Hey so I want to have an open conversation about something I think people maybe overlook or try not to think to heavily about, which is what I did for a long time but recently I can’t anymore it’s like my mind unlocked info and now I can’t turn it off. We all know anime has a lot of fan service right? Well usually I can ignore it cause it’s usually just a high-school girl with big boobs and her panties are showing, stereotypical. I’m talking about the other issue. The sexualization of very young girls and or young looking girls. For example, I’m scrolling on a website to read a manga and I come across one with a girl in elementary school flashing her panties and I’m like what is this? I just ignore it but I do want to ask how is it so widely accepted? I know most people see it and go oh god but we also like don’t riot or try and take it down. It’s considered freedom of expression or the argument is “the author isn’t a pedo he likes anime lolis”. It got me to thinking though when manga artists who do draw sexualized anime girls( specifically very young ones) are they using a reference in their head? Do they have a reference of a real life little girl and use her to draw, or is it more they use reference of a made up adult but just makes them smaller in their head, or do they use other loli characters as reference so on and so fourth or do they make up the anime girl completely without any reference whether real or fake. I just couldn’t get it out of my head if they’re using real children as reference to draw whether they use fotos of images in their head of real kids they’ve seen. Even big time anime’s or mangakas will draw young girls flashing their non existent cleavage or showing panties, one good example is Shirō from no game no life. she’s literally 11 but so sexualized. It’s so prevalent in other shows and mangas and they tend to be created by men as well. I love anime and manga, I really do, but I just wanted to get opinions from other people who see this happening as well, how do you cope? Or are you also not coping well. Do you have any more knowledge and insight from artists who do draw loli characters? Are they not using real kids and reference. The problem here to is there will be artists who are creeps and do use real children, I guess I’m talking about the majority of the community that draws that kind of stuff, what do they use as reference if any. Thank you for listening to me ramble, I just feel like this is an important topic and want to talk to other people who either feel the same way I do or who have different opinions or thoughts. :)

I'm curious to know if you can think of any magical girl anime that you find even "girlier" than Tokyo Mew Mew because I want to watch a magical girl series that is even "girlier" than it

i feel this should be in the cosplay area of the forum https://myanimelist.net/anime/48736/Sono_Bisque_Doll_wa_Koi_wo_Suru?q=My Dress-Up Darling&cat=anime

Way too many anime girls are super skinny. Like impossibly so. What thicc anime girls do you like?

Helped mom cook dinner recently was the last thing I did for someone else. What's your favorite anime to relax to?

So this was bound to be asked sooner, or later right. I just wanted to talk a bit about what everyone likes best about anime cons in particular the ones you regularly go to. For me I like the room parties, panels, and just hanging out with new people. I have made a good amount of friends at cons throughout the years, and hoping to continue that trend. So what about you guys.

The rules are simple. You post a picture and the name of an anime character, and the continue in alphabetical order! Example! User 1: Asuna (Sword Arts Online) [picture of Asuna here] User 2: Burter (DBZ) [picture of Burter here] Okay, so I'll start! Agiri (Kill Me Baby) latest?cb=20140222033332

I’m personally a huge fan of doctor who, a British sci-fi show about time travel. Cheesy? Yes. Melodramatic? A bit, yes. Amazing? Obviously!!!!

The anime's name is Shimoneta to lu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai

Created the character type called dual blade on Maple Story. I was playing a demon character. I have never tried this character type and wanted a change this time playing.

In class the other day, my teacher asked which cartoon character I would be best friends with. I said shizou from Durarara! because we both have anger issues lol. Anyways, that gave me the idea to ask here. If you could be best friends with any anime character, who would it be and why?

woof~, so the above images are wanted individuals take two woof~, so i ask the question~ which familiar would you rather have, and would rather take care of, spend time with, and have an overall enjoying/fun time with, if you could pick one of the three types of animal's ? (that being a cat girl, a fox girl, and a dog girl [based on image order]) personally, im more of a dog lover, but i like all animals overall, buttttt, since the question isn't "which pet would i take care of" ill go for fox-girl, as i enjoy their slyness, and are just overall 10/10 for my loveliness, i didn't pick a cat girl as, well, they are not bad, but comparing them to a fox, which is just almost perfect to me, is well, yknow >.> as for not picking a dog girl, i feel i'd have a more fun time with a fox girl's charm love appreciation, than a dog girls, though since it is a dog girl, their ability of being loyal to their loved one should be hella max'ed, thus making them 100% cuter than the rest, but im still sticking with fox girl, whom im to spend time with and also, fox-girls are more fun to lewd at but what about you ?!, which of the three would you pick ?!, and why would you pick that familiar, rather than the other two ? lets have a "DISH"-cussion~! ...did i use that pun before ?, i-i forgot >_>...im not sorry tho' <.> note; this is based on familiar-type not pet-type, incase you guy's might confuse it as, taking care of a pet >.< (so over all, a fantasy.... its fanta-"SEA"...still not sorry~!) edit: had to make image smaller, couse it looked wrong smh, also added poll, that i forgot to add >.>

I know it probably the dumbest one but I need this as an anime...

"The world isn't perfect. ... "We are all like fireworks: we climb, we shine and always go our separate ways and become further apart. ... "Fear is not evil. ... "Fear is freedom! ... "Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just because… ... “I want you to be happy. ... “Don't give up, there's no shame in falling down!

It's easy , just post some picture of whatever anime when you're bored ... i guess that gives you something to do... anything's fine .

Theres this anime similar to I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too (i think its similar) where theres a building on fire and he saves his friends from the building by surround himself with magic or water magic i think. Not sure if anyone can help or knows the anime but i would appreciate any ideas of what it could be

I started a new character on Wakfu. I am now making a character called a Eniripsa and I have always played as the character called a Cra. Eniripsa are healing type compare to a Cra which is damage type.

What anime actually made you feel inspired?

Come one and show some funny anime GIFs!!!! Sword Art Online: Free!: Noragami:

My favorite anime varies depending on what I'm currently watched and obsessed with but I guess one that has been my favorite for the longest time is Naruto since it was one of the first anime shows I got really interested in. It's between Digimon/Naruto/Inuyasha but yeah I will go with Naruto I guess. I guess I would be a ninja then if I was in the Naruto-verse. I would want to be in the leaf village or sand village. I would want to have some kind of ice or snow style type jutsu though since I always feel most at home in the snow and if I had an element style I think it would be ice and snow. I'd also like to have some sort of healing jutsu because I think being a medic/healer would suit me. Basing that solely on the fact that I enjoy helping people and I usually play healer types really well in MMO's I'm not very good at doing things and I'm often clumsy which leads me to believe I wouldn't last long but I also have incredibly amazing dumb luck that always keeps from getting injured badly so somehow I think I would survive. I guess I would probably just be added in unexpectedly too. Just show up one day like hello world I am here to mess things up and cause chaossss ~

anime comes in all kinds of shapes and forms with different genres, music and, of course, art! so what are some of your favourite anime artstyles? being an artist myself, whenever i watch something i can't help but admire the different styles and artistic aspects, so i definitely have to few. the first being... violet evergarden! an amazing show with a stunning artstyle. every scene is gorgeous <33 next we have bubble! there are some absolutely breathtaking scenes in this anime that never fail to deliver next up, we have a more generic (but equally as amazing) one. heaven official's blessing ^^ i don't know what it is about this artstyle, but i find it very satisfying. also the art in the opening and closing??? HELLO????? this time, a very different approach to the anime style. panty and stocking! it's a very unique style that stands out, and i love it with its vibrant colours and bold shapes and how could i forget the studio ghibli artstyle??? it's iconic and beautiful (not to mention the food! it always looks delicious ) and finally, we have danganronpa. while i will admit it doesn't have the prettiest style, danganronpa has been one of my favourite franchises for years now, and it's had a big impact on many aspects of my life, including my own artstyle for a long time! it's iconic, and one i hold dearly to my heart <33 but yeah, this isn't even the tip of the iceberg! some honourable mentions are: neon genesis evangelion, toilet bound hanako kun, kotaro live alone and many more ^^

Older anime such as from 90's-2000's. What is your favorite country to visit? If you haven't visited another country what would be the country you would pick to visit?

Hi Nightmare, welcome to Anime Forums.

I abandoned all my old website forums accounts as soon as Discord became a thing around 2017. It was a big mistake. I never understood how much I missed the privacy and inclusion of old website forums, not to mentioned I realized late last year just how much of a government op Discord is with how it logs all messages and data you give it. Discord is basically a keylogger. I also got tired of hearing pings and getting involved in discord drama. I want to go old school again and return to forums. This is a recreation of an old account I deleted on this forum a long time ago back in 2019. Now I am returning to the anime forums because people depend too much on corporate social media to connect and not enough on independent works like this. I am happy to be here again. And if you ask me to join your Discord, I'm going to say no. LMAO
