I agree with Richard- thats and intresting marketing idea.

But that aside- so what if its a backpack? In america all ages have backpacks- and even if its kidde looking I've seen many 16-17 year old carrying Spongebob backpacks or Dora the Exploer.

This isn't really a big thing. The preschool panties thing- thats is creepy.

I must be missing something here. I don't see anything wrong with having the backpack as an extra. It seems like a neat marketing idea to me. & I'm not a "Kodomo no Jikan" defender either. I just honestly don't see anything wrong with this. People are way over reacting about this & reading too much into it, if you ask me.

Umm.. It should be good? I liked the games for the Wii. Tenkaichi 2 was actually one of the better Wii launch games. I'm looking forward to the third one now.

Just a quick question - Does anyone have any pictures of the backpack? I clearly overreacted because I'm assuming that the backpack is designed after one a young girl would wear.

Bleah, I assumed right! And I even had to clear that out of my internet's history...

I think I'll stick with my BECK DVD box shaped like an amp...

Of all the things that are creepy about Kodomo no Jikan, that backpack is probably the least of them.

oops

I mean, one of the volumes came with a pair of children's panties, for christ's sake. At least get outraged over something like that.


Holy shit, are you serious? This is the first I've heard of it, but...

Seriously, if that's true, I don't give a flying f**k of what the content is like. You can't justify that unless you also want to flat out say "It's OK to like little girls."

Dammit, and I thought the Koi Kaze stickers were freaking creepy...

I think you confused Kodomo no Jikan with a dedicated lolicon manga magazine published by Akaneshinsha.

Wow, now that's overreacting.

I'm not sure if that's a lie or an honest mistake, but either way, it's wrong. =_=

I'm mistaken, then. I was told that by several sources and then realized I might be misremebering, so I went and did as much research as I have the stomach for and can't find anything to back it up so I was wrong on that one.

Sorry, my bad.

Y'know, despite everything, I have to say that's an appropriate extra and overall, is pretty nice. It's a cute thing Smile

The show itself can jump though.
