See, this is one reason why I honstly hate some people.
I mean, first off, with FLCL on CN, I didn't see ANY of that, and I watched every ep. Nudity? Hell no. It showed some suggestive stuff, nothing thats actual nudity. I saw blood. But thats fine to ANYONE, and if it wasn't to that mom, I guess she's never been on her period. Oh, and then the violence? God, what does she consider violence?I never saw anything that could EVER be "extreme" violence. I saw a few baseball bat hits, a few times getting ran over by scooters, crap like that. Nothing that violent. And THEN, there's the fact of me always asking..."Did you realise that Loony Toons still to this day has the worst violence I've ever seen in much of anything? I mean, sure, it didn't have gore, but for lord's sakes, if anything is gonna "de-sensitise" kids, its Loony Toons. But besides that- this is ANIME. THIS IS NOT A FRICKIN CARTOON. ANIME IS *USUALLY* MADE FOR ADULTS. NOT FOR KIDS WHOSE PARENTS ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO LET THEM STAY UP TILL 1 AM. BECAUSE THATS PRETTY STUPID. PG is a perfectly fine rating for what they had...
While I don't really like anime and have never watched the show in it's entirety, so I wouldn't normally "defend" it against stuff like this, but arraghagh it just makes me angry when people show such blatant ignorance. It's a show on at <i><b>MIDNIGHT</b></i> airing on a segment called <b><i><u>ADULT SWIM</u></i></b>.
HOW CAN YOU LET YOUR CHILDREN WATCH SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

A thought just struck me, this lady isn't angry because the violence/nudity exist by themseves, she's angry because the rating was off, thus keeping her auto-blocking-thingy to let her TV show it, and thus FORCING HER TO PAREN instead of letting her TV do it for her. That doesn't just pertray ignorance, but laziness.

The violence might not have been that "mild".

On topic:

By now EVERYONE should know not to trust the ratings system.
