1. If you're so busy, what are you doing on an off-topic forum in a game developers website arguing with a stranger over the internet about why anime isn't just for children?

2. Several of those shows in the lists that you've provided I wouldn't mind showing to my children (under the assumption that I had any).

3. You haven't answered the second question, the more important of the two.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that your GRIM DARK SO EDGY AND MATURE shows aren't a common occurrence. In fact, it's not that far of a stretch to say that the ones filled with blood and gore are a rarity.

I wouldn't say you are completely incorrect. The same can be said of comics being only for kids, but you've got examples like Watchmen, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Kingdom Come and 300 that are for adults. For anime, there are a lot of kid friendly stuff, but things like Black Lagoon, Witchblade, Death Note, Hellsing, and Gantz that are mature. The film Akira is a great example of a mature anime film along with Ghost in the Shell.

Don't know, I'm not a huge follower of anime. Most get about 2 from what I can tell.

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

Huh, fifth page. Blatant trolling is easier than it used to be.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I've watched some anime but never really found out what was so good about it so I quit, I don't think it's bad for anybody, unless you take it too seriously.

''Misanthropes have some admirable if paradoxical virtues. It is no exaggeration to say that we are among the nicest people you are likely to meet. Because good manners build sturdy walls, our distaste for intimacy makes us exceedingly cordial "ships that pass in the night." As long as you remain a stranger we will be your friend forever.''

''I want people to be sincere; a man of honor shouldn't speak a single word that doesn't come straight from his heart. ''

Watched my first anime not too long ago.
Ghost in the shell.
Was frigging amazing. But im not planning to watch more anime.

Yes, anime is bad...
...compared to the game(s), iDOLM@STER anime is kinda bad.
Still, a good media to get into the franchise.
The only games I've p,ayed that have had Animes made because of them are Persona 4 and Tales of the Abyss, which weren't that bad.

Try Katawa Shoujo

Anime is for pathetic low life nerds that have no social life, so they resort to Chinese Cartoons as a escape from their failed social interactions.

Generally I find "animé" design styles to be repulsive. One or two have plotlines that aren't complete garbage (I'm looking at you Cowboy Bebop) but again, most just come across as dull or recycled.

Plus, Japan's obsession with underage girls just creeps me out.

Well over there, what is usually considered underage for us is not underage for them. The age of consent in Japan is 13.
