If you don't see a problem with it then go right ahead. I'm just saying that we sometimes discuss some pretty serious topics in this forum and if you want to be taken seriously, then you might want to consider putting a little extra effort into your posts.

I had to take a couple reads to decipher what you wrote. Serious, is it that hard to use spell check? I mean, if your browser doesn't have one, just open up whatever word processor you have, write what you want to say in there, and copy/paste it into your message.
Anyway, back on subject: Different people have different standers when it comes to raising their children. Some parents won't let their children even see anything sexual, and will be that way until they're out of the house, while others may not have a problem with it when they get older, and if it's in the right context. And when it comes to anime, a lot parents may just not know were any of it falls in their standers. Just because anime can be so much different then what we see in our media, so they just damn it all to be on the safe side. A way to get them to let you watch certain show, is to compare it to something they do let you watch. Example (Note, I'm using somewhat old shows here.) Say you want to watch Big O, but your parents say you can't. But they do let you watch Batman the animated series (or new adventures). Big O is very easy to compare, and have similar content in terms of violence and sexually, as well as similar themes (Big 0 has been called Batman with a giant robot). And there others that can be compared, but I'm not in the mood to list them.

well i didnt really have anything to b serious about there so again, i dont really c much wrong with it nore this hense my gramma. and i'm on my Wii so i cant really paste stuff. i do have the dictionary bar thing at the top but its annoying cuz wenever i end a sentence with a period it does this: "blah blah blah.ca " plus wen i'm on my Wii i usually try to type fast just so i can get more used to it. i try to use as correct as possible spelling and grammar wen i'm typing something really important tho. (to me anyway)
if your parents are overprotective or something then an easy way would probably be to just note to them that whatever show youre trying to watch doesnt have any, (or much) imitatable violence. (still dont care enough about grammar, sorry lol)

I'm 17 with a 13 and an 8 year old brother, and we all sat down and watched every single episode of death note. My parents don't care, the issue is more mental maturity than age. We all comprehend that people can and will eventually die and that some people are bad and /or violent.[ TOTAL "and" = 7 ]

I haven't had this problem. Honestly, my parents will let me watch whatever I want as long as I do not reinact or attempt to do the "bad" things they potray.
But in your case, keep on doing it. They have to except that you like this stuff and for the fact, it is quite funny. But it depends on what age you are. Ten or older, you're okay. Younger, you're not. Try watching it when they're not around. But if they really don't want you watching it until you're older, then stop. Some times with pleasure [in this case, comedic pleasure], you must pay the price. And let me tell you, it's worth it. I was grounded, no TV or computer, for well one was losing my cell phone and two was jerking off my responsibilities to watch YTAS. I survived and you should too. Now, go fire your parents, become a successful asshole millionare, and watch whatever you like.

Don't we all?
Well in regards to your parents, if you got caught watching something horrible like... ah say, LotO(Don't by the way, it's really... well, I wouldn't suggest it) then yeah, I could understand their reactions. TAS seems innocent enough. I think the worst thing they ever do is the drug joke at the begining of the series with Yami. I mean, LK even bleeps out the cuss words, so how bad could it be? My suggestion to you, try going over to a friend's house to watch it. You don't have to worry about parents sticking their nose into your bussiness. I myself had one restrictive mother who HATES anime, and my father who loves it and introduced me to it. Whenever I wanted to see something she didn't like, I just went behind her back. Watching anime isn't bad, and I followed all the other rules. That one is just set down by people who don't want to accept that tastes are changing into something they don't like.

My friend's like that. Only she found anime on her own. Her mom and dad hate it but mainly because she doesn't follow through her responsibilites because she spends most of her time watching anime. But it's true. YTAS is pretty innocent except for some adult jokes but they beep out most of the swears.

I don't see a lot of problems with most of those anime, though the limits your parents are putting on you lead me to ask your age.
If I had a 12-year-old, I'd let him/her watch Inu-Yasha for sure. However, not all parents agree on what television is right for children. Have a talk with your parents about their feelings regarding the anime in question. Let your parents know what kind of content is in each (honestly, those anime are pretty tame, so a thorough explanation of each should at least make them reconsider their stances). Please don't lie to your parents and watch anime without their permission. As square as they may seem, they are just trying to protect you, even if you are growing up. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

My parents don't really care, because they know I'll watch what's too violent anyways. I've had countless conversations with my mom, convincing her to let my younger sister watch things. I just figure that she'll see it whether she's supposed to or not, might as well just say go ahead. My mom has weird ideas about some things, like she deems things such as vampires satanic (which I suppose does sort of make sense, but it's still pretty prude-ish), but it's all pretty easy to rationalize.
I say talk to your parents about it, and really explain the anime thoroughly, If they still have a problem with it, then it's up to you whether to watch it or not. But make sure you assure them that watching Death Note won't make you find a notebook that kills people ; ) And this was my two cents. Which when compared to your two cents, is like...fifty bucks.

Yet due to inflation fifty bucks is practically worthless.
Id I were you I'd consider investing in gold. Or saving your advice in the form of pearls of wisdom. That way, even with inflation, it won't lose value.

But either way, fifty bucks is a hell of a lot more than two cents

(WARNING -parental ranting is involved in this post)
I never got to watch what I wanted when I lived at 'home' with the parents. My grandma and mom had control over the tv. As a result, Im a tv Nazi w/my kid. I love anime. Im in control of the programing, but I dont really care about the 'rating' system either. Mostly because I PAY ATTENTION to how my son behaves and what he is watching. I let him watch most of my anime with me, but then again I usually only get anime that I 'can' watch with him. (he is 7) And no I dont use those stupid parental controls. EVER. I believe that if you are that concerned you should be physically present or the tv, pc and what not should not be on. Parental controls foster distrust its like saying I cant possibly trust you to be obedient you little shit... wtf. I love inuyasha, my son and I have watched that since he was about five yrs old, if he can watch dragon ball z, there is no reason why he cant watch that. (his dad is a dbz fan) He has watched death note with me. I have noticed, anime really isnt the problem. Its that damn live 'family' programming like disney and nickalodian.... I didnt monitor that stuff. and then one day I woke up and my child was a sarcastic, back talking, argumentative BRAT. (tv imprints/brainwashes young minds -Im now convinced of this) I dont even remember what it was... but I watched it with him, this crap that turned him into an insolant BRAT behind my back. It was so bad I ended up pouring soft soap in his mouth. Family Programing my ass !!!! The only thing anime does for him is that he has a tendancy to thing he can 'fight' like dbz characters, that is easily rectified when I allowed him to spar w/me for about a second. He wanted to learn karate ... so I took a day aside to teach him stances.... (poor kid, he wasnt ready for that.... he gave it up REAL quick), that and meeting one of my martial arts teacher friends cured him of that. (It was actually really funny!!) sometimes he thinks he is a pokemon, kinda desturbing but at least he isnt being disrespectful and nasty. He's not allowed to watch soul eater, but he can watch d gray man. Eh going through my list of anime to get through my point would be a horribly boring thing to do to you, so I will just leave it with that one example. This is what my son does, if he hears about something at school or sees something he wants to watch he asks me to watch it with him. (he can only watch things I approve of , and yes, I usually watch it with him, and have a tendency to introduce things OTHER than pokemon so that I may retain my sanity) I mean, I really dont think death note is incredibly bad or seeeeeedy, and neither is stuff like Inuyasha, I like to think (maybe other parents arent like me...) that if they (the parents) watch it they arent going to see much wrong with it. Its my son's fault I started watching yu gi oh in the first place.... and yes we play the game together ..... (Im such a nerd!) The good thing about watching stuff with your kids is that if there is some content you disapprove of you can talk to your kid about it. (yes that part is for your parents) Then again, Im a bit odd anyway, I dont really disaprove of violent content in the least, if I did, he wouldnt be allowed to watch the news untill he was at least 14....

I don't think Walt Disney intended his channel to turn into what it is today and that's sad. If it's going to be called Disney Channel, at least give some respect to the name and not put trash on his channel. Of course no one gives a crap about quality and they only care for the money... I mean, yes you should be concerned about money, but the fact that it's everyone's driving force instead of quality is upsetting. Quote:

All in all, if you disapprove of your kid watching something, watch it first yourself, talk about it, and if it's something you don't mind him/her watching but you think that you should still be around, be around. I know that you can't always be with your kids especially in this busy age with a poor economy but do what you can. A lot of American cartoons suck these days. I wish that people would make DVDs of the old Nickelodeon cartoons, but for some reason they refuse. Probably that money thing again...

In any case, when I was growing up my mother didn't believe in censorship in any form whatsoever. That is, I could watch anything, so long as it was good. Anything that was stupid I couldn't watch, thouch. So, as a result, I ended up growing up watching a combination of Steven Speilberg cartoons (you know the ones) and Quentin Tarantino films. And you know what? I'm all the more mature for it. And I would watch virtually everything with my mother, not as a form of her supervizing or whathaveyou, but because we both enjoyed watching whatever it is we'd watch. And we still do, to this day. So yeah, censorship is stupid.

HAAHAAHA No he is only 7 too early for puberty, but I LOVE that joke !!!
It was live action disney nickalodian crap that was to horrid for my memory to retain. I dont really sensor a whole lot from my son, not after he found his dad's porn..... that was the FUNNIEST discussion on how babbies are made and std's are contracted that I have ever participated in. Back to the disney thing Walt was a sexsist Nazi supporter. The whole point of his early family shows was strong male charactor idiot female charactor with nice lovely racial elitest values.

Well, AGaint cannot help you with how to watch Anime, as bad TV was one thing I was allowed, but can say I had very strict Mum, and that I allowed my Mum to stop me doing lot of things. I now look back and regret it badly, do not allow yourself to be controlled by parents mate, not saying be hell raiser, but if want to do something and only real reason not to, is parents, DO IT because it will be bad for you and your parents if don't
Though one trick did find when doing things should not, is to stick a lot of junk infrout of your door to your room, so cannot open, should give you warning enough to hide the evidence

I cant possibly agree with your statement. Its probably because Im a parent. I was raised by a very strict Roman Catholic grandmommy and a mostly absent yet very domineering/control freak Mother who was a Eucharistic minister and religious ed teacher. Im not going to say it didnt suck.
However, due to their belief system they did what is right and the best they could. I didnt really believe that at all till I became a parent. Though I will have to admit I was thankful they were not Pentecostal as a freind of mine was, and it seemed her parents thought everything was EVIL including terry pratchet books and monte python and cartoons and fantacy and science fiction and oh wait, I did say everything..... If you really want to do something that goes against the rules in your house first be ready for the consequences and accept them. You asked for it by doing what ever it was. (I think I was grounded untill I was about 18 yrs old when I left to go join the army) Second, you have your ENTIRE LIFE to go do what you want, are you really that impatient that you cant wait ? Is what ever act of defiance that important? (yes sometimes it is, though sometimes we are just being ridiculous dumb asses) you just wait, my son is going to turn out to be a racist fundamentalist hard core born again pentecostal southern baptist who believes Im possessed by demons and trying to drag him into hell with me...and then he will get into politics and just for the icing on the cake, he will sell his soul to some megalomaniac cooperation that poisons baby seals.

Ne, sounds like were same, both had overbearing mothers, but I am just giving kid advise, not to be hell raiser or anything, but things like going to see a movie not suppose too, are part of growing up, I let my mum control me, and it ruined my life, I had hardly any friends and never did anything, until I broke from her, I had a lot of anger to her and have many regrets about wasting lot of my childhood

I was raised Catholic and while my parents were strict, they weren't that strict. They let us watch cartoons and some live-action stuff. They let me watch Sailor Moon and stuff when I was little, along with just about any other anime at the time. My mom used to be against me watching anything with witches in them but I thought that rule was stupid and watched it anyways (it was stuff like Bewitched and Sabrina, I think). She eventually gave up and even though I watched that stuff, I'm still as Catholic as ever, lol.
So you can be religious and be pretty liberal about what you let your kids watch on TV. I find that it works relatively well as long as you have some limitations here and there. It was more of an issue to tell us to get off the TV and do something else rather than control what we watched.
