My meme now. \o/

Lol sure

I have never watched Dragon Ball z but i fancy having a look.

If you're gona do it I suggest Dragon Ball Kai instead which is DBZ re-edited without the fillers, so not immensely long if you mind it. Also a more "updated" and shorter anime with similar theme is One Punch Man, in case you didn't know, whose protagonist is called Saitama, mind you

If you have even less time and still wanna check DBZ, these two movies are considerably of good quality (watch in this order):
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods
Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F

Or if you at all don't mind older and longer animes like DBZ, I'd also suggest Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac up to the episode 73. Very good spiritual allegories on it.

Thank you for explaining some more things about Japan.

Many Japanese anime have deep spiritual allegories embedded into them and another thing to note is that the main character (if not most of the characters anyways) have a very strong, Scorpio-like willpower. The drive to succeed and to defend their personal code that trumps everything else, even tiredness, pain and seemingly impossible odds. This is a completely alien feeling in the West for most people, as is the meaning of comradeship.

Yes many are the 'never give up' type, i love that.

This even goes for some anti heroes also. What do you think of anti-hero protagonists? They do stuff for the greater good through bad means. A hero lacking hero qualities.

Anti-hero means that it's not always through LOVVVVE that you can change a situation or obtain something like the xtians want you to belive but sometime you need harsher ways.

Just like us here, we have done Black magic and we can do it when it's needed, sometime we need those way for greater things.

I'm a bit late but adding to what Sinistra said,

Anime does tend to have a lot of NS ideals. Which you have to work together to get far and those that do will overcome any powerful single foe. For example:

*SPOILER ALERT to dragon ball super


The tournament of power arc the only way to beat someone stronger was either fight together or the fact that they were fighting for their right to live and not just their lives but the lives of their friends and family made them surpass those stronger than them. Even a Vegeta which is mostly about singularity and being the strongest swallowed his huge pride to give his last bit of energy to Goku so he can recover from a fight against an incredibly strong opponent.

This actually came out the first of this year and I think it does an amazing job of telling the difference between Guts and Griffith:

It's interesting how almost everyone seems to be undermining their own race in this topic

Most likely this is because people were around their own race the most for obvious reasons, and as such experienced all the shortcomings of people nowadays first-hand. While I dont think badly of my White race, I do think very badly of the overall people in my country. I think there are so many worthless garbage idiots here that it's insane. But this is just because I have been around them all my life and experienced firsthand how shitty most of them are.

I'm 100% sure that if I had grown up in a different country, I would be thinking only good things about it instead because I would've never actually been there. In fact one of my friends who visited here said they liked it a lot, including some of the things I just despise, lol. Personal perception and bad past experiences can influence people's view on things a lot.

It looks like a lot of our life goals are lining up. Im currently working to land myself in a position where I can learn more about making games and tell our ancient culture. Im hoping to create a game that is similar to Magica2 but with runes in it. So everything ''magic'' related you learn in the game is going to be transferable to real life.

When it becomes safe for our identities to come out we should def do a collab project.

It’s true, so many people wanna come live in Italy and so many wanna get the fuck out of this system lol. Geographically it’s beautiful but the state is shit. But most of the time the people moving in are some lefties ecc Because in italy your salary is a joke.
