Want to watch it, but is it ok to like it?
Threads devoted to "my favourite anime" or "worst anime" are tired beyond belief.
Let's face it, once a forum is more than a year old, you can assume someone has already done a "best" or "worst" thread on the forum's major topic themes.
So lets try this variation, and allowing for recent not yet reached dvd anime as well as vintage choices.
Leading the pack for me currently in anime I am watching, but wondering, is it even possible to openly like it, is Moetan.
Yeah it's funny I guess. Just unsure if I should laugh at all of it (without checking to see if anyone is watching me laugh ).
For those that have not seen Moetan, the word "loli" is critical.
Is the loli genuine?
Well they "say" she's 17, they just decided to draw her as is she was a grade schooler for the sake of pushing the limits.
They make a lot fuss over intentionally drawing attention to the fact she looks like a gradeschooler.
But they compound the trouble by also going out of their way to draw in stuff that can only raise eyebrows
Who exactly was the assumed audience for the original airing of the show?
The show is basically a loli fan service effort for the most part.
But if anyone tries to object it's "no she's 17, so she's not an unacceptable age".
Meanwhile, I want to know, do I watch this and get rid of it, or watch it and keep it.
Even better, do I offer it to my anime buddies

i preview at least the first 3 episodes of new series that come out to see if they look like something i'll be interested in and the "wtf" factor for strike witches was through the roof. it's not enough for them to have a bunch of prepubescent girls flying around as an elite air force, but they have to have animal ears and tails whenever they use their powers AND their uniforms are all school swimsuits. seriously, i bet the guy who came up with the original idea for this series got a lot of raised eyebrows when he first submitted his idea.
as for moetan, i have not seen or heard of it until just now but i'll take a look and come back with an opinion. and if you want some more series with content similar then i suggest you check out kanokon and kodomo no jikan, i decided to not go past my 3 ep priview with those two series as i felt rather guilty just watching them.

That would be "kodomo no jikan" (literally "A Child's Time").OropherZero wrote:nothing beats kodo-whatever no jikan or some crap like that, it has a grade school loli trying to seduce her teacher from what i hear :/

I'm not real into are watch any anime that likes to push it with large amounts of loli fanservice
or any type of fanservice really. just not really my thing.
Probably strange considering i've made fanservice themed videos.o.O
If its like a small amount in a series then i probably wouldn't mind but a large amount would
usually turn me off even if it has a real good story.
I do get some certain anime like Moetan if they happen to have something that fits in an AMV im working
on. For example: I'm using the Moetan transformation sequence in a magical girl theme video
im working on.
Besides use for a music video, I doubt id ever actually sit and watch a series like that.
I suppose it would be okay to watch those kind of anime if you are into them for the story and stuff.
but if you are actually going after those shows only to see that kind of fanservice, then... you might have a problem. o.O
All i can say is check out an episode and see if you like it
If you think its worth keeping, keep it, if not, delete it.
You can offer it to your buddies if they might be into those kind of shows
Some people might think you are weird for sharing that though
