This is a warning for parents that either watch anime or have kids that watch anime.\u00a0 You have to watch what you allow them to be exposed to.\u00a0 I like anime as well as manga.\u00a0 It’s easy as the two media are sources for each other.\u00a0 One anime and manga I enjoy is Sgt. Frog, or Keroro Gunso.\u00a0 I have some of the fansubs that were done before the series was licensed, and I was watching them.\u00a0 Well, my kids, as they are want to do, came over to see what I was watching.\u00a0 Then, they sat down and started watching it with me.\u00a0 Now, they come and get the discs from me, lock themselves up in their rooms and watch them over and over.<\/p>\n
But that wasn’t enough.\u00a0 They’ve also been searching the internet for Sgt. Frog; find episodes they haven’t seen on Youtube,\u00a0 playing videos also from Youtube in a continuous loop.\u00a0 They have found websites that let them make their own frog invaders like paper dolls.\u00a0 My oldest daughter is bringing home school papers with images of Keroro, Giroro and other characters drawn on them.\u00a0 Even her desktop wallpaper is covered with digital drawings she did!\u00a0 My younger daughter has been going around and laughing like on of the characters Sargent Major Kururu.\u00a0 She would have dressed as him for Halloween if there were costumes available!\u00a0 And her school papers are getting the Sgt Frog treatment too.\u00a0 It’s only a matter of time before their video games characters (such as the chao from the Sonic the Hedgehog series) start getting Sgt Frog names.<\/p>\n
So please, any parents out there, take heed of my warning!\u00a0 It’s not the shows with lots of violence or mature content that we need to protect our children from.\u00a0 It’s the ones that they will really enjoy that are the real danger!\u00a0 Otherwise, you too will have a son or daughter, walking around with their hand in front of their mouth going “Kuuu-ku-ku-ku-ku”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
