It is decided that works such as Naruto and Bleach will be produced as animations only after more than 10 books have been published
Relatively, the animation production team
Since there is a lot of footage that has already been released, you can take your time to produce it

It was a super hit, so Akira Toriyama finished the series of “Dr. Slump”
The Dragon Ball that we decided to publish in a series,
I’m confident that it’ll be a popular movie without having to check what it’s about

After all, for animators, Dragon Ball is
From the start! Hell!It was a piece of the same schedule
It’s a story related to the series. I knew it to a certain extent,
