"I love Dragon Quest!"

"I love Jack Johnson!"

Toriyama Rape. No Laughing Matter.

i don't understand your post at all

who's jack johnson and what relation do they have to toriyama

[Alpha Six]

i think it has to do with the fact lazer beams out of your hand are easily recognizable as a fantasy whilist guns are not.

but

but tien literally got his arm physically PUNCHED off in the first few episodes of DBZ

im sure if Brazilian comics became awesome overnight it would be referred to worldwide as *comiçao or something (though i think you just use the cognate word "comic" or something)

*História em quadrinhos (or if you want a more specific term, 'gibi')

But I agree with you. It's just a fast way to refer to something. I understand Rokkan's point, though. The way people talk about anime here makes me want to shoot myself.

and the red ribon used weapons and a running gag was being shot and get bullet holes in your body without being killed and several characters are featured using weapons and firing them. just like dr slump.

but you know, its the whole "context" that makes it look not so bad.

wich brings the topic that you could see people using weapons and get their arms punched off, but you couldn't see goku showing his child penis when naked.

sex > violence.

suddenly i want to draw candy candy using a submachine gun.

A reference to this. And no matter how old Toriyama get's he still kicks everyone's ass at art. T'was a pun.
