lolwut. Japanese anime almost always reinforces traditional Japanese social and cultural norms. It's practically a teaching tool for kids there on how to behave in Japanese society.

- augusto-moura 3y agoAnime is just a medium, not a genre. There are good and bad anime, just like there are good and bad movies, books, and TV shows. I don't think it's fair to judge an entire medium based on a few bad examples. I'm not a huge anime fan, but I've seen some good ones.

- anthk 3y agoNo. Even Evangelion it's a satire on the Japanese nerd obsessed with making women sexual objects. On Dragon Ball Vegeta (an obvious depiction of the old fart Japanese nationalist, Saiyans are like a samurais/ronin in space, same armor as the samurais et all) always loses against the open-minded and naive "ninja mountain-born singleton hick" Goku from Osaka/Kansai, which is the "progressive", "cheerful/open minded" and careless city/region from Japan. Technology and modernisation from the US saved Japan and that's symbolized by Bulma.
