Title Cards Drawn by Cartoonist Milt Gross for the 1942 Film Roxie Hart. Love these so much they have his natural trademark screwball energy.

I JUST FINISHED DAIMA!!!

Finishing it made me sad all over again for Toriyama's death. You can tell this was his work in a way that could never be done without him. Every bit of Dragon Ball crap written without him being the lead writer and decision maker has been inferior because it forgets the silly comedic roots and it has no love of weak side characters. Only Toriyama, not any of the people who try to follow in his footsteps for this poor IP, would have a joke character end up essentially the winner and hero of the whole story.

Daima was everything Toriyama's work has always been. A loving, silly short story that is more focused on being entertaining than being cool. Every single person I have ever seen complain about that anime did not understand why Dragon Ball ever got big in the first place.
