I never said that Ranma couldn't be understood by kids (12 and under). I just meant that the audience is more geared towards teens. I just don't think that most kids would be all that interested in the story.

And kids could enjoy Slayers, I just get the impression that it's geared more towards teens. Kids could enjoy the Simpsons, and Friends, but that doesn't mean that the show is aimed towards them.
Currently watching: Sailor Moon S movie

Hmmm. That makes more sense. So in the end I'm going to go ahead and agree that anime can be aimed towards teens. I don't think that many anime (aisde for, like I said, porn and maybe some more dramatic stuff) aretargeted for an adult audience.

It depends, I guess, an anime that was ment to be for kids in Japan, could be a Teen's anime over here and US etc, Because of different cultures, acceptence, etc.

As for 4kids, i like Tokyo Mew Mew a lot!!!! But the English version sucks even more than the English version of Sailor Moon, it just makes NO sense sometimes and the music is CRAP......
