The writer of the prominent anime manga series Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, has proved yet again that he has an innate talent and creativity hidden inside his mind.
Started up with Weekly Shōnen Jump in the year 1984, the manga series Dragon Ball compiled its 519 individual chapters into two animation series named – Dragon Ball, and Dragon Ball Z.
And then the series began to broadcast in Japan, and brought a certain drift in terms of entertainment.
Since then, there has been no looking back for this talented writer, and creator of the tremendous anime series.
But the prolongation of entertainment didn’t end there itself, and Dragon Ball, which truly can be considered as the mother of the anime series Dragon Ball Z gave birth to several animated feature films, and television specials that we often download for some quality entertainment time during our leisure.
The series has been dubbed in numerous languages, and licensed especially for release in English in many countries, like – North America, United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia.
Apart from so many developments, in terms of the geographic expansion of the series, the rights of production of an American-made live-action movie were procured by 20th Century Fox in the year 2002.
Though the response of the film was not positive, still it was considered as a remarkable attempt.
Phew!
Well, I guess if I really start on to mention every single accomplishment of the series, I would keep writing pages on it.
Giggle.
Through all this, we can draw out that the creator doesn’t lack the talent at all, and therefore his work has attracted the attention of many.
Adding another feather to an already occupied hat, Akira made another beguiling attempt to engage his anime fans a little more!
And the attempt is of developing the timeless role-playing classic, CHRONO TRIGGER.
The game is especially designed for iPhone/iPod to offer the players a captivating gaming experience.
To the surprise of you all, about three-and-a-half million copies of the application have already been sold.
Whoa!
Hats off to you Akira!
Also, good luck for all your future endeavors.

The few people who dare to do so, are usually branded as ‘weird’, ‘loners’, ‘outcasts’ or ‘anti-social’.
Goku starts his search for these dragons quite early in life, and to conquer them, he undergoes quite rigorous martial arts training too.
He is everything that one hopes a villain to be – malicious, evil and manipulative.
It’s like a massive avalanche of animation engulfing everyone and sparing none in its path of anime carnage. Damn! I get carried away when I write on anime. My day doesn’t end if I don’t watch one of the episodes of the epic Dragon Ball Z. My obsession for the series grabs me by the collar and makes me witness the previous installments online.
