HOWDY!
I saw this title, Voices of a Distant Planet, on a random web site, I pulled up a summar and it looked really cool. The site listed a 13+ rating. Ratings that aren't MPAA confuse me. I take that back-- All ratings confuse me, but anime ratings in particular. My main problem is that I don't particularly mind language or some "tasteful" (Lord of the Rings style, non-explicite) violence. What I do mind is the gross sexuality which is so commonly in anime.
Can anyone give me an idea of what objectional content is in this anime. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks a million!

Hey there! No worries for Voices of a Distant Star. There's one swear in the dub and a couple brief scenes of blood. It's more like PG material. We actually have a review up for this in the review database.
Ok, here's the link to our database:

Hey,
That helped alot, thanks. The only problem I have now is that I'll probably have to go out and buy it because blockbuster only stocks manga porn. (Okay I exaggerate. They have, um,--------Kiki's Delivery service, too. If that even counts.
)
I guess on the good side, every review I've read was a blissfully happy with this title. Oh, the things I suffer for the love of anime.

Kikis counts! It's a Hayao Miyazaki film! I heard a lot about this series too, and all of it seemed positive.

Voices is great... I almost passed it up since it's a fairly short film, but it's worth the cost (be sure to watch the subtitled version, it's much better that way IMNSHO).
BTW, Kiki is a great movie, even if it's main character is a "witch," it's charming and clever... and the artwork is fantastic.

Actually, I first saw VDS at Blockbuster, but it's worth it to buy it.

My blockbuster doesn't have it! Nasty-rental nazi's! J/k. I guess I'll just cough-up the dough. Thanks for the help!

Best Buy had it for $13 (which is where I just picked it up ... still haven't had the time to watch it yet though, sigh).

I got it for $15 at Best Buy several months ago, and I've watched it more often than any other anime I own. It is amazing what the man did in 25 minutes' time. I can't get enough of this one. Everyone must see it.

VDS isn't miazaki, Kiki's delivery service is.
