Safe Anime?

The 90's do disappear, but in my case, they were replaced by an 85, so that's not bad. Japanese was definitely a booster - got a 95 in it.

My parents are thinking of moving to Ottawa, and I'm still considering whether to try and transfer there. So, for all you know, I may be a student at either UO or Carleton next year

No, I'm not trying to intimidate you...

plus, the Bebop manga (both original and Shooting Star) could work (a bit of swearing, and some violence, but otherwise good)

Yeah and that transvestite that Spike meets in prison....

There's an ad by ADV in September's Newtype for both the Full Metal Panic and Azumanga Daioh manga (although I'm not sure if it's the same compilation you're referring to). The Full Metal Panic manga is already out, so I'd assume Azumanga will also be out pretty soon.

Well then, there you go. Definitely Azumanga Daioh.

The compilation I'm referring to is a four-volume set, as I recall.

Oh man...forgot about that chapter...(not to mention the inspection *shudders*)

OK...if you want to skip that one, vols 2 and 3 are still safe (safe within these perimeters anyways)

*slaps forehead, realizes she's got Shonen Jump sitting on her shelf* I'm not sure if they've got it all released or not, but I enjoy Shaman King, and thus far it's pretty clean. And I think they're finally going to start releasing Kenshin manga. (Shonen Jump's running One Piece right now, which is what brought it up)

Actually, now that they're releasing Shonen Jump in the US, you might want to see if you can just get that magazine, at least in periodicals.

My local library stocks some limited manga stuff, and I think the intention was that it be 'harmless' things (such as Ironfist Chinmi) and what have you, but I was slightly put off of this notion by the presence of Crying Freeman

Card Captor Sakura?

The show that has:

A) A cousin who loves her other cousin (to the point of obsession).
1) The cousins are less than 10 years old.
2) Both are female (i.e. homosexual).
3) She films the other cousin and watches the tapes by herself.

B) A teacher dating his student.
1) The student is less than 10 years old.
2) It's apparent this relationship might be sexual.

C) Another teacher that had sex with her student.
1) The student was in middle school and less than 15 years old.

D) The main character's love interest is a guy who is 2x her age.
1) And is having relations with her brother (i.e. homosexual).

E) A show about pedophelia.
1) CCS was ranked the #1 show among men over the age of 30 in Japan.
2) Do you mean to tell me that you really think all this (above) is really all innocent and cute?
3) This is CLAMP we're talking about. They're known to have issues.

My suggestion would be anything from studio Ghibli other than Mononoke Hime since that has some violence. Namely Totoro, Laputa, Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service.

That's why Clamp is the BEST. They can make anything CUTE in ANY situation (even the charaters from X looked cute).
