Do you have a child who is obsessed with anime? Are you freaking out? Or maybe you just want to know what all the hype is about. What is anime? Is it dangerous? If so, how can I protect my kids? Is there any way to safely enjoy anime?
Anime. Suddenly it's everywhere. All the kids are talking about it. All the parents are scratching their heads about it. And many families have sent us horror stories because they didn't know what they were getting into, and their kids have been traumatized in its wake.

Is anime evil? Is it safe? Should we be worried about this craze permeating the upcoming generation? Tune in to the podcast and we'll figure it out together!
