"You watch that?! It's a kiddy cartoon!"

[dendawg]

I'd also love to hear these people explain why Betty Boop was topless in a few of her early cartoons, if they were "Just for kids," or that her dress was prone to falline down or getting blown up at any time before the Hays office took over?

If cartoons are for children, then explain Fritz the Cat, Wizards, and Urotsukidooji. And the last being Japanese still doesn't explain it.

^-.-^

Or Watership Down, Plague Dogs and Felidae. Especially Felidae. Cuz seeing a cat with its head torn off, or a pregnant cat with its kittens ripped out of its stomach is wholesome family fare, riiiigght?

Friend rented that once when I was a kid from a video store that had the "all cartoons for kids" mentality and didn't read the box.

Traumatized us for months.

...Do you need a hug?

...Wow. Just....wow. o.O I've heard of stupidity, but...wow.

If you're referring to Hearth's Warming Eve... That's how Pinkie got her cutie mark.

Her story to the Crusaders was how Equestria was made.

Oooooh! Okay, now I get it. Glad you cleared it up.

Of course I'm the type to remember something that crazy.

She may not be Best Pony, but Pinkie Pie is definitely fun.

[Andara Bledin]

Hey, she's the best Pinkie Pie there is, and every town needs at least one.

They had a bunch of old badly dubbed anime movies: Akira, Windaria, Vampire Hunter D, Vampire Princess Miyu, Bubblegum Crisis, all that old stuff that first came over. They noticed we were renting it a lot ( because Vampire Hunter D was awesome ) so they figured this anime thing was popular and just picked up everything animated from Japan that they saw. Then put it on the shelf. >.>

We got another round of WTF when they stuck Crying Freeman out on the shelf too.

One of the worst animes for bloodshed that I've seen is Elfen Lied. Even worse considering that the main characters all look so cute and adorable; in the first ten minutes, you get a double whammy of death and nudity where a large group of men get ripped apart limb from limb.

I'd find it faintly disturbing if a parent who thought that animated stuff is always for kids decided to show Elfen Lied to their children; they'd be paying out for therapy for years afterwards.

I'm pretty sure Elfen Leid is actually Latin for "Extensive Therapy". Great soundtrack though. The series is nothing compared to the manga either on a side note. Which takes "OH GOD FUCK WHAT?" up to 11 right after the anime ending and just holds it there for several hundred pages.

Ugh, Elfen Lied is just....messed up. Fiance had me watch it after we'd successfully gone through Gurren Lagann, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Samurai Champloo together. I'm sorry, what about those previous three made him think, "Huh, I bet she'd enjoy naked pre-teen girls murdering everything with invisible tentacles!!"?

Warning: Do NOT click the link if you are around children or at work. Not safe for soul.

Regarding the manga, I give you Number 28. That is all.

^Dear god, that manga IS messed up. I remember reading about how manga is banned in some places, over concerns that it promotes sexual violence and worse. Stuff like that doesn't help!
Ugh. Don't get me wrong, there is some awesome stuff out there, but unfortunately there's some serious fuckery too.

[AdminAssistant]

At one point during Elfen Lied, I looked over at Fiance and said, "I don't know who made this, but maybe the authorities should go to their house and check the closets and crawl space."
