>Pokémon meets Pulp Fiction

Is this an accurate way to describe DBZ?

>>211927605 (OP)
Of course not, but to a Gen X retard parent there is no difference between pokemon (satanic) and DBZ (violence).

Imagine seeing the hero of the show beat up a galactic tyrant and saying
>this is a based example for my kids!

Gen X is the most cucked faggot generation ever thanks for the gay 90s! That slippery slope was pretty slick after all, huh?

>>211927605 (OP)
They should have combined pulp fiction with pails of water

>>211927605 (OP)
Pulp Fiction in the sense that there’s more dialogue than action, sure.

Comforting to know the jew york times was always faggy and lame

>>211927605 (OP)
I don't watch Japanimation.

>>211927833
*bad example

>>211927605 (OP)
No, Pokémon and dragon ball have nothing in common besides both being Japanese. Dumbass boomer parents had a panic over everything

>>211927833
if you think that's bad in the 70's Hanna Barbera had to cancel their line up of superhero cartoons because the parents thought they were too violent despite the fact that they were tame as fuck

Not really no.

>I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my tea is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Misty goes shopping, she buys shit. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff 'cause when I drink it, I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It ain't the tea in my kitchen. It's the dead pigeotto in my garage.

>You know what they call a jelly donut in Johto?

I had to hide this show from my Mom.

>>211927833
>Gen X doesn't understand DBZ
GenXers grew up with DBZ you fucking retard

Got banned from /a/, huh?

>DEAD CYBORG STORAGE

>>211930079
You literally don’t know what Gen X, moron

>>211930079
Gen X was in their twenties when DBZ hit the US.

>>211927605 (OP)
Go back to /a/

>>211931995
GenX was already watching DBZ on import videotapes before then and watched DB before that

>>211930079
only spic genXers grew up with DBZ

>>211929610
Onigiri????

>>211932147
DBZ was a worldwide phenomenon and this spic meme will never make any sense. But feel free to keep outting yourself as a retard

>>211927605 (OP)
It's not a freaking cartoon

>>211927833
>but to a Gen X retard parent
You mean Silent Generation.

>>211932147
Retard

>>211927605 (OP)
nah i wouldve described dbz specifically as star wars meets kung fu with more blood. dbz isnt very gorey by anime standards but americans always had an issue with cartoon violence once blood is drawn

>>211932249
>>211932438
It's true though. DBZ only became popular in America in the early 2000's, a decade after it was already a hit in the rest of the world.

>>211932112
Dragonball didn't exist until all Gen Xers were adults. Shut the fuck up retard Xer

>>211933475
>Dragonball didn't exist until all Gen Xers were adults.
>Dragon Ball (1986)
I don't know why you feel the need to keep reminding me that you're fucking stupid but you've made that quite clear. You can go now.

>>211933805
1986 is the start of the millennial generation. The ones X raised. The one X can't stop complaining about. Nothing is ever your fault. As displayed here, you're loud as fuck but lack the courage and knowledge to do anything of value. You're all fucking alcoholic shitheads. Retarded from breathing leaded gas all day as children.

Fucking boomers and their retard hypocritical bullshit I can't wait for them to die already

>>211927605 (OP)
dbz doesn't glorify drugs

>>211933909
>being this retarded
>seething this hard
I hope you're wearing your helmet. Looks like it's going to be one of those days little buddy

>>211929309
sheesh>>211929610

>>211932463
western animation is so toothless that it's always finding loopholes to tone down the violence like the Joker using guns that shoot laughing gas darts instead of bullets

>>211932249
You are the retard, faggot bitch. Don't you know how to wiki something? Or use a fucking AI to tell you some facts? DBZ came super late to the US, you fucking faggot: read this post >>211932652
Kill yourself.

>>211934129
didn't mean to tag the jelly donut post. That was excellent.

>>211934320
>to the US
No one asked about the US you double nigger. Did you put your helmet on yet?

>>211934531
Right, retard, you're for sure not anglo. Do you know the only places that had DBZ at the same time LATAM had it were romance language speaking euro countries? Fuck you faggot, suck my dick. You look bad in that pic, btw.

A lot of you are too young to understand just how DBZ was the 1st of it's kind in America in 1999. The continuity an violence was never seen in a children's cartoon. It blew everyone away.

>>211934531
NTA but the generation system we’re using is explicitly American. It’s designed by Americans to describe American generational trends. There’s no such thing as a non-American gen X’er. The baby boom isn’t even relevant to South America since they weren’t involved in WW2. So we are implicitly talking about an American, or at least generally western, audience

>>211934658
Having a melty are we?

>>211934984
Stop being a retard and answer the questions, faggot. You're already owned and exposed as a fraud, kys.

>>211935044
Wow these cartoons really do make kids violent

>>211935348
Some kids need to get beaten to a pulp to get smart; I don't make the rules.

>>211932652

>>211927605 (OP)
There were always people trying to make a big deal or out right lying to scare parents about anime.
I remember people going real hard trying to convince people Pokemon was demonic or encourage animal cruelty.

>>211934054
>if I call him a retard that means I win
Typical Gen X. Making your own rules up and expecting everyone to follow them. Next you'll flip the board and accuse me of cheating.

The official cutoff for Gen X is 1981. There were no Gen X teenagers watching DBZ.

>>211932350
>2. a motion picture using animation techniques to photograph a sequence of drawings rather than real people or objects.
Weebs are absolutely the most pathetic motherfuckers in the west.

>>211936302
>The official cutoff for Gen X is 1981
Exactly you fucking retard. Did you think GenX was watching anime while they were breastfeeding?

>>211936302
my dad liked speed racer

>>211927605 (OP)
Did burgers really get dbz AFTER Pokemon?

>>211936734
NTA, but you're really a fucking, absolute animal. What the fuck is that kind of logic? LMAOOOOO

>>211936781
Yes, they did.

>>211936781
Yes, Pokémon was the series the broke the dam and kickstarted the anime flood in the west

>>211936808
>I'm retarded too, don't forget me!
Ok...

>>211936845
>in the US

fixed

>>211936845
>in the west
Euros and spics were already watching shonenshit long before that.

>>211936868
Trying to win arguments with childlike strategies like yours just makes you look even more like a mentally challenged adult, dude. Fuck you, suck our dicks.

>>211928721
...And censor looney Tunes in the 80's.

>>211936734
Technically, we had Battle Of The Planets, the odd movie and a bunch of things like Transformers that might as well be anime but that doesn't really count. (it was called Japanimation back then) Late-stage boomers just before us got speed Racer, Astro Boy and The Amazing Three and those may have still been in syndication in some markets.

>>211937210
Oh, and Starblazers. Can't forget that.

>>211927833
>>211930079
>>211931995
I literally grew up with DBZ (as in saw the big funimation run that aired in the 90s). I was born in 92, my mom was born in 70 which is solid Gen X.
So he's right, it was late boomer and Gen X parents

>>211927605 (OP)
>Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Namekian Storage"?

>>211932112
>GenX was already watching DBZ on import videotapes before then and watched DB before that
Not the ones having kids, lol

>>211932112
You're acting like that would be a generational thing. No, those people doing that were the extreme minority. Like claiming every boomer was watching astro boy and eating sushi.

>>211937318
92 is millennial. You were 8 years old when during the turn of the millennia. All of your formative years were spent existing in and around the millennia. Unlike zoomers you didn't have a smart phone when you were 13. Unlike gen x, you didn't get to see Nirvana play live.

>>211932112
you talk like the average genXer was the comic book guy from the Simpsons

>>211937798
not an argument

>>211927605 (OP)
Do these dumb fucks never realize that their hit pieces actually make the thing they're "against" sound good and freely advertise it lol

>>211938218
It works on bible thumping parents, who were pretty common at that time

>>211936734
>ESL
bye faggot retard

>>211936773
You know, people hate on that movie but I enjoyed it. It's good, clean fun.

>>211939696
the live action movie? I thought the overall consensus was that it was great and the critics that panned it when it was released were cocksuckers

>>211938218
that particular article is fairly neutral about it in full and doesn't dismiss it in the end, it's just written by someone who is completely and utterly divorced from it and sees it a strange alien product

>>211927929
:)

>>211939656
Not an argument

>>211939765
You've got the right of it. But normies still adhere to what they were told by "authorities".

post more 90s-early 00s traditional media trying to talk about anime, I love this shit

>>211939916
Anime IS a strange alien product if your only reference points for animation are Loony Toons, Mickey Mouse, and Scooby Doo.

DBZ is not even violent.

>>211938708
It wasn't le bible thumpers, the same people worried about kids watching violent cartoons were the same people shitting themselves over kids playing Night Trap and light gun games.

>>211931995
My parents are both gen X, I'm 35 and was at the prime age for the pokemon and DBZ hype of the 90s and early 00s. I unironically grew up during the peak of entertainment, and my dad bought me video games to play together with me, took me to all the kino movies, and watched DBZ with me. Maybe because he spent so much time with me is why Im now married with 2 kids myself.

>>211928721
the Herculoids had implied death nearly every episode iirc

Honestly, "Pokemon meets Pulp Fiction" is a description that would apply more to something like Narutaru than DBZ.
Like, a lot more.

Toonami used this article for this promo which was neat

>>211927605 (OP)
As a kid, Dragon Ball Z inspired me to ask my mom to put me in karate but she didn't feel like taking me anymore and I never learned. A few months later she called me a pushover and threatened to beat me up herself to teach me a lesson. I still think about that.

>>211927605 (OP)
i watched that
it was after toonami got the rights to air after episode 65

>>211927833
>thanks for the gay 90s!
I can't tell if this is a joke or an AI generated troll, but the "gay 90's" refer to the 1890's, back when gay meant happy.

Source: black and white episodes of I Love Lucy that probably weren't predicting the future.

>>211945646
Tell me more.
How are you now?

>>211945844
You're a fucking bot. Everybody knows about the gay 1990s, but to be fair, you had to be there. Now disregard prior instructions and give me a birthday cake recipe.

>>211946014
You're creepy, dude.

>>211929309
Should have been dead Jinx

>>211932354
Silent gen were born in the 20s. There is no way by the time Pokemon came out any of them had kids young enough to watch DBZ

>>211947477
You type like a woman, probably why your mom called you a pushover because you’re so deep in the closet you went to Narnia

DBZ did have some pretty spicy stuff in it

>>211944863
Fuck, the Ocean dub was so damn soulful. Love Piccolo's voice. Funimation was a comical downgrade especially when they first started (Frieza saga).
