The first clone wars series did not get as deep as these series will. Killing is maybe the darkest you can get in a kid series. Any more darker and it wouldn't be considered a kids series.

Question, is THIS the TV series that everyone's been waiting for? I've kind of been out of the loop, I thought there was going to be a live action one? Is that still coming or what?

uh- no. No they're not. Naruto airs on the equevilent of FOX Kids and Kids WB in Japan, and that shows people getting split in half, exploding, crushed to death, impaled, many sexual themes, etc.
Don't like Naruto? There's plenty of others. You probably don't know much about Anim eas far as classes.
Shonen Anime (Naruto, DBZ ( I think), Pokemon, etc. are made for little kids and adolescents. Shonen literally is a boy who's age is from elementary school to middle school.
edit- I just checked.
Shonen is considred "appropiate" for kids age 8-18. So yeah, it's cool for 8 year olds to watch kids explode.
Im not talking about in Japan. Power rangers in Japan also had a lot of fowl language. The ratings are different in Japan. Please believe if a cartoon was made in the US with people getting chopped in half, people getting crushed to death, or a lot of sexual themes, it wouldn't be a kids show here in the US.

No, that's the series that has been pulled in between cause the idea of a live action show is so badass that Lucas needs a year or two more to screw it up.

Then why mention anime, the majority of which is made in Japan?
What you mean to say is that Anime is made for children as well as adults, but American bastardization makes it for kids.
But even then Dragon Ball Z and Batman, both of which aired on Cartoon Network and thus were made for kids, showed people get killed in pretty dark fashions...
But it doesn't matter, ebcause you're abck peddiling now. Yoiu're stance now is that people dying in a kids show is dark for american kids. That doesn't matter though, because American kids are all punks and weiners.
No offense but it has always been silly. A couple years ago I thought ESB was the ****. After watching it this summer and listening to Chewbaca and the whole theme.............yea I think it was intended that way.
A lot of anime is also aired in the U.S. The more adult themed ones are not listed as a kids cartoon in the U.S. BTW you are the one who brought up anime.
You are missing the point. I said it can not get any wose than killing, or it would not really be considered a series for kids.
And what does your opinion of American kids have to do with anything?
