This morning I was hanging out on one of the muds I frequent and someone mentioned anime and another person responded that anime was mostly very violent things and lots of sexual content. They said they were a big anime fan and that is what most shows were. I hadn’t run into someone who was so unwilling to admit they might be wrong about that in a while. Even when mentioning a list of all the shows that just started airing and showing that there was only one show in there that might come close to this person’s definition of ‘very violent’. He insisted that I must be incorrect and that he was right. It was frustrating.
I thought anime was starting to get away from this stereotype.
