I've noticed that anime geared at kids/teenagers (particularly shonen manga
such as Naruto) seems to have language that translates to words that could be
considered inappropriate in English (てめえ, きさま, etc.). I don't have a good
enough sense of Japanese to tell whether these are more on the vulgarity range
of "damn" or the f-word, but I was wondering if there's a certain set of words
or threshold of words that would be considered inappropriate for anime/manga
geared towards kids/teenagers (in the sense that a movie is rated R in the US
if it has the f-word more than once, so the f-word is considered inappropriate
for things geared at teenagers).
