Every time he appears.
Appears where? In the Anime he has lips exactly like he has in the Manga.
We're talking about the English manga released by Viz.

It doesn't help that they did a shitty "editing" job.

I know a few James Marsters fans who became fans of Dragonball through the movie. So yeah, the answer is "some, but not much."
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the way they edited Popo's lips.

They had to be edited, and I don't see how else they could have done it. How would you have edited them, Pain? If you had to, to protect from lawsuits and such?

Why is this getting so off-topic?

ON TOPIC- Well, I don't really think it did. I know somebody who watched the movie who wasn't a DB fan and they said, "So that's what Dragon Ball is like? It is awful!" :cry:

No...the mouth just looks badly edited. It's like someone tried to remove his lips with an eraser, but left a few unattractive lines where his mouth used to be.

See? Look at his "lips". They just look.....ARRRGHH!!! It's like Popo's better off unedited, no matter what the people say about his damned mouth.

NOTE: I think we should get back on topic, before EX crashes this debate.

This is what I was afraid of. Judging the series by the movie.

You cant be sued for using racist images. It could be some bad publicity. But thats about it.

In an era where Dragonball was Viz's Naruto they couldn't afford bad publicity.
