The Life and Legacy of Akira Toriyama

Not gonna lie this one hit hard. Process your grief in community. Although we as an Anime community have our difference, I think we all understand that Akira Toriyama's impact on anime, gaming and popular culture is immeasurable. While I was more of a Sailor Moon gurlie, I fully understand and respect Toriyama's impact. I LOVED Kid Buu and Android 17 and have their funkos on my large Funko wall collection. My favorite seiyan is Vegeta because he always worked SO HARD and loved his wife dearly. Look at me rambling in my own description box haha. Apologies for the wonky editing and flubbing of words towards the end of this video. I kept recording multiple takes because I was getting emotional but trying to speak clearly.
