Disregarding h-stuff, there's still a lot of content that would make Western audiences uneasy.

For instance, a lot of characters in those fanservice-y situations are in the range of 15-18 years old. Well, they're in senior high school, as far as I know.
(Their bodies say otherwise.)

I've not only seen some of the more racey stuff that most American censors would blow a head gasket over I've got a pretty good understanding of it. I'm not deep into anime but I know the concepts. I've seen a few shows on Japan culture and it's always a bit interesting to say the least.

Many of those things are actually more adult in nature but the people who wanted to make money by mainstreaming it cleaned it up some. People's fashions are interesting. I remember going on a cruise some years ago and a group of four cute Japanese girls were on the ship. We got off on the north coast of Jamaica as the stopover and I remember one of them wearing this short short summer dress that when she walked briskly you could see her white bloomers. I tell you, many a man had their jaws dropped when she walked by; I just laughed and chalked it up to the experience of seeing some of them wear short stuff like that on the regular.

I will admit that seeing pretty women in NYC, especially while having a crummy day, is a great momentary distraction.

Majority of comics and cartoons have an adult side. There are some that are specific to children (which bore adults to no end) but even Disney knows they need to have a broad audience. There's always that borderline.

Indeed. I watched some stuff back in the days that would make people's head spin in the west too. The Japanese culture, like many other places, has some interesting layers...

Agreed. That's why I used to watch my Anime when I was into that stuff in high school with subtitles, not those atrocious English dubs.

I just did a search because I couldn't remember but when I started working part time minimum wage was $4.55 for adults. Under $4 for part timers.

Since we're talking about more adult cartoons, have you ever seen the movie Heavy Metal or Rock and Rule? Heavy Metal was a lot more adult but both were adult in nature.

I don't think I've every seen that one. Must be worth checking out.

I will say I do have 2 CDs chock full with Anime in my house from my high school years. One series that killed me with the adult humor was the Excel Saga and the character Menchi...who was the pet that was the emergency food ration to be eaten in the most dire of straits. You just need to watch it to see how sarcastically wicked the humor is in that series. You know it is something different when they label it as "weird Anime".
