Evaluation of Dragon Ball Works
Dragon Ball is one of the most influential Japanese cartoons in China and the representative work of Japanese cartoonist Toriyama Akira. The story leads readers from mountain villages to cities, from the earth to aliens, from now to the future, with both wonderful fights and sincere feelings.
The success of Dragon Ball is unprecedented, which not only makes the sales volume of Junior Jump surpass that of Junior magazine and reach the highest position in history, but also affects the cartoon pattern in Japan and gives birth to the concept of "passionate teenager". Takeshi Obata, who is about the same age as Toriyama Akira, simply divided cartoons into "Wang Daoman" and "Evil Road Man" in the cartoon "Dream Eaters", which describes the life of cartoonists, and this concept began with "Dragon Ball".
