Umm, I hate to break it to you, Bowen, but the dumbed-down crap that
they show on Cartoon Network is only a *tiny* fraction of all anime that
exists in the world. As I said in my previous analogy, anime in Japan is
just as big as Hollywood is in the states, if not bigger. The only
reason some of it makes it to the states in the first place is because a
bunch of advertising executives think that it'll sell merchandise. (i.e.
Pokemon, Dragonball, etc.)

So that's what I meant by "be adventurous". There's more to life than
Cartoon Network and Kids WB. Find your nearest Blockbuster and check out
the Sci-Fi section, or better yet, look up some fansubs of more current
anime. (if you don't mind reading subtitles)

As for the lack of culture, I guess I should rephrase that to "a lack of
wanting to learn more about the world around you." :P
