To the advice-givers posting anonymously on this thread-

Why are you giving counsel anonymously? Why would anyone ever give counsel anonymously? Why should the person being advised be inclined to take any advice at all from someone not willing to put his name on it?

Two lily-livered anonymous milquetoasts, at least, have opted to forgo answering a few common sense questions in favor of simply registering their rankled, stupid, inarticulate dislike for those questions.

Congratulations, cowards. You've achieved the debating skills of a three-year-old.

Now, by all means, bring on the hit and run downthumbs and prove me right.

And there goes the pot calling the kettle black.  The worst part is that BTNYC actually think he has accomplished something with a post that is nothing more than ad hominem attacks.  In case he isn't aware, those types of statements are logical fallacies, that do not actually support one's argument.

You have me at a disadvantage, madam (or sir).

You address me by my poster name in your post, but I seem to be unable to put a name to your words. Please amend that oversight, that I might be able to know whom to thank for this charitable correction of my "fallacies."

You know, kettles and pots and all that...

I know (not personally) of a dogmatic "home alone" sede - a female - who uses that idiom "pot calling the kettle black", and variations of it, many times. I think it's her favorite saying. She used to be a Fb "friend" until she unfriended me. LOL. I wonder if it's her?

@ClarkSmith I think you are talking about Miyazaki. Miyazaki created meaningful works by observing people and the surroundings around him. At about the end of his career, he said that anime is mostly used to disconnect from reality these days and that's why the industry is dominated by "otakus", highly obsessive people who shut the world out of their lives (the word "otaku" is used in a negative meaning in Japan). Talking about Pokemon, I don't know whether Satoshi or other creators are involved in the Masonic conspiracy, but Nintendo is sure to be in the cabal as great companies usually have a Masonic secret. This, along with the isolation and later, the secularization of Japan are responsible for the occultic qualities of Pokemon.
The isolation also caused the retention of a naturalistic philosophy which led to more liberal television and movie ratings (they are the same since television ratings are not required in Japan). However, this does not mean that anime is anything worse than modern American cartoons. Watersheds still exist there and self-censorship is widely practiced in Japan. Also, Japan have retained some beneficial cultural values which appear in various Japanese products, regardless of belonging to mass culture or not and according to Metapedia, anime does not push multiculturalism.
Nevertheless, even the Japanese need to stop dabbling in the occult. I read that an exorcist had to deal with a child who was a fan of Pokemon and Harry Potter. So I think that being a Pokemon fan endorses not just occultism but false ecuмenism towards the native religions in Japan.
So, get some holy cards and if you are a man, enroll to a seminary. Maybe you have the potential of producing good fruit in Japan, who suffers from aging due to people escaping to the aforementioned dreamworld (which often involved porn and Platonic love in their case) instead of getting married and having children. Also, the Japanese are not keen on immigrants, so they are fighting hard to save their race.
The golden rule is that you should choose age-and faith-appropitate.
