My younger sisters have become obsessed with anime recently, god knows why.
I really wish they weren't, so much anime is crazy and weird, especially to a Western culture. Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh had characters who explicitly like high school girls ffs! :lol: Not to mention that even googling the names of anime can be a frightful business, the safe search does nothing!
This is made worse when my sister will bring stuff up at the dinner table:
"they all went go the beach in bikinis and stuff and compared breast sizes" (Because in every anime ever one of the characters is rich and has a beach house where everyone goes mid series.)
*Parents look at me*
"Hey, its not my fault just cause' I watched this stuff first! It's Japan's fault, them and their perverted otaku audience!"
Should have seen their faces when they saw a boobed mousemat at the Japanese/anime crap stall in Aberdeen, I threatened to buy it. T'was amusing.
Why can't they watch nice, incredibly politically correct and over censored American cartoons?! Bah, if it was up to me they wouldn't even have the internet... thing things I've seen...
