Sup Sup Forums, it's been a long ass time since I've been here and I'm about to become a father.
I'm planning on showing Omae Umasou da na, Little Witch Acadamia, The Cat Returns, Unico and Wolf Children to my kid, but is it a good idea to raise a kid on Anime? I don't want them to make the same mistakes I did.
Henry Johnson
You'd probably be better off getting into kickboxing or stamp collecting or something, I dunno. Choose a productive hobby.
Gavin Price
Unico is a good choice. I would have loved that movie as a kid
Camden Roberts
It's just movies, man. There's nothing wrong with watching some comfy anime films together as a family on a Sunday night. Or at least, I'm hoping it isn't a slippery slope.
Jayden Lewis
Show them Ghibli stuff and see if they like it. Then do the less mainstream stuff. I don't think raising a kid on anime is different from parents who raise children on other niche hobbies (sci-fi/fantasy mostly). Just don't force them to watch if they aren't interested. In the end it's more important to be a reliable, supportive parent than a cool nerdy one. But of course you know this already.
Ryder Jenkins
Thanks, man. I wonder if there are any 80s-90s shows that are really good for kids that I can't remember.
Dominic Green
Fucking kill yourself all of you cancer normalfags trash.
Go rape your daughter or something and fuck off.

>letting your children watch chinese cartoons
why don't you teach them something useful so they won't end up like you
Charles King
If I give you a (You) will you feel better about yourself?
Jordan Hernandez
No.
Stop polluting this board with your normalfaggotry.
Lucas Reyes
Stay away from autism inducing shows like Naruto and harem stuff. Old Toonami lineup is probably ok.
Aiden Richardson
But why'd you post a picture of this bitch? Please don't tell me you're going to name your kid after her.
Colton Foster
I'm still on-topic, you might feel a lot better if you browsed one of the anime generals on /r9k/.

How is this Sup Forums related?
Brandon Evans
Anyone else here going to name their daughter Lain?
Adrian Rodriguez
>3DPD ever
Fuck off and kill yourself.

It invokes the general question discussing if Anime in general is a healthy medium to be subjugated to in general, there's a lot of potential discussion to this question between objectively good movies like Omae Umasou da na.

Charles Gray
If I ever have kids, I'm going to give them all Tomino tier names.
Ayden King

Levi Rodriguez
I'm not the OP but I would argue that certain shows are, in fact, "healthy" to watch. Mostly Ghibli movies and older shows that don't have the kind of fanservice for manchildren that we know and love.
As long as a child is taught to distinguish reality from fiction, there's nothing wrong with introducing them to anime meant for their age. The only thing to keep in mind that cultural values are not analogous between the Japan and the West so telling everyone that your kid watches anime is not something to be proud of. If anything you might get the state called for perversion of a minor because normalfags are intolerant and uninformed. You have to be wary of the kid spreading it around, too. "Me and my parents watch anime every weekend!" might send some busybody off into a tizzy and you'll have a mess on your hands even though your kid has never seen a sex scene or ultraviolence.
Eli Scott
Too big of a risk if they don't pick up on that tough lesson about reality, many adults never even pick it up. It might be a better idea to just teach them to hate anime from the getgo to avoid a long term problem.
Lucas Parker
She did nothing wrong.
Owen Morgan
Blogshit goes on /soc/ and /adv/, now fuck off, cancer.
Jose Powell
Show your kid Doremi, it's the best children's media to come out of japan.
Joseph Robinson
Go back to your generals, you are the cancer.
Jacob Martinez
>anyone who tells me to fuck off must like [other bad threads] Again, fuck off.
Isaiah Smith
I don't think you understand what a general is.
Justin Myers
I have literally no idea how you'd get that impression. Generals fall under the heading of other bad threads. You're randomly deciding that I support other shit threads because I'm shitting on your shit thread. That's retarded.

Jacob Miller
Kids where raised on anime in the 80s in a few European countries.
For example things like Ranma 1/2, Grendizer, Captain Tsubasa, Creamy Mami, Nadia or even City Hunter were broadcasted for kids in France.
Noah Hernandez
Make sure he doesn't find your hentai. I found like 3 secs of a bath scene (The rest of it was taped over by some family videos) VHS, and it helped me b the man I am now.
