I hold the belief that the word anime was imported into the US by companies renting Japanese Animation in Video Rental Stores. As an implicit parental advisory. This section is not for your kids, don’t complain to us if you mistake it for Dysney.

“ANIME ISN'T ISNT FOR KIDS” or something close to it was then used as marketing material for one the Anime Distributors of the time, to encourage a young adult viewership. Which is to say all this started with corporate marketing departments of course it is annoying.
