Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

You know I sometimes wonder, if Star Wars never existed, if I would be roughly the same person I am today or not.
...I KNOW with absolute certainty I absolutely would not be the person I am today without seeing DBZ in my formative years. I cannot imagine a version of me lifting heavy in the gym to the point of sheer exhaustion without Vegeta quotes to motivate me. I don't know how else I would have gotten into my dumb fighting game community hobby and gotten obsessed with getting stronger and training for tournaments without having Goku and the Zfighters as goals. Its wild cause I know how shockingly not unique that story and experience actually is.
Toriyama is probably more responsible than any other person in the last century by a country mile for exporting anime and by extension Japanese culture to the world. 68 is still to young but by Kame what an unbelievable legacy to leave behind.
