Message: [QUOTE="Deleted member 608669, post: 221442, member: 608669"] Well, as stated throughout, no. Anime, just like anything else has something for every age. Yes you have anime like say Pokémon, that is very obviously aimed at young to mid-teen kids. There's no denying it. Actually, it's aimed more at the parents' wallets, but that's not the point. You also have the more 15-18 year old targeted anime, like Dragon Ball, Death Note, FMA. Yeah, they have heavy themes, but nothing really a teenager can't handle. Then you have the more adult-oriented anime, and no, I don't mean hentai and ecchi. As mentioned, titles like Ghost in the Shell, Your Lie in April, and A Silent Voice are more thought provoking and adult-oriented animations. If you really want to get someone out of the mindset that anime is just for kids, sit them down and have them watch something like Monster. The themes in that are well above child and teen levels. You really need life experience and to have watched a lot of the nightly news and seen a lot of real-world violence on said news, to truly understand what Monster is trying to convey. Not saying you have to be a philosophy major, but most teens won't understand Monster. Hell a lot of adults won't either. ...goblins... [/QUOTE]
