* ValuesDissonance: Mami's father is a painter specializing in nudes. Mami is his favorite subject, and she often (approaching OncePerEpisode levels in the anime) poses nude for him for extra allowances. She sees nothing unusual with this, and has no qualms about Takahata seeing the nude paintings her father did for her (the fact that he becomes hot and red all over around those paintings is a minor RunningGag), and her mother doesn't seem to have any problem with her own daughter posing nude for her husband either. This is shown in surprising detail (especially when one considers it's a kid's show from the late eighties) -- SceneryCensor and NippleAndDimed are completely averted, and the paintings shown are actually [[ArtShift art shifted]] works of what appears to be watercolor. The only time she's allowed to be freely nude, however, is when posing or taking a bath, because her father does actually have a problem with his little girl being nude merely because it's hot summertime, which means nudity to him is only appropriate in an artistically professional environment (Mami actually protested this [[SlidingScaleOfGenderInequality bias against female nudity]]). This is something a prime-time kid's show could absolutely ''not'' do today, even in Japan.

Also in the West, any dad who paints his underage daughter naked would be thrown in the big house for child porn.
