An old The Wall Street Journal article from December 3, 1999 describing Dragon Ball Z as "a sort of Pokémon meets 'Pulp Fiction'"

Kids Are Glued to a Violent Japanese Cartoon Show Dragon Ball Z' Is Bringing households on Sept. 30, the largest number in the Impalement, Strangulation eted by children's advertisers-leapt 95% in the network's show's ratings among six- most cov- To the After-School Crowd fourth quarter through Nov. 30 from a year ear- lier. Nearly one million kids in that age group tuned in to watch the show Oct. 1, another record for the network. Advertisers are lining up, too, including Hasbro Inc. and Mattel Inc. Even the U.S. Navy is running macho recruitment ads at the end of the show. By SALLY BEATTY Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL As many a young child al- ready knows, "Dragon Ball Z," a violent animated series im- ported from Japan, is a huge car- toon hit. A sort of Pokemon meets "Pulp Fiction," the show is much darker than the average kiddie cartoon. Every weekday afternoon on Time Warner Inc.'s Cartoon Network, characters age, die and get vapor- ized-suffering far worse fates than Wile E. Coyote ever did. Brutality is a staple. In one re- cent episode, beads of sweat form on the brow of a character named Vegeta as he is nearly strangled to death by an evil foe named Frieza. In another, Frieza uses the horns on his head to impale a good guy named Krillin through the chest. Mesmerized, kids are tuning in to the Cartoon Network in record numbers. "Dragon Ball Z" at- tracted an audience of 1.7 million "Dragon Ball Z" is also crackling on the Web. On the Cartoon Network's Internet site, it generates among the most inquiries of any of its shows. Last week, "Dragon Ball Z" ranked as the fifth-most-requested topic on the Lycos search site, behind singer Britney Spears and the Poke- mon cartoon, but ahead of the World Wrestling Federation and Pamela An- derson. Based on the success of "Dragon Ball Z," the network plans to boost its programming time devoted to Japan- ese animation to three hours from two. Goku, left, is a hero in 'Dragon Ball 2.' On the Cartoon Network show, he battles the menacing Frieza. adding two new shows next year. "Gundam" is a tale of bad guys from outer space, and "Tenchi Meyo!" is the story of a lady's man caught up in an interstellar war. The Cartoon Network says it hasn't had com- plaints from parents or advertisers about the show's violent content. In fact, the U.S. distributor and licensing agent of "Dragon Ball Z," Funima- tion Productions Inc., says the show is toned down for U.S. sensibilities-blood is often edited out and frames are erased to soften the blows in certain battle scenes. The Cartoon Network also runs "anger man- agement" spots that appear during "Dragon Ball Z" and other shows. "There's nothing wrong with being angry," counsels a bubble-headed host in a space suit. "It's all in how you deal with it. Anger can be a motivational tool." The network says there is no connection between the spot and the show's content. Betty Cohen, president for the Cartoon Network, says "Dragon Ball Z" is no worse than other popular Japanese programs like "The Power Rangers" or "Digimon," a show about mechanized monsters currently air- ing on News Corp.'s Fox Kids. "People are attracted to action and peo- ple in battles with certain forces and unusual characters, but it's not about real-life human stuff," says Ms. Co- hen.
