It just looked like a show for Jet Grind Radio fans or something. Most of the OST was done by Hedeki Naganuma, so that's a very good association to make. Air Gear's mangaka used to do hardcore hentai, and it bled over a lot into his mainstream manga. Air Gear has a substantial amount of nudity and "inappropriate" humor in it, which I quite enjoyed as a teen. It's a bit puritanical to get rid of it, but tbh I get why and I'm not gonna fault anyone that doesn't want their teens reading it. It's not like banning Assassination Classroom because its premise reads awfully to parents even though it's actually a fairly wholesome series with a lot of comedy and strong emotional moments. - Also Obama isn't in most of it, but he does show up for a while around the ~70% mark I wanna guesstimate. --- Look, I can name a few instances in MY life where I tried to reach mutual understanding and i can TELL you, always faster and easier to just kill em.

I mean, my school library had Garfield books when I was a kid. I don't see manga as too much of a stretch. In the 2000's I purchased my first Shonen Jump at a scholastic book fair. --- "Well, thanks to the Internet, I'm now bored with sex." - Philip J.

Nah, most of what OP listed (in this topic anyway) are violent works, there may be a little bit of sexuality, but most of the stuff have stuff like people's limbs getting torn clean off, blowing up, body horror, humans as food, a bunch of violent shit that gets the anime adaptations rated TV-MA in the west like Attack on Titan, Parasyte, or Jujutsu Kaisen Ah yeah I know they are pretty gorey and whatnot, but the definitions they are given for banning the list they have now is pretty much a vague "obscenity" thing that only they decide. At first its just whatever they find sexual. Then its whatever they find gay apparently. Overall is whatever they find obscene. Like how in the shit did they decide detective conan is in any way obscene? It can't possibly be because cases involve a dead body because......well we had classic crime novels and characters like sherlock holmes for decades dealing with murders. They are going to end up just banning flat out everything since whatever flimsy things they are looking for probably can be found in any manga whether its made for kids, teens, or young adults. They just need to cut the bullshit and replace the library with bibles....and historically accurate tom cruise's the last samurai. --- GTag:MadDogg730 PSN:lMadDogg NNID:xMadDoggx NS friend code:5313-0564-0819 Go buy cyber shadow like right now. <cite>Mad-Dogg posted [p:983111877] in Tennessee ...
