Not gonna lie this one hit hard. Process your grief in community. Although we as an Anime community have our difference, I think we all understand that Akira Toriyama's impact on anime, gaming and popular culture is immeasurable. While I was more of a Sailor Moon gurlie, I fully understand and respect Toriyama's impact. I LOVED Kid Buu and Android 17 and have their funkos on my large Funko wall collection. My favorite seiyan is Vegeta because he always worked SO HARD and loved his wife dearly. Look at me rambling in my own description box haha. Apologies for the wonky editing and flubbing of words towards the end of this video. I kept recording multiple takes because I was getting emotional but trying to speak clearly. ✨Follow me on Social Media✨ ✨Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miladyconfetti/ ✨TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@miladyconfetti ✨Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/miladyconfetti ✨Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/miladyconfetti ✨Sources✨ ✨Anime Show Profiles via Crunchyroll, IMDB and Anime News Network ✨IMDB- Akira Toriyama https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0868066/bio/ Sources Women's Suffrage: ✨Women's Rights, Feminism, and Suffragism in Japan, 1870-1925 Barbara Molony https://www.jstor.org/stable/3641228 ✨Birth Control and Socialism: The Frustration of Margaret Sanger and Ishimoto Shizue's Mission- Aiko Takeuchi-Demirci https://www.jstor.org/stable/23613288 ✨Japan's Feminist Fabulation- Akiko Ebihara https://web.archive.org/web/20141107125736/http://www.genders.org/g36/g36_ebihara.html ✨Broken Silence: Voices of Japanese Feminism https://www.amazon.com/Broken-Silence-Aoki-Yayoi/dp/0520085140/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 ✨Japanese Women's Science Fiction: Posthuman Bodies and the Representation of Gender- https://openscholarship.wustl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1442&context=art_sci_etds ✨Women of Japan unite: Examining the contemporary state of feminism- Masami Ito https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2015/10/03/lifestyle/women-japan-unite-examining-contemporary-state-feminism/ ✨Yoshihiro Togashi https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/1b9k6my/yoshihiro_togashi_talks_about_akira_toriyama_jump/ ✨ Seeing Rejection As Redirection: What We Gain When We Lose. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/seeing-rejection-redirection-what-we-gain-when-lose-rich-wills/ ✨Music✨ Cherry Bomb by Milady Confetti 2024
