Sorry, but you're simply wrong, Goob. I've seen enough anime over the years (been watching since Akira came out in the mid 80s) and even the "cutsy" stuff (Pokemon, Urusei Yatsura, Sailor Moon) are HEAVILY laden with sex and violence. If you don't agree, you're obviously not watching enough anime. Sure, there MAY be a FEW series that don't have sex and violence (sorry, CCS has both--if you don't think little girls in short skirts is sexy, you're a fag ;) ) but I can't think of one off the top of my head and that hardly negates anime mostly being about sex and violence (which it is).
