>>101787544Mexico, i can explain. You see, anime really hit it big in the 90s. Mostly because children only had access to two channels playing cartoons, and by the time Dragon Ball began showing up in national TV, most of the programming consisted of He-Man reruns, Tiny Toons/Animaniacs, Disney, Ren & Stimpy and the Simpsons.
Anime made it big, and afternoons/evenings consisted of Televisa's second largest channel playing Dragon Ball, Ranma 1/2, Macross, GS Mikami, Pokemon, Captain Tsubasa, Digimon and some other filler anime between 5 to 8 pm; while its competitor had Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya, Rayearth, Escaflowne, Slayers and that Dragon Quest anime.
Most 30-somethings in here grew up watching that, and shit's so extreme that some birth certificate offices have Goku and other anime-ish names blacklisted.
