That's what I say, though Bart had a problem with the nudity (not the violence) when I showed him the link.
So I think he is prude. Btw, Elfenlied is awesome, but Mnemosyne is even better!
(Mnemosyne might be considered lolicon which might be illegal... And Elfen Lied is X-Rated ;))

America won't even allow the Eva Mendes pictures from Calvin Klein's new add because "she's too exposed"

Lolicon is just fucking wrong..
-.-
Aussie Law wrote:All sexualised depictions of children under the age of 16 (or who appear to be under that age) are illegal in Australia, and there is a 'zero-tolerance' policy in place, which covers purely fictional children as well as real children.[42]

In August 2007, an Australian was sentenced to pay an AUD $9,000 fine for attempting to import eight DVDs of Japanese anime found to contain pornographic depictions of children and 14 found to contain depictions of sexual violence. No images of real children were involved. "Customs National Manager Investigations, Richard Janeczko, said that it was important to understand that even cartoons or drawings such as those depicted in anime were prohibited if they contained offensive sexual content."[43]

EDIT:

I have to say ..
Any anime that is detailed in all ranges like most japanese animes these days are..
The ones that include the relationships/sex/violence/gore etc...
Are in my books 10/10 most the time

EDIT2: Can someone split this thread into an anime thread..? or wateva :)

Most Americans I have seen don't care about nudity, so it's probably just me.

Firstly, you must understand that I have no interest in either gender, so I don't care for it.

Secondly, I'm a Christian, and that pushes it so that I don't like it.

Thirdly, I'm an American, so as I was being raised, I was taught it was wrong, and I have kept thinking of it that way.
