Paj! Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 My first bit of Xmas shopping - a Patrick Wolf tea towel, with the lyrics to his song "House" on it. For my mum, who loves the song. £7 Oh I love this house I love this house Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known
MoogleViper Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I've been keeping naughty Steph here (don't ask why) and she says buy it. At least I think that's what she said. Her mouth's full, bless her. If only I'd taken the opportunity at Alton Towers. That could have been me.

Coolness Bears Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 May not be a masterpiece but I have a soft spot for the series, I have the DVD's of collection 1 but now I have a blu ray player that can player any region blu ray i'll re-buy the blu ray eventually. Jealous. I wish I had that but at the same time I don't because I would by so much anime from Japan. I'd be skint. :p
Emerald Emblem Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 That looks disgusting. It is kinda ain't it? Her power works by consuming calories so the bad guys who brainwashed her fitted that device that gives her calories so she can fight without losing her power.
Shorty Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 It is kinda ain't it? Her power works by consuming calories so the bad guys who brainwashed her fitted that device that gives her calories so she can fight without losing her power. He probably meant all the half naked children.
Emerald Emblem Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) He probably meant all the half naked children. They aren't children though, but thats anime for you. ;p Jealous. I wish I had that but at the same time I don't because I would by so much anime from Japan. I'd be skint. :p I assume you can understand Japanese correct? Or is it just owning them the satisfaction you get? Edited December 8, 2011 by Emerald Emblem
MoogleViper Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 He probably meant all the half naked children. Half naked children, disgusting? You and I are on very different pages.
Cube Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 They aren't children though, but thats anime for you. ;p Don't animes/mangas get away with it by simply not stating the ages of the characters?
Emerald Emblem Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Don't animes/mangas get away with it by simply not stating the ages of the characters? True some anime/manga do that, there are plenty who do give that info away but those normally are with visual novel/manga and graphic novel adaptions.
MoogleViper Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 They aren't children though, but thats anime for you. ;p But they are schoolgirls? So at best they're 16/17.
Coolness Bears Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I assume you can understand Japanese correct? Or is it just owning them the satisfaction you get? Nah, I can't speak Japanese. Would be cool if I could! It would merely be the satisfaction of owning some of my favourite series. Plus because I've watched them before hand I would know what's going on and can sit back and enjoy the visuals.
Goafer Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 But they are schoolgirls? So at best they're 16/17. The age of consent is 13 in Japan, although local authorities can impose their own age (pretty much 18 everywhere).
Emerald Emblem Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 But they are schoolgirls? So at best they're 16/17. Well they are in a special forces group called the Pretty Girl Squad, all the girls in it are taught in an academy.
MoogleViper Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 So this is soft-core hentai thinly disguised as anime? Well they are in a special forces group called the Pretty Girl Squad, all the girls in it are taught in an academy. And this academy requires it students to rip their clothes off and expose their breasts?
Emerald Emblem Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Believe it or not, no. It's an anime that pokes fun at the shounen genre, it's like a less epic Gurren Lagann is it's common comparison only with superpowered people instead of giant robots. Of course there is fanservice but somewat censored whether it be torn clothes or convenient body positioning. But yeah, this whole discussion has taken this topic off track enough.
MoogleViper Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Well I googled Needless to try and find out how old the girls are meant to be. Unfortunately I didn't find that information, but I did find their bust, waits and hip measurements. I also found this tasteful fight scene featuring multiple up skirt shots. As well as this, which frankly needs no comment. Yep, definitely a respectable anime.
Emerald Emblem Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Yep, definitely a respectable anime. *cough* Yes, that's one side of the show in a nutshell. The Simeon girl squad was used a lot for fanservice and humour. But they are only half the story and aren't even main characters. It's not a respectable anime, it's just one crazy ride that makes you think "What the hell did I just watch?" Edited December 8, 2011 by Emerald Emblem
