Once, my mom and little sister sat through an episode of Rurouni Kenshin with me, and my mom really liked it. My dad would probably be watching Fullmetal Alchemist with me too, but he's always busy and goes to bed before it's on.

Let me know if you have any suggestions on information you'd like to see added to the FAQ!

Anime is very cult and my dad understands cult.

A: The most accurate way to make that decision is to preview the content yourself. And -- don't make assumptions based on one or two episodes of a series, because some episodes may contain objectionable content while others do not.
Sorry Mike, I'm just trying to figure out what you mean by that?

When I told my mom I wanted to buy a couple of Ruroken DVDs, she asked why I wanted to buy something so "juvenille." O.o XD I had to explain that anime wasn't for children, even though children watch it a lot.
