Agree partially with kampfer but you forgot to add ….AWESOME MASTERPIECE: Rose of Versailles.

I would rather recommend the fantastic World Masterpiece Theater series which personally I love so much to Starcade (I grew up watching them after all), specially Akage no Anne, Trapp Ikka Monogatari and Little Women 1 and 2, unless you go as far as consider them against your…criteria just cause they focus on little girls and boys….

Oh, starcade, give it a rest. Go watch some Hokuto no Ken or Berusaiyu no Bara if you don’t like modern anime.

I think it has to start preventing certain animes from reaching America, and that would be a very good thing.

I think this is the first indication of the Handley case coming to fore. Sounds like we have more child porn to deal with. One of the reasons I’m not watching that much anime anymore…

It makes sense for Funimation to stream the edited versions online for free and charge for the unedited version on dvd, which is a common sales tactic in Japan.

I hope that the outcome of the Handley case doesn’t prevent any anime from reaching America. If the bar for obscenity keeps dropping then I would worry what would happen when the federal prosecutors would watch Kare Kano, End of Evangelion, or Code Geass and realize that (fictional) minors are depicted engaging in sex acts for entertainment (audible gasp)!
