So they should use that argument and not blame an anime. But it is a different court system so who knows...
I think that most of them do care, it's just that the parents lives are so filled with problems they don't give enough attention to their kids. It's unintentional. |

I agree. Skull makes a valid point. Before 18 I think parents should know what their kids are looking at, simply by asking the kids. After 18 it is not the parents responsibility. They can say something, but it out of their hands.
I think kids and parents need to know that anime is just entertainment. This may sound stupid, but some people still don't know. One crazy fan should not represent anime fans as a whole. I am sure most creators (including myself) will re-evaluate the way they present their work. This will not go away. Ranmah |

For your information I already knew that. And by the way, I agree that you should make people aware of contents of some song and movie (hey what the movie ratings are for) but it cannot be applied to all songs and anime series (I mean you don't suppose that there must be sticker that says "Warning: Sad Anime! with "apocalyptic elements", do you?). |

Gatsu's been asked not to discuss the topic of Evangelion any more, so it's not really fair to ask him about it, now is it?

Manson never said he killed anybody because of a cool Beatles song. He stated that one of his "family" wrote (and mispelled) the song title on the wall in a fit of enthusiasm. Not because the song inspired the killings, but because she really liked the song.

I didn't know about that (haven't read all the replies to this thread). By the way I don't think that Gatsu should be prevented from posting in this forum. Just because the majority of us diagrees with him it still doesen't mean he should stop posting. Just my 50 yens. |

I would just like to reiterate an important point that I see a lot of people might be missing.
The defendant is not using Evangelion as a scapegoat for the murder. The prosecution is using the influence of Evangelion as a major point in their case against the defendant. There's a world of difference there. Syker Seven |

That's the wierd part. Why the heck would they do that? Makes me wonder if they are lacking a good case and searching for anything they can possibly use. Throwing everything about the anime itself aside, using the series as part of the prosecution seems.. well, silly. Does that mean they are lacking good evidence? I mean, if there is a good package of evidence, establishment of motive is a bit less important, |

That seemed really strange to me, too, Dave.
But remember, this is a completely different legal system at work, there might be a very good reason. Or maybe someone's building presedence to use against something else *shrugs* I dunno. |

the article was reporting by the mainichi, and they're basically about as reliable as any tabloid in the states. i've heard them write about mother having sex with their kids as a reward for good test scores.... obviously this whole evangelion thing isnt something i would believe too easily unless i saw it reported by another paper. ANN should really check their sources before posting ...

I'm wondering where you have proof that this doesn't happen. Because that's the only way you would be able to prove your point about the Mainichi being a bad paper. |
