Tatsuya Nagamine, il regista di DBS: Broly, ha ricevuto il Global Impact Award alla 10ª edizione dei Crunchyroll Anime Awards. Ne sono felice. Ricordo ancora con dolcezza le chiacchiere che abbiamo scambiato su quando l'ho incontrato. La sua qualità ci mancherà sempre tanto.

Collector friend, I saw your photos and immediately recognized the layout of these cards, because we also have them in Italy in a set called “Scontro Finale”. Could you give me more information about the original set? @momentamswing
DragonBall ha cambiato il mondo. Nessuno può dire il contrario. Ma alcuni anime hanno cambiato l'Italia tra il 1978 e i 2000 (Goldrake e Heidi in primis). In più c'era la contro programmazione MTV con Evangelion (e altri) che ha formato i nuovi otaku italiani.
@wil3681 he means, they weren't internationally famous on that level. and in japan, they weren't viewed the same way as DB, they aren't the same type of series.
like how westerners aren't the same as 90s action flicks.
Yesterday, a malicious post was found from a Japanese-owned account calling itself "Information Bureau," featuring images of Yuji Itadori from "Jujutsu Kaisen," Tanjiro Kamado from "“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba”," Denji from "Chainsaw Man," and Yoichi Isagi from "Blue Lock," along with the abusive caption, "Torishima asserts that modern manga are generally garbage." Even Japanese people, who are immersed in manga and anime culture, are making such false posts and engaging in insulting behavior. These posts are being passed from influencers to influencers, and are coming from throwaway accounts with around 200 followers that have never even read manga and have no respect for the works. It makes me want to cry to think that there are so many people trying to make a quick buck off this, and I feel like the world is coming to an end. Since this is a good opportunity, I should mention that (despite rarely praising manga works in public) Mr. Torishima highly regards "Demon Slayer." He praised the dialogue, the way the protagonist is portrayed (the emphasis and the clear fact that the protagonist's goal is to save his sister), and the first page of the first volume of the manga (comics), saying it has the potential to surpass the first page of the first volume of "Dragon Ball." Personally, he doesn't like the melodrama seen in the flashback scenes before the demon dies, but Torishima, who rarely praises manga artists, highly praised the author, Koyoharu Gotouge. He generally praises "Jujutsu Kaisen," saying that it's a work that wouldn't have come about without Yoshihiro Togashi. However, he has also mentioned the skill of the artwork, the intensity of the battle scenes, and the superb cuts and panels that capture the sense of distance on several occasions on his show, and has made it clear that "I don't feature or talk about works that I don't rate highly." Despite the existence of such information, malicious posts that fail to trace the source accurately, neglect to investigate, and show no remorse whatsoever for damaging the creator's reputation, while trying to gain impressions based on rubbish information that has been circulating, are an insult not only to the work itself, but also to the readers and fans, as well as to the people involved. When we pointed this out, there was no reply, no explanation, no disclosure of the source, (of course) no apology, and the post in question was deleted. If you're going to delete it and run away, then don't spread that crap in the first place.
