I've read a few articles pertaining to the link between this kind of anime and the low birth rate/rise of NEETs in Japan, but have there been any actual conclusive/long term studies? It kinda seems like if you're a Japanese child, your self-image, in general, would suffer to some extent if all the cartoons you're…

Of course it's okay for you to complain; all opinions that lead to discourse are ultimately a good thing for the show.
