Is anyone else horrified by the things they used to watch or read as a child? And I don't mean adult media that you experienced by chance but child media clearly marked for children. I wasn't even 10 years old when I was watching stuff like cardcaptor sakura or shugo chara. Both of those series have some really bizarre elements (especially cardcaptor manga). Cardcaptor is basically criminal relationships simulator. How anyone even allowed for sakura's dad to not be behind the bars or what clamp obsession with making everyone related and in love? I recently read rg veda by clamp and I could excuse this type of relationships there because it was clearly inspired by mythology and for older readers but cardcaptor sakura is clearly for children.
With shugo chara it is really bizarre how there's self aware jokes about how amu and ikuto relationship is weird but still why amu and ikuto can't be two grades apart. Why can't she be 13 and he 14 year old (make amu from January and ikuto from December or something like that).
I don't know why I randomly thought about those staffs now. But I guess some adult back then were partially right about some anime.
