You don't need to get so personal with me. I was expressing an opinion based on what I've noticed around me + some logical deductions. Which I manifested through the phrasing "I believe". Never said there's 0 young people who'd watch DB, just that I BELIEVE it might not be so attractive to newer generations.ABED wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 6:59 amI don't feel that's actually the case at all. No offense, but your post comes off like someone who doesn't remember what it was like to be a kid. It seems to pass your notice that kids enjoy older stuff as well as newer stuff. Did you not watch older movies or cartoons as a kid?Nagyzöld wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 5:42 am Are the younger generations still so much into Dragon Ball though? Or more like our generations trying to shove it down their throats? I believe there are few people who would genuinely enjoy Dragon Ball in these days because: a. It's simply too long and dragged, newer animes are shorter and on point so it's hard to have the attention span to sit through all hundreds of episodes of Dragon Ball. B. The 90's graphics. I believe that youngsters might go for DBS or at most the video games, else we must accept that they have their own anime and stop beating a dead horse.
As for censorship, there's the offensive and then there's the inappropriate. Offensive shit like Roshi sexual assaulting, sure, I wouldn't mind being fixed. As for violence, blood and sexual jokes, just put a PG rating on it and leave it to the parents. Why mutilate a show so much to make it suitable for pre-schoolers when it's not meant for them to begin with? Besides, kids will pirate the uncensored versions anyway. I remember how curious I was to sneak to the TV at nights when I was little, and watch PG 16 anime, because, wow they show Marlene Angel's boobs, there are boobs in cartoons!
I don't think length is a big deterent, especially in the age of streaming where you can start from the very beginning. And I highly doubt One Piece could've gotten to 1000+ episodes and counting if it didn't pick up younger fans throughout the years.
Still, we're meant to confront ideas here, not people. Because in the end, you don't know shit about me.
