I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

People may laugh at Yamcha. People may mock Yamcha. People may say he has the worst win/loss ratios this side of Chaozu...But you know what? At least he still has pussy.
A Cat is fine too.
(but seriously in hindsight, maybe Oolong AND Puar should have dropped out of shapeshifting School. Oolong can turn into anything but only for five minutes, and Puar has no time limit, but can only go into his girl form. Has the makings for the wackiest harem anime ever.)

Wonder what Yamcha and Puar do on those lonely nights... ;D

A little Barry White, some jello shots, Yamcha shows off his bottlecap collection, Puar transforms into something more comfortable, and whatever happens, happens.
Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.

...How the hell would you classify that kind of sexuality? Does it make one or both of them gay? Does it make Puar trans? Roshi doesn't seem to mind, that's for sure.
Wait, are we even sure that Puar IS a male character? Always acted so feminine, I just kind of assumed. But you know what they say about assuming. It makes an ass out of you and ming.
So maybe Puar is gay? They always did have a thing for Yamcha...

This feels like incest in a way... It also triggers me that Piccolo is able to have sex...

The only time I'll accept this is if Piccolo has a visible penis... WHat? I HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC TOLERANCE!

Oh I agree. I'm the same way about Fem Freeza. Visible breasts or you may as well leave the "F" out of Female.
