I’ll be 14 in March, and I want an anime. (Tsubasa Chronicles) I talked with my mom about it and she says it’s okay because I said it doesn’t have anything "bad" in it. (And it doesn’t.) I don’t know what my dad will say though. He doesn’t have a problem with my brother buying anime, but he’s 20 so he gets all the freedom. -_-
Even if my parents say yes to me buying a PG rated anime, they might not like another one I want really bad. (Nabari no Ou) It’s TV 14, and it has a lot of violence and some blood, but not gory or horrific at all. It’s probably not their type of show, but I absolutely love it. I hope they can respect me on this and not spazz out when I tell them I’ve watched the whole anime 3 times. o_o
And there’s something else they probably won’t understand. The two main character guys seem very close near the end of the anime, and a lot of people misunderstand and think they’re gay. But I don’t think they are since they never actually confessed love or anything like that. If I tell my parents that, they might not believe me. :/
Anyone have some advice?

most anime (just like every cartoon) have points where they’re trying to integrate morals into the show, tell them that & if you can think of any part of the anime that does that point it out

I use these two anime review websites to see what certain anime is about before I buy them. They also have a recommended age for each anime, and a small description of what type of inappropriate stuff may be in the series. While I could not find the ones you asked for, these may come in handy later on for other anime. But if you google "Tsubasa Chronicles review" or "Nabari no Ou review" then you should eventually find some websites with a content rating and recommended audience. You can show these to your parents and explain that they haveing the content on the website and the recommended age. Also they tend to have recommended age on the back of the anime DVD. But these can be misleading at times, as I have seen ones that say 13+ and yet have stuff that people may find to be not suitable for children.
But yeah I cant stand the hate anime gets from people thinking it’s full or porn or something.
Also that thing about the two guys is probably just suppose to be close friends. I see this alot in anime, like with Light and L towards the end in Death Note, and Gon and Killua in Hunter X Hunter. I think it just a cultural difference, guys over there are not as matcho about showing they feelings about their friends.

Tsubasa really has nothing bad in it. Which parent has the ‘power’ in your house? I know if when I was younger and I wanted something I only had to ask my mom, my dad’s opinion doesn’t really matter. Are your parents going to be watching the show with you, because if not it doesn’t really matter what the content is. You could always watch a show with them to warm them up to anime first, then go buy what you really want later. I’ve watched Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note, Code Geass and all sorts of other shows with my mom. For a while she thought they were all cutesy shows (like Card Captors Sakura which I watched when I was younger), but then she realized that the shows do have some value to them, regardless of what it is about.
Just tell them at least you aren’t planning on buying Hentai. Tsubasa is about as child friendly as you can get.
