@Aliis:

There is no "moral dilemma". Portrayal of relationship is just banned by default for this genre. It is not like all of sudden all of the authors never wanted to include even a small part of actual humanity in their main heroes, actual relationship, love and sex. It is just not allowed in principle.

And this is what I find annoying, because as result we only get fake/cardboard/half-human characters in all those manga.

Dude, listen to what you are saying. You're not even listening to Aliis at all. She/He is bringing up all these points about the topic and you're just waving them away and saying whatever you think is right. If you truly believe, "I'm right, and you're wrong," provide some proof and example anime to back up your statement please. Where exactly do we see these fake/cardboard/half-human characters.

OMG. If they are going to simulcast it is it possible for the announcement to come so close to the premier. I've never really paid this close attention to a new release before.

^Crunchyroll generally doesn't do announcements on the weekends, so if they've got it the earliest the announcement will come is monday the 30th. That being said, it's not unusual for Crunchy to announce new titles the day before (or day of) their airing, so just be patient.

Which points?

He/she wrote against my point that the fact that all of authors for such projects from all of the times did not make their heroes complete humans is just coincidence since all of sudden all of them think it is unnecessary to the story.

In return, I point out that this is simply impossible, and that we deal with the stupid "formula" here, which derives characters of realism and limits believability of the stories authors try to tell.

So I perfectly saw the argument and reacted accordingly. And I also provided names of concrete projects (including this one) -- thus, ironically, the one who does not read before commenting turns out to be you.

And how is that impossible? Aliis provided that shows like Naruto and Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple are shows that don't have a need for obscure material due to the nature of its content. Nothing sexual is shown because it does not relate to the story and is not required for the show itself. Just because you do not see the main character as lecherous does not mean he isn't. It just means the author is not showing that side of the character. Are you saying that a show is obligated to show sex scenes in it just so your definition of a character that is not "fake" or "cardboard" can be fulfilled? I'm sorry, but don't talk like you know all of humanity. Who are you to say that someone who is not outwardly shown to have sexual desires is not "human"?
