It's just a former of entertainment which allows it's creators to be expressive and come up with different arts styles that can be used in other media such as advertisement or fashion. I know there are parts some people don't agree with but why take away a person's choice of entertainment as long as NO LIVING PEOPLE OR ANIMALS are harmed or exploited in any way? I love anime and if I'm not trying to take shows like Jersey shore or keeping up with the kardashians off the air,why ban things I enjoy like anime or manga? Japan's laws of consent are different than ours so yes a lot of the characters are pretty young,but THEY ARE FICTIONAL DRAWINGS.can people watching pornographic drawings of fictional characters really be a good enough reason to also ban the ones which are NOT pornographic at all?
