Anime Spotlight Fall 2012 - The List

Because I've been able to play every other ANN Video on Safari a-okay.

I'm using Firefox, so I have a different browser, and I get the same issue.

I vowed to never return to such a domain when I read some of the fanfictions my younger sister read. It was terrifying; horrors greater than the ones conjured by H.P. Lovecraft himself lurk within there. Cthulhu? Nyarlthotep? Even these Great Old Ones fear the monstrosities born within there. Randolph Carter's madden state of mind would heal only to be destroyed again if he witnessed the things I have viewed.

No thanks, I'd rather slit my wrists.

The other two shows don't interest me in the least. (Actually, I'm in the "seriously disturbed by the premises" club.) Just one note, though (this is pointless rambling, so feel free to ignore/disregard)- I'm in no position to judge the quality of the fanservice in OniAi, but the art looks really ugly to me. Just looking at that bath scene, the sister's body is unhealthily thin (well, except for...certain areas) and appears to be covered in sores. I can't tell for sure, but the musculature in her shoulders seems off, and, at least in that one screenshot, her breasts appear to be hanging off her clavicle. Of course, I'm not a professional artist, but this just bothered me a bit because you would think they would choose frames that are less messy/off-model for their promo art...(And compared to the one on the far right, second-to-last row, the bath one is an artistic masterpiece!) This is just my personal hang-ups about the art, and I'm not trying to judge whether it succeeds at being cute or sexy as, again, I really have no business judging that.

I think it's merely proof that the creators of this show have never actually seen a real woman's naked body in their entire lives.

What if I told you that you're wrong?

So yeah, there's this show airing next season where a guy develops a one-sided crush on a girl and even kisses her against her will.

I do hope you all plan to rage about how horribly misogynist and disgusting this is, right?

Then I get an excuse to chime in that it definitely had potential but was utterly destroyed by spoiler[the rabid Scrappy hate]. Is it too much to ask that you don't completely derail a character in official media?

Anime fandom -- where guys who want to boff their sisters are an oppressed minority going against arbitrary societal taboos.

Thank god the general public still thinks the creepiest thing about anime is tentacle sex.

hey ANN Staff, when are you gonna feature a shoujo? Its been ages since we got one....come on, SukiYo, Kaibutsu-kun or Kamisama? Please?
