Good lord I hate Super Milk Chan.

ya know i could argue but what's the point. yeah i was wor gabout the prostituion on the legal account BUT it is a social norm there by tradition. also perverse cartoons can be also found of disney, and hana-barbara cartoons as well. if it has a female in it, there is probably a perverse version of it somewhere out there. saying other people do soemthing does not mean i agree with it or condone , except fo rthe fact i don't care what other people do. i mean if you want to blow goats knock yourself out, i don't care. as for my spelling live with it. time taken correcting my spelling on a trivial post is time i'm not wasting. and i could say "everyone reads books" and not feel i'm lying. anyhow anime can be traced back to GASP old american cartoons such as betty boop (note the big eyes on girls). due to insufficent resouces artist in Japan developed a more economic style of drwaing and animating. this was refined over time to give us the style(s) we most associate with Japanese anime today (which is done in large part by Koreans, as are a lot of disney flicks). yu-gi-oh is fluff crap as are some of the others you mentioned but so is alot of programming and movie fare in general (gigli anyone?). Also as far as age of consent i can only find age limits on adult productions being 16, while the age of consent i can't find. did you know dragonball and DBZ are just retellings of the legend of the monkey spirit, a chinese myth akin to the greek trial of herakles, only more epic in scope perhaps? yeah you probably did, didn't you? also i think the most crucial thing is that both these petitions are moot. expcept the ashlee simpson petition, that should be taken seriously.

one more thing, to see what could be argued as the epitome of anime tv series, watch cowboy bebop. it's good in jsut about every way measurable.

It bugs me that no one has pointed out that any kind of "ban on anime" would be illegal, wrong, and unconstitutional.

And Teen Titans and JLU are not commercials. They both tell deep and meaningful stories, and I'll put the quality of their writing up against any show the networks air.

"It bugs me that no one has pointed out that any kind of "ban on anime" would be illegal, wrong, and unconstitutional."

Also pretty well impossible. How could write a law banning "anime" in a way that wouldn't also ban just about every other movie or cartoon?

I LOVE ANIME!!! If anime is banned, I believe it would be an encroachment on my freedom of press and speech! And you are not allowed to do that!!!
If you do that, then you must also get rid of R- rated movies, and pretty much ANYTHING that might be offensive to people!!! There is no law that says you HAVE to watch or read anything that has to do with Manga or Anime. You have the CHOICE to aviod it just as some religions tell you to aviod R- rated movies or drinking alchohol. Just a thought.

I presume the petition exists, but I wonder if the original intent was for publicity and not a serious effort to ban anime. I can remember when D&D first came out and the outcry against it. There is no way anime can be banned, even if it was legal to do so. I bet there is a request for money somewhere near the end of the petition, most special interest groups seem to always be asking for money when they send out letters or petitions or whatever. If this was a publicity stunt, whoever is behind this is getting their wish, at least to some degree.

You should know by now that signing an online petition is about as effective as spitting into a forest fire.

Besides, why ban cartoons based on the country of origin?! While we're at it, we might as well confiscate all the Czech, French, and British cartoons too.

Honestly, I don't see HOW President Bush can ban such a thing from the United States. Yes, some anime out there can be sexual, and yes, he is the president, but really, it's not anyone else's concern. I'm a major fan of anime, and hearing of this proposed "banning" of anime in the U.S. is just idiotic. There's many shows on television now that show worse things, so why not ban them while you're at it? (not that I am complaining, just stating). And of course, seeing this is plastered around the internet, it's kind of hard to really believe if this is actually true or not. If indeed it is, someone is just trying to get a rise out of others, or the president really has more issues than I would have thought.

people I think people are gay and dumb that just shows how jerk our country is ya'll don't know hentai may save people it did save me in fact my life was influence and I am not currpted before I had all of that I was suicidal and all that and hentai saved me

Hey,does anyone have proof that Bush is doing this?Lots of people pick on race,that isn't right,anime should stay,Bush should go!I am asian and I have more asian friends then white and other religions,but he is doing this to the United States because he just hate us asians?!The whole of Asia is strong they have the power to destroy the USA!If you hate asians,the asians will fight you Bush,and war will erupt,think of your people here!We unite today for a reason,you can't defeat our fate,our thoughts belong to us,after all,"No man deserves punishment for there thoughts!"How can our president be such a fool,why don't we might as well move to Asia or something?Does our future have to be controled by such a fool for four more years?

Has anyone heard if the petition was sent? Even if it was sent, the odds are probable about 10 million to 1 that it reaches President George W. Bush's desk and another 10 million to 1 that he would pay attention to it. There is no benefit to the President that I can see for him to pay attention to this, much less act on it. I haven't heard a word about this anywhere but here. This is just some jerk getting his fifteen minutes of fame. And, if the guy responsible for the petition knows about this thread, all anyone is doing here is feeding his ego. The guy protesting isn't much better. His letter has, I am sure, an even smaller chance to get noticed by the President.

The petition was a joke by an anime fan. Whether or not anime should or should not be banned isn't the point. Whether it can or cannot be banned isn't the point. The true humor and genius of the petition lies in trapping the less intelligent into spewing bigotry and random hatred against others. The sad part is it didn't trap "bigot christians" but infintile idiots who I can only pray are only 13 (as an excuse for the lack of grammer or coherent thought). Instead of ignoring the petition or treating is as a joke most of the people that signed spewed such witty gems like "Christians should die. You all suck. Anime is God!". Anime is not the greatest thing since sliced bread and I'm a fan. I enjoy watching it like I enjoy catching the occasional blockbuster flick. It's a form of entertainment and escapism not a reason d'etre.

Please. Read. A. Book.

Ugh. If anime is banned, that would be terrible! I am a HUGE fan of anime, and to do that would be a big loss to the USA. I have lots of friends who love anime, and we even have our own club. To ban it would just be wrong.

Lets see, this thread started back at the end of Jan. There has been nothing in the common media about either an attempt to ban anime or the effort to defeat such. Beyond the fact that such would be impossible, unlawful, and unAmerican there is the glaring probability that this is a hoax (surprise!) so that whoever started it might get a bit of fame.

I can remember, vaguely, a small group who picketed the White House in the 50s demanding that animals be made to wear clothes. It was a hoax then and this is something similar as far as I can tell.

Anime can be good or bad, just like Hollywood movies. I like anime and would protest any serious effort to ban it. It might get tried, there was an effort to ban comics in the early 50s, and comic magazines were made unlawful which is why they are called comic books now. Regardless of how this turns out, anime will continue in America - if it does get banned, the name will change and nothing else.

Saying Anime is bad is just like saying all reality shows or comedy shows are bad. Anime is a genre. Its the people that make a single show bad, not the whole genre. Theres nothing wrong with anime....only some anime shows are bad..

Guys, guys, chill... The petition to ban anime was a hoax by an anime fan. Sure, the people who sign it agreeingly are either physcos or just joking too, but do you really think that politicians would give enough of a damn to actually ban anime? It's stupid even to think it. We don't live in a fasicst society... yet... people >.>

I say the person who made it is just a racist prick who doesnt like the japanese. They said nothing about the banning of porn which is a lot more morally degrading than effing pokemon! Besides if I wasnt watching anime I might be off doing worse. As for Ah! My Goddess (im going to a-con as urd by the way...) it is NORMAL for older men to marry younger women. they still do it in a lot of countires! just because WE think its incorrect doesnt mean its not normal for other people! Honestly....-edward-
