Akira Toriyama complained to Toei about the quality of Super (x-post from r/DBZ)


https://twitter.com/M1120A/status/689451554777133056thanks to /u/emmawinters on /r/dbz for posting the comment :)This is Toriyama's opening comment from the new 30th anniversary Super History Book.Kei translated the relevant bit himself:Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime, so it seems that Dragon Ball has grown on me [so] much that I can't leave it alone.You usually don't say something like this openly in Japan, which makes his comment all the more surprising. I'm sure most of us knew that he felt this way deep down, but it's wonderful that he actually spoke up about it, like he did with Dragon Ball Evolution.Is this the first time that someone officially involved with the series has acknowledged and complained about the quality of Dragonball Super?No. We've had many staff complaints, the most recent of which comes from one of the upcoming animators:"Dragon ______, where I'm working at the moment, is beyond help. The animation director can only check the layout for the next 10 days. No matter what, the quality can't be guaranteed. Who messed the schedule up, and when?" http://ift.tt/1QcpELw
