I've been watching [REDACTED] an episode a week with a friend along with the 1999 HxH and it's been fun to compare them. I liked the structure on these episodes, jumping in on a specific arc I think worked really well for DB. The kind of "let's just go hogwild on the spoilers" thing was a fun alternative approach.

2024-01-20 20:17:43 +0000 UTCI don't know if this has come up in a future recording session yet, but to clarify the thing about the intended age range for shonen, pretty much all definitions will say that the target age range goes up 18 and the lower range is in the pre-teens 10 - 12. I think it's worth nothing that in Japan shonen does not refer to what we in the Americas and Europe would consider "Saturday morning cartoons" despite often getting placed onto Saturday morning programing blocks when they have been imported to those markets. The japanese equivalent to that type of programing block intended for elementary school aged children is on Sundays and includes stuff like super sentai (the original source material for power ramgers), kamen rider, and precure. All of which will usually be way less violent and have less mature subject matter than even dragon ball, which features pretty visceral dismemberment later on. Shonen is much closer YA and early dragon ball just happens to be a very light hearted example. Like dragon ball was printed in the same magazine at the same time as fist of the north star and jojo's bizarre adventure, two manga primary about people exploding into viscera.
