*História em quadrinhos (or if you want a more specific term, 'gibi')

But I agree with you. It's just a fast way to refer to something. I understand Rokkan's point, though. The way people talk about anime here makes me want to shoot myself.

and the red ribon used weapons and a running gag was being shot and get bullet holes in your body without being killed and several characters are featured using weapons and firing them. just like dr slump.

but you know, its the whole "context" that makes it look not so bad.

wich brings the topic that you could see people using weapons and get their arms punched off, but you couldn't see goku showing his child penis when naked.

sex > violence.

suddenly i want to draw candy candy using a submachine gun.

A reference to this. And no matter how old Toriyama get's he still kicks everyone's ass at art. T'was a pun.
