What's behind the problems of society in America today is that we are such a sexualized society. We are also a gun happy violent society. I don't know how you got the idea I was insinuating that we should have our preteens having all the babies here, but I think that we need our kids to be responsible for their actions. But there are people who need to teach them that before they set out into the world to find what they're looking for. Kids who don't get taught by their parents properly about the consequences of said action are going to end up in big s***. Yes, I saw a shrink, I have a job, and I think that sex, no matter how you classify it, is still sex. And there's one last thing, I just hate where this country is going. It is going downhill, and one day, it's going to get nuked. And hopefully I'm not going to be in the country when it happens. |

You hope we're happy about what? You have a problem with Seven Seas canceling Nymphet, you ask them about it, not me, and not anyone who argued their viewpoint here. We are not to "blame" for this. |

Why are you being defensive? Shouldn't you be celebrating right now? Hurray, no one will clutch their children closer and label you a pedophile for calling yourself an anime fan. Yaaaaaaaay. |

Heh, to be honest Zac I think you kinda are at least partially responsible. It was kinda you who got this whole debate going. There may have also been debates elsewhere but this was certainly one of the bigger and more public ones. I think you underestimate how influential you are. You really shouldnt feel bad about that though. If uppon reconsidering the release, Seven Seas decided that it should not have been released, then it mostlikely did sexualize children. If so this is for the best. Sorry pedo's you'll have to get your 8 year old's panties fix elsewhere. /= |

Wow, I just had to comment on this. I guess all good, civilize debates go out the window as soon as one side doesn't get its wish. Too bad, that's life. Calling people who disagree with you "squabbling idiots" is tasteless and silly. And I'm sure Mr. DeAngelis will cry himself to sleep for losing you as a customer, but he will get over it eventually. I don't know you very well, but I hope that when you grow up and have children of your own you will see things in a different light. I highly suggest you pay attention to Blupetia and CCSYueh's posts. You might learn something. Anyway, the good news for all fans is that Seven Seas were truly listening to the fans and made their decisions accordingly. Althought you dislike their decision, it doesn't take away the fact that they cared enough to listen and they deserve kudos for that. Not many companies are doing this today, so we fans should be proud that we can make a difference. And by the way, as far as I recall, the pro-Nymphet guys said it was a harmless comedy. Calling it ecchi suggetst something slightly different. and certainly not harmless or innocent... |

Wow, I'm surprised you can reach your keyboard from way up there. Maybe your pedestal has remote-controlled arms. Only on ANN would you find people talking about how great anime fans are for preventing something from getting published. |

Actually, I have a short chair, but I appreciate your concern. I forgot one shouldn't have an opposite opinion to someone else. My mistake. Next time I see a poster calling other posters idiots I will send him/her flowers.
And I wasn't addressing the cancelling issue only the fact that the fans (not only on ANN forums) got the company so listen to them. And yes, it is a big deal. I know you are dissapointed because of the outcome, but what if the situation was reverse and the fans could influence the company to go ahead with a title? would you be sulking then as well? |

Yes, the simple fact that they decided not to do it because of such a bad reason is enough to make us lose faith in them, of course the sulking would be a LOT less since we know we could push them on to do it, but still, they shouldn't do that.

"Fans" didn't do jack. The fans of this manga weren't listened to. The only people who won today were Chicken Little alarmists who never read more than 2 pages of the manga in question. Anime "fans" have shown that if a manga falls outside their America-approved, sanitized, sensibilities they have the power to make it disappear. That's just great. Let's start writing up lists of other mangas and animes we've never read or watched, which look potentially damaging to our sterling otaku reputations, so we can prevent them from ever reaching our sacred shores. Pride before entertainment, after all.
