The violent content of this anime is not a problem. The problem is the fact that it is marketed directly to very young children. It doesn't matter that it airs relatively late in the evening, the characters are plastered all over packages for snacks, kids' drinks, furikake, kids' study materials, etc. My 3-year-old daughter knows all the characters even though she's never seen the anime or the manga. Maybe the marketing is not something the government should be regulating, but the companies that help get little kids hooked on a show filled with bloody violence should be called out by parents/in the media.

Food at the Reserve Roastery is excellent, far better than regular 'Bucks. No doubt in my mind this is better than most Italian restaurants in this country.
