too japanese?? i hope you know that anime originated in japan, therefore it cant be "too japanese" if anything, alot of anime is too american. i hope you arent saying the Dragonball series had a better storyline than all other anime. Cowboy Bebop, Rurouni Kenshin, and .hack//sign all have better stories than Dragonball. F*ck how well they sold. most of the people i know that bought all the DBZ shit are pre-pubescent schoolboys.
