The respect I've seen from outlets completely unrelated to anime is crazy:

My local theater does an OVA night the last Monday of every month, and the one tonight is an all nighter tribute. AFAIK, they're showing Dead Zone, Fusion Reborn, Go Go Ackman, and some Dr. Slump episodes.

I wish I could stay up for that.

Going to an anime con today. I expect to see a higher than usual Dragon Ball cosplay in tribute to Toriyama.
Still feels so surreal. I know he was getting older, but he wasn't really that old. It just came as such a shock. He was still actively developing so many projects.

I really wanted him to do whatever new IP would have him draw all the nice jackets and small cars he'd like. And dinos. He was so good with that stuff, almost a shame he only got to do them on volume covers and occasional chapters.

Is Akira Toriyama the most famous Japanese person?

idk about most famous but he's probably the most influential to late 20th century/21st century art and entertainment

Shigeru Miyamoto might be in the discussion there.

Judging purely by the reaction to his death I'm gonna have to agree here.

Does anyone know if he designed things like the Capsule Corp logo?

It's kind of genius, like professional grade.

It technically already existed since the copyright symbol already existed and he clearly took inspiration from it.

Technically it didn't already exist, and the Capsule Corp. Logo is technically not the copyright symbol, technically.

I walked into my local library and saw a center display in memory of Toriyama. Made me smile.

So then you're saying he stole the design.

At least he left us with his final work: Dragonball Daima, which is such a coincidence that it was announced this year as well.

Can't even post Bulma manga panels without getting banned
Well he did the art for Dragon Warrior for the NES, and that was a good integral part of my childhood in video gaming, so this topic should be seen through if you ask me.
