 since Japanese animation is a medium used to show a wide range of styles such as horror, sci fi, romance, comedy, drama, adventure, etc., some anime may not be appropriate for younger viewers. We try to show all types of anime. Some can be classified as cute kiddie-fare (often hysterical when viewed with the right crowd) and others are more mature oriented, may involve extreme violence, and/or controversial subject matter. The anime we show is not pre-screened, so often we never know if a particular title will show nudity or adult situations. We just warn viewers to prepare for something like that, and if a show may be too gratuitous for some people, we ask that they step out until the show is over. We try to find the right balance of all the different types of anime, and try our best not to offend anyone with showing too much of one type. We do have some families who attend from time to time and we try to include family-oriented titles usually at the first half of our meeting. More mature anime are shown in the later half. |
