Sakuras only 12? I thought she was 13, well ya learn something every day dont ya?
as for violence, what would Digimon be without Gizomon biomerging into Galletmon and kicking purple slimy bottom? or Pikachu if his battery is flat? Or hell, combine em both, The sailor scouts, Girls in very short skirts beating the hell outta evil women (carefull not to drool again Eep. :P) and they are some of the most popular cartoon people on Earth.
