They've seen Macross 7?
Seriously, though, I've seen a decent amount of anime over the past 30 years, and I strongly feel that the industry as a whole feeds the young girl fetish monster a wee bit too much these days. Is it constant, is it in every anime? No, of course not. I would say a majority of anime avoids it. But its still there in alot of mainstream shows and movies, we can't deny it.
