A retrospective on the impact of a giant of popular fiction, gone to soon, through a reactions of generations of fans who came of age when his most famous work was a pillar of the first major era of online fandom communities and a retrospective sample - presented in memoriam - of how his incalculable legacy impacted, affected (and was covered by) our own corner of these digital dominions over the years.
Akira Toriyama's work touched the lives of billions worldwide, changed the face of not only Manga, Anime and video games but (just ask fans!) the worlds of professional wrestling, martial-arts culture and even professional bodybuilding - among others. Any life is too big for one video like this to do justice, and I'd never claim to be painting some definitive picture - only to offer the tribute I can; to fans and colleagues who I know are still reeling from a loss that still feels like a brutal and unfair shock.
