Adapting anime for a new feminist millennium

I have mixed feelings about anime. On the one hand, it's nice to see the influence of east-Asian art in American popular culture for a change (perhaps as retribution for what we did to Japanese folk music with disco). On the other hand, anime (especially manga) has historically been no better than pornography: it systematically dissects women into their component anatomical parts, except they're just fictionaly women. Now, this may be changing with the times, and there is a new crop of feminist apologists who'll tell you there's nothing wrong, that it is no more degrading to women than to men and that people of all genders are avid consumers. But again, to draw an analogy to pornography, it may just be that women are starting to internalize oppression.
There's nothing inherently wrong with the medium; just in how it's been realized and implemented. If only people were more aware of the intrinsic relationship between art and effects on society as a whole, then we might be a little slower to choose to make that buck at the expense of our common weal.

I just checked it out and their are no animaniacs to be found. I thought this would be cool spoof using the characters from the animaniacs but all I got was a lousy animeish samurai thing....
