Wife thought the same thing about anime when I met her, now it’s almost all she’ll watch.
Comment on Balatro yet again subject to mods’ poor understanding of “gambling”

Reminds me of the 90’s. When anime was becoming more available in the west. Titles like Ghost in the Shell, Akira and La Blue Girl. Everyone here just figured they were cartoons and cartoon were for kids. So kids got to watch it…
Now it’s like they see poker, so it must be gambling. Doesn’t matter it’s not the case at all.

…cultural differences…
Pedophilia? Oh, sorry, I meant Neon Genesis

I mean there’s some questionable views about WW2 and Nazi Germany for instance.
Just look at Stroheim from JoJo’s

It felt so weird going into the anime completely blind.
Okay, he’s German. Uh, and he’s in the army. And it’s WW2.
…Are we going to address the elephant in the room?
Nope, he’s just the new bro, here we’re all bound by the power of muscles and cool poses.

I mean, I haven’t seen any pedophilia, but definitely incest and other weird shit.

The national government in Japan is a pile geriatrics who don’t want to do anything. Pretty much every prefecture(think state or provenance) raised the age of consent to 18 a long time ago.

I saw la blue girl when I was 18 and it traumatized me. That shit is fucked up. I thought it was anime bc my friend had a big collection and it was just there on the shelf.

What goes on in that? Not sure I should even Google it?
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
It’s a weird hentai, but it’s overall pretty tame.
Bible Black is more intense. Then Urutsikodoji. Then some other fucked up anime that didn’t stick into my memory. La Blue Girl is barely a step above regular hentai in fucked-up-ness.

Tentacles. Yes, in that way.

Ehhh La Blue Girl isn’t that crazy as far as hentai goes. I did love the pubic hair needle attack.

I remember politely telling the guy at my local Family Video that “Watership Down” should probably be removed from the kid’s section. He scoffed at me and just gave me a “yeah… mkay.”
A few weeks later, I noticed it was gone. I commented on it to a different guy this time and he said “yeeeeah, the boss’ sister brought it home for her kids. It’s gone now. Like… actually gone.”
Childhood trauma could have been avoided with that one.

I have the same trauma. It ran on German TV in the middle of the day decades ago. Never going to forget this.
