I do recall a few years back about a Japanese anime show that did a strobe feature at the end of an episode. There were numerous reports of kids becoming nauseous and going into seizures. The episode was promptly pulled from syndication. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
You might want to do a Google search on the incident. It was national news, and brought up the subject of physiological effects of certain types of strobe lighting.
Keep in mind, though, that only a limited number of people were affected. It wasn't something I would really trust if I were being rushed by a 6'5",350 lb Gigantor.
P.S. -There was also a Simpson's episode on the subject (which was hilarious, as usual).
