They've blamed TV, Music, Games, and now...
Anime is to blame for violence and sexual perversion. Seriously here are some quotes:
[quote]Otakus are not harmless geeks. Even the Japanese people look down on these losers who are mostly segregated to Akihabara/Akiba, also known as the otaku mecca. A number of otaku in Japan have turned to rape and murder as an outlet for their perversions. Many of these deviants are not able to interact with normal people and often develop obsessive and unnatural desires and interests.[/quote]
[quote]Check your child’s computer for anime and anime terms, TODAY. Your child could become an otaku, a furry and even a murderer if not a sexual deviant. Don’t let it happen to you![/quote]
[quote]That’s because most Asians do not believe in G-d, but rather in primitive religions such as Buddhism or Shintoism (paganism).
[/quote]
People like this person who are deeply religious, but seem to take offence to anything particularly without doing any or little investigation scare me.
Sincerely,

ROFL!! It's a good thing people like this don't have any real power in America or we'd be in trouble!
The guys an idiot. Japan has, by far, one of the lowest rates of murder/violence in the world. His main argument seems to be that there have been a few axe murders in Japan, and that an anime caused these murders since it featured a character who used an axe as a weapon. Well since they don't have guns in Japan, and the murders were in more rural areas where people might need to cut firewood, then an axe is a perfectly logical and likely weapon.
I agree with you Hasai.By the way most animes are movies and some are dramatic like Sprite Away.But one anime called Elfen Lied is very brutal.This reminds me of the moment that in program called "Uwaga" said that anime is violence and contains some nudity then they showed Bulma's ass.Animes are better than onther cartoons cause for drawings mixed with 3D(Watch "Blood the Last Vampire") and for a great scenario.
Stop caring about things like this, people will always target something to blame because they forget there's like a million factors and reasons of people being violent and/or perverted.
Maybe it's just a troll? The tone seems vaguely sarcastic to me.
This reminds me of an incident here a little while ago, in which an amime-style advertisement on television received complaints and media attention because the characters involved 'looked' childlike.
As I turned to the music channel to watch Fergie prance around in her girl scout outfit (which as far as I know nobody has complained about) I reflected on how self-deceiving and xenophobic my fellow citizens could be.

it all a load of bull. tv doesn't cause violence, except for pretend violence during filming. BUT THAT IS IN FILMING! Also, they use special effects.
Cultural biases and taboos truly are strange, irrational things.
