I would bet a large part (or all of it) is that anime and cartoons and toys aren&#x27;t seen as toys, as things just for children, it is normal adult interest. Much anime is very adult and dark. Other anime is war filled.<p>It&#x27;s no different than painting pin-up girls on on your B-17. Also, btw, US Cartoons bugs, daffy, woodpecker are not uncommon nose art subjects. google &quot;bugs bunny nose art&quot;.
