It's part of the conspiracy to brainwash the youth. Subliminal message here, and there, and in 20 years we have our very own mindless army.
The Japanese are doing it too. When is the last time you saw some non-jap animation? Haven't you seen the chimpokomon South Park episode?
And while this was meant to be a joke, I do wonder sometimes when I happen to see these programs. When I watched pokemon in its first year or so, the characters seemed to be unwilling to fight under certain circumstances, even in self defense, because it was "wrong." To me this seems completely illogical, but to a kid... maybe it would be rooted. Maybe Japan intends to remove the will from our children, and invade us in 20 years. Just a daydream..
