25 is an improvement from previous suggestions, I guess.

all 25 shows me is a screencap of a google search page.

None of it means too much to me, so I'm going for no pic.

I'm fine with leaving this without a pic.

Yeah, if neither Google search suggestions nor 3 panels plus a caption demonstrate this, I'm not sure what does.

Yeah, "no pic" is the best option.

Also, none of the subpages except comic books appear to have page images; should we leave them all imageless?

I'm half tempted to try to find an ad for the "Yamcha Death Pose Statue" for and use it as the basis for a picture on the Anime subpage. Really, this is a thing you can buy.

I'd prefer an ad with English text.

That said, here's a (not particularly good) trial run on the Yamcha idea; basically I just took a screenshot of an Amazon page for the statue. I don't think it quite works (and it probably needs the original shot of his death from the anime for context), but now I feel less bad about making the effort.

For only $60, you can give the gift of making sure Yamcha can't live down his death.

I like the concept. I think you should keep working on it.

Agreed; the illegibility of the text is the only downside for me.

I also considered that, but then realized that the important thing is that's clearly an ad. Not being able to read the whole ad doesn't affect that much, for me personally.

I like the idea, but maybe a collage of that would illustrate it better.

[up][up] A collage isn't so bad to do. You could additionally include some of

Do you think it'd be okay to include more homages and this pie?

The Yamcha idea is solid, but I'll wait for someone to put together a collage. I do think it should go on the main page, however. For the comic subpage I still think the current should be pulled for JAFAAC reasons.

Also, why not use it on the main page instead of the anime subpage?
