I love how conceptual conglomerate helps you understand conceptual conglomerate. It’s like the best advice for people who keep asking “should I buy conceptual conglomerate? What does it do?” is to tell them, “buy conceptual conglomerate”.

You guys missed the Dragon Ball Z, Pokémon, Digimon, Conan Detective craze on TV, Comics, backpacks, t-shirts, Gameboy cartridges, underwear, bedsheets, notebooks.
You guys would never believe how popular DBZ was

I watched dbz a little as a kid but I never got into the rabbit hole lol. Pokemon and dbz before school is how far i went up until highschool. When covid hit, i watched like 8 animes. Nothing to do but homework so videogames and anime hit.

I thought it was until I was like 15 then that changes.
Rdcworld1 crew is from my city so they helped change my view on anime as well.

I thought that notion has already mostly dwindled off, at least from Gen z lol. But I guess also varies by country a lot
It still is, at least DBS
Once the anime continues it’ll catch onto the hype train once again im sure

In America its even by city. One city I lived in clowned anime and the next loved it. The people played the same sports, had similar fashion sense, etc. But where they drew the line was anime lol.
A 30 minute drive can change a lot.

Won’t say the country in public but Western European country, capital city and it’s extremely popular too, I was in an IT class and pretty much everyone watched it lol. But of course it’s not representative because after all it’s IT lmao. But definitely extremely popular, everyone generation z or around that range at least knows what it is and some basic things about it

Back in the late 90’s, early 2000s, before people had internet, Dragon Ball changed the game. It’s the one thing young adults and children shared. It was on many channels, episodes running morning, noon and evening, different arcs. There were the video games on gameboy and playstation, the comics at the supermarket next to the bubble gum and candy at check outs. Action figures.
Dragon ball merch everywhere, from school supplies with Dragon ball pencils, pencil cases, notebook, backpacks, stickers.
If you wake up early you can watch 1 episode before the school bus. Even at school they’d put Dragon Ball at noon right after lunch, get your yogurt and spoon then go sit in front of the TV and be quiet. If the children misbehaved, no DBZ at lunch. Then you go home after school and your mom would let you watch 1-2 episode then at the end of the end song, homework and dinner.
Drawing time, everyone would draw DBZ characters. Then the next gen gameboys and playstations you could play DBZ with your friends.
It was controversial too, many channels censored it, parents didn’t like that “violent japanese cartoon” limit degenerate. The whole idea of the cartoon is punching people all day, make them bleed and put your feet on their face on the ground.
Again, before the internet, there wasn’t that much choice, most cartoons were like scooby doo or some puzzles, mystery, science/educational, team work cartoons with good values.
Dragon Ball was about punching people to death all episodes, every episode, all year round.
You had different arcs of the same cartoon at different time with usually Dragon Ball > Dragon Ball Z part 1 > Dragon Ball Z part 2 > Dragon Ball GT. Then 1 month of break and back to Dragon Ball episode 1 for years after years.
Plus you also had the occasional Japanese pervy stuff like watching women shower and looking under their skirt. Controversial stuff.
If internet was a thing back then, it probably wouldn’t have been as popular, but there was nothing else like it. It was not one anime or one japanese cartoon, it was Dragon Ball Z, the ultimate show.
Everybody knew every episode by heart, every dialogue and still watched because their was not much else like it available.

Dbs kinda mid though. The Broly movie was top tier and the fan made manga dragon ball kakumei (amazing art style) are the only things I turned in for. Besides whenever goku went into ultra instinct in the tournament of power.

I agree. I liked the broly movie, black arc and ToP, the rest was meh.
But I do have hopes of DBS season 2 being cool, as they should have enough time for proper animation and there have been some hype moments in the manga

Key to babel is very fast acting. After years of degeneracy, I needed this, as many language brain areas are not stated to be involved in neurogensis. Yet here we are, having the impossible become possible.
Reading comprehension and new phrase formation here we come!
Many times I have higher level thinking patterns that I simply cannot express through my vocabulary. But not for long.
