Then it died out here for several years, but not in Japan, then it came back here.

Slightly OT: At one point, as an adult, I used to see that Sailor Moon cartoon, in the afternoons, when I'd workout. I'd pop on whatever machine, turn on afternoon Telly--let's face it, daytime TV pre-streaming was not afloat in options--and my cats loved it (and a show called "Gargoyles," too...). I thought it was cute, for kids...and then, at some point, my brain kicked in and I realized that it's pedo porn for adult men. I looked further into anime/manga, and that was it for me. I have no problem with men, women, porno...but stylized pedo porn is just disgusting, legitimizing or facilitating something that oughn't be facilitated, stylized, etc.
