So, I was wondering what exactly is Detective Conan's target audience in Japan? I know in America it would generally be rated PG13 because of the blood, drugs, and violence, but what about Japan?
The guns, killing, blood, and suicide don't exactly look child-friendly to me, but other things, like the Detective Boys and lack of adult themes, keep Detective Conan from being an adult show.
So, is it something like a family show in Japan? I'm sure there are a lot of concepts a younger audience wouldn't understand.
Oh, and do the manga and anime have different target audiences? I've noticed the anime censors graphic scenes in the manga (Episode 1, for example).
