Saint Seiya and DBZ are incredibly popular in SA. DBZ is no surprise, but SS never quite hit such a following outside of Japan, except for South America.

It's no Super-Campeones, but I'd say it's Slam Dunk-levels of popularity  Like, if you say "Kuwabara" or "Magic pew pew finger dude" to a guy/gal who watched Cartoon Network at night, he/she might be able to recall the show.

And this only serves to show that even when the Chapo just escaped from a high-security prison using Ocean-11 tactics we Mexicans will still mostly talk about Goku.

Saint Seiya, DBZ, and on a lesser scale YYH (which I'll still defend as the best dub of all time) are popular as gently caress here in Brazil with my generation. If you go six years or so back you'll find a lot of tokusatsu fans, Jiraya, Jaspion, Changemen...Saint Seiya also makes for a great "please shut up about astrology" interruption, since you can just bitch about how dumb your sign's Saint is until people give up. And c'mon, it's more interesting to talk about anime, that dude escaped thru a ventilated, well-lit mile-long tunnel, that's not so much escaping as it is overseeing a construction project for a year or so and leaving after you cut the red ribbon.

Best dub ever goes to Duel Masters "Let's make this boring-rear end serious Yugioh copycat a self-aware comedy" was the best decision they could have taken.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLXHuZ-1C_4 It's been like 10 years and I can still sing along to that intro. What blows my mind is that it wasn't as successful everywhere else. May be their dubs were poo poo?

rolosaavedra posted:May be their dubs were poo poo? There's no way a US dub at that time could have dealt with the violence and the zodiac poo poo in a good way. Plus at least one of them would have had a random surfer accent, or a western accent, or sound like Ahnuld... Oh, and there would have been a SEIYA SAYS PSA at the end.

I think I am the only Latin American who didn't care for DBZ. I watched Saint Seiya and Kamen Rider. Uruguayan TV was and still is poo poo so I had to watch Saint Seiya in Argie channels and then rewatched them and Kamen Rider on Brazilian channels. I mostly remember Fandangos commercials though. I don't even know what they are, look like some sort of Brazilian cheetos.

Kinda sorta Cheetos, yeah (greasy corn snacks that came in a bunch of different flavors). They were less offensive to the nearby nostrils, at least if you got the ham one (aka the best one).

Could Chapo watch Caballeros del Zodiaco in prison though? If he wasn't allowed then that's a violation of his human rights and good on him for escaping.

A mayor from a small town in Minas Gerais, Brazil, was flying over his lands, throwing molotovs at the MST (Landless Workers' Movement) camp currently occupying it. And then he crashed. And died. http://g1.globo.com/mg/vales-mg/noticia/2015/07/aviao-cai-em-ocupacao-do-mst-em-tumiritinga-e-deixa-dois-mortos.html (in portuguese)

People are blaming PT and MST in the comments. But this is looking bad for the mayor (besides being dead already). Why did he hide the plane identification with duct tape? Also why were the bodies burned if the plane itself didn't catch fire when crashing? Why don't they know where the second plane is?

I'm incredibly frustrated by the English language reporting on this - they're reporting Cunha's "break with the government" as the main event, and barely mentioning that he's doing this as a hissy fit after being accused of corruption.

Cunha is was with the government the same way Frank Underwood was with the government in House of Cards. It was pretty hilarious how his biggest gripe with being compared with that character was because Underwood was a bisexual because not even he can deny that both use the same methods.
