Angelo's story:
Dragon Ball was first created
by a manga artist named Akira Toriyama whose works encompass, Dr. Slump
and the character designs of
many video games including
Tobal, Chrono Trigger, and Dragon Quest.
Dragon Ball made its' debut
in 1984 in the Weekly Shonen Jump. From there Dragon Ball, really took
off. During what I like to call the baby
years, Dragon Ball was
geared and suited more toward to the younger audiences with it's slapstick
comedy. But somewhere along the
lines, Dragon Ball began
to become more violent and less humorous. (Btw, it was near the end of
Dragon Ball, when Piccolo the Demon
King was first introduced,
it became more violent.) Soon, Dragon Ball, the anime ended and Dragon
Ball Z began. Dragon Ball Z focused
more on fighting and character
development then comedy. (Dragon Ball Z is still funny, of course.) From
there Dragon Ball Z, captured
the hearts of millions
all over Japan and the world. Officially, the Dragon Ball series is over,
but it still remains in the hearts of those fans who stuck with it through
all those years.
