Yet, I’ve weirdly seen so many people trying to suggest both shows this season must have been funded by tobacco companies! It’s part of why I wrote this and dove a little deeper.

They don’t, they use mock brands. Which is the huge difference here.

My apologies, I didn’t know this kind of standard existed! I will do my best to include it in listings in the future. I have done my best to make a basic reminder for the event to watch Sukeban Deka and the future shojo anime watching. Thank you for teaching me about a new thing!

I admit, I do not understand the words you have typed in this exact order. I apologize for my lack of comprehension, but if I’m being asked to do something, I don’t know what it is.

Sigh, extremely rude of Lemmy! Thank you!

It seems like maybe they’ve had mascots before? Nothing on this level they’re trying to push for sure though.

It’s 100% real, she’s been animated and everything. Multiple news orgs are reporting on this.

I gotta be real, the article like… Basically had nothing to say other than “girls hot.” I had actually hoped there might be curious analysis or discussion, but then I saw it was J-List after clicking and stayed to see how bad it was. oof!

The second paragraph literally discusses creating a self care plan surrounding watching the movie. It links out to several studies by child psychologists and articles discussing watching scary/sad media with kids and how to do so. It shows examples of how kids are interacting with stories like this safely. It recommends showing kids things like this in safe environments so they don’t suddenly come to you broken and scared when horrors are thrust upon them when they are alone or unsupervised.

As a kid, I was “trolled” with fake links that sent me to beheading videos online. Tons of folks I know watched 9/11 happen live in their classrooms. Hell, the post talks about how pictures and videos from Gaza keep showing up on feeds on Instagram and TikTok. The whole point is parents should do that work and teach kids these skills and that it’s okay to ask for help if they run into an emotional brick wall BEFORE they hit the brick wall.

But this is why ya shouldn’t skim! Read deeply! (P.S. I wrote the post, I’m also literally a parent. If that matters to you.)

Ahem… The film is rated…

• USA: Not rated by the MPAA. Considered “suitable for all audiences” on the Central Park Media VHS release. TV-PG on the Sentai Filmworks release.
• Germany: 6+ (Apropriate for ages 6 and up.)
• France: Tous publics (General Audiences)
• India: U (Unrestricted public exhibition, suitable for all ages.)
• Hong Kong: Level 1 (Suitable for All Ages.)
• Canada: G and PG for Quebec and Manitoba respectively.
• Japan: G
• Saudi Arabia: PG
• Singapore: PG
• Italy: T (Recommended for persons of all age groups.)
• Taiwan: 0+ (Suitable for all ages)
• Netherlands: 9 (Ages 9 and up)
• Nigeria: PG

You’d know that if you read the post! Funnily enough, it also links out to an neat article discussing a study showing parents aren’t reading scary stories to their kids… And why that’s bad. Here it is just in case ya need it! Heck, on other bits of social media, I heard about schools showing kids the movie in 5th to 6th grade, in the US even!

You’d rather have kids do it when they’re supervised and have love and support then when it is suddenly thrust upon them with no warning, that’s for sure.

Read the whole post, give it a serious shake. It cites child psychological studies, shows how kids today are healthily handling stories like these in Japan, and even acknowledges secondary trauma and avoiding triggers for already traumatized people. There’s a lot of nuance when you get past the title.

This is so sweet of you to share my work like this, thank you! I’m also pretty excited for Season 2 of Tonbo! as it was a surprisingly touching tale emotionally, even with all the technical golf talk.
