that's everyone Locke... unless.. >.> ... <.<... poeple here loose interest in anime... NOooooooooo!!!!!! May it never be!!!!!!!!
The reason i started this thread is cause in a world where most parents are like "ewww. Anime is evil!" it's refreshing to have parents who actually watch some anime and have favorite characters!
You guys rock. Srsly, you do.

I guess I'll be the first mom to post. ^_____^ Thanks, Linksquest for the appreciation. I think there are two other moms here.
We love you kids here at CAA, also.
We love you kids here at CAA, also.
[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

No comment.
Did you notice that almost no anime characters have both parents still alive?

That's cause they were too awsome for their pantalones. They would have roxxored the enemies to death. Obviously. n_~.
Serena had both of her "parents" in Sailor Moon. Though her real mother died... but they never mentioned The KING of the moon... o_O! Weiiiird... i just noticed that...

I do appreciate the older members of CAA as well. Not so much because you are parents, but because of the years of experience that you bring to the forums, in addition to a decidedly different vantage point on life. At times that it quite refreshing.
I can think of a few other ways that wouldn't include everyone.

<<What about "future" anime parents?>>
Hmm. Wonder if I can twist this to include me and my dear. XD Nah, I'm not even gonna try.
I wish my mom would join CAA. She likes a couple anime, but the ones she likes are good ones. Wolf's Rain, Azumanga Daioh, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex... But on the other hand, I posess rather a different personality on the internet, because I'm not limited by my shyness. ^^;; It might be a bit embarassing.

You're right, they didn't. And I wish they had. Because the lack of mention of the King during the Silver Millennium has led to HUNDREDS of bad fanfics trying to explain who he was.

The Straight and Narrow
I chose to walk the straight and narrow road, but one day I lost balance and fell off it. I had fallen onto some sharp rocks and injured myself. There were people passing by who would merely stare at me, and then keep walking. Thoughts of worthlessness entered into my mind, and as I chose to believe the lies, my wounds grew worse. I was so overcome with grief that I nearly gave up... but then a man walked up to me and stopped. Without saying a word, he started to wrap my wounds, he gave me some water, and then lifted me up and embraced me. He then whispered these words into my ear, "I love you my child." As he said those words I could feel all the worthlessness and despair fall away. He then held out his hands. They had huge holes in them. He then said, "Walk with me." I then took his hand and we walked together. Every now and then I would fall from the road, but no matter where I fell, he was always there to pick me up and tell me that He loved me.

Guess I qualify. I've been an anime parent for ... let's see ... about 2 or 3 years. My 'children' discovered anime and manga AFTER high school. In fact, after homeschool / high school. I have 4 children, but only 2 are fans, one of which is also a member of CAA.
From my limited experience, I see that anime is not limited to G rated. It requires careful consideration when choosing rentals, or purchases. Anime has been a hidden and very different animated film & comic book type -- it seems to me in America, until recently. It is becoming mainstream or will, I believe. I'm not sure that is good, but the quality and commitment leaves American animation in the dirt -- so maybe it will ultimately influence American for the good.
I am very taken with the beauty of much of the anime I have seen. But the story lines are sometimes vague to me (partly because of the cultural differences), but can be very meaningful. Certainly this does not apply to all, or even most. My son is very knowledgeable and is willing to help Mom to understand, fortunately.
My first exposure was LAIN which I was able to catch on TV, partly because I was very much into the computer, and a sci-fi fan. It was very dark and I didn't like the suicide references, but I really enjoyed it. (That is why I chose Lain for my avatar.)
I have since found that these antimated films can pack a wallop in entertainment and thought provoking themes.
I like Manga, but less. Why? The stories have lacked any real thought provoking themes. I read several of the first volumes of Kodocha and liked it. But as I read other stories, the storyline has not varied more than slightly. But then I am unwilling to delve into the more mature stories. Wholesomeness is important to me.
I am still learning about this wonderful Japanese art form. The history of it is fascinating.

my favorite scripture:
"I don't want your sacrifices---I want your love; I don't want your offerings---I want you to know me." Hosea 6:6 (Living Bible)
The reason I love this is because it reminds me that
our God is a personal God. He wants a personal relationship with us.
Not duty prayer, but openness and true communication.

I think you'll find that most anime came from a manga, and that the manga versions are usually comparable. As with anime, there is a wide variety. You have stated one of the things I find most disappointing in some stories (static storylines), but I think you'll find that many manga (even excluding "mature" ones) have deep or at least involving storylines.

Even though I'm as old or maybe older as some of the Anime Parents I am
not one myself because of the fact that I haven't been introduced to
Miss Right as yet.
I am however an Anime Cat Owner(ok so my Tiger doesn't watch anime,still I am a Anime fan who owns a cat!
).
At least from my expierence when I do have children I will be able to know
what anime to guide them to watch.
Er...I should say when I find Miss Right(ok I could break in here with
a pun about the fact that my 5x's great grandfather George Washington
of Surry co.,Va. eventually found Miss WRIGHT,but I will refrain from bad
genealogical puns! )and we have our children..

Yes, I would agree. When I first got my hands on manga, I read non-stop. It drew me in. I was very surprised.

^^ Yeah, it's cool to see parents who are into things that other adults may find 'kiddy'. Plus, I always like hearing what adults have to say about certain trouble-areas in anime, too. ^_^
