A friend said fansubers totally ignored this series.

Actually, the US is one of the few places where you can't marry a cousin. I'll probably rent Narima Daikon Bros. It's a whacky show, but I don't see it having a lot of re-watch value. |

And for better or for worse, the "kissin' cousins" thing isn't considered illegal/taboo, as various discussions about Elfen Lied and Sakura Diaries have confirmed. EDIT: Not by anime standards, I guess... Last edited by Zalis116 on Mon Jul 03, 2006 1:52 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I hope you're being facetious. The legal age for marriage in Japan is 18 for males and 16 for females, with the consent of at least one the parents of the person in question. [1] This consent is unnecessary once a person reaches the age of majority, which is 20. [2] As for cousins, Japan's Civil Code of 1947 specifies:
This chart gives the degrees of kinship. Thus even second cousins may not marry, nor (despite many hentai stories about pseudo-incestuous relationships) may step-parents/-children or step-siblings. Koi Kaze, is, of course, right out. [1] Japan: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, volume 1, page 926; also at Age of Consent. [2] Japan, volume 1, page 14.

Well, as it says, ADV is doing the production and Funimation is just marketing it. What I assume this means is that ADV is doing all of the production, including the translation, English dub, DVD authoring/encoding, etc. Funimation will likely handle packaging and distribution. Basically, it will be an ADV product, but released by Funimation. It sounds like an interesting collaboration between two major companies. I wonder if this and Funimation's distribution deal with Tokyopop are beginning a trend. |

I'm a little sceptical about that. At least where the packaging is concerned. When I picked up the DVD I instantly knew that it had to be a smaller comapny producing it. There is no way the Tactics DVD would have been released as is, through ADV. ADV always has impecable design with their products. I can't say anything about the content since I have yet to watch it. |

It's going to be interesting seeing both companies animated opening sequences running side by side. |

I don't know, Manga also released Karas which had a very good slipcover and box art along with a small comic inside, so it's not as though Manga is incapable of a decent release themselves. |

Bingo. Just a jab at this whole loli-fetish thing. |

Yes, but just to clarify, the age of consent is not the same as the legal age for marriage and varies by location. It can be as young as 13 in some areas. |

I was surprised that this series was picked up. Chris Swett of "Track-shun" said a series like this would never be released in America. He also said the same thing about Pani Poni Dash! (which he compared Daikon Bros. to). After seeing a small preview of this show, I can't wait to watch it. I love a good musical comedy anime. Has a lot of variety in it.
Now if they can just do a sketch comedy anime... |

All I have to say after seeing episode 1 at AX is:
Keep the kids away from this one!! OMG, if the first ep is that off the wall... |

First Cousin is frowned upon and semi illegal, however second and third cousins are acceptable. Also remember that they have large extended families. In the US we often lose track of siblings after we grow and move on but the Japanese still live in a patriarchal system and maintain their family connections with "Cousins" that in all practical since are not really related. I'm new to the board and a new fan to Full Metal Panic. Any word about the Second Raid OAV and if it is going to be English dubbed? Also how often are the episode's being released? I just bought and watched the FMP Perfect Collection and the Fumoffu set, so I have no idea of how often episodes are released, also I have seen some English dubbed episodes on the Anime channel that are not in my sets. |
