Flyer for the "Arcadia of My Youth vs Dr. Slump and Arale-chan Fair", which was held on the observation deck floor of the Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku from 23 July to 31 August 1982. This was a promotional event organised by Toei Animation to promote two of it's anime films being released in July; "Arcadia of My Youth" and "Dr. Slump: 'Hoyoyo!' Space Adventure". Apart from displays and merchandise being sold, the fair also included a Leiji Matsumoto autograph session and lecture.

Dr. Slump

everyone knows dragonball/dragonball z, but let me introduce you to my favorite toriyama series: Dr. Slump

dr. norimaki created arale-chan (the one with the hat, obvs). she's a robot, and the "most perfect girl" robot, but she's very near sighted, doesn't have a belly button (much to her consternation), and ridiculously strong, short-tempered, and generally adorable.

dr. slump, outside of old die-hard anime fans from the 90s tape-trading days, never made much of a splash in the West, which is a shame, because i think it's his best work. so many other series were influenced by dr. slump, including azumanga daioh, yotsuba, nichijo, and more. i used to cosplay arale-chan back in the day.

toriyama, you'll be missed <3

The great thing about Halloween is cosplaying at work.
