Speaking of not-manga a whole bunch of Korean drama comics are constantly released by Tokyo Pop, It does not matter, we live in the wrong hemisphere.

Check this out dude, the people who under 25, especially the ladies,
and all those Kingdom Hearts fans, who dress in that black non-goth ( but it is still is goth ) fashion, tell me "they are graphic novels, and are
more sophisticated". What is sad is how all, the original 1965 people agree with them.

Because they are young and gets the support, from the older crowd.
They will never listen. Saying the word, comic is like saying the f-word,
to them. They get so angry.

It is like....no place for old men, but instead is no place for no hipsters.

I loved reading Galaxy Espress 999 every month. My mom worked at Borders back then and I'd go there and read all the manga.  I fell in love with Battle Angel Alita. Too bad that one didn't get a good anime release, just that one kinda lame OAV. Now when I go to a book store and see the manga it's all girl stuff and naruto. None of that dark edgy stuff from the 80s and 90s. Back then all the manga on the shelf was dark, only romance stuff was like Ranma, Kimagure Orange Road and Ah My Goddess.

That's too bad, we get all sorts varied titles around here. Hell even the local library carries some decent manga and comics.

Back then our idea, of mature was boobies, blood, and profanity. The majority of buyers was men, as well. That alongside horror, and sci-fi it exsisted. Looking back, you realize that people were immature and while some had the right idea, this nation never had the respect for it. I am talking like back then in the early 1990's.

Generally everything released nowadays, is censored, still but is obviously made for children no matter which way. Even the sexploitative animations that came over here
were censored. Chung Lee bathing scene in Street Fighter the Movie was censored.......cough cough localized.

Let me say how stupid people are. You have this comic ( the illusionist or something ) and it is promoted as a plus size women comic. Like cloud princess from Adventure time is really all that.

About the darkness, that is how the city life, was and it matched the world that we lived in, at that time. I miss those jolly rancher days. It was the stench of the youth, the mercury smell of the streets, and the sounds of hard drives beeps, bleeps, and bops.

It is odd how they censor anime now. Shit like Queen's Blade is perverted as hell but they show it on Crunchy Roll with censored boobies. WTF is with that? The show is basically just flat out porn...censored.

I think Japan has shrunken back(pun intended) on nudity to some degree, atleast with anime.  For instance, in Dragon Ball Z Kai, they always cover up young Goku's doodle, where in the past, it was no big deal, since it wasn't sexual in the first place, but apparently now it is.  Kinda strange.

Yeah, it's something that has been going on since the late 80s when parents started getting concerned. I have issues of Jump weekly from as far back as 1985 that often have full frontal nudity...not going to happen now.

What I find stupid though is that on the whole there is way more creepy shit in mainstream shows now than there used to be. There are a full dozen shows on TV at any given time that are predicated on teen panty shots. Whether or not there is actual nudity in these shows or not doesn't make them any more or less creepy. Honestly, cleaned up H is even worse that full on H, to me.

Of course there was really horrible murder rape stuff in the 80s and 90s like Overfiend and Cool Devices but it was OVA series directed at adults, not mainstream TV anime aimed at 14 year olds sponsored by Bandai and Sony.

The casual nudity in shows like Ranma or even sometimes the early Gundam shows is gone, but there are tons of shows where either cleavage or barely concealed asses take up 25% of their run time.

It's all f*cked up.

I think Japan has shrunken back(pun intended) on nudity to some degree,

Japan is going threw a nationalist state right now. The lolita fashion also reflects the current mens fiction trend, Also because people like us, go over their alot, The government has tighten censorship. Anything that happens over since 2004, like a bunch of men coming out and admitting the priest all touched them, will also affect over their. Alot of Japanese people are also coming here to work. I mean, it seriously, it is insane. Then their was that retarded crying monkey mascot, which a couple of Africanized Japanese protested, I mean seriously, it is not Amerika, it is Japan. Then they have a retarded space housing issue, with the worlds smallest house, to apartments.

Back then being naked, never really mattered at all. It was moving towards the idea of nudism spreading, but because everybody got
old and tired, nobody is fighting for anything. All the fun got sucked out.

We start to mix with westerners, and now look the place.

Yeah too many pedo lurking about.  I remember many years ago (I was 6 or 7 then, visiting Japan) at an outdoor water park it was rare to see anyone under 8 wearing swimsuit.  A few had just underwears or panties, but most were fully nude.  I didn't go get wet as I didn't have towel back then.  I bet that water park now requires swimsuit

No, no it is not about perverts, at all. It is because our generation grewe up, and the older generation was ignored, and the newer generation are getting all sorts of stupid ideas, like the ones you mention. Things were innocent and normal back then, and now their is so much peace, they need something else to be against. Nobody is a pedo, and if so, it is small occurrences. Back then when I was growing up, everybody was calling all rape sex, and now they are calling straight people, pedophiles. The more people talk about things the more they come true. Now their a bunch of retarded laws, that defend paranoid people. Okay? They took normal actions between men and women and turned it into, an all out war between girls and boys. It is like nobody grew up, when it came to sex. Romance is something that is innocent, and is up to people to decide these things, not for the mass media to turn it into, sissory.

I blew a kiss to somebody outside, you know what they did? They tried to take a picture of me, and called 911. Not even yuck, or some sorta negative response, but snapping pictures at me, with a blasted cell phone, because I blewed a kiss. Do you want your children to live in that kind of a world??? 911, officer this guy blew a kiss at me. Some states in the US, have laws where you can't even curse out-load, even if you are in danger.

One day we are all going to have a chip that will talk back to you. It is called a fish tank environment, where people who do not want to live near you, will see you on their tracking meter built into a cell phone.

Their is a difference between reality and fiction. These morons, are conceiving the idea of censorship, even into our art? Why?? Because idiots like us all own cellar phones and will pay for data that has no trade value. You think it is not costing you anything, but on a scale of millions that is billions of pounds, added up. All your getting is something that will never add-here to the next generation and will die, when you die.

This thread has been buried for a bit too long.

I've been watching the new(er) Lupin series. "Lupin the Third: A Woman Named Fujiko Mine" and been enjoying it so far. Has anyone else been watching anime lately?

I actually watched High School of the Dead awhile in the background ago while I was working on other stuff.  Damn, that show is all fanservice. 

Still working on Nadia, but I kind of dropped off when I hit the filler.  I'm almost done with it but need to just take the time some weekend and barrel through. 

I also started watching some Angel Beats which seems okay, but I'm only like a couple episodes in. 
Gredler: spread her legs and push her down to make her more lively<br>***<br>majors: You used to be the great man, this icon we all looked up to and now your just a pico collecting 'tard...oh, how the mighty have fallen...<br>***<br>_joshuaTurbo: Sex, Lies, Rape and Arkhan. A TurboGrafx love story
