Yes, they're at it again. The Daily Mail have taken their crusade against all things they don't understand by condemning the decision to put Japanese Manga in schools.
The books are vetted by the School's councils, but the Mail once again shows their ignorance of everything by not undertanding the difference between comic books and Japanese Manga.
Only a fool would suggest that reading an adaption of Spirited Away (to give a well known example) would lead to 'harder' material which is often read by adults in Japan. It would be like suggesting children shouldn't read books, in case it gets them involved in horror or porn based reading material, or not watching Bambi on video, because it will eventually lead the kids to something by Ron Jeremy.
Daily Mail, well done, you've done it again...

Exactly.
Page one is some sort of horror story about how Britain no longer speaks English, is poor, is now completely Asian/Black, then pages 2/3/4 are full of celebrity sh*te.

Yes, that always happens in Japanese stuff - loads of games, too.
It's all good and cool, and then something mutates into a hideous mass of writhing tenicles and gloop - and someone usually ends up inside it.
My poor English head.

If it made sense, it wouldn't be anime.
We was analysing a Daily Star editorial in English today from about 11 years ago. Then the teacher asked who agreed with it. Nearly everyone put their hand up. Then he asked who disagreed with it. I put my hand up... Then he called me gay.
That's about as interesting as my day got... Carry on.

I think it goes in cycles, one week Immigrants are secretly destroying the country and civilisation as we know it, the next videogames are warping our kids minds, next some new disease that will kill us all and then finally a 'lucky dip' item which they will turn their ignorance to.
Got to love them really
