It is official! Akira Toriyama is still a genius!

Recently re-read Dragon Ball's original arc and the cultural impact it and has on the modern anime, manga and how it inspired a whole generation of artists on a global scale is immense. DB might not hold up as much today from a story perspective but from a historical context and the pure genius of Akira Toriyama it is pretty insane how much he achieved.<br><br>A large portion of the anime you watch today might not be here if it wasn't for Dragon Ball and it's massive success. I still can't understand how one guy could draw/write a 800+ episode story. It is not even that popular in Japan anymore and it was pretty much dead before 2013 but it still has a massive world wide following.<br><br>Don't @ me.
