Boy is Maid*goes into jealous mode*
Damn you nature, why do I have to look so damned masculine?
Btw, this guy would make a great Kei if they ever decided to do a LA Moyashimon...
Prostitution in JapanI'd say the fact that soldiers are seen as heroes by most is enough proof that violence is being promoted as a good thing.
But meh, I know my views aren't exactly main-stream and I don't want to turn this into a heated debate. Sorry for having broug...
Prostitution in JapanWe grew up to be perfectly normal people... who are greatly desensitized to violence. We see people hitting each other and think nothing of it, hell, the world's most popular sports involve violence.
Am I really the only person who thinks this at th...
Prostitution in JapanActually, it isn't. If it *was* in our blood (and this ties in with the whole religious myth we are born in sin btw) then how do you explain for example all the people who immediately jump into a river or sea when they see a young child drown? Someti...
Prostitution in JapanShame on all you death penalty people. No single person on this planet has the right to decide whether or not another person should live or not. Only that person him/herself can decide that.
Rather than lowering yourself to this man's level and kill...
Emotional Game RankingNot so much cried, but definitely worth a mention: Homeworld really touched me more than once. Yes, Homeworld.
(spoilers)
It starts with the opening scene: The launching of the Mothership still moves me to near-tears every time I see it.
The dest...
Girls Change in ClassroomThe difference here is that being taught to sit on the toilet to relieve yourself doesn't cause all kinds of psychological problems.
Being taught to think of your body as something sinful and dirty is a bad thing for you, mentally. It causes shyness...
Girls Change in ClassroomNo, the porn industry (and that teacher you mentioned) is a result of the paranoid suppression of natural behavior, not the other way around.
Educate children on sexuality from a young age, and they would have no need to experiment or look stuff up...
Girls Change in ClassroomIf it is completely natural to be shy about certain parts of your body, why aren't babies and young kids covering it up at all times? They don't care, so why should we? Not to mention animals don't give a damn either.
It's all socially taught, not n...
Girls Change in ClassroomWrong, how?
What damage could seeing some skin possibly do? It won't kill you. It won't damage your eyes. It won't hurt you mentally... I mean, do you get sick from watching your own body in the mirror?
The only possible way for anyone to find nudi...
Girls Change in ClassroomAnd where do you think these unnatural views come from?
Exactly, from paranoid parents, teachers and other people in power that tell these kids that nudity is wrong, for whatever reason (moral, religious, whatever) even though it's a completely natu...
Ero Artists and CirclesYou know, I completely forgot Mosha. He tends to do high-quality oekaki stuff about series that aren't too mainstream. Mx0 for example.
A Yomogi is fine too: http://yomogi.neko.ne.jp/
Ero Artists and CirclesNever liked Ishikei myself, his faces look to weird, like they all have down syndrome or something... not very sexy IMO (and I really hope the rumor that he's going to take over the art part of the HiMM manga is false...)
Anyway, aside from Tony (wh...
Girls Change in ClassroomYes, I approve. So much so in fact, that I think this should be done all over the world from the first year of school onwards.
Why? Simple: I firmly believe that this whole attitude of "nudity is evil" is what causes things such as negative self-ima...
To Aru Majutsu no IndexThe anime's based on light novels IIRC, so if those are popular enough to warrant a high-quality anime, I'm pretty sure the series is popular enough for figures.
Figures or DisplaysDefinitely figures. One screen already gives me frequent headaches... I can't imagine the pain if I were to be surrounded by a dozen of them.
Figures on the other hand *prevent* the headaches =D
Japanese Dutch WivesI still feel weird every time I read the term "Dutch wives"... What did we do wrong? ;_;
Anyhow, I'd never just dump a 5000+ euro thing in the woods. I'd either try to sell it, or give it away or something. I mean, do you dump your once-top-of-the-l...
Japanese ArcheryI'd sue the guy for not having common sense.
Being an archer myself, the first thing they teach you is to NOT POINT THE BOW AT OTHER PEOPLE. EVER. Not even when there's no arrow on it, it's simply not done.
The fact that the arrow managed to hit th...
Anime GirlsSetting aside Ever 17 (which isn't an anime, but still has the best single character ever in any fictional story - Tsugumi) I'd go with Negima: Lots of girls, and all of them kick ass in one way or another.
Anime SequelsProbably not going to happen, as the manga got nuked after its popularity dropped in Japan. The mangaka suddenly had to improvise an ending, which resulted in the horrible "end" it has now.
Still, we can hope...
Anime SequelsA second Haruhi season was confirmed ages ago and is probably due for late this year, early next year.
They actually have a LOT of stuff still to animate. The first season only covered the first novel and bits and pieces from 3 others, leaving well...
Anime SequelsA good adaption of Negima please.
I mean, christ. Akamatsu is cursed or something, so far every single anime they made from his series (except the newest OAD by SHAFT) sucked horribly.
The OAD proves it is definitely possible to properly animate Ne...
Not even close.
What you describe falls under ephebophilia, lolicon is about pre-pubescent children.
Whether you like it or not, this definitely falls under lolicon, which is basically just a nicer word for pedophilia.
And I thought those photoshoots of early teens were pushing it. This is just disgusting.
Loli (although this borders more on toddlercon, imo) is a pretty grey area in 2D already, but at least nobody gets hurt that way.
Sexualizing REAL kids is just...
Tsukasa HiiragiFirst of all: You owe me a new set of lungs. That review cracked me up.
Secondly, Lucky Star gets much better after the first episode (even though I personally thought it was pretty damn hilarious to begin with, but I'm weird like that). Just don't...
Tony Taka DecultureDoes anyone else notice how often Tony placed the hands/feet outside of the picture? I guess people pointed out to him how often he messed up those so he just doesn't even try anymore, lol.
Oh well, good stuff as usual.
FansubsWhat do you expect from groups calling themselves "yourmom" or "n*gger"...
That being said, some serious groups take the whole "stay faithful to the original" too literal. True, some stuff should stay untranslated (best example being honorifics... w...
Suzaku KururugiActually, I just got an even better idea. We should ask that guy from the "Will it blend?" vids to buy one of these and throw it in the blender...
Oh My GoddessActually, no, I don't want this. Why? Bell's face is just URGH. I think I've seen one similar to this one though, it was all white and DID look awesome. I believe that one was a custom-made job though.
As for my weak points, oh god yes. 2 years of i...
