Re: Akira Toriyama getting cancelled (not really: contextless, disingenuous social media videos)
Lady red is pretty mild when compared to stuff available in the doujin market. Japanese sexual humor has always been very weird. Just look up the Rance series

Re: What is the minimum age you would recommend Dragon Ball for?
Preschoolers. Doraemon was primarily serialized in Shogakukan's First Grader Magazine, Second Grader Magazine, Third Grader Magazine, Fourth Grader Magazine, Fifth Grader Magazine and Sixth Grader Magazine. It was absolutely aimed at elementary schoolers. My mistake on Doraemon Again this isn't tru...

Re: What is the minimum age you would recommend Dragon Ball for?
It really isn't. This isn't even a little bit true. The target demo is elementary school boys. What are you taking about Jumps target audience is 12-18 years old. Dragon ball is popular among elementary school boys because it's a cultural phenomenon in Japan. Again this isn't true. The target audie...

Re: What is the minimum age you would recommend Dragon Ball for?
It’s rated PG for the most part but sometimes it’s definitely more like PG-13 or TV14 It really isn't. Jump manga is mostly meant for middle school and high school aged boys so in that case it’s mostly meant for 10 to 18 year olds This isn't even a little bit true. The target demo is elementary sch...

Re: Are the Saiyans Massively faster than light by the time of Super?
It's very funny that you guys are trying to apply real world physics on a franchise which literally started off as a over the top comedy manga

Re: Any influence of Fist of the North Star on Dragon Ball's original production?
To help further clarify: Fist of the North Star was absolutely, 100% considered Shonen in its original run. And it was hardly unique in this regard. Shonen as a demographic in manga and anime was overall a great, GREAT deal more risque and artistically diversified from the late 1960s up through to ...

Re: Are these four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?
Bad is bad and there's no issue just stating that it's bad. We don't need to compare it to other franchises or give it excuses like "it was the 1980s!" Because it does not have feelings. Meanwhile, this shit perpetuates harmful shit about women. Fans will cry about the idea that fucking G...

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?
. And as I mentioned earlier, they don’t seem to have much interest in making movies based on IP’s that they don’t fully own. Watch them acquire Toei in 2024 They are already trying to attract anime fans. First they made a whole anime bait star wars and now they are also streaming a new anime calle...

Disney should stay away from dragon ball and anime in general.

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?
You do this just about any time you paint yourself into a corner arguing. "The soul of Dragon Ball" is not a material thing that any individual gets to personally decide the definition or significance of. The Dragon Ball manga and Dragon Ball anime have existed for decades and they will n...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims
Unless there's some big hoax or lie about what the special entails, or we've somehow misunderstood that everyone accidentally left out the part where suddenly he takes back every shitty thing he said, then saying it is still wrong. If anything, what's disingenuous is saying anyone who takes issue w...

Re: At its core, why is Dragon Ball so loved?
How is this point important? There are many great animes which were released during the 2000s.
