I think Japanese children's shows are pretty fun! I'm not knocking the kinky stuff, but :opens titanium umbrella: the heart of animation culture is kid's shows.

[(Anonymous)]

I know right. And they can get away with so many shit, no one ever dares to use. I remember watching one where PTSD was not only explained, but a character suffered a lot because of it. After one failed mission, where he had a massive panic attack, no one forced him to magically cure the condition, they decided it's better for his health if he doesn't attend to missions for the time being. I dunno why, it was a nice change of pace.

Ooh, what series was that?

[caerbannog]

I too would like to know!

[(Anonymous)]

It's called Danball Senki Wars. Third season of the Danball Senki series. Once you get past of tinyrobots battling in tiny dioramas, it's a pretty mature story.

[(Anonymous)]

In the USA it runs under the name Little Battlers Experience, but they cut out half of the show because terrorism, the attempted assasination of the prime minister and so on. I doubt Wars will ever reach the shores, because jut like what the title says, it's about wars and it would take tons of extra work to make it kid friendly.

As someone who mainly watches Japanese kid's shows, both anime and live-action... I kinda disagree? There are calm bits of fandom, yeah, but there's also the shitty bits. They're just more self-contained, I guess, so you don't really see either unless you go looking.

And I'd actually say kid's shows are way worse about selling merch. Since most of them are focused around some kind of merch and all.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it always depends on the show. From what I've seen it's more on the calm side with some bickering now and then, unless we are talking about the Digimon/Pokémon fandoms. Now those are risky waters and one has to be really careful.

While they are focused to sell one thing be it cards or spinning tops, they don't mean to drag you into the merchandise hell like regular shows. Seeing how Bandai milks SM and what happened to Free!, HQ, hell even Osomatsu-san really got me wondering about this actually. Sure, nothing is free of sins, but it's easier to see how and where kid's shows are trying to make you buy/like something, and say no to its call.

[coffeeyoukai]

Eh, it's easy enough to avoid the obvious kid's merch, but kid's shows definitely get their fair share of fanservice merch too. They're just not advertised as much or in the same ways as the kid's merch.

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes I remember all the Precure porn drama on Tumblr. They even had a blog dedicated to call-out some people.

[(Anonymous)]

I remember that the Inazuma Fandom almost had the same too, but it was quickly extinguished so it didn't burn down the entire fandom.

Just speaking from (limited, card-game anime only) experience, it really depends on the fandom. Like, Vanguard's always seemed fairly chill, though not perfect, but on the other hand, Yugioh fandom is very often a warzone and a nightmare.

We are generally pretty good about not tagging hate though so it's not too hard to avoid a lot of it.

(I am kind of loling about the Buddyfight image here though bc that is definitely a show meant to sell cards first and tell a story second. Card game anime is like that.

That said, BUDDYFIGHT :DDD)

[(Anonymous)]

I love kids anime. I watch some of the more "mature" stuff too, but I go out of my way to give the kids shows a shot, and a lot of them are more interesting and well-written than people give them credit for.

[(Anonymous)]

Who is this kid? He looks cute.

I was under the impression that most of the 'grown-up' anime shows were actually marketed toward kids in Japan.

[(Anonymous)]

Those would be more teen shows and even then there's a lot of exceptions. It's more of what's considered kid friendly, and it toes the line a bit more often. Like in the US, Batman: The Animated Series pushed the line of what entertainment for children could contain, but in a fair amount (I wouldn't say "a lot" or "a little" but a notable number) of anime shows, that line that BTAS pushed is just already sitting there.

[(Anonymous)]

Most of the stuff that people like here is late night anime, though. Late night anime is marketed towards a more niche audience where as daytime is for stuff with broader appeal like kids shows and stuff like One Piece. That said the late night stuff is usually marketed towards older teens and twenty-somethings.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. One Piece is considered kids' fare, or something dads watch with their sons. Everything in Shounen Jump, like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Reborn, Prince of Tennis, etc. etc. is considered for children and airs in the middle of the day. If you still like it when you're in high school, it's considered rather childish.

A lot of ecchi shows, like the Love Hina-esque variety, are actually for like 14 year old boys. They're not really meant for adults - that's why they never have sex in them, just teasing and boobs and panties.

There are late-night shows, though, for sure, but most animators would rather get their stuff shown in the middle of the day because it gets more views. So they make it family friendly (and Japan they aren't as prudish as Americans, so what is seen as family friendly is far broader a category. IE, they show Princess Mononoke in the middle of the day with no warnings for violence. And it is considered a family movie).
