Oh, I'm definitely prejudiced against manga/anime, but not because it is
Japanese... U.S. comic books produce some of the same reactions, but mixed
with a little nostalgia for the 1960s when I read them a lot.

Violence of course is also a matter of purpose.  Maus I/II is violent enough:
after all, it's about the Holocaust, but I think the violence is entirely
justified.
