Welcome to the Animation Guide. Before we get this "tour" started there are a few points I want you to understand. Firstly, this info is not 100% accurate - I have made this with very few resources and so nothing is guranteed to be correct. Secondly, not all techniques listed may have been used during the making of DB/DBZ/DBGT. So...let's get started! |

But where was DBZ made?!
DB/DBZ/GT was made in the depths of Japan....well, not the depths but in Japan. It was made by TOEI animation and created in Bird Studios. I believe that is the correct birthplace, but FUNimation did NOT animate DBZ. They were the dubbing, licensing, distibuting....blah blah...company that brought DBZ to the Americans |
