Anime Clubs In Arkansas

As of yet I haven't found any anime clubs in Arkansas, but I will keep you posted.

Also if anyone knows of any please leave a comment. It will be much appreciated.

G rated Anime

I believe that one of the main reasons that anime is not so popular in Arkansas is that so many people think it is inappropriate for children and thus they categorize it as "ADULT". Anyone whose watched anime can probably understand where this idea could come from, however we anime fans know that like movies and everyday t.v.shows anime has many different genres and can be as innocent as a hamster.
To prove my point I've come up with the following list.

Please Note: I advise that parents should view these titles before allowing there children to watch just in case they have objections to any of the content and feel it is unsuitable for their children.

Anime For Children

"Girls"                                                        " Boys"
Card Captors(North American Edit)             Yu-gi-oh

Wedding Peach                                            Digimon

Saint Tail                                                      Pokemon

Hime-chan no Ribbon                                   Tranformers

Hamtaro                                                       Macross

Let me know what you think about my list by leaving a comment.

I started this blog in the hopes that anime fans in Arkansas would have something that they could share online.

I'll slowly come up with updates.
Please have patience.
Thank you.
