ANIME SOMETIMES CONTAINS VIOLENCE, AND THUS IT IS AT FAULT IF YOUR CHILDREN SMITE SOMEONE. WE MUST ELIMINATE ALL THINGS THAT ALLUDE TO VIOLENCE, BECAUSE CORRELATION IS CAUSATION AND I AM JACK THOMPSON. ALSO, MARIO CAUSES CANCER.

Heh heh. I said smite. Heh heh.

People have a ton of misconceptions about anime.

I agree that it is a medium, and not a genre. This is why I'm so sick of people thinking they can bash anime altogether. Saying "I hate anime!" is like saying "I hate movies!" but that's unrelated to this topic.

The fact of the matter is that a lot of anime/manga is made for kids. A lot of anime fans like to deny this. They think that Naruto, One Piece, Bleach and the like were made for teenagers. In reality they are made for little boys. (although, since I love One Piece so much and am way out of the demographic it's aimed towards I believe that these are oftentimes made to be enjoyed by all.)

No matter how much fanservice, blood, and cussing there are in these Shounen series, they are still aimed towards kids.

If the shows above are indeed supposed to be for little boys, then please explain why shows like Barney, Sesame Street, Wishbone, Clifford, and, heck, even some of the other Saturday Morning Cartoons meant for little kids have absolutely nothing of this nature in them?!

Because the Japanese are more lenient with what their little boys can watch.

Those are shows made for the young children demographic. Your 8-14 demographic (still kids; this is the demographic the poster was referring to) will not be watching Barney, I guarantee it. They will be watching shows like Dragonball Z (or whatever equivalent airs these days).

A lot of anime has discreet sexual content and references and sust about all of it features extra busty women. Its all coming from the background of the creators though. Geeky men.
