AKIRA NO.1: A Farewell to the Godfather of Manga (2024 - THE NEW CHALLENGER PRODUCTIONS)

(This video is not monetised. Please do share it around, if it bespeaks the truth of how Master Akira Toriyama's works affected your life). As a child, Dragon Ball Z was all I had. I have many things I'd like to say about him, things that aren't in this speech, delivered by the amazing Jordan Woollen (the voice of Vegeta in LEGEND - A Dragon Ball Tale). But you know, maybe I don't need to share them. I think that art is a very honest way to deliver to you what's inside someone's soul. So please accept this small tribute as my version of a eulogy, for the late Master Akira Toriyama. Rest in peace, power, and prosperity, my friend. ------------------------------------------------------------ THE NEW CHALLENGER PRODUCTIONS (Formerly STUDIO STRAY DOG) FULL TEAM CREDITS: ✪ Animation, Storyboards, Direction: NASEER PASHA. ✪ Colour Direction: MICHAEL CHUNG. ✪ Audio Direction, Sound Engineering: DAVID VITAS. ✪ Production Management, Japanese Dialogue: KANAKO PASHA. ✪ Character Layout, Background: NASEER PASHA, MIKE CHUNG, SANDIE GRUNBERG ✪ Additional Animation, Cel Colour: MATTHEW BAKERDJIAN, NASEER PASHA, ✪ Composite, Final Edit: NASEER PASHA. ✪ Music: COOPER MADEN X DAVID VITAS - "The Number One Hero" STARRING ☆ JORDAN WOOLLEN ☆ (Vegeta) ☆ REI TADANO ☆ (Son Goku) ------------------------------------------------------------ THE TEAM'S SOCIAL LINKS: Mike Chung:   / mikeballoonwatcher   David Vitas: https://www.davidvitas.com/ Jordan Wollen:   / jordanwoollenvo   Rei Tadano:   / zinseifuntai   Cooper Maden: Matthew Bakerdjian:   / matt_a_mation   Sandie Grunberg:   / sandies_sketchbook   ------------------------------------------------------------ ☆ONLINE STORE: https://www.sketchycorners.com/ ☆PATREON:   / agentmysterymeat   ☆TWITTER:   / remengeance   ☆INSTAGRAM:   / mystery_meat   ------------------------------------------------------------ Tools of the trade: ☆Drawing Tablet: https://amzn.to/3giyLMV ☆Fight Stick for Shortcut Hot Keys: https://amzn.to/3fizMDJ ©The New Challenger Productions Inc.
