No, you're right. He should be watching carefully planned new-age politically correct cartoons. He'll probably never hear a racist joke at school either, due to your awesome parenting.

Morals are defined by the culture. In Japan, being a pedophile doesn't seem to be a big deal. Might not be okay in the traditional American way of life, but Anime isn't from America.

Arnold is an action movie character with huge muscles. Most of his movies aren't satire. I fail to see how it's meant to be ironic.

Misty is realistic compared to girls around 13-16 these days. They wear even shorter shorts.
So you say that middle school is child porn because little girls wear short shorts.
Fuck this I'm not feeding you anymore.

This is fan art...
[QUOTE=John-Fu;24591266]Lets get this started:
1. The hair... I mean seriously, what is up with that? In every anime I've seen (It's on TV sometimes and I see enough on 4chan and FP avatars) the hair is really stupid, it's like EVERYONE uses a can of hair spray and hair dye everyday.
[img_thumb]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tKm-K_V0Wb4/SX5-5TeCb8I/AAAAAAAAA-0/2ss3PMjhZm4/s400/dragon_ball_z_37.jpg[/img_thumb]
WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? [/QUOTE]
Usually, in Sci-fi/fiction anime, weird hair it's almost like tradition in those genres.
[QUOTE=John-Fu;24591266]
2. The racism... Have you ever noticed how when in anime instead of having everyone the same, whenever they have an american character on or german or whatever they emphasize the stereotypes to the point of cracking, it's really fucking disgusting how it thinks it can get away with that shit. If we had a show where we had Japanese people with big teeth, etc, they'd flip. (Don't bring up WW2 propaganda, it was over 60 years ago and we had a reason)[/QUOTE]
HAHAHAHAHAHA! OH SHIT! Take a joke, damn. I mean seriously, look at American cartoons and shows and tell me there is no racism involved. In fact, I think I only remember one anime that had racism in it.
[QUOTE=John-Fu;24591266]
3. The sex... Why is it that in every single anime series almost all the girls (see point 4) have giant boobs, not even realistic, and they bounce at everything. I'm not gay or anything, I just don't want my son to see that kind of shit while he's watching KIDS TV.[/QUOTE]
That's also usually a part of bad animes. From what I'm seeing you're seeing generic anime/perv anime. But sometime sex is essential to furthering story plots or causing a relationship. Again, look at American television.
[QUOTE=John-Fu;24591266]
4. The child porn... Ok, so not all the girls have big boobs, but the ones who dont are usually children which would be ok with me, but... why the FUCK do they have them running around in little skirts and tight shirts, it's fucking disgusting. How do they get away with that shit? Because they're Japanese and get some kind of immunity? [/QUOTE]
Once again, BAD ANIME! Your forgetting that things like this are also in American television, we're just more subtle about it. Plus, they add in more detail so there is a difference between art styles as well. ALSO, culture, culture takes a huge part in this.
[QUOTE=John-Fu;24591266]
5. Unrealistic expectations... Look up at that picture in my first post, look at the muscles, how am I meant to tell my son that he'll never look like that and will probably end up unhealthy and fat like me? Fuck sake, it's really cruel of them...[/QUOTE]
Unrealistic expectations really come from the eyes of the beholder. If your son has unrealistic expectations than your son is easily manipulated into believing such things as this.
From what I can tell, your son is suffering from lack of adult supervision. This really falls on you, you need to change your son, not bitch about something else that will give you an excuse not to. You need to take responsibility because that's YOUR child, not YOUR plaything that you just from clay.

You're using fanart as an argument, well done. :downs:
[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;24591591]What I hate more than those kinds of animes are people that decide to generalize an entire animation style based on a small percentage.[/QUOTE]
Large percentage actually. Sorry to say.

[QUOTE=John-Fu;24591616]Wiki said that Lucky Star is a slice of life, to me it looks like more child porn. No schools make girls wear shit like that and in the image search a shower scene showed up :|[/QUOTE]
Lucky Star sucks. I agree on that. I'm pretty sure there are some anime's that aren't something you call "child porn". You just need to search deeper.

This man probably hasn't been out of his house for the last 10 years.
What animes have you been watching? Not all animes are terrible. If you're looking at shit like, "Master of Martial Hearts" then yes. It is terrible. But there are very good animes. Two animes I really like are, Clannad and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Two of my favourites actually. You say that all animes are based on girls with huge tits? No. In Clannad, the characters consist of mostly girls but none of them have "huge boobs". A lot of animes revolve around character development and storyline. Just like any show would. There are also a lot of overrated animes such as Naruto, with a dull storyline, hardly ANY character development. Just the same plot, over and over again. I'm sure many people can introduce your son to great animes. I recommend ANYTHING that Hayao Miyazaki has made(I see many people have too, from earlier posts).

She's dressing and short shorts and she automatically is an HIV-infected whore? Listen to yourself. I got to school with people that dress like that ans they are nice, clean people. It's just a fucking style, so quit crying about it.

as much as i enjoyed watching this particular anime, there was the part in the second season where those romanian orphans are forced to have sex with each other to make CP, but obviously it was not shown. this is however a pretty graphic scene even if it is not actually shown but just referred to
Yea, cause I guess anime movies like Howl's Moving Castle got all these awards and good criticism and are STILL shit, I guess.

I went to middle school years back, and even then the girls wore shorts that were all the way up to their ass, and this wasn't a "poor school" like you would put it. It's just how they dress these days.
