Reminds me of the 90’s. When anime was becoming more available in the west. Titles like Ghost in the Shell, Akira and La Blue Girl. Everyone here just figured they were cartoons and cartoon were for kids. So kids got to watch it…
Now it’s like they see poker, so it must be gambling. Doesn’t matter it’s not the case at all.
Wife thought the same thing about anime when I met her, now it’s almost all she’ll watch. She’s had to get used to some of the…cultural differences…that Anime includes, but she’s so used to it now that it barely registers any more.
ETA: this is mostly a dig at the depictions of teenagers in Neon Genesis specifically, and especially the unhealthy relationships between adults and children in that show
The national government in Japan is a pile geriatrics who don’t want to do anything. Pretty much every prefecture(think state or provenance) raised the age of consent to 18 a long time ago.
I remember politely telling the guy at my local Family Video that “Watership Down” should probably be removed from the kid’s section. He scoffed at me and just gave me a “yeah… mkay.”
A few weeks later, I noticed it was gone. I commented on it to a different guy this time and he said “yeeeeah, the boss’ sister brought it home for her kids. It’s gone now. Like… actually gone.”
Childhood trauma could have been avoided with that one.
I saw la blue girl when I was 18 and it traumatized me. That shit is fucked up. I thought it was anime bc my friend had a big collection and it was just there on the shelf.
It’s a weird hentai, but it’s overall pretty tame.
Bible Black is more intense. Then Urutsikodoji. Then some other fucked up anime that didn’t stick into my memory. La Blue Girl is barely a step above regular hentai in fucked-up-ness.

I want to gamble on Balatro.
This reminds me of 2010 when lootboxes and gacha games were okay because teaching children to gamble with Dad’s credit card was awesome.
15 years later and YouTube doesn’t even know what gambling is anymore, lol.
Don’t you dare remind me how long ago 2010 was
The Matrix is 25.5 years right now.
Jurassic Park came out 32 years ago…
You’re going to hell for this 🤣🤣🤣
I hope I am! I named my dog Lucifer 😈

Pedophilia? Oh, sorry, I meant Neon Genesis

Pretty sure 12 was legal in japan at the time.

GODDAMMIT JAPAN

I mean there’s some questionable views about WW2 and Nazi Germany for instance.
Just look at Stroheim from JoJo’s
It felt so weird going into the anime completely blind.
Okay, he’s German. Uh, and he’s in the army. And it’s WW2.
…Are we going to address the elephant in the room?
Nope, he’s just the new bro, here we’re all bound by the power of muscles and cool poses.
I mean he foolishly releases the bad guys because he’s arrogant, then he talks a big game and gets his ass kicked repeatedly.

I mean, I haven’t seen any pedophilia, but definitely incest and other weird shit. There’s a lot of shit I don’t pick up on tho.

I have the same trauma. It ran on German TV in the middle of the day decades ago. Never going to forget this.
Cartoon rabbits you day? The perfect family Easter movie.

Just wait until they rent Plague Dogs

Ehhh La Blue Girl isn’t that crazy as far as hentai goes. I did love the pubic hair needle attack.
What goes on in that? Not sure I should even Google it?
Tentacles. Yes, in that way.

Well it is anime.
I was with you till the hentai.
Ninja Scroll am I right or am I right
My first anime! My pops let me rent it when I was like 11 or 12.
Fuckin AWESOME.
Yet still youtube allows lootbox opening videos
It’s literally on the Play Store, rated at M.
Dunno why it’s even rated M. Seems high for what it is
It’s rated M because of moderators poor understanding of ‘gambling’
