It's attitude and beliefs seem more like what I would attribute to God.

I think that the title is incorrect.

Many animations are not made for children.

Akira comes to mind as an animation that most definitely has an 18 certificate.

@isthatallyoucando This is where you are incorrect:

This animation WAS made for children and it aired as a Children's TV show.

[isthatallyoucando]

@videocircus I didn't actually say it WASN'T made for children, I simply implying that I think that it's incorrect based on what we are seeing. Considering it was BANNED, as you say, I'm sure the TV censors (and you) agreed. Mark Twain's original story referencing Satan (the Mysterious Stranger) were not aimed at children at all (was quite philosophical). As an animation, this film has a "U" certificate but I would give it much higher for certain scenes. It is available on DVD now.

@isthatallyoucando While it is true that in Japan most of anime is actually intended for adults and have age restrictions it's not that much the case in the western world. Then again I was born in the 80's and in my childhood shows for children were much different than what they are now. Cartoons depicted serious issues about life and the world, and in my youth children's programs were often made into political propaganda in Europe and they did actually teach important things.

[isthatallyoucando]

@Guilthas Absolutely. I guess I didn't want to go for an obvious options such as South Park, Family Guy, etc etc... I was just really intending to suggest that because it was animation, doesn't mean it was intended for children, regardless of the rating it is given, or regardless of what channel wanted to air it (even during a kids hour).

Babies smoking cigars were fine in my day... the censors may not like it these days! I agree 100% with the political issues.

I feel some truth in this thing about if there's no earth like every thing is gone what we are? Nothing! it's just space! Nothing Exist!

[charmy9682]

Even the music is pretty eerie.

[cp3leo10]

is that satan?

who is the angel?

[videocircus]

@cp3leo10 Satan is the Angel.

Before Lucifer was cast out of Heaven he was a powerful Angel. He was in charge of Heavens Choir.

[buktomsin]

Ha, good depiction of what he didn't believe in.

[digitalvideosHD]

@buktomsin You think Mark Twain wasn't satanic?

[buktomsin]

@digitalvideosHD Actually no... I'm positive that he wasn't.

[glam13uk]

I don't see what is so disturbing about this in the slightest.

[skvarcity]

Im not gonna lie... I was kinda scared watching this...

[creewarrior215]

holy fuck this is Disturbing man !

[videocircus]

@creewarrior215  YUP, sure is boy.

[daglasses2]

Is it wrong if I approve? Well fuck it! I approve!

[mauriciohavok]

I can¡t understand what Satan says at the very end. "nothing exist except empty space and you, and you are ...."?

[Laz627]

@mauriciohavok "nothing exists save empty space and you, and you are but a thought."

[mauriciohavok]

@Laz627 thanks!

[Neptunesdragon]

This was one of my favorites when I was little, not disturbing at all. Then again, I wasn't forced to limit myself to children's programming. When I was little, I wanted the history channel and Nick at Nite. 

[NerdyGrad808]

i love this movie- it is always creates amazing discussion and I am using it as part of presentation about John Milton's Satan

[Kalkas53]
