ONLY HITLER DOESN'T LIKE DR. SLUMP.

[Nixon]

Yeah, it's finally out here in the states, in graphic novel form, presented in the correct right to left reading format. 185 pages of Akira Toriyama's best manga ever for $7.99! There are tons of funny and naughty adventures in Penguin Village!

If you are a cautious fanboy, then be a bum and read through some of it at the comic store first.

I ordered mine off eBay for 5 bucks, but you can find copies in most comic stores and any other place that has manga graphic novels.

[Vonwert]

Yeah, I remember seeing them in Barns and Noble, when I was buying "House Of Leaves". :)

[The Toecutter]

And it has Unchi-Kun?

[Nixon]

There is unchi, but unchi-kun doesn't show up until later.

[The Toecutter]

Unchi is cool too. Scary things show up on google when you image search Unchi and Unchi-Kun.

I sampled it at a book store. Quality material, indeed. Too bad I have a huge back catalog of stuff I need to get before it.

[Valkysas]

speaking of hitler, anyone know why toriyama seems to be obsessed with him?

[John Mora]

Toriyama is Hitler.

[Nixon]

I don't know, but I have this set of gashapon on my desk:

That is a very good question. The only thing I've noticed is that he seems to like drawing the planes and tanks of that era... in a super-deformed style. And I've heard that he loves to build all sorts of model vehicles/etc.

Hitler shows up in one of the Dragonball movies. Was it the one with Janemba? I think so, but it's been a while since I've seen it.

[highwind]

I will put this on my mental "to do" list.

[The_Real_Crunk]

Yeah, I remember seeing that in one of the movies.

All the dead people are comingback to life in zombie form, and for some reason zombie Hitler and zombie Freeza lead them. At least thats how I remember it.

It deserved a "WTF".

[SirTMagus]

The only combination of Toriyama and Hitler I can remember was that Goku x Anne Frank fanfic.

Here's a screenshot for the curious.

It is from DBZ movie 12.

That wacky Toriyama~!

[Kefka Jr.]

Why does his hat have the same symbol as the enemies from Metal Slug?

[Denmo]

Because Toriyama is a metal slug fan?

I dunno, it sorta fits what's already been said about him.

[Hyper Dingo]

How's the translation of it nix? Is it faithful to the original?

[Nixon]

Yep. They've done a wonderful job on the translation. The people at VIZ have wanted to bring Slump over since they started publishing the dragonball manga back in like the 90's. Everytime someone would ask about it, they would mention how much they loved it and were hopeful that they would get the liscense for the manga.

I have only noticed a few things they changed, but it's really minor stuff. I would be nit-picking if I complained about this translation.

[Hyper Dingo]

heheh Yeah i bought it today ^_^ I've only read a couple of volumes of it scanlated. I also picked up the newest Shonen jump out of curiosity (Started reading scanlations of my favorite titles long ago) They're only just finishing the baratie arc in one piece now X_X
