but we all know how well a dedicated thread to the subject would go.

It would be better than bringing that poison into Sailor Moon at least. Please.

 

[Stitch]

That's not how you spell German.

But that's the awesome intro. The other ones from the shitty group "super moonies" were terrible. Fucking RTL 2 ruined everything...

 

[Crash Station]

I've been talking about it in here so much just because it was finally somewhere where it seemed like a couple other people were also trying to articulate similar viewpoints, but we all know how well a dedicated thread to the subject would go.

I think there's enough mods knowledgable about the subject to keep a thread like that civil provided they made it clear they were being stricter than usual. Of course the thread would still be a graveyard.

The actual track record on such matters is not good.

 

[PKrockin]

That intro is so damn catchy. I haven't seen the show but I watched the intro one time a few days ago and it's been stuck in my head ever since I added this thread to my subscriptions.

Hmmm its really weird too see a bunch of clearly smart people confuse Pedophiles with Ephebophiles. The later isnt considered abnormal btw, anyone calling these otaku being atracted to 15 year old girls pedos is wrong. I mean if that were true i got a lot of friends who are pedos(they are over 20 but age of consent here is 14)

 

[Branduil]

I haven't called anyone a pedophile here. I've said that I dislike the dishonesty demonstrated in some aspects of K-On (and in similar media, but K-On is a good example precisely because of how popular and well known it is) by both creators and a section of the fandom between its surface intentions as an utterly innocent show and something more...fetishized. I hesitate to even call it sexualized, although that's part of it, fetishized does seem like the more appropriate word.

I don't think the issue is whether or not creepy stuff exists in anime; it unquestionably does. The problem with using the K-on anime to talk about it is that it's a rather tame series by any measure. K-on is made to bear a multitude of anime sins simply due to its popularity. And I'm still not sure I get why being a blatant pervert is better than being a "secret" one.

 

[encephalon]

Which stuff? I know some people have suggested

Spoiler

Agate/Tita

stuff, or is this somthing from TC?

I forgot about the

Agate/Tita

stuff, but I'm dubious of stuff their intentions with Zero no Kiseki's

Spoiler

child character sleeping in the main character's bed

and Sen no Kiseki's

Millium character creeps me out.

Although of note, 3rd refers to the aforementioned

Agate/Tita thing as an "age-difference relationship" or something.

That's not how you spell German.

I honestly love this intro and it's not just nostalgia, it's awesome.

But that's the awesome intro. The other ones from the shitty group "super moonies" were terrible. Fucking RTL 2 ruined everything...

The replacement intros weren't good but RTL 2 hardly ruined anything when they were the ones saving Sailor Moon after ZDF dumped it. RTL 2 had R to Sailor Stars dubbed and they made helped turning the show into such a big success in germany.

One thing I'll be interested to see is how quickly they bring the team together. The inner senshi are all assembled within the first eight chapters in the manga, but it takes something like 33 episodes in the original anime. The length will definitely play a role in determining this, I would think.

I'm hoping so as well, considering Venus feels tacked on in the anime, despite existing before everyone else. She just came way too late before they could really do more development on her. Hopefully this aspect is changed up at the very least.

Could you possibly make a thread for this discussion to keep it out of this one? It's growing irksome to check this thread for updates about the show when it's instead just a bunch of slapfighting and handwringing.

Sorry for derailing it, i wont create a new thread about it though, because theres nothing to discuss, i wont talk about it anymore here.

Probably not a good idea to double down. Ever.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Some of them 14-year old girls are really mature for their age, Esco. And so developed!

They got bike riding and tetherball down to a science.

 

[MikeHattsu]

So... Uh... Sailor Moon, eh?

 

[Austriacus]

I dont need to double down on anything, im a psychology student. If i ever called one of these people pedophiles i would be quite literally the laughing stock in my group. People are free to use words however they want, as long as they know there is a difference between being sexually atracted to a 10 year old and a 15 year old girl theres no issue. I now understand that americans refer to it as a general term for anyone who commits the crime of assaulting or has feelings for someone that isnt in the age of consent(which doesnt apply to where i live). Now back to your regular Senshin schedule.

 

[PKrockin]

So uh... why is it called Sailor Moon? Moon, I get, but Sailor? Don't tell me the sailor fuku?
