The Chōzenshū databook thread: speculation, discussion, etc.

Subtract 68 images for when you just count up the front and back covers for the kanzenban.

We still don't have the preorder for this Artbook on CDJapan, do we? I'm waiting for this one to be ordered together with the last Chozenshuu... Bye!

Nope, not yet. It should pop up in a couple of weeks though.

135 Toriyama Dragon Ball illustration from 1995 to 2013. Is that possible?

They don't specifically say it'll all be Toriyama illustrations, as far as I can see, so it could have a bunch of pictures from the likes of Nakatsuru and Yamamuro. I'm tempted to think this will mainly be Daizenshuu 1 combined with Golden Warrior, plus the "Rare Illustrations" section from Daizenshuu 7 and whatever other various stuff Toriyama has done lately.

Herms, could you check out this thread and see what it says in the scan? http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtop ... &start=120
thanks

Nothing pertaining to the Chōzenshū or Chōgashū.

Or was that post just a hail-mary in the hopes that he'd be more likely to read it here, in order to chime in on that thread?

Just 240? Ain't that less than Daizenshuu 1? I was hoping at least for a size similar to the Chozenshu pagewise...
Still gonna get it though.
Well it's still possible it's the Daizenshuu (minus the interview) combined with the Golden Warrior and whatever new things Toriyama has drawn.

EDIT: Nope, Daizenshuu 1 was 217 pages. I'm still thinking they may remove the interview...

The Chōgashū looks pretty interesting, normally I don't get Japanese guidebooks since the information is useless to me but since the point of this is the art I'm interested. Although, that's going to be pretty pricey when shipping is added.

135 new illustration in 23 page?!

Same. I might get this as well. Here's hoping shipping doesn't screw me over too much.

I'm on the fence with this one. I already own both the Golden Warrior and Viz's "Complete Illustrations" artbooks... if someone can confirm if there's a sizable amount of new or unreleased art, I'll pick this one up.

Being an animator and illustrator, artbooks totally appeal to my sensibilities. That's why I love companies like Udon!

What contains exactly the "Animation Dragonball The Great History" poster from Chōzenshū 2?

I hadn't noticed the "AND MORE!?" is not only in English and in all caps, but has both a question mark and an exclamation point at the end to further add to its vagueness. I'm surprised this image wasn't the one they used for that fake "new series" rumor.

I don't think it's that vague though, right below "AND MORE?!" is a blue box with stuff about the new film.

The "AND MORE?!" part is after the blue box with stuff about the new film.

Oh okay, I see the arrow now.

Thanks, I know the poster but unfortunately I can't read it.

So, are the Chouzenshuu "confirmed" to be scanned from the Daizenshuu or was it just Chouzenshuu 1 that seemed a little odd?

Also:

Don't they have a little bit more picture? I think I can see more of Shuu's sword in the Chouzenshuu.
