Banning Anime? Who's brilliant idea was this?

I guess there will always be people who keep on wasting time doing these kind of things, instead of using it to educate their children, teaching them what's good and right, and making sure that they are watching, reading, and playing stuff that's actually aimed for their age. But hey, I guess that's a lot of job for these nutcases.
And I like Inu Yasha and Ranma 1/2...

But come on, when isn't it a good time to have cute drawings?

Just remember kids...
+ + = EVIL
I see Slade's point though, the popularity of Anime has caused more traditional styles to fall out of favor. I do miss Looney Tunes...
I watch Inu Yasha, and I think it's pretty good. Not as good as Kenshin or Trigun, but what is?

"Maybe artists shouldn't talk about their art."
"Well kids, I guess your father isn't a hermaphrodite."
"Izzy! enough with the rabid smootching!!"

Bleach
Full Metal Alchemist
Watanabe's great three: Cowboy BeBop, Samurai Champloo & Wolf's Rain
Shakugan no Shana
And could you please stop that ridiculous "Inu Yasha = teh awesome" talk? I might concur if you'd say "the idea behind it is good, maybe even the first season". But after that, the Ranma 1/2 disaster just repeated itself, meaning the company smelled easy money and produced one useless season after another, in which the stupid dog and his irritating compagnions get nowhere at all and fail to develop what little character there had been.

Makes perfect sense to me, but the laws replaced as "authority," and demeaning people by it. Also makes sense to use reasoning and not one sided excuses to what someone else states. What difference can it make when people are not told sense but allowed to do as much of something they want at a certain age or position?
The concern could have been expressed with more facts to prove what they are saying. Video games can lead to the less experienced or less knowledgable or less thoughtful people commiting murders they copy from the games, due to not knowing what is right from wrong as proven some time ago on some murders of a newly released game that was banned in some places after.

But Inu Yasha is not so bad... there are worse. Like Yu-Gi-Oh or Tenchi (which was good for a while, but after the trillionth incarnation, got a little stale), or Duel Monsters, Etc. etc. etc. I'm not saying it's brilliant, I'm just saying it's not the worst.

And there's nothing wrong with Duel Monsters, as it was solely intended to poke fun at all of those crappy comercialised series.

And just for the record, from that list of yours, I also like Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain and FullMetal Alchemist. The other three, I never had the chance to watch them yet. But if I want to watch some guys walking inanely through fields for seasons and seasons looking for something or someone that they are always close to get but in the end it always escapes them, I'm damn sure I'm gonna watch it!
And the avatar, was a joke.
