Most of my exposure is to Dragonball Z, which I understand isn't the best structured or intelligent show in the world... but I love Toriyama's art style and I could feel so much passion from the characters, and as an INFP, watching the character's emotions take on a tangible form in conflict appealed to me in a very primal way. I still appreciate it as an adult because I can just feel how much emotional investment the author put into it.
The thing is that Toriyama is notorious for two things.
a. Never planning ahead. At all. Ever. For any reason.
b. Constantly making whatever choice seemed most interesting at the time and just running with it.
And man... the manga has even more personal investment in it than the anime did. It was crazy. I always read it and felt like I was sitting with an old friend. An old friend who understood me, because as I was growing up I really identified with a lot of the characters and their moral conflicts; it helped me understand my parents sometimes, too, strange to say.
I actually wrote my final project for AP psychology on Dragonball and psychoanalytical coping styles, IIRC >_>
Wait, what? Vector, likes Dragonball?
Huh, I thought you didn't, since you kept pointing out how silly it was.
No, I love it =/ But it's kind of embarrassing, because in most places one can't mention it without being laughed out of town. I think I was worried this was one of those places.
oO I have it in French...
Same here. That was the first language I read it in. I also own all of it in Japanese. It's one of the materials I use to crosscheck translation nuances and stuff like that.
