Has there been a more controversial anime than Kodomo No Jikan.
the manga shows more nudity
>>288646281Kuro > Rin > Mimi
>>288646281This show sucks bro, if you don't have a fetish for middle schoolers, you won't like the show. There is virtually zero story, character development. Watch episode 1, and then episode 12; nothing changed.
>>288646365
>>288646365>middle schoolers
>>288646365You're not the target audience then. Go back.
>>288646365KnJ is unironcially the greatest psychological drama manga of all time
>>288646281Does losing both parents really turn kids into sex crazed lunatics like Rin?
>>288646629It really stressed me out. I kept thinking sensei was going to end up in jail or that Rin's guardian would kill him
>>288646281Are we doing the daily chapter threads again? it was fun experiencing it with everyone.
>>288646281tourists will act like this is CP but it's really tame and boring.
>>288646739>doesn't get any love>tries to get one from her teacher>actually gets itwell jeez
>>288648017some people just need to keep it for themselves man
>>288647980I watched it and read the manga years ago and as the majority says it's more dramatic than anything. most things that include sex abuse i know of, work related, it's many things but sexy or arousingWTF my loli doujins lied to me
>>288646281Was it controversial at all? I don't recall any drama surrounding it.
>>288646281The second season of Yakusoku no Neverland
The glasses bitch was such a slut, her mom throws away her shitty manga and her first thought is running off with a random man and spreading her legs for food and board.
Wouldturn her over to the authorities for her safety and well-being.
>>288648647yeah 15gb of it doesn't seem like a lot. i could never be the kind who gathers like several tb of it
>>288646322the entire final third of the manga was skipped because it was too pure for this gay earth
>>288650056dang
I wasn't controversial back then, fucking Pipirupiru pipirupi was way more hated and attention drawing for some reason
>>288648479Mention this just about anywhere and it'll bring out the tourists in droves. You might even get banned if you say you liked it or that it was no big deal and everyone else is a sensitive nutjob.
>>288648479you'll always get pearl clutchers whenever the name comes up, but no one really gave a shit about it
>>288646365What people misunderstand about Kodomo no Jikan is that it's not just your average lolicon anime, but a critique and deconstruction of lolicon culture and the objectification of minors in anime media. While it presents itself with provocative imagery that initially plays into the expectations of a typical loli work, the narrative continuously subverts those expectations by confronting the reader with the real emotional, psychological, and social consequences of sexualizing children.Kodomo no Jikan forces the viewer to confront the blurred lines between empathy and exploitation. Not glorifying the themes, but exposing them for what they really are. The characters aren't just fantasy objects but victims of neglect and trauma, and how innocence can be twisted when viewed through fetishization. The series holds up a mirror to its lolicon audience and confronts them with the realities of sexualizing minors through their own gaze.While the execution of said themes could be handled more effectively, the story was genuinely ahead of its time. But Kodomo no Jikan's anti-pedophilia message goes over the heads of most otaku, who simply seek escapism in fantasy and it gets dismissed as just another loli anime. Ironically, misunderstanding the very phenomenon the work critiques. That audiences consume media superficially, ignoring the moral and realities it is based on.
>>288646281I watched one girl's reaction to Mushoku Tensei recently and she said it's worst anime since Kodomo no Jikan.
>>288647831give it some more time, it wasn't even that long ago. but it was very fun, can't argue with that
I was honestly amazed how touching and emotional the ending was.
>>288651105It truly is the modern day Lolita
Should I watch anime first or go straight for the manga?
>>288651389Just start with the manga.
>>288651389I did both, though I did the anime first, then once SaHa finished translating the manga, I read it. No idea where you get that scanlation now, I deleted it ages ago.
This seems to have the entirety of the series as translated by SaHa: https://dynasty-scans.com/series/kodomo_no_jikan
>>288651552>>288651704Yes that's it. It says so on page 6.
>>288646365Kodomo no Jikan is about primary schoolers, not middle schoolers. Middle schooler fetishists watch Chuu-bra! instead.
>>288651389i'd suggest the anime first since it's an incomplete adaptation and skips aroundthat way, when you get to the manga, you're getting new stuffother way around and you'll be disappointed by what's omitted
>>288651552There was a storytime of it a few months back, can just check the archive and read it from there
>>288646281Shoujo tsubaki
>>288651105Stop deluding yourself, the message of the work is "ah I wish my hot teacher would have banged me when I was little *schlick schlick schlick*"
>>288646281Yes.
>>288649182>spreading her legsI am sure she is already ovulating. Ovulation can make a girl do silly things.
>>288651552ToThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYq6QovmH1A
>>288651389watch then read, anime has an original ending
>>288651919oh I wasn't the only person who watched chuu-bra
>>288653688More people learn of Chuu-bra!! every day!
>>288653688JC are the best after all.
>>288651552sex
>>288653714*sniffffff*
>>288654081i like JS more but im biased because i work with those
>>288652772>watch the anime>read the manga>fap to the hentai>think about irl cunnyin that order
>>288652367many such cases irl, it is based ofc
>>288656506Wait do teenage girls seriously think this?
>>288650712>fucking Pipirupiru pipirupi was way more hated and attention drawing for some reasonDokuro-chan?
>>288656625oh yeah absolutely. i mean ofc a lot of the times unfortunately it doesn't work out or they get caught and reported but every now and then a few slip through the cracks and manage to have long term relationships. perhaps even get married and build families
>>288656686Wait so teenage girls sit in their class and fantasize about sucking their teacher's cock? Are you telling me, JKs are made for Ojisans?
>>288656837JK, JC, and JS alike, yes. that they are
R
A
>>288646281The only thing controversial about it is the fact that faggot Reiji getting with sexy oppai Mimi, when the half the manga was spent showing him being in the wrong for grooming Rin.Like he still got a girl the same age as Rin in the end, so what the fuck was the point?
>>288658535He was in the wrong because he was grooming a girl for a *wrong* reason(because he loved her mother instead of loving her for herself)
>>288646281I doubt it would be anywhere near the most controversial, any reasonable person would find merit in it. It is the kind of manga that would make you want to become an elementary school teacher, and not just for pedophilic reasons.
>>288651105Not really, while it condemns sexual abuse of children, with the depiction of the principal, and states that if one feels romantic feelings towards a child, they should not act on them and instead wait until the child is old enough, it does not condemn pedophilic attraction itself. It's an anti contact work, but it's not anti pedophilia.IIRC, it also portrays children having sexual feelings as something natural and not something to restricted.
>>288649161Why would that be controversial? Totally salvaged the shit premise and made it slightly interesting and watchable
>>288646281There are a lot, this one is tame at most.>kodomo no jikan : minimal complains when aired.>bobobo bo bobo : way too many complains when aired, no sponsorship after 6 episodes, still kept going for a long run with everyone working for free because they loved working on it either animators, seiyuus, etc, most worked part time to collect money to air their anime.>doto koni chan : first episode tells you a lot specially about moro dressed like a prostitute despite being 10 years and just like it was no big deal she mentions 3 times how much she whored herself the night before with random old men's for 10 to 50 yens.
>>288651552Promotions!
>>288646365>story, character developmentthe manga has a lot of that. anime didn't really get too much into it i think, all my memories from it are just the fanservice>don't have a fetishwell i can't blame you. i do think the manga is worth a read for the story but if you don't like one of it's main selling points then that's about it
>>288646281Depends on what you consider as "controversial"
>>288659554to "hot take" or "controversial" thing being that healthy male sexuality does include prepubescent girls and that it's ok that it does
>>288659554Damn brat..
Muslim justification story
>>288659770but enough about mushoku tensei
>>288659770Rudeus pliz...
>>288659554There is none.
>>288659770>he wouldn't convert and pray to allah daily if that would get him a waifu harem
>>288646322this
>>288651105>muh deconstruction
>>288646281cute
>>288646365>Watch
>>288651105this is pasta right? I've seen this exact paragraphs before
>>288659554she is so fucking powerfulbut her mom was power incarnate
>>288659554this artist is amazing but only posts to twitter and not pixiv for whatever reason lol
>>288663121obviously
>>288651389release order, the answer is always release order
>>288663412I hate artists so goddamn much
>>288651105>Media Literacy I fucking hate these niggers, it's just an edgy exaggerated romcom premase of a girl who had a precocious crush on his teacher but played with over the top lolicon fan service because the author (a woman) had an edgy sense of humor.The manga literally ends with the girl growing and dating the guy.
>>288651105Pasta is the best when reheated
>>288656434Leave the loli alone, anon
>>288663412Sauce? Looks Ai "assisted"
>>288663629i will not. i will hug and kiss that loli (among other things)
>>288646281Kodomo no Jikan is the reason I ended up in this hellhole all the way back in 2006.

>>288648479There was that drama between KnJ's author and another woman author but I can't remember the details anymore.
Please stop bumping this and let it disappear from our collective memory
>>288646365>if you don't have a fetish for middle schoolersWhy would one not have that fetish?
>>288663896the one where they fought over my cummies?
>>288651552More like Kodomo no SEXkan
>>288659540Biggest thing I remember about the anime was it making Reiji (more of) a complete psycho.
>>288648479We still haven't gotten the official English release of the manga that got Kickstarted fucking years ago. There was also the funny kneejerk cancellation of an earlier official release where Seven Seas licensed the manga got up to nearly printing the first volume then dropping everything when they saw the direction the then on-going manga was moving in.
>>288665123>Seven seasGood it got dropped, fuck Seven Seas.
>>288664287Kill yourself, tranny tourist.
>>288666391agreed, he should kill himself and his parents
>>288646281All I knew of KnJ back when it was relevant was that its ED was a fairly popular template for "what if [insert game here] was an anime" parody animations alongside Kadocha's OP.>>288650712The main issue I recall people taking was that its extreme violence and constant abuse of its main character came across as ridiculously mean spirited rather than funny. The only two characters who didn't treat Sakura like shit were Shizuki, the nice-girl childhood friend, and Sabato of all characters, who spends half her time actively trying to kill him.These days, the only people who care about Dokuro-chan are DFCI players because she's debatably the best assist character in the game and people emulating the PSP version of Zettai Hero Project. Otherwise, that shit had very little staying power.
>>288666609>KodochaI really need to proofread my damn replies
>>288665123>dropping everything when they saw the direction the then on-going manga was moving in.When I retrospectively look at this controversy, it seems this was an issue of Anti-Fiction activists and platforms' Anti-Fiction restrictions.Antis, including Anime News Network, argued for cancelation. Bookstores deplatformed it.Seven Seas' second letter to the public:https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/industry-comments/2007-05-31/nymphet-2>in response to the growing online debates about our upcoming release of NYMPHET, we posted an open letter on our site explaining my views on the title and my decision to hold the title until further notice. As I mentioned in that first letter, my intention was to discuss the title in more detail with various vendors>One of the major book chains had already refused to take the title, and another was unsure and wanted to evaluate it some more. In the meantime, on an almost hourly basis, I was getting notification that one vendor after another was canceling their orders on NYMPHET.>Anime News Network posted my first letter, triggering even further debate online. I was then contacted by various online publications to comment on the controversy. Later that day, I decided to cancel the title once and for all, after six days of research and reflection.Seven Seas' president continued by deeming the Antis correct. He became compliant to the Anti-Fiction.By the way, Anime News Network is run by Antis. Here was ANN's founder and CEO "Tempest"'s statement on Nymphet after Seven Sea's first letter:https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=429038#429038>While the whole loli issue doesn't push my buttons nearly as much as Zac's, I agree with him on this title.>Of course, that opens up a whole other can of worms about whether or not a company should self-censor in order to avoid potential problems. But in the face of it all, I think that there are times that a company should, and this might be one of them.1/2
>>288666609>>288656651I remember season2 being cancelled mid airing, I dont remember any other anime going through that
>>288666666It was probably your fault, Satan.
>>288666666>I remember season2 being cancelled mid airing,It was OVAs, anon. Those can just stop for any number of reason, typically funding issues though.
>>288666666I don't know if it got cancelled during production, but it certainly wasn't very good. I actually have this DVD of the whole thing I bought at a convention years ago. Good ol' piss yellow subtitles with the raunchier moments actually being shown instead of class rep monkey relax-o-vision like you'd find on youtube uploads at the time.Also, damn, that's a lot of sixes.
>>288646281Did Interspecies Reviewers get much attention? I could see a show like that pissing people off.>>288666666Nice get.
>>288666664 (me)As for Zac/Answerman, he would constantly seethe about loli. Truly, 2007 anime fans should've gatekept these Antis.Zac was one of the earliest journalist/community influencer to come out against "Nymphet".https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2007-05-18> Hey, Answerman!by Zac Bertschy, May 18th 2007The following is Zac's reponse (as the Answerman) to someone complaining about Nymphet:>You know, I remembered hearing about this title back when our lolicon wars were raging, but I never really looked it up; your synopsis there doesn't mention how old the Rin character is, so I had to look it up.>She's in 3rd grade. And apparently this manga is pretty popular with the loli crowd so I have to assume it's unsubtle about what the point of the whole thing is.>Barf.>While I can't possibly endorse this release - the whole concept makes my flesh crawl - so far, not even the hardcore gay porn you find in manga aisles has managed to cause any kind of a stir. This is - I think, anyway - the first lolicon title that's explicit enough to be released here with shrinkwrap, so the potential for danger is probably higher than it is with yaoi manga, but for right now I'm not sure I'd be panicked about this release.>Is it gross and wrong? Yes. Do I wish Seven Seas would just leave this particular Pandora's Box alone and maybe consider not releasing comic book kiddie porn? Of course. But they will anyway. Maybe we'll get lucky and nobody will buy it and they'll stop barking up the pedo tree, but for now, we just have to hold on and hope that this is silently put into only a few markets, disappears, and is then never heard about again.Isn't an "ANIME News Network" supposed to be pro-anime and pro-manga. It's insane that two prominent staff memebers (and that's just what I've found from briefly looking at this controversy) were Antis. These people want fiction expurgated and censored to comply with whatever real-life ethics and standards. They are enemies.
>>288666852 (me)The following is Zac's forum posts in the May 18th, 2007 "Hey, Answerman" article in which he seethed about Kodomo no Jikan/Nymphet.https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=426871#426871>Zac>ANN Executive Editor>My problem with this is twofold: I am sincerely offended by lolicon material, and I think the vocal minority of folks who want to scream from the rooftops about how much they love wanking over drawings of 8-year old girls is bad for anime fandom and a scary prospect.https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=426897#426897>Zac>ANN Executive Editor>Even if it was ONLY the drawings they were attracted to, the concept is still sickening - sexualizing children. It's exploitative. Really, the 'drawings of animals being tortured' analogy is apt here. The concept and the images are disturbing and gross.Finally, rather than just leave the thread and go about his life, he locked the thread when he was finished with it. This was an example of how Anti-Fiction moderators gatekeep us. It's either we gatekeep them, or they gatekeep us.https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/privmsg.php?mode=post&u=168429>Zac>ANN Executive Editor>Like 4 pages ago I said I was sick and tired of this already. Unless anyone has anything new or interesting to say, I'm locking this up and we're going to stay away from this issue for a long, long time.Then,https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=427180#427180>Zac>ANN Executive Editor>I wish there was a way to burn things on the internet.>We're done here.Thread locked.
>>288646629I just finshed the manga last week and it really is. Too bad the authors other stuff has no translation, id still read it even if its yaoi
Did you know there's a VN of this series called Naisho no Jikan where you can get Rin pregnant?
>>288651105Good post.
>>288666664Normalfags criticize Kodomo no jinkan but then they think they are very smart because they read Nabokov's Lolita.
>>288646281Where's the lolicon's list of non hentai, non yuri loli manga?
>>288663629Yes Lolita! Yes Touch!
>>288667585can you impregnate her daughter that you have with her?
>>288666802>anon has huge fingers and hands or he is trying to show off his pirate copy.Just so you know dokuro has a lot of dvd since they were specials released with lightnovel.
>>288667585That's just a doujin game, it would be like saying the porn movie konoe no jikan is official.
>>288646322The live action had more nudity than the manga
>>288669863YESCORRECTALL DOUJINS ARE OFFICIAL
>>288666805There was more of a negative reaction to the poster than to the anime itself. When it started airing I remember it being quite well received.
>>288669863is there a website with all the loli hentai live actions?
>>288647831The daily was posted to spite a specific anon, and I haven't seen that shitposter since.
suckling on buds....
>>288653688I feel faintly like I saw it long ago but didn't really.
>>288651919Redpill me on Chuu-bra! bros, what am I getting into?
>>288659554Wearing a golden bikini during Golden Week should be a tradition like wearing green on St Patrick's day.
>>288646281Mushoku Tensei?
>>288659554In my memory the other Kodomo no Jikan was more controversial, but I might have just not been in the places where it was.Anyway, I want to lick her tummy.>>288666852>>288667233Its interesting how they used to voice their disgust for both loli and gay stuff, and the same people now split into camps where they pretend to like one to fit in for complaining about the other.Almost makes you respect the ones who still admit to hating both, they at least have a principled stance even if it is a retarded one.
