Good thing you didn't. Florida deputies would have been busting down your door for violating their state's community standards. Wink

If you've only sticking with the show and not the manga... nothing tame about what's been going on where I think they left on in S2, which I still need to see. Crying or Very sad

Wow a state were you can have a romantic relations with animals will send you to prison for anime. that does not sound right.

Back to the topic at hand.
I'm very happy to see this. I have kept up with the manga and it gets much wilder and serious. I'm wondering how will they animate Rin's masturbation scene with out getting a adult rating.

Yes yes yes yes yes! I knew they couldn't just end it with Nigakki! Bring on more damaging psychological issues!

Might as well jump on the bandwagon!

In before 15 page Kodomo no Jikan morality debate.

Well, I'm pretty sure Takeyo was being sarcastic. And wait...what!?

Bestiality really is legal in Florida, but Lolicon isn't. Imagine that?

If it does get licensed, you can bet it'll get edited out the wazoo. At that point, who'd buy it?


How would it get edited? The show itself is pretty tame, and Strike Witches had more fan service and it caters to loli-cons as well... The main reason I think that it hasn't sold is because it has more slice-of-life and drama and isn't an action show, which from what I see, it doesn't really sell... with the exception of NANA and maybe some other titles as well(?)

However back to topic... I actually can't wait for this! Hopefully it'll be another T.V. Season, as much as I enjoyed the "second season" OVA I would much rather have another season.


I agree, there's a lot less tame stuff that's already been licensed in America, not to mention the fact that Rin is never explicitly nude. If this catches on a little more in Japan, I can see a company like Media Blasters (if they don't collapse first Confused ) picking this one up, no questions asked. Funi wouldn't license it because, despite the fact that it's really not THAT bad in terms of content, it still does deal with a pretty risqué subject that may anger some.

Still: glad there's going to be more of this show. Love-love-LOVE it, and was always pi$$ed that Seven Seas dropped it from publication.

I've read fan sub sites show the edited version. If they're doing it, no way am I betting a company's going to release it unedited.
I've also heard the show isn't "out there" as many people suspect, but show the clip of Kokonoe licking the finger of her teacher, with eyes closed, and see how many people wouldn't have a problem with just that scene alone. Never mind the skirt raising scene.
I should point out I only know of these scenes because they're talked about often. I've yet to see the series for myself and, honestly, have no desire to even though I think Kokonoe's rather cute. Like a puppy, not jailbait. Have to clarify this for some reason.

Please insert any scene from Strike Witches where there's an underage girl having contact with a grown male or purposely raise their skirts to entice a reaction here:

And that, ladies and gentlemen, ends this pointless comparison. I will not concern myself with people who think anime's only purpose is to get grown males off by showing panty shots. I don't like going that far. It's been around for years and it's not going away. Deal with it or find another form of entertainment which suits morality issues better.

Try House, because there's nothing like seeing a grown woman dress up in a school girl uniform. Rolling Eyes

What those fan subs sites are releasing are the TV version which has editing, but the DVD version is uncensored. I've seen both, and the edits make some things seem much worse than they are in reality.

Code Geass (Lelouch is really still alive, really!)


Uh... no he's not. Goro said that in a press anouncement.
Why can't fans simply accept his death? Fans accepted L's death in Death Note.
While I sympathize for his request for sequel series, but even IF his wishes were granted, it's HIGHLY doubtful they'd get treated with love over here...
It's time to make peace with what's available right now, and to enjoy what we can! And if, by chance, there's NOTHING out there for you (that means you too Zac!), open your minds and try to see how what's enjoyable for others aren't for you.

It's not enough to just complain about dissatisfaction. Just... watch something!

Y'all really should thank me for providing an actual villain for your persecution complexes.

There, that should cover it all. Wink

Your list, it makes no sense. Half that stuff has sequels, and half doesn't. What are you getting at?

I'll only be watching this if it has an edited TV version (with the spinning Hiragana). I tried watching the OVAs but it was just too loli-fanservicey, which is a shame, cause the story is actually pretty dang touching.

I tried watching the anime awhile back to see what all the fuss was about. I don't think the ending credits of the fist OVA had even started rolling before I pulled a Token "I'm out" and hit delete.
