According to them, this attracts the attention of young people, which makes them violent. The curious thing is that they have no idea what they are talking about since they mentioned Naruto as a ”Chinese cartoon”.

”These cartoons are strange, they sell killing and blood. My grandson was watching one of these cartoons and I couldn’t believe what I saw, it was all blood and killing people, crazy.”

Someone asks who Naruto is and they reply: ”I don’t know who Naruto is, it’s a character, it’s from Dragon Ball. There is a character called Itachi, my son gave that name to a puppy I adopted. I asked my son, Is Itachi a television brand? And he told me that Itachi is a character”, one of the announcers replies: ”It must be a subliminal message for the Chinese brand, because Itachi is equal to kawasaki”

This case generated a lot of comments online, shall we take a look?

”With that same level of analysis (the three maintained that Naruto was something from Dragon Ball, and that anime is Chinese, as well as samurai) They analyze the country for you”

”I understand that the announcers are old men who find it interesting to sit and watch 1 episode of anime and get carried away by a random gore scene… But crazy! A tremendous lack of general culture, not knowing how to differentiate Chinese culture from Japanese”

”They’re 20 years behind on this issue, right?”

”How easy it is to speak without knowing it and how dangerous it is to do so in a medium that can reach many people thinking they are speaking the truth”

”That they don’t find out about Berserk or if they aren’t surprised”

”Anime promotes violence” is a very old topic. Many have already complained about the beating in Dragon Ball where in reality there is no problem. It all boils down to misguided thinking.
