As in previous posts, it's been stated that violence has escalated due to anime. I would just like to say that there's always been a debate about violence-inducing television or video games. It's always going to be out there. We could argue this point with people making Death Notes and then trying to remake Naruto moves. But, the anime or video game is not at fault it's the person. 'Guns don't kill people. People kill people.'
So we could really argue it both ways. Yes, the anime is what spurred the people into thinking such things were 'good' ideas; but, then again people also have common sense, though they very rarely use it. It's still there. Anime really isn't to blame--it's just easy to blame.
So, any other thoughts, post 'em in the comments.
