Black Bullet (TV).

And yet another hamfisted attempt at portraying discrimination. Yay.

Given that the incident with the "Cursed Children" happened 10 years prior to this episode we can assume she is indeed older than she looks.

Still once I start seeing children making sexual innuendo jokes they instantly lose the cuteness factor in my opinion. It doesn't really matter if she's older does she really have to talk like a bloody whore??!!!!

It's completely absurd that a child is saying these things and it does totally undermine the rest of her character.

Gotta be a better way to say that dude. I mean, I don't want to bite your head off here, because I agree with you essentially. It's completely absurd that a child is saying these things and it does totally undermine the rest of her character. But any time you call a woman a whore it just comes off as super misogynist and creepy.

4. The depiction of the public

Discrimination is a very simple angle of society to exploit. Discrimination has gone on for as long as we’ve been around and it’s probably going to stay that way. But it seems to me anime always portrays humans as unfeeling beings towards super natural forces and thus means that killing them is perfectly within reason. Yes there are a good number of countries/people who might be like that but one thing i feel gets left out of story telling like this is the few people who ARE willing to try to sympathize with beings like this or work with them (not talking about the Initiator agency) . Activists, protesters, normal genuinely nice people other stuff like that. After all we have folks who will put an animals life on the same pedestal as a humans so I’d think there would be some people against the act of murdering children even if they spawned from monsters. And having our MC as one of the only people who seemingly treats them as real people seems completely unrealistic aside from the old man who probably has other motives.

My apologies. I kind of blow my top over little things so sometimes my word can be a bit insensitive.

Yes, because THAT'S the absurd part of the series and the chains of events, right. It's also stupid to be hung up over something like that, especially since the series is anything but lolicon and spoiler[Enju will lose to Kisara either ways.] If anything, it's irritating that she doesn't manage to get her love being accepted.

You know, it's basically to be expected that somebody is gonna pop up to tell me I'm crazy for being put off by a small child trying overtly to have sex with her teenage guardian. But you could at least just pick one justification instead of this shotgun approach. You just end up contradicting yourself when you try to tell me "It's okay because her feelings aren't returned but also, it's a real shame her feelings aren't returned."

Because there's nothing wrong with it considering it's anime, and there are very special circumstances involved.
