Kanzenban volumes.

I own Landmark, and you get things like Tenkaichi Budôkai schedules, information 'bout Gokû's enemies, how the quests for the Dragon Balls went [who got which DB], summaries, interview with Toriyama, some of the DB art other mangaka drew & random info like training techniques Gokû used.

I have Dragonball Forever. It has a character glossary, a few family trees, stickers of all the Kanzenban covers, all of the cover art for all 42 volumes of the original tankobon, an item list, and these 2-3 page summaries and images of some of the major characters. There's a bunch more stuff in there, too.

I particularly liked this, even though I don't understand Japanese.


On a side note, if there's any place I can get Landmark, can anyone tell me?

Dont buy any of them if you have any of the Daizenshuus. I have both of them and most of the Daizenshuus and I was pretty dissapointed. Landmark/Forever basically cover the information that's in Daizenshuus #5 and #7. What I'm getting at is theres nothing new in these two books.

You can get landmark at Sasuga Japanese Bookstore. Type that into google because I'm too lazy to check out the address right now.

I think that is Kinokuniya. I haven't been there in a while, but I'm pretty sure its near Nintendo World.
