But we DO have variety.
This is hardly the ONLY anime airing this season.
There are TONS of different anime doing thigns that are not even sexualized, so this can’t really be a complaint.

Nice straw man you have there, Straw Hat. If you can’t see the difference between provocative material in general and material that specifically sexualizes minors or encourages societal denigration of women and minority groups, I’m not sure what to tell you.

Shokugeki no Soma, 91 days, Mob Psycho, Jojo pt 1-4, Gundam Unicorn, Hibike Euphonium, Erased, Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, One Punch Man, Gangsta, Kekkai Sensen, Death Parade, Junketsu no Maria, Shingeki no Bahamut, Parasyte, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, Space Dandy, Barakamon, Zankyou no Terror, Ping Pong, Uchuu…

People can say something not nice if they want to, they’ll just have to accept getting a similar reply in return.

Serious question here. Does anybody remember anime from 2009 upwards? Like Death Parade? Or Parasyte? Or Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood? Or Black Lagoon: Roberta’s Blood Trail? Or Madoka Magica? Or One Punch Man? Or Hunter x Hunter 2011? Or Prison School? Or Psycho Pass? Or Gundam Unicorn (or any Gundam because…

On some levels I agree with. But we aren’t talking about the sexualization of miners, the abuse of women or the mistreatement of minorities.

We’re talking about an anime in which girls use their butts and tits to fight.

So, are you as concerned about the proliferation of violence in games in our society, then? Because if our fiction constantly tends to portray characters as brutally murdering each other, shouldn’t that be take just as if not more seriously? Are we going to crack down on everything from Battlefield to GTA?

you can have all the opinions you want. but if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all.

The same argument has been applied to music, video games, horror movies, pornography, art, literature, Harry Potter, Poke’Mon, the holiday of Halloween...I know you’re well intentioned, but let’s tone down how self-righteous we get about saving the world from anime where girls hit each other with their butts. I would…

trust me, 2006 had it’s share of crap anime. If anything it was before 2006 that everything under the sun got licensed and translated for Western audiences and it became much harder for fans to filter out the crap. I remember in the 90's when most of what people were familiar with was stuff like Castle of Cagliostro,…

I don’t think for a second that it has. There has ALWAYS been shitty anime in the industry, and we remember the good stuff because that’s exactly what it is. Sturgeon’s Law (90% of anything is crap) applies in the long-term as well, the difference in perception between the past and present comes from only remembering…

Claiming this is the face of anime would be the equivalent of saying Family Guy is the face of american entertainment.

The sexualization of minors, the abuse of women, the mistreatment of minorities - if a country is engaged in this kind of shit, I don’t care how far removed they are from Western norms, it’s wrong and immoral and the international community is perfectly within their rights to shame them.

I mentioned the headline of this article to my wife and she said “You had me at butts and boobs” haha. Is it wrong that both of us highly enjoy these kinds of silly anime shows? Should we feel guilty that the idea of women fighting with butts and boobs is so absurd that it’s actually entertaining? I feel like, even in…

As an American? I think my responsibility to this issue amounts to not viewing it. It’s not my place as a non-Japanese person to decide what should or should not be changed about their culture. That’s the international equivalent of a guy trying to tell a woman what she should do with her body.

This one will give you nightmares
