i'm not saying anything bad to those who watch anime. i'm just saying this so that you know...

ok, since i live in japan, many people ask me whether i watch anime or not

the answer is NO

why? it's because anime in japan are for elementary kids. the last time i watched anime was when i was in 2nd grade. if you watch anime here, its like watching power rangers... seriously. even my 3rd grade brother doesn't watch it anymore.

I knew a Japanese foreign exchange student who loves anime and said a lot of people her age watches anime. My Japanese mixed friend loves to read mangas. ermm.gif That was in high school, not elementary school. Maybe different people have different preferences?

All mangas started out PG13. Even Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh were originally PG13. Maybe you haven't opened your eyes enough or been to any anime store to realize there's a lot more out there than baby shows. Check out: www.animetempy.com.

Cowboy Bebop
Wolf's Rain
Full Metal Alchemist
Inuyasha
Rurouni Kenshin
Yu Yu Hakusho (unedited)

Those are not meant for little kids. And that's just a tiny tiny tiny fraction of mature animes.

maybe its different areas? some animes arent appropriate for 6,7, or 8 year olds... or maybe this is why japanese guys are said to be perverted?

well yeah i knoe how you feel about that.. cuz isn't Japan lyk the main thing for anime.. and if you're around it so much.. you don't get into it that much.. lyk i live near the beach and the beach is my most fav place.. but it's not lyk something that i would get really excited of.. and my cuzing kame from Reno and she's never been to the beach so much.. so she's gets so excited wen i say.. "let's go to the beach"

Final Thought:

"I guess if your around something for to0 long .. you get tired of it and lo0k for something new.. "

"And if you've never been around something that you think is kewl and you have the opportunity to do it.. you get all excited.."

Yah. I heard that Yu Yu Hakusho was actually pretty bad in the unedited version.

Some reasons why anime show in America is only because it's aimed for kids. stubborn.gif ..like the dubbed version of Tokyo Mew Mew..
