OMFG! I CANT BELIVE IT! YOU KNOW ANIME IS IN KIDS, TEENS, AND SOME ADULTS LIVES! YOU CANT JUST TAKE IT AWAY! WE\'RE A FREE COUNTRY! THAT MAKES THE U.S NOT LOOK LIKE A FREE COUNTRY! IM SO MAD! BUT LISTEN IF THEY DO BANNED ANIME! WE GO IN FRONT OF THE WHITEHOUS AND PROTEST! OMFG I CANT BELIVE IT! ~Tenten xoxo
they can't get rid of anime, the majority of the people in the us have watched anime at some time and most channels get the mojority of there money from the anime and stores and anime cons and ect therefore don't get rid of it
Nobody has any right to ban anime. Its about freedom of expression and if they do ban it, I will personally start a riot. It will be at the front of every government building in America.
Bush CANNOT ban anime just because one singe Neonazi Christian Extremist interprets anime to be wrong and filth. To this 'Undersigned', I say that they are on the fast track to a seat in the ninth circle of Hell. Besides, if Bush went through with this plan, then it would be in clear violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America! If parents don't want their children exposed to non-age appropriate material that can be found in some (but not all) anime, then they should screen what their children watch and leave the rest of us Americans alone.
If Bush were to ban Anime, that would be a violation of freedom of speech, he cant do that! There are plenty of people who will gladly fight to keep anime. There is something for everyone in anime. Yes there are bad anime shows, but most of the time they are kept from younger children, and not being shown. What will happen to Cartoon Network? Most of the shows on there are Anime, you cant shut down a network for showing harmless shows. THIS IS NOT COOL! Keep anime!! plus if Bush does ban anime, then there is always expost facto. Meaning, if you have the item before the law is made, you dont have to give it up, and you cant get in trouble for it!!
If people want to stop showing anime, which is just a form of many entertainment, then I suggest everyone don't attend theater, or watch TV, or use the Internet or read books. This kind of suggestion is just ridiculous. Who do these people think they are that they can dictate how everyone else live their lives? Religious extremists, regardless of which religion should be the ones that punished, not moderate, average people who just want to have some chill time watching their favorite show, which just happen to be anime. To suggest that anime is corrupting children's mind. How is what I want to ask. I was brought up in an environment with anime a form of entertainment, something I watch after school for a while. Do you see me go off and become a murderer, thief, pedophile, rapist, or any other immoral being that those people suggest that kids will become if they watch anime? If that's what anime do to people then I should become one too. But I am normal, I have my standard of moral. I don't do drugs, I don't mug people, I don't look at dirty magazines, I don't even like using swear words. I can pass off as a good, clean Christian girl if I wanted to. And I watch anime! For someone to actually think that 'evil' can come from anime, you're very very and very narrow-minded and intolerant. What you should do is either get to know Japanese culture (or any other culture) and anime better. And if you don't think you need to (more likely don't want to), then you really should be quiet. Don't try to ruin other people's fun just because you don't like the same form of entertainment. If you think that everyone should read the Bible everyone day, that's fine, that's your opinion. I don't think like that, but I won't go around the sign a petition to get rid of the Bible just because I don't enjoy reading it as much as you do. In another word, don't try to tell other people w
We live in a country which celebrates both freedom of speech and separation of church and state. If one person feels like the people's morality is declining, too bad. Morality needs to be taught by parents and the clergy, not by any formal government. We don't need another Hayes Commission.Let anime continue to exist here. You don't have a right to ban something like this.
That's Horrible,why pick on anime?!There's more things to pick on than anime!Like drugs or gangs.But they wouldn't dare take anime off unless it gets really boring.Well,I don't really mind the anime that I watch on tv,it's the others I'm concerned about,like Saiyuki and Ah!My Goddess,the anime you can rent on DVD,since there's a petition of banning anime and Manga off of America,people with it will get arrested and go to jail.Sure,it's pretty stupid,but that lady that started the petition,she was only picking on Ah!My Goddess and Love Hina,and then she quickily presumes that all anime are all like that.Sure,that's being ignorant,but what really ticked me off was that she was being racism to Japan,calling the country filithy and lowly and saying America is the best.Really makes me mad.Well,has nothing to do with this so forget my babbling ._.;
save anime! all of them!! sailor moon, yu yu hakusho, inuyasha, Trigun, full metal alchemist, kiddy grade, spiral, case closed, bleach! save them all!! and air them too!
Oh....My...GodThey would be so stupid to not let anime on TV anymore. Anime takes up half the schedules of some channels. Plus a lot of Anime fans would probably rebel...that won't be pretty. I also want Anime to stay on TV because I love it!!
I'm Gohan from Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. And I don't like the fact that Anime is being banned from telivision...especially my show! If I was real right now I''d throw a Masenko at Bush! My dad (Goku) is so bored right now that his lacking his fighting spirit now and does nothing the whole day but just sit down, eat and watch TV. His muscles are turning flat! So fans of me or Dragon Ball Z, HELP SAVE ANIME AND MY DAD!!! Your the only hope, people of the Earth on saving anime and Dragon Ball Z.
I wanna punch this lady in her face!!! What's wrong with her? If she has a problem with anime of any kind she needs to keep it to her self. Bush's daddy has talked to me via mail be fore. Even though he done stuff that really doesn't make since he would get rid of it. Anime is a source of relaxation. Most kids and teenagers can relate to them. Why the hell do you think it's so popular? If this was to pass lots of companys, radio stations, and buisnesess would close. That means a lot less money could circulate. And you know bush loves money, so this can't happen.
How retarded is this?? How the hell can anime be EVIL???? Not to mention she sounds really racist. I mean, come on. Alot of them even teach the really small children stuff. Do you think they're gonna want to sit threw something boring and serious at a really young age? No. OHHH, BARNEY, HOW EVIL. If she wants to be an idiot and do stupid racist crap just to piss a bunch of people off then she should keep it to herself. How stupid, not to mention that we're in the middle of a war, like the president doesn't have more important things to do than to satisfy idiotic drug attics like her. Anime has been around longer than she has. What the hell is wrong with this women??????
THEY CANNOT BAN ANIME! IT'S NOT RIGHT! Besides.. It'd be on youtube still, but it wouldn't be very good, and people wouldn't get the english version anymore! I mean, what's wrong with anime? Most of it is Cartoons for teens who are too old for those other cartoons! If they wanna ban something bad, then something like Saul of the Molemen or something like that would be a good alternative!
Anime is one of the reasons I'm this happy and ALIVE! It should stay! it will stay! When it gets taken off by whoever for good and whatnot they'll be responsible for my death!
why would anybody be so mean as to take away my only reason to live. come on Anime is the best, of course manga is just as good but i don't want to have to read. watching is so much better.
Ridiculous.It's all RIDICULOUS.I abhor the thought of anime never crossing the sea to our country. Anime inspired many American TV shows. And there are worse LEGAL things on TV than anime.
It is not right for adults to decide what childeren like. Its not only a tv show for some teenagers, it is a passion! And what right does this person have to ban anime from america. And when t this person called anime garbage from japan that would piss off all of my friends. And u see anime is what brought our group of friends togeteher. Also one of my friends made a point about anime, its just gonna get smuggled in anyway, theres no stopping it.
ANIME IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE WORLD!! THAT LETTER THAT CRAZY LADY SENT IS TOTTALLY ALL A LIE!! THATS A BUNCH OF CRAP!! ANIME KEEPS MOST PPL FROM TURNING INTO CRAZY SADISTIC STALKERS!!!
There is nothing wrong with anime. If you want to get rid of anime, why don't you take off the other cartoon shows as well? There are not a lot of differences between cartoons and anime.
Anime isn't bad, and it's legal for us to have it. Who ever has it in their sick minds that anime should be ban might as well ban all forms of fantasy and entertainment. Say no to banning anime!
Here's a comment to read.IF you baan Anime or like..cartoons. how are kids to learn?What...watch Elmo elmo the rest of their life?Anime also builds character no?=/ okies..well..I guess...I'm done.[could say more but might blow]
They will not take the first thing I ever really felt committed to! I discovered manga in the 7th grade, and then I learned of it's tv counter-part, anime. If they take anime, then they have just as much right to ban manga, and I will do everything in my power to stop them!
I cant stand this letter!!! If I typed all the things that the person that sent this to the presedent was wrong about, i would eventually break my keyboard.First off, since when is Japan dark and evil?! And, she listed two animes! 2 anime out of like millions!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrr.....
We won't let the them do this!! I've circulated this letter through a popular anime site, Theotaku.com, and my friends are circulating it through Gaiaonline.com, and Myspace.com. He can't do this. We'll sick the fangirls on him. But don't worry, what they're trying to do is against the first amendment, so they won't be able to do this, by LAW. I support anime, and will not let it be banned. No matter what!!! Keep anime alive!!!!
