*remembers box art* Although, perhaps they already ruined that.


What are you talking about when you mention normal person?
Someone who wants to buy Crime Edge in the first place surely isn't as prude as to mind a scene like that.

Ugh I don't know what to think of this anime. The scenes between Kiri and Iwai were good and cute, but everything else was just meh. I was hoping that Hitomi would appear in the later episodes but it never happened. I will give this a Decent.

Oh, Crime Edge, you started so good and ended so badly.

This last episode was so bad. Couldn't they just have left out the spoiler[Kiri/Witchy] bit which gave us hints about what awaits Kiri in the second series (that will never come) and given us some cute scene between Iwai and Kiri instead? And then they just randomly threw in a montage to show us what else they were planning to do in the future. Alrighty then.

The only things that were good about Crime Edge were Iwai and Kiri who were a seriously cute couple and the Byouinzaka sisters (though we didn't see enough of Houko). Hitomi and Houichi seemed interesting as well, but sadly we never saw them again after that one episode. Giving this a decent.

Nope. I'm pretty much immune to fan service. Rolling Eyes It wasn't all that bad. I've seen so much worse.
Crime Edge remains my favorite this season.

And are we POSITIVE there will be no second season? Couldn't that montage have been a preview for it?

She reminds me of Slan from Berserk.

This is awkward...should I tell her, guys? I think someone should; might as well be me. DuskyPredator said normal people...not you.

I would not put it so strongly. I mean that I am not normal. I own Dance in the Vampire Bund, would buy Kodomo no Jikan, Astarotte's toy, Ro-Kyu-Bu, and the child nudity in Crime Edge for some reason put me off. I like lolis, but this episode had me thinking what others would think of me if I bought it.

There was so much censoring that it makes me think that there must be something to show in the home release.

Sorry if it comes across as me saying there is something wrong with your viewing It may only be my opinion on it and you might have the more mature opinion.

A few episodes back I mentioned that I was a little turned off by the make out session. It is really weird that I am actually affected by it all. I have seen so many anime with young people in sexualized situations, and this is one of the only ones to get this sort of response from me

No, you're not alone there.

Licking is weird.

.........fourteen-year-olds licking hair is even weirder. Confused
But I love this series, despite the squick. I love everything about it save the odd, squicky moments.

Child molesters will never be friends with you if you keep that attitude up.

Let me amend that: a fourteen year-old licking a girl that looks ten.

Iwai's loliness didn't bother me....I find licking between characters of ANY age.....pretty.....weird. But the level of intimacy concerning Kiri's age was kinda disturbing...and it felt too random and OOC for him.
That's why I didn't like it. :/

I would've been indifferent if he wasn't all "kissing? that's like 8th base! But licking...that comes before hand-holding."
