- Anyone have the interview showing Toriyama forgot a lot about Dragonball?
Progamer2003 posted... Hasn't he been drawing for the Dragon Quest series? He does character design for other games as well. Posted from my Xbox360 with 360FAQS v1.1 |
Progamer2003 posted... Hasn't he been drawing for the Dragon Quest series? Since the 90's. He also did Chrono Trigger and tons of others. http://backloggery.com/main.php?user=lunarroar Official Grand Master Assassin of New York (Assassin's Creed 3 board) |
AT got Seagal and Shuster'd. The publishers were the ones who made out like bandits. He even admits most of his wealth came from Dr, Schlump and his freelancing work, such as his designs for Dragon Quest and Blue Dragon. AT has some pretty horrific stories about when he was working on Dragon Ball. Such as the times he was locked in a room by his editor until he would make a deadline. Or being deprived of sick days. Once he had to be hospitalized, and the editors sent someone to hang out by his hospital bed and nag him until he went back to work. Later, he was able to hire underlings, but that still didn't slow down the different ways they tried to screw him. One time he was even threatened by organized crime. Eventually, he quit the manga industry because of his deteriorating health, and because he was able to get out of his contract. He drew a protest strip where a robot was drawing at an easel with a sick mask tied over its face. http://i.imgur.com/qVPQF.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8GvC3.gif http://i.imgur.com/yipwq.gif http://i.imgur.com/W6CNo.gif http://i.imgur.com/jcJVe.gif |
Damn, that's pretty extreme. It also explain why he based at least two DB villains (Piccolo and Frieza) on his editors. 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. Bringing you the best of Americanized Anime. The dubbing company whom everybody loves ^_^ |
That's why mangaka are planning a revolt against their editors and publishers for years now. They don't get proper compensation and leeway for their creative work. Rest in Peace, my beloved dog and family member 1999-2011 http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/mppi0/can_you_guess_the_gender/ |
Still, that doesn't quite explains why some mangakas, like HxH's Togashi and Kubo, seem to get away with a lot of stuff. 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. Bringing you the best of Americanized Anime. The dubbing company whom everybody loves ^_^ |
infinitexx posted... Progamer2003 posted...Hasn't he been drawing for the Dragon Quest series? They pretty much always end up as looking like they came out of a Dragon Ball episode/sketch book anyways. I don't give a damn if you don't like me, because I don't like you, because you're not like me. |
From: Dejanji | #027 infinitexx posted...Progamer2003 posted...Hasn't he been drawing for the Dragon Quest series? I can't help but wonder if it's intentional. I mean, Toriyama's style is easily recognized and maybe it's used to hype the game. It works quite well with the DQ games, that series that itself has barely changed in more than two decades. 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. Bringing you the best of Americanized Anime.

FourKids posted... Still, that doesn't quite explains why some mangakas, like HxH's Togashi and Kubo, seem to get away with a lot of stuff. They do precisely because of what happened to Toriyama. Shonen Jump unintentionally killed their best money-maker by pushing Toriyama so hard that he quit the first chance he got. SJ has been going considerably easier on its other cash-makers since then. Less profit in the short term, but then the series run longer and everyone makes more money. Piracy is illegal and immoral. |

Bakuman makes most of the editors seem great! Hattori is probably the best person http://i.imgur.com/FIMMi.gif |
