Also, I should point out that comic books are notorious for their oversexualization of elderly women. She's probably about 70. ^__^ ~TWF

... and I'm supposed to get offended about old ladies with bodies that would be unrealistic for any woman showing off their stuff?
Besides, anime is full of unaging characters. Astro Boy has been around how long???

Wasn't Astro Boy a robot? Oh wait... you said that on purpose, didn't you?.... You knew I would bring that point up, if only to say right after that was the whole point of your comment, and that I was too dumb to get the fact it was a joke? Then everybody would pick on me, and laugh about me, and I'd live a miserable life until I just crumble and die??? YOU MEAAAAAAAANIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE........ *Runs away crying*

Errr... actually I was just saying that none of the characters in Astro Boy have aged over the years, regardless of the fact that the main character is, yes, a robot. Then there are animated characters that seem to age in reverse. When I was a kid, Duke (on GI Joe) was clearly meant to be in his late 30's. On the new show, Renegades, Duke sounds like he may be just barely past puberty. (And then there are the whole slew of "babies" or "young" shows out there)

On a side note, I don't know if it is true, but apparently "Rock Man" was supposed to be a game about Astro Boy at first, but for some reason they changed it. Not sure why. If that's true, we owe those awesome Megaman games to Astro Boy. -End of useless information-

What kind of Astro Boy can't fly??? (Though it would explain the canon arm and living in a world of evil robots...)
I never got into MegaMan. Those games were way to F'n hard.

That they were. I'm a god at Megaman 3, however. Been playing that since I was a kid, and I know exactly how and when all enemy show up and how to kick their butt stylishly. And I know more than a few way to make them look very silly while I kick their butt. The Megaman X, X-2 and X-3 are not as hard as the old ones, however.

I don't just dislike anime. I'm disgusted by it. Like button. Where's the like button? Why can't I find the damn like button?

Because Chuck Norris won't let you. But yeah, agreed with TWF here. The anime/western comic war has been going for far too long, so I'm not interested in fighting in it at all for either side. I'd rather go with the proverbial, "I like both for several reasons; I could understand why anyone wouldn't like either or both, I don't mind wether they do or not, and I don't care if they don't like me liking both." Or something like that.

Yeah, I would take her home, and bend her over her walker...but I she doesn’t look Elderly. I would probably sleep with Morgan Fairchild though. Anime sucks. It can be argued that Anime that overly sexualizes young girls...but who can tell the difference between and anime dude and an anime chick? Anime has some of the worst art work I’ve ever seen in a cartoon. With that being said I think that Disney probably over sexualized minors nearly as much as animie. We just live in a pretty screwed up world in general. The only Anime I’ve ever seen that didn’t completely suck was Fist of The North Star, but they actually put some effort into their artwork.

... I'm no fan of Disney... they and their Nazi overlords can go frag themselves... but I think it'd be pretty hard to argue that Disney has sexualized underaged girls on any kind of broad scale...
Taught them that all they need to do is be pretty and a rich dude will take care of them? Yes. Given them TERRIBLE ideas about what it takes to make a relationship work? Absolutely. Sexualized them? Not really. Disney is pretty careful about protecting its wholesome reputation (as parodied in one of my favorite episodes of South Park)
