>Torishima: To sum up Toyotaro’s point: it’s like trying to make Gekiga with a ruler. Toriyama drew very freely by hand, there was always lightness and fluidity in his linework. I don’t think CGI is made for his style.
>(Editor’s Note): Gekiga is a manga style from the 1950s-60s: more realistic, expressive, and emotional. Using a cold, rigid tool like a ruler for something like Gekiga is contradictory. Torishima once said: “You want to create something alive and expressive, but you approach it like a technician, not like an artist.”
>Nakatsuru: While working on Dragon Ball DAIMA, I realized that traditional animation is very labor-intensive: it takes a lot of time to produce. So if we can find the right way to use it, I believe CGI and even AI, can help us work faster, and develop more polished animations that could appeal to a broader audience. That’s my hope.
>Like Torishima said, the key is thinking how to use the tool well, so you’re not enslaved by it.
>Toyotaro: I already tried asking ChatGPT for story ideas, but it was a waste of time. (laughs)
>(Editor’s Note): That was obviously a joke from Toyotaro. Please don’t twist his words on social media.
