i dont know if anyone else did this but im doing it anyways a lot of it is pulled from his list of works wikipedia page but id figure i could at least make it easier to immediately see where to experience a lot of this stuff since a lot of it can be confusing to find super long post ahead

List of Akira Toriyama's stuff he did you can experience in some way:

(* means digital is the only option for people afraid of buckaneers and scallywags ** means the seven seas are the only (easily accessible to most) option ^ means it is (at least somewhat affordably) available physically or digitally, but not in English)

Manga

Dragon Ball related things:

Dragon Ball (the manga that Dragon Ball Z was adapted from is considered to be still a part of the original series. the manga relevant to that is/was sold over here as the Dragon Ball Z manga, but I'm not sure whats going on with that. can someone whos more of a dragon ball superfan help me figure that out a little???????? even the wiki articles are confusing me on this)

Dragon Ball Super (concepts, storyline, some storyboards and dialogue. It is mainly done by Toyotarou and was released at the same time as the anime before the manga got ahead of it)

Dragon Ball: The Return of Son Goku and Friends! (adaptation of the OVA. overseen storyboards and gave advice to Naho Ooishi. According to the intro he sees this as better than the special this was based off of)
