To each their own. All I know is I'm not the type to be cut out for optimism, but I can't speak for anyone else.

I know, I know..."there's a tech post!" Yes...there is. However, we are anime-fans. There-to-fore we buy stuff. Lots of stuff. You know...blu-rays, figures, questionable eastern erotic plush pillows (I am just GLARING at you Mr. Elon Musk!)... So, what's the latest that you have added to your acquisition? Doesn't have to be tech, doesn't have to be anime. Me? I added a light. Just a light. With USB ports. And a bulb. - Oh and I guess I bought a nightstand with it.

I’m the original poster, I asked this question because I really was disgusted by a lot of anime/ more but more so manga and hentai anime depicting children in sexual scenarios. I think for me I can know it’s not really children, it’s not real fotos, but I often wonder if people who draw porn of small children in their manga, are they using real child porn as references, I don’t know,l??? will they ever admit to it? Idk do I think all use references of chile porn? no, do I think all mangakas who draw lolis are pedophiles, no. But im sure some are and it’s always itching at the back of my head if I’m seeing art inspired by child porn. It’s hard to avoid it, you Google an anime you like and loli art pops up, suggestions, I think for me my heart gets heavy everytime I think of is this based off a real child? Did they trace over a real child. Child porn in Japan wasn’t illegal till 1999 and illegal to own until 2014. You could go to a store and buy it in the shady section. I know not everyone who like lolis are pedos, but I know some are and considering how lax publishers are with publishing anyone’s work it’s disturbing I think people who make this type of art should be investigated and made sure they aren’t doing anything nefarious. If I could have it my way i wouldn’t ban it causing banning things makes things worse; at least at first I’d make the public image of loli unpalatable by exposing all the disgusting things it portrays and basically sometimes you need to shame people foe why they like. And then once it’s let’s “normal” to the public I’d ban it. In a perfect world. Basically I think background checks should be done for people who draw this type of pornography. Sexualization of children, even in manga should be taken more seriously. For me, maybe I’ve become more sensitive to it but even if I’m watching an anime I like that is relatively free of anything sexual or weird it’s always at the back of my head that I’m participating. I like anime and manga, I search it up and BAM, suggestion “I’m not a lolicon trending manga is being suggested, and so many things where i feel ill explode. Do you at least understand what I’m trying to say or convey? Can you understand why I’m disturbed, as a woman who was once a young girl as well it’s just I feel disrespected in away, exploited? Thank you everyone who’s answered this thread, truly I’ve felt isolated or weird by the way I feel. I love to draw and I love animation and anime has done so many great things but I just often wonder peoples true intentions when they draw things. Even anime that’s pretty normal if they have a weird shot of a young girls legs for too long, I’m like why? Is the animator a pedo? Is it just to pander to loliicons? I can’t ever know who is a pedo and how is a lolicon. Some like cartoons others real children. Sometimes they overlap and because I have to see it when I searching up anime or cute anime girl. It’s like HERES HER 8 year old ASS. It’s like a little knife to the heart everytime. Alwyas at the back of my mind. Why? I saw that vice vidoe where they talk about manga and it’s underage porn problem. Some guy who publishes manga, he has a job and he said “ I draw this manga based off real sex crimes against children in Japan, not my own experiences. And I was like OH UM THATS STILL DISGUSTING SIR. Go to jail and for. Who would do that?? Draw sex crimes. He admitted this on camera. He also admitted he was a pedofile and this helps to keep him from committing. Bullshit my ass he does it because he is either A. Is committing or B. Scared to commit cause he’ll get caught. The manga you draw just fuels it. You admitted to drawing about REAL CASES. If you disagree please tell me why? I genuinely want to know. How can you disassociate the two. How are you ok with seeing it. Even if you don’t enjoy it. I see it and immediately want to vomit. I used to not be so sensitive I don’t know why I am now, am I just becoming more aware of how damaging it is to me? And society idk. Lastly wanted to add when I say loli I mean in the sense of child being drawn in sexually suggestive manner or blatant pornography. Boy or girl. Seeing a girl or boy who looks 10 with their ass out is not something we need to see, it’s not funny or adds to the plot, it’s just weird. People who like lolis cause they’re cute and not sexualized, that’s different. I like cute characters too, it’s the sexualizing. Why do I need to see her vagina indent in her panty shot?? It’s happened too many times. It’s just too acceptable, people who like this stuff will still exist I just wish it was harder to find and more obscure, if it has to exist.

Just asking ;>

madhouse? Gkids? ADV? Crunchyroll? Who comes out with the best anime series and movies?

So you are aware many anime get edited before they get here. Name some of your favorite scenes that should have been there. Also Ghost Stories did the opposite, taKING A G-RATED SHOW AND MAKING IT R

Anyone care to list recommendations for anime type PSX PSP PS2 games? I've googled for awhile and I'm only finding the same old Naruto dragonballz type games. I need something not well known and/or obscure. Thanks and have a great weekend.

Thought I would go ahead, and start this topic here in manga as we have one of these for anime so thought why not manga too. Here you can post what manga you are currently reading, or are reading next in your list. Minor dissolution about the series, or suggestions are also ok, but please keep spoilers on the lite side for those that do not want to be spoiled before reading a series. As for me at this time. I am reading Maddoka Magica after just finishing the anime. I have to say the manga is a bit better in my opinion despite being a manga created after the anime to my best understanding. That is not normally the case, but I am glad for it in this one. So what about you guys what are you reading. ^^

Hi gamers, and anime fans here is the newest minecraft topic for anime forums. There have been a couple in the past, but they are very old. Since Minecraft is still fairly popular thought may as well kick off the new gaming forum by starting a new topic for Minecraft. So what do you guys like about the game, and the minecraft community as a whole. What do you do in Minecraft most of the time. By the way feel free to post images here just please do not advertise things like servers as that dose technically go against the forum guidelines. Though if you want to mention what you do on servers, or a specific server in conversational context that is ok. So lets all talk Minecraft guys.

Hiiii again! I've finally got some photoshoots happening with my anime bjds, so I thought I'd share them here. I'm gonna start with my newest doll but will probably add some more as I take them. There's a few on my profile too as status updates. The final photo at the bottom is my setup for today's shoot I go a little nuts with the sparkles, lol

I’m going to check out Sakamoto Days as part of a badge challenge on MAL

I freaking love that song! Christian Woman and Love You to Death are two of my personal favorites from Type O. You've got me on a Type O kick now! Type O Negative - My Girlfriend's Girlfriend

My main hobby outside of writing has been doing BJD (ball jointed doll) customization. Mine are anime-styled, so the eyes I make out of resin are also more along the lines of an anime look. I design the irises in ibispaint, drawing em myself, and then print them and encase them in resin. It's a fun process! I will share some dolls I create once my supplies arrive.

Need help with a name of anime I seen years ago it was about a elf girl who starts high school at a human school and become friends with a human boy

I painted these bjd heads recently! The eyes are also made by me with resin.

there was an anime that i watched on youtube where a girl who's short and has brown haired pigtails dated a tall guy with black hair in elementary but the guy is popular so their peers do not approve of their relationship and could always find ways to sabotage it. the mc's friend also dated a blond guy and they often do double dates. one of the episodes include the main character and her boyfriend playing a flute on the roof and one where they had physical education on the gym and they were learning dance (?). i watched the whole series on youtube and could find it on google then but i forgot the name
