My Son Refuses Anime

Outlaw Star Trailer 2

A lot of people have been asking for Outlaw Star to be on Adult Swim. It would be a great help if people could petition for Outlaw Star on the Adult Swim boards, they have a thread topic that asks people to give their opinions for anime that should be put into the line up.

Because Outlaw Star.

I have this series on DVD. I need to try to introduce it to my son. However, he has reached that age where, if mom likes it, then it's obviously not cool. He has sworn off all anime because I watch it, and even his dad can't convince him that there are tons of different genres of anime. Just because I tend to like the goofy comedies doesn't mean that there aren't also awesome space operas!

For instance, I was trying to get him to watch the new Voltron reboot on Netflix (which I am enjoying! Team Hunk, all the way.) and he flat refused.

"Pfft. It's anime. No," and he just shook his head and went back to playing Civ.
