I don't think you can be voyeuristic and innocent at the same time. Of course, I don't think K-ON and the Idolmaster anime are particularly voyeuristic.

Doesn't Ghost in the Shell have some needless nudity?
But he started Berserk long before iM@S existed, and with his love for iDOLM@STER came a diminished pace for Berserk releases. Maybe iM@S is mellowing him out and turning him into a better person while he is forced to work on something disgusting like Berserk for the sake of his fans.
No. The large amount of nudity has a point. Something something dehumanization something I don't really feel like explaining this right now.
Berserk? Puerile and grotesque? As far as I know, Berserk is a manga about cute mermaids doing cute things.
Miura has always liked cute girls doing cute things He even praised the Shana novels back in 2003.

I haven't watched the movie in a while.
The Knight in the Area 5
this whole show feels so cheap and half-arsed. i'm gonna drop this and check out the manga instead.

Wow first failimations delays of fairy tail and now media blasters and putting one of my most wanted dvd's on indefinite hold. This is starting to be a terrible year for anime. I hope it gets a release date, I wanted to finally get to hear more of Eiji's dub voice, as well as Fukuda, etc.

Guess the episode was filler, since just about all 15 or so foods were fan creations (nice).
You should rewatch it. And watch GITS2 Innocence.
Voyeurism is the central conceit of Idolmaster's first episode.
I don't think it's possible to draw that much rape without liking it at least a little.
Really, the whole idea that adults enjoying underage girls in frequently suggestive scenario's, not as an (unfortunate) means to an art, but as an intrinsic desire is somehow less disturbing than adults not just enjoying a rendition of violence, but physically desiring mindless violence is more than silly.
Berserk's violence and rape isn't mindless at all, it's very deliberate and in-line with the story's ludicrously misanthropic worldview.
I'm not an adult. And K-ON and iM@S have very little suggestive scenarios. Invalid! And calling shit like Berserk and Ninja Scroll merely "a rendition of violence" is being silly. There is such thing as excessive and downright disgusting.
But yes, I think extreme violence is more deplorable than depicting underage girls doing stuff, which shouldn't be considered deplorable at all so long as it just stays that.
Have you forgotten that IMAS' very concept is a grown man creeping underage starlets? Do you wish, or have the ability to creep an underage starlet, Pizzaroll? I'm using your own argument. Also, I called Ninja Scroll what it is.
They were closer together in my memory.
On a scale of 1 to K-On S2 how wistful does that make you feel?
Sure, why not. I don't see anything wrong with it.
I'm saying that underage girl stuff isn't even comparable to the stuff that goes on in Berserk and the like. It's a whole different level of disgusting.
IM@S isn't a dating sim, it's a raising simulator. It's more Princess Maker than Love Plus, you aren't supposed to have a romantic relationship with the girls you're raising.
No, what you did was call yourself, and everybody watching IMAS, a probable pedophile. Unfortunate.
No, ephebophile. Which there's nothing wrong with.

What if your body is younger but you're actually like 2000 or something?

That's not how I view the documentary presentation of that episode. Its purpose was to introduce all the characters and the show's basic theme of "trying to become an idol", not to highlight the idols as targets of secretive male lust.

Wait, can't you have sexual relations in Princess Maker.
CreepyGAF is vindicated!
This would have been fine had he been talking about only himself.
There's plenty wrong with ehebophilia, luckily just watching an anime with it in it doesn't make you one, or a rapist/murderer.
This is what he said before; now he just saying that his comments were selfish and provocative and that he apologizes to all fans of Guilty Crown and Persona 4 for making them feel uncomfortable.

Such a brilliant display of manliness. If Aldebaran was more prominent, this would clearly be MANIME.

I think that's the wrong way to look at it. It's dark fantasy. That's the way the genre works, and sadly enough, it's in fact much closer to reality than high fantasy. Deal with it.
The truth is that well-adjusted people don't actually exist.
There's dark and then there's dark.
Yep. And then there's reality, which is even darker. Let that sink for a moment.

Fixed.
I'm pretty sure I don't live in a reality where every single person I know has been
sacrificed and tormented for someone's wish.

Well, Hiroyuki Yoshino and Ichiro Okouchi deserve all the criticism they can get, since otaku seem to buy their shit in droves.
They're going to cry themselves to sleep while hugging their pillows padded with yen.
Yep.
Still, I believe most of the excessive stuff in dark fantasy isn't meant to make the reader/ viewer feel good or arouse him, I believe it's meant to create a feeling of dread, disgust and anger. And having evil and despicable shit going on is a legitimate and effective way to reach that goal.
Not to mention the rape stuff in Berserk is extremely exaggerated to begin with. It happens, it happens to both genders, but it's certainly not like it happens every other page, or even every other volume, and it's never depicted in a "hot" way. Some exceptions like the eclipse aside, t's only implied.

Are writers even paid that much? Well, after the success of Code Geass, I imagine that at least they are.
Library Wars. Both war themed, and comedic.
