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

blown away by how much I realize that I liked him

it'd be enough if he was just the artist for one hugely important and influential series with a sense of child-like whimsy, but he did dragon ball AND dragon quest

RIP rat-salute

and chrono trigger! the fact that chrono trigger is only maybe the 3rd most important thing he did is astounding
