Replying to Avatar Guy Swann

Confession: I was never a fan of DBZ. In fact, I often openly mocked it as a kid. I honestly tried to watch it and find the appeal, but I never could bring myself to like it, even to this day.

But I can't deny the positive influence it had on some of the best people I know. Our tastes may be different, but our thirst for meaning and truth in storytelling is the same.

So even though I will likely never be a DBZ fan, I appreciate the difference that Akira Toriyama made for the world. May he rest in peace. 😔

I’ll be frank, I thought DBZ was weird as shit for the first 3 episodes my friend forced me to watch. But somewhere on the 4th or 5th, I started to care about what was going to happen next. It was much later I was hooked. DBZ was the source of 10s of thousands of hours of daydreams when I was a kid. Somehow it was just the coolest thing.

To this day I still have always wanted to make a serious live action version that wasn’t the awful garbage that has been attempted previously.

he also made things like Chrono trigger which cemented the entire jRPG genre of gaming 😁
