Am I the only one that thinks more gore =/= more mature?
I watched a lot of horror movies with my family when I was a kid, does that means I had mature tastes for my age? Even kids know that if you slice off someone's head, it comes off and blood squirts out. It's not difficult to comprehend. I don't really find anything mature about it at all. I always see "blood and guts" brought up whenever discussion of "mature" anime comes into play. You realize a lot of those examples aren't even trying to target adults, right? I'm not bashing anyone here, nor am I trying to say any series that anyone brought up is bad. I'm just saying that I see gore brought in all too often as a prime factor for what makes something mature or not. There are plenty of anime that actually do have adults as their target demographic that don't have body parts flying everywhere and overly dramatic deaths.
Yeah, Monster's really nice.
