Death Note.  I think Code Geass also counts, right?

But seriously, you keep asking for anime about super-American issues, which there aren't many of because it's anime.

okay new question from anime noob what about an anime about terroist and the heroes who try to stop them. {dear god i hope the NSA dosen't go after me for asking that}.
Ghost in The Shell (THE WHOLE SERIES), Cybernetics Anti-Terrorist Unit in the future complete with hacking, assassinations, bombs, and AI.

(its more of a cop drama but there is alot of action in it and insight to the future of mechanization)

What implied sex? That was like the one thing he didn't put in.

Sort of.

Lets just say it sort of enters the same arena as the Dorothy battle in Marchen Awakens romance. It isn't Tentacle rape, but you are meant to treat it like such.

He speaks of one of the OVAs, which is just more "lololololol look how many different ways I can screw with this universe I made and people will still enjoy it" by Akamatsu. Also, wasn't implied. I saw that OVA scene, and even though it was outrageous, it was also no rape. Obviously it was meant to make the audience think of it like tentacle rape, but there was no rape in actuality or ever implied by the scene. That scene was "Hey, here's a shoutout to all you perverts into this thing, and I can get away with it because I can."

I will say he failed though. Mind you Marchen Awakens Romance went from "creative and possible going somewhere" to "Derivative and a slog" less then halfway through the series.

I can even say the EXACT moment this happened. It would be immediately after the Snow battle in the tournament. That was when the anime became irredeemable because it had no self-awareness.

Yeah, GitS is pretty much the go-to series for terrorists and the fighting thereof. Code Geass counts, sort of, but the "terrorism" thing is mostly dropped a few episodes in to the first season, instead alternating between gambit-driven guerrilla warfare, delightful hammery, and school drama.

Canaan is pretty much all about terrorists, but on the other hand it's total nonsense.

Good point.  Trigun is an excellent example.

Yeah, because terrorists don't have faces or names.

Didn't you learn anything from Kurabara?

Yeah, you're pretty much looking for GitS right there. Spiral (or Uzumaki) may work as well. Actually, ACTUALLY WAIT. GUNSLINGER GIRL. You want Gunslinger Girl. Terrorism, Western politics, nitty-gritty, the whole shebang. Not sure about anime vs. manga, though. I know the manga version is great.

You may also be interested in Black Lagoon. It doesn't really deal with terrorism at all, but it deals with a lot of other topics you might be interested in that deal with a similar thing.

I... I don't know what to say to that because I wasn't talking about Marchen Awakens Romance, and I'm not sure I know about a "Snow battle in the tournament" in Negima. The only time I recall snow is during one of Eva's training sessions for Asuna.

Tripeace???

Tripeace = http://mangafox.me/manga/tripeace/

Site Blurb -
Nana, a young boy suffering from extreme amnesia, has forgotten his real name. After helplessly witnessing the unjust death of three children during one of his trips, he vows to eradicate all wars of the surface of the earth.

He then joined Tripeace, a small group of activists whose members use all kinds of weapons and will stop at nothing, not even the violence, bring peace to the world. But soon, the new registration number 102078 of Tripeace is faced with a dilemma: can we protect the peace at any price?

Personal Blurb -
Crazy, stupid and hilarious. Sadly ends with a "Damn it, last chapter cause of being removed from Magazine, gotta finish story" curse...

Sorry I thought you were. Since if the creator of Marchen Awakens Romance was trying to stretch the stupidity to see how bad he could make his stuff without people complaining... I wouldn't be surprised.

Nah, it's fine. I was still talking about Negima concerning

Quote
The whole point of Negima was that it was a shonen adventure/fighting series disguised as a harem comedy.

Really? I thought it was Eichi disguised as a harem. Hence all the implies sex and making out.

and

What implied sex? That was like the one thing he didn't put in.

Sort of.

Lets just say it sort of enters the same arena as the Dorothy battle in Marchen Awakens romance. It isn't Tentacle rape, but you are meant to treat it like such.

Thought the "tentacle rape" comment was from one of the Negima OVAs, in which a clothes-eating tentacle monster attacks the cosplayer and humiliates and tickles her until she is saved.

This conversation is just getting depressing... Given I brought up completely different hack writing and somehow it wasn't unique.
