Dr. Slump
Kazuhiko Torishima, Toriyama's editor for "Dr. Slump" and the first half of "Dragon Ball", said that because the "Dr. Slump" anime was not successful in his opinion, he and Shueisha were a lot more hands on for the "Dragon Ball" anime. Before production even began, they created a huge "bible" for the series detailing even merchandise. He himself studied the best way to present anime and its business side, discussing it with the Shogakukan team for "Doraemon".
