The Go! Go! Ackman short animated feature is an adaptation of the original 1993-1994 manga series by Akira Toriyama which premiered at the V-Jump Festival event in 1994. A VHS release (comprised of footage from the event along with this animated feature) followed soon after.

The special's original draft was written (TBD), with the script written by (TBD) and direction by (TBD).

Event Background

V-Jump Festival was an event held by Shueisha in conjunction with their V-Jump magazine and overall "Jump" brand of publications, running from 1994 (when, following two trial periods over the course of 1990 to 1993, V-Jump then received a full monthly reboot publication in 1993) to 1999. During those years, the event was held first in Tokyo, and then again soon after in Osaka; for 1994 in particular, these respective event dates were 28 July 1994 and 06 August 1994[1].

V-Jump Festival ended with its 1999 event. Shueisha kicked off a larger event called Jump Festa later that year in December 1999 (dated for calendar year 2000), which continues to this day. With the launch of the magazine Saikyō Jump in 2010, V-Jump Festival as a sub-branded event was later spiritually reborn into Saikyō V-Jump Festa for 2012 and 2013, itself morphing into Jump Victory Carnival in 2014 (which, as with Jump Festa, still runs annually to this day).

Production

Shueisha launched V-Jump as a special extra publication of Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1991 with a three-issue trial run. Akira Toriyama provided three chapters (one per issue) of the original Savings Soldier Cashman for this run. Shueisha rebooted the magazine at a different print size in 1992, this time running for four issues; Toriyama once again contributed an original manga, this time the four-chapter series Dub & Peter-1.

The magazine was rebooted once again in May 1993 (dated for July 1993), this time launching as an independent monthly magazine (a schedule it maintains to this day). Toriyama returned yet again, this time with Go! Go! Ackman, which ran for 11 chapters in Shueisha's V-Jump magazine from its July 1993 issue (released 21 May 1993, kicking off its monthly reboot) to October 1994 issue (released 22 August 1994); there was a five-month hiatus between the seventh and eighth chapters.

When the series returned to V-Jump for its eighth chapter in the July 1994 issue (released that May), as part of a multi-page blowout of Akira Toriyama-related content, a two-page splash announced that Go! Go! Ackman would receive an animated adaptation at that year's V-Jump Festival, showcasing a small tease at storyboards and noting the fact that Toriyama himself provided the adapted character designs for the feature.[2] The cover for this July 1994 issue was provided by Naoki Miyahara.
