Dragon Ball: A Visual History review

October 11, 2024 - Reading time: ~1 minute - Category: reviews

This is an absolutely fantastic artbook, covering every year of the original Dragon Ball release up through the first two Super movies. It's laid out beautifully, with tons of full-color illustrations and some pieces never seen before in English.This isn't a book you'll devour like a novel. But it's immensely satisfying to flip through, as a lifelong fan of the series, and see all this beautiful art and little snippets and interviews.

It's a shame Toriyama passed away so relatively young. His art style is so unique and had such an outsized influence on anime and games. To have that taken away is a huge loss, but seeing how many people were inspired by his work is a real treat.

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, history, and anything else I find interesting. 

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
