Is it me, or dose this guy seem more than a little racist against Japan?
That aside, saying we should ban Anime is like saying we should ban art. There are so many different kinds that you cant possibly say all of them are bad. I don't think anyone will argue the fact that there are some animes that are, shall we say "inapropriate for younger viewers," but you can't ban them all based soley on the few that this guy dosn't like.
Another part of the problem comes from the common assumption that all anime is for kids. Only a moron would let their kids watch some of this stuff, but not all fo it is ment for children. There is a great deal of anime targeted toward a mature, adult audience, and is made accordingly. This is the same prople we saw when the "Comic Book Code" was created. Yes, some anime is not apropriate for children, but it was never ment to be seen by children in the first place. It's like complaining that an R rated movie was not "kid freindly."
