<chuckle> Oh how naive you are about Japanese culture, Goob. Do you know they have panty vending machines (some used, from what I've heard) there? Japanese culture has a HEAVY little girl fetish (of course Asian females in general tend to be petite waifs anyway).

Um, by "sex" I don't necessarily mean actual sex, you idiot; simply sexual...sexuality. Come on, man, learn to extrapolate. And if you don't think Pokemon has violence, YOU are the one who needs to get out more. How often is Team Rocket "blasted into space"? Duh...they have to be HIT (violence) by something to be pushed, you know.

Uh huh...so are you now agreeing with me that sex and violence are the biggest components (not ONLY or ALL!) of anime?

I never said they were NECESSARY components for BEING anime; simply that they ARE the biggest components OF anime. Helps to understand English, Goob...

Um, Hollywood IS MOSTLY (not "all") about sex and violence--if you can't see that, you truly are clueless.

God damn, dude, do you just like to argue or something? At least TRY to offer support for your arguments...
