seeing this made me just break down crying. if you'd asked me yesterday what i thought of akira toriyama i would have probably said i respected him immensely, but his work didn't hold a special place in my heart. but realizing that he's gone is just devastating. such an iconic, important artist. the world is worse without him

I discovered anime as an adult, so it wasn't a part of my childhood, but Toriyama sensei had such an immense impact on the entire manga/anime industry as a whole that it's hard not to get emotional for any anime/manga fan.
I was surprised by how distraught I got when I saw the headlines. I'm going to rewatch the OG Dragonball show, since I can't stop remembering this iconic story and replaying my favourite scenes from it in my head.
