...fuck, and now I'm bummed. Dragon Ball was what introduced plenty people (including me) to anime; it's like Toriyama-sensei opened a gate for us and said "see this? It's anime. Have fun!". I'm near my 40s and I still have DBZ T-shirts, to give you an idea of the long-term (and positive!) impact of his work.

And when it wasn't anime, it was games. I seriously doubt that Chrono Trigger would be loved by so many people without Toriyama designing the characters. (inb4 that's why Crono resembles Goku.)

May he rest in peace, and my condolences to the family.
