Have you watched the movie, Hanasaku Iroha: Home Sweet Home? If not I highly suggest you watch it. I really enjoyed both the series and the movie.

I did not mean that I now find them sexualy arousing, not sure how you got that from what I said. What I mean is that I used to find them slightly disturbing, but I now understand the cutesy appeal of them. I still don't find sexualized lolis appealing in 98% of cases, but I understand that their appeal is different than that of real children to most loli lovers. (After that it all depends on whether you consider characters like Mikan Yuuki for example as loli characters, I've seen debates on the subject before and I certainly don't consider myself an expert.) As an example, I like Miyauchi Renge as a character because she's cute and funny, but I certainly don't want to see her anywhere near a penis. I just don't care that other people like them in that way, as long as it doesn't hurt real people they're free to fap to whatever they want.

From seeing how other recent debates went, I agree with Niko that it's pointless to push the argument any further, I can already see things starting to go in circle. On topic. Lolis used to bother me a little, but after posting here for over a year and immersing myself in the world of anime and visual novels, I not only have come to accept and understand lolis, I even now like a few of them!

People get instinctively violent when the subject comes up. I know people who would straight up castrate any pedophile whether he acts upon his impulses or not, and their opinion is generaly well accepted by mainstream society . There are reasons why it is generally not accepted. I'm usualy on the defending side when the subject of lolis come up, but there are things one just can't morally support. I recently saw someone on NeoGAF say that he would straight up punch someone in the face if he saw him playing a game like Monster Monpiece in public.(and there aren't even any sex scenes!) People can get irrational when it comes to these things.(Not that this kind of behavior is any less stupid.) People around here actualy got arrested and added to the Canadian sex offender registery simply for having downloaded hentai of characters that looked like minors.(Which I admit makes me a bit nervous lol.)

I recently finished Tokyo Magniture 8.0. They really rub it in to make sure you're super sad huh? The last episode was a mind numbingly depressing cry fest, but otherwise I found the rest of the series enjoyable. It was a bit plain in both visuals and execution, but it was fitting with what the anime wanted to present. The last plot twist was kind of awkwardly done and one of my friends called it outright manipulative, but it was still powerful enough to provoke manly tears. It was also a little annoying how characters would constantly wander off on their own despite promising not to and adults generally failing at watching over them. I started Date A Live since a lot of people here seem to like it and I liked the character designs. It's very fanservicey, but not on a level that I would call ecchi.(They still don't have nipples even in the BD versions!) The story seems interesting so far and the girls are cute (Origami for looks and Tohka for personality being my favorites I guess.) I started yesterday and am almost done with season 1 now. I've also been making progress in Hunter X Hunter after my friend pressured me into watching it. Up to episode 16 now, still a long way to go before I catch up! As for the season's new shows : My faves so far : 1. Barakamon 2. Akame Ga Kill 3.SAO2 4.Zankyou no Terror, 5.Hanayamata Others I've been watching : Blue Spring Ride, Glasslip (much disapointment so far), Aldnoah.Zero. I also plan on checking out Tokyo ESP, Fate Illya whenever I get around to finishing season 1 and maybe Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun.

For a long time I've considered Chaotic Good as my ideal. (Old time AD&D player here >_>;; ), but nowadays I consider myself leaning a lot more towards a true neutral alignment, at least in accordance to what I would consider my ideal values.

Got a brand new Vita "The Walking Dead" bundle for my birthday last weekend. I bought Ys : Memories of Celceta so I've been alternating between this and Walking Dead(Telltale's). Both have been quite fun so far. I'm liking the touch screen controls in The Walking Dead. I also had a moment of weakness and ordered To Love-Ru Darkness : Battle Ecstasy, though it only shipped today so I don't have it yet. (Seems like a real treat for TLD fans though.)

After looking through both exhentai and gelbooru for Date A Live H, it seems there is a severe lack of Origami love. It's almost just Kurumi and Yoshino doujins, with a little Tohka and barely any Origami at all. No love for my white haired beauty it would seem. Also found out Boichi did a hentai manga called "Lovers in Winter". Kinda cool to see actual H from a somewhat popular manga artist.

I've been forgetting to post them for a while, but here are those that haven't expired yet : LTEBZT3TVLD exp : Oct 12, 2014 C5ZHA3UKCXP exp : Sep 12, 2014 XXXGWJR3T7A exp : Aug 13, 2014

I finished reading Soil, by Atsushi Kaneko. Overall I really enjoyed it, confirming Kaneko as one of my current favorite mangakas, though the ending left me somewhat confused, I will have to read it again later. It only got weirder as it progressed, as if we were truly stepping into another dimension. It had a quirky cast of characters that helped keep things interesting as well. I also started Solanin by Inio Asano. It looks like a really good slice of life so far, a bit less depressing than Oyasumi Punpun and Nijigahara Holograph. I also really like the art. (I think Punpun might be the only manga to ever have made me shed a tear.) I'm also reading K-On College, which is an amusing 4-koma, as well as Palepoli by Usamaru Furuya, which is also 4-koma but more on the fucked up artsy side(and it's brilliant!), started Nozokiana and also have K-On High School and Taiyou Matsumoto's Sunny to read later.

I came to this topic a bit late, but it has been an interesting read. (many walls of text though ) I admit I had mixed feeling when I first saw the Grisaia localization announcement. On one hand I'm glad the game is getting more exposure in the west, on the other I think the h-scenes in Grisaia were some of the best in any VN I read(probably some of the only ones I actualy liked reading), and I'm one of those crazy fans who imported the game so it miffed me a bit to lose access to the patch.(Well technicaly I still have it on my PC so no biggie. I also understand that most people who would download the patch would just look for a downloadable copy.) As for Planetarian well I'm just happy all the way. Anyway, I digress, the main thing I wanted to say is that I also think what Mayumi suggested is the best compromise for both parties. If there is ever a restoration patch for Grisaia like KonoSora's I think it should go on the main site though.

I'm about halfway through Katanagatari and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. Both are pretty good in their own way so far. One of my friends also convinced me to start Hunter X Hunter. I liked what I had read of the manga, but I didn't really feel up to catching up on 100+ episodes until now. Also watched Kaze Tachinu which was pretty good as well. Studio Ghibli know how to do their thing, like always. Gorgeous animation.

I read and collect a lot of manga, but I'm mostly into seinen. I try to stick to one manga per artist for my top 5. 1. Oyasumi Punpun by Inio Asano 2. Billy Bat by Naoki Urasawa 3. Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo 4. Berserk by Kentaro Miura 5. Bambi by Atsushi Kaneko 6. Non Non Biyori by Atto 7. To Love-Ru Darkness by Kentarou Miura and Saki Hasemi 8. Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa by Hayao Miyazaki (yeah, I stretched it to a top 8, sue me. )

I started both Katanagatari and Haikyuu!!. Both have been very enjoyable so far. I really like the visuals in Katanagatari. I've also been watching a few episodes of Medaka Box here and there.

I'm mostly just subscribed to anime and video games musical covers channels : Smooth McGroove Jonas Lefvert joshagarrado Taylor Davis Animenz Piano Sheets Douglasfarellmusic (a friend of mine) BKMJMBOX (even though there hasn't been a new video in forever) Non musical : CGR Undertow AlphaOmegaSin

The oldest I can think of that I've seen : UFO Robot Grendizer (known as Goldorak over here) from the mid 70's, Astro Boy 80's version and Space Pirate Captain Harlock (known as Albator around here) from the late 70s. All of those were airing dubbed in french when I was a kid.

I stream on CR from my PS3 because I'm kinda lazy and it's convenient for me to just log in and watch stuff on the living room's big TV. I get most of the rest that isn't there from Nyaa or BakaBT, while also buying blu-rays and dvds from time to time.

I can't get tired of this : http://youtu.be/er_N6Dr6kGk
