It's those darn pokemons again!

I'm amazed this article was published!

Oh deary me. Perhaps anime will wrench away video games' current title of "most likely to corrupt our kids"? I'd love to see mothers standing outside anime retailers with billboards protesting the evils of anime with little crossed out pictures of Totoro and Pikachu.....

I won't even begin to list the reasons why that article is wrong, it just isn't worth the time.

PokÃ©mon and Yu-Gi-Oh is hardly messing with kids, I mean, the worst to come out of it is kids getting their cards/pokÃ©mon stolen but once that happens they straighten up and make sure it NEVER happens again.

However, DBZ [and Naruto] I agree with, as with Yu-Gi-Oh and PokÃ©mon it's just cards and imaginery creatures fighting/dueling one another, while DBZ [and Naruto] brings up play fighting [and bad childhood acting] which leads to epic violence on the playground and at the end of the day it doesn't end well.

[True story, all happened to me.]

You know it doesn't seem like a normal week unless the Americans are on a witch-hunt and looking for some band or people or medium to blame for problems within there degrading society

I find ignorant, stupid people and their ill-informed opinions to be laugh-out-loud amusing on so many levels. Does that make me a bad person?

Hahahahaha.. what a nob. One day - if it hasn't happened already - he is so going to get beaten up. I swear, not even one of those comments were in his defense.

concentrate more on stopping 14yo's getting guns than anime corrupting kids tbh

Fix the mindless crap that comes out of America then have a go at the Japanese.

Yep i love how theres not a single comment supporting his argument, and this is the internet! Where no matter how hard you try you'll find SOMEONE to disagree with you. People who say "racism is bad" get more opposition than that guy! Laughing

As long as a Jack Thompson-like figure doesn't come out of a hole and try to take this further we're okay
