I mean shonen battle series are the most mainstream form of anime content and punching and blood is kind of a given. Like its 2023, if anyone is seriously complaining about anime violence, it’s a little silly. Especially if its tame compared to ultra violence series like Berserk, Gantz Blood+ |
You seemed to be saying that “people who don’t like violent anime shouldn’t watch any anime at all,” which is not fair, considering there are plenty of anime to watch if you don’t want to see any violence.

I hated when people say, "It's (insert current year), because it's not like we don't know what year you're in now.

It has been many, many years since I've heard about the antisemitism in Angel Cop (and full disclosure; I only watched the first ep when it first released in the US back in the mid-90s), but I recall the big bads in the series turned out to be a bunch of "jews" who were trying to take over Japan like they "took over the US". Back then it was rightly seen as horribly antisemitic, which is why the anime was altered to change that aspect in the US.
Anyone who had watched this series, feel free to say if I am wrong about this; after all, it has been nearly 30 years since I encountered Angel Cop.

lol that just seems funny, why arent they allowed to be the villians. Here i was thinking it was going to be actual nazi villians again. But i mean, any colour or any race should be allowed to be a villian. Just like if youre gonna fight it shouldnt matter what gender hits you. True equality,

To answer your last question, yes. A secret Jewish organisation plans to reduce Japan to lawlessness so they can take it over and turn it into the world's nuclear waste dump for profit. The way it's presented is vile and it's stupid. The plot could've been kept without the anti-Semitic layering.
The English dub is famous for different reasons.

If anyone's worried I can confirm the subtitles for Angel Cop on Crunchyroll are uncensored and it's not the censored version. Can't speak about the dub but I assume it's the old dub and not a new one so it's probably the same

So, again, did CR put a warning, in light of recent events?
