It's interesting to me to watch Dragon Ball Z as an adult and to feel the intended weight of characters dying. As a little kid, when they would send characters "to the next dimension" only for them to come back again later, I had no idea that these people were dying and their loved ones thought they may never see them again.

Also I thought that Krillin and Gohan were on the same level since Krillin is so short he seemed like a child to me. Didn't consider he was looking after his best friend's son.

You swapped the words "from" and "to."
"The network plans to boost its programming time devoted to Japanese animation to three hours from two."

It's fairly awkwardly worded regardless though.

damn.

here we used to have an article like this back in '92/93 but with Saint Seiya instead of DBZ, and then because of it most of anime suddenly stopped airing for a year until the heat goes down.
but to be fair, Saint Seiya was very violent and the evil master mastermind was The Pope so someone must be offended.

At least we're not in multiple active wars at once now? At least for a good portion of the 2010s. LGBT rights got a good boost too.

Last week, Dragon Ball Z ranked as the fifth-most-requested topic on the Lycos search site, behind singer Britney Spears and the Pokemon cartoon, but ahead of the World Wrestling Federation and Pamela Anderson.

Everything about that sentence oozes 1990s.

microsoft word has had that capability since at least like word 98 or whatever version was available in that year

whats weird is how it accounts for their hair/posture/body shape though. Normally its just a square where you insert the webp file. Dunno how theyd do that in a regular word processor without fiddling around with it a bunch

Given that newspapers have a lot of pictures, they may not actually use a word processor for the actual newspaper layout.

The 90's were so weird. Parents seemed to think everything was terrible for their kids, and any entertainment medium seemed to become some big talking point.

When the SNES dropped it was controversial enough to make the news for instance.
