I grew up in a pretty strict household.  My dad was the disciplinarian 
I grew up in a pretty similar one too. Was your dad so strict that he got transformed into a robot like in the movie Robot Dad Strikes Back?
I am not familiar with Robot Dad Strikes Back.  Is that a cartoon?
It's a Japanese movie in the movie series "Crayon Shin-Chan".
I used to watch Anime a bit when I was younger.  I remember watching Ghost in the Shell and Akira
I've watched quite a bit of anime myself. I really love the colorful graphics and all the vibrant characters that are typically found in anime. 
The genre does have quite a following all across the world.  I had a lot of friends who were really into Dragonball Z
I was into DragonballZ too! Really loved Dragonball, the show that followed Goku and his band of cohorts when they were but young lads.
I recall that they made a live action movie in 2009.  It did not rate very highly with fans or critics.  
Yeah, I didn't go and see it because the reviews were so poor. My favorite character was Vegeta because he was just so vain, proud, and overall awesome. Definitely the strongest of the Z fighters.
