It was directed at K-40 I believe. And ‘crap’ isn’t a swear you know. I mean, ‘damn’ is, and whole list of others are (though proboards doesn’t like you using them, as it has already gone and censored me. At least it isn't that crazy 'change the word' censoring anymore). Secondly, K-40 said that his parents thought anime was evil, not he. In a sense, it’s just that Japan is different. In Japan, you can turn on a kids show, the equivalent of a Nickeloden or Cartoon Netwrok show here, and see full-nudity and mild swearing, lots of blood, etc (For example, in the Japanese intro of Zatch/Gash Bell, Zatch flies in with his man parts in plain site for all to see. In the dub they censored this). Japan just doesn’t have the same idea of morals as the western world, so when American parents see such things they perceive it as evil while Japenese parents don’t think it’s strange at all. There’s also that a lot of anime deals with demons and the such, which also doesn’t look good to American parents. But eh, there are a lot of reasons. Really, unless it’s purposefully targeted at a young audience I wouldn’t let my kids watch it if they weren’t at least 13. But I’d review it beforehand and see what I thought of it. For example, Paranoia Agent has a few nude scenes (three if I remember correctly) and it starts getting bloody around ep 7 (Nothing says ‘kid friendly’ like seeing Maromi doing a happy dance around a blood soaked body… And that takes place in ep 10 'Drowsing Maromi' I believe), so I wouldn’t let my kids watch it, but if my kids were say 15 or so, I wouldn’t mind as much as it isn’t too mature (two breast shots and a butt shot. It isn't all that bad). And most anime is targetd at the 13-15 range, and a few at the adult range. Really, I’d just get your parents to watch it or read a review and see if they’ll let you watch. If it isn’t bad then they shouldn’t mind. You can check this site for reviews, age ratings, and the such.

The crap thing was just a surprise because of the show's place. I guess they realized that if a show had questionable material, but hasn't been completed, it needed to be taken from Toonami and placed in the 1-2:00 time on the Friday schedule.
