A while back I made a request about animes that would intrest me. but now I would like to make a new, more spacific request.
I would like to find animes that are like Hamtaro: ones with absolutely no language, no blood, and no sexual imagrey, inuendos, and context.
Basicly, can anyone tell me if Anime has their own equivalent to a PBS show? because after running into nothing but high V-Chip rated shows on Netflix. I would like to finnaly see the other end of the spectrum.
Also, I have noticed that Japan has Live-Action shows, as well as Anime, but unlike older American movies, I have yet to see a show with the 2 mixed together (like Marry Poppins or Mr. Limpet).
Can anyone help out there as well?

Non Alien by Jimmy Murakami. However, in general I get the feeling that this technique is very rare in Japan.
Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

I watch PBS all the time and I tell you, there mating and blood everywhere!

Darker Than Black series
Just finished watching and reading the manga series in chronological order. Really enjoyed the well animated action and the plot of the story. Enjoyed watching the character development
1) Darker Than Black: Black Contractor
2) Darker Than Black: Shikoku no Hana (manga)
3) Darker Than Black: Black Contractor Gaiden
4) Darker Than Black: Gemini of the Meteor
Any Darker Than Black fans out there?
ME!!!!!
Lol, I LOVE that series. Sadly, I was misinformed and watched it OUT of order Some sucker told me the movies in the middle didn't matter, so I skipped them. After watching the WHOLE second season, I realized they must be rather crucial and watched them. But, besides that, I ADORE that series. So good, and not popular enough. I'm glad someone else enjoyed it
Ps: Who was your favorite character?

If you've watched ep 24, you should have finished it. Unless you're asking about the second season which I didn't watch.
But from my memory of the first season (spoilers for the ending):
[spoiler]Ciel never becomes a "better person." Sebastian carries out his deal with Ciel to every crossed t in the contract, and it ends with him taking Ciel's soul. <-- that's sort of expanded on in second season which is not focused on Ciel and Sebastian, however.[/spoiler]
I did not like it, really at all. But that brand of demonic (as in, the word "demon" can mean multiple interpretations in fiction. The straight from Hell, servant of Satan demon definition, like Sebastian, creeps me out in a not good way) is something I just don't like. I finished the series for popularity's sake and since it was a favorite of a friend.
(and Darker Than Black is absolutely awesome, yep yep. )
I hope that helps somewhat.

I'm on episode 6, and so far it really hasn't drawn my attention the way Baccano! did, and I'm wondering if it's worth it, or if it's even similar to Baccano! at all? I've recognized the story-telling is similar (and I know it's the same author...) and definitely some elements are similar...but I was just wondering, does it get better than this? Also...does the content have much more blood/violence than Baccano! does, or is essentially the same? Cause I'm curious about recommending it to friends...
Please forgive me if this isn't the right place to ask this! XD

AdriantheSecond (post: 1509529) wrote:Hey, can anyone recommend some anime for an 11 year old boy? He likes fantasy stuff and stuff dealing with magic is okay, too. Not much for Sci-Fi or anything psychological/thriller type.
He can take blood, but no gore, please. Violence and stuff really isn't an issue, provided it isn't super-disturbing.
Language...eh, the general D***, H*** type words aren't going to hurt him, just provided it's not extremely frequent.
Sexual content is definitely a no-no...he can't take a lot of immodest women or fanservice. He's just hitting the age where he's beginning to understand boys liking girls and vice versa. And, definitely no crossdressers or stuff like that.
Right now, I've got him watching DN Angel (english dubbed) and he's REALLY enjoying it. So he's not necessarily against watching a 'girls anime' or so to speak.

Does anyone else know how bad the language is? If he likes airplanes, Area 88 is an EXTREMELY clean show from my recollection, and I watched that one pretty recently.
