Dragonball AF Date: 10/25/2005 |
Dragonball AF is a sort of self perpetuated myth which grew out of a rumor that it was a new series being developed by original creator Akra Toriyama in Japan. As far as is known the origin of the rumor was the USA. The rumor became so widespread that FUNimation issued a special statement several years back that Dragonball GT was indeed the last official series and neither the rumored AF nor V sequels existed. Toei Animation has confirmed this information. However, this didn't stop fans in the USA from creating Dragonball AF themselves as a dojin (composed of about 200+ stories). News of this creation has spread back to Japan and several fan websites examining from the Japanese point of view have popped up (1, 2). Most of the reactions are amazement at the high power levels of some of these unofficial characters and the amazing combinations (4 saiyen merge into one etc..). |
