Japanese Schoolchildren to be Tagged with RFID

Posted by timothy on from the hey-those-things-are-out-of-season dept.

    In Japan, anime is a children's cartoon genre.

    Only American otaku provide the respect and adoration for this mature, adult art form; everyone else gets it.

    Generally the monsters that have the long, umm, probing tentacles aren't present in the children's shows in quite the same way.

    I think what you meant to say is that they're usually not present in the children.
