Quote - These age groups cannot see the full scope of what they're doing.

I worked in the youth development field for almost 20 years and that was one of the biggest challenges that we had when it came to kids of all ages (including teens).  How to show them the full scope of what they're doing.  It's like trying to show a distant future when they can barely picture 5 minutes into the future.

If Japan is trying to ban this type of anime and manga then my guess is that things must be really out of hand. But I know they won't be able to ban all anime simply because it brings in Big $$ for alot of industries. Anime and Manga is a culture within itself. Just like the comic industry here, but bigger.
