The Dragon Ball Manga thread is actually discussing the dragon ball manga? Strange times are among us indeed. Before the "manga" does anything though Toriyama should probably learn to draw more faces.

It's weird how I never have an issue telling the faces apart. Each character's hair is also so unique (even the Saiyans in Super form) that you'll never have problems telling them apart.

Even the damn Namekians can be told apart.

@DGOC And globally means Japan + everywhere else, which is much more important than just focusing on Japan alone.

Not for Japan themselves, though, considering how Xenophonic most of their older generations tend to be.....

I would not call Japan xenophobic so much as I would call it the most homogenous place on Earth. (As said by the apologists of their behavior) But you know, money does not really care how Japanese you are and neither does quality for that matter. (As in, there is no acceptable apology for TOEI's crap other than them doing a better job with Dragon Ball, until they do people will grumble)

I haven't read Dragon Ball's manga, but I was under the impression that the anime followed faithful except for a few details and filler. While the Sailor Moon manga and anime hardly even have they same tone.

Japanese cultural homogenity stems probably more from its geographic position than the fact the fact that ethnic minorities are less than 1 %. Look at my country: We are near the level of Japan when it comes to number of ethnic minorities, yet we're far more diverse culture as far as foreign influences are concerned (Polish is the kitchen sink of Slavic languages, we take foreign words but never try to purge them and replace with native equivalents)

A while ago someone posted that thing where the narrator made you pumped for Gohan vs Cell. Here's one where he makes me sad.

I actually didn't know that Goku fired that many Kamehamehas.

Interesting stuff.

As for the Yamacha thing...well, it wasn't a tournament, so they couldn't just eliminate him could they.

Only 97? I feel like it would have been more but that is an interesting statistic.
