Either ignore their anti-war, anti-American drivel and keep with the hobby, realizing they may have talent in one area and be clueless in another, or find animation performers who are more in line with conservatism (if there are any)...or if it bothers you to be giving them money with which they make these asinine comparisons...get a new hobby and vote with your feet and your wallet.

In short, perhaps consider taking up shooting as a hobby. It is really wuite enjoyable and one day it could save your life.

I wouldn't have a problem with this EXCEPT, I cannot imagine that their cartoons are not drenched with the effects of their political affiliation.

In this case, it may not seem like leftist causes being promoted in the cartoons so much as a love of death---elevated to a level of "art". That love of death is part of the Left.

Some (but not all) Japanese titles are released with English subtitles (http://CDJapan.co.jp generally includes such information).

Sure Japanese titles cost more but you get titles when they are released (legally), not a year or more later.

NOTE: You will need to find a Region Free (or at least R2) machine to play many (but not all, some are R0) import titles.

Fandom was built by individuals bringing over tapes and laser discs of these films and tv shows that had no US distribution.

If an American licensee thinks that they are the only game in town, then they are mistaken. Purists prefer subtitles to dubs anyway.

You could also seek out the original Japanese production company and voice your displeasure with the American licensee.
