My family, well, they think all anime is for children so that's about it. :|

I don't really care if it's for children as long as I'm enjoying watching it it's all that matters to me. I'd rather anime/series any day over shitty soap operas which have always the same boring story just.

Not to be biased but Spain's soap operas (they're called "novelas") are better than Portuguese and Brazillian, imo. They're just more tolerable to watch.
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:

Almost anything is better than that.

Hey, would you mind if I use this as my signature?


Oh not at all, go right ahead!

This is also why I tend to avoid watching Portuguese television because there's nothing good worth watching. Unless I were to pay for those ZON/MEO packs but even then I'd prefer the Spanish Digital+ over Portuguese.

Back in the 90's the third channel "SIC" used to broadcast Dragon Ball + Dragon Ball Z (series/films) during the afternoons but ever since year 2000-ish it's all gone premium.

One time my parents and I were on holiday in Germany and we were staying in one of those holiday homes. I was upstairs doing something (Think it was unpacking my bag) when my mother called me and said that Yu Gi Oh was on TV. So I was rushing downstairs and what was on? Dragonball Z xD

One time I was watching DB while my mom was cooking in the kitchen behind me and she asked, "Why is everyone on this show obsessed with panties?"
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Well my story is a little similar, When I was working on the Error's thread on this site I asked my mom to bring me 1 of the dragon-boxes and she came back with a Yu-Gi-Oh! DVD I had in my room :P
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128
