That Gundam manga looks like another bad flag, from what I can tell.
I reflagged Hitomi. In retrospect, while it's shitty and there's some rape stuff going on I don't think it's quite porn. There's a little too much story. This
was my original analysis. My personal opinion is that it's not bad enough to need a cut, but should probably stay locked and be cleaned if necessary.
If you have further questions feel free to ask me. I don't know what you need to know about it except that I don't think the porn to story ratio quite puts it into porn territory.

Arha: Is Hitomi the full title? I can't find it on VNDB.

The full title is Gimai - Hitomi or Hitomi - My Stepsister.

OK, thanks. That's...quite the laundry list of tags. Most of them are "Eh, whatever" with regards to the guidelines; what concerns me is the "nukige" tag (read: Porn Without Plot).

I don't think that's accurate. The plot might be kinda weak but the nukige I've seen are basically just one sex scene following another for the entire story.
Something strange...
I've become a bit wary of that sort of thing, after seeing Porn Without Plot on a story that contained no porn...

Do you have evidence to back that statement up?

Not handy. `.` I believe it was on Pages Pending For Perusal By P 5 where someone described The Mating Frenzy that way.

Page is cut. Got another?

Something strange...
Nope. (I could probably point to a couple other series I enjoy for the plot which seem to have been cut for being plotless, but in those cases it's only implied.)
I'm not really trying to say anything about a particular work here anyway. (I haven't even played this particular game... Not sure I'd even heard of it before actually.) Just that I think people sometimes throw that label around a bit too freely, and so I am wary of it.
"So... the time has come for you to meet your demise..."
VNDB is of dubious reliability. Is there a relatively high amount of sex? Sure. Is it just sex? No.
EDIT: too tired. Thought that Mating Frenzy was discussed as cut, and was like "no, it's right here."

Going to double post, and officially petition for the restoration of Lotte No Omocha.
Didn't we say earlier in this thread that we would need the full 5P body here for a review of Lotte?

I won't pretend to speak for the others, but I don't think it's necessary. AFAIK, when it last came up, we were still only operating with three members.
If you and Meeble both vote against it (assuming Discar and Komodin's opinions haven't changed) then you'll be deadlocked, though. And that seems pretty likely to me.
If it gets dead locked at least it would prompt action regarding our missing 5p member.
@Septimus: Pyrite (the one appealing it last) was the one who said he wanted to wait for a 5.
@Arha: Let's not prejudge tdgoodrich's reaction before he votes.
I am inclined to wait for a full team here, simply because if it deadlocks, we are just back to square one with no new information to make a definitive call here.

@Septimus Heap: Eh, we could always submit it to tdgoodrich.
The previous deadlock was a 2-1 in favor of keeping the anime. (The manga, IIRC, had "go directly to hell, do not pass go" stamped on it.)
@tdgoodrich 1: Sorry if I sound like I'm laying everything on you, it's just the possibility of finally laying this particular discussion to rest getting me all excited.

As I recall it, both the anime and manga were being voted on. I can't remember if it was the anime or the manga that was worse, I recall hearing reports both ways.
Manga was decidedly more crude, with the anime being overall cleaner, but Meeble had issues with it.
I haven't prejudged anything. If Meeble's vote is also going to stay the same, then there's a 50 percent chance of deadlock if you just ignore prior voting habits.
And yeah, the manga was pretty doomed. The anime was in much grayer territory.

Finished Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom. It can be called many things; porn is not one of them. There is some onscreen sex between adults though it can hardly be called titillating. The sex is played entirely to show how depraved the libertines are. Also, as I have stated before, its Criterion Collection release leads me to believe that it falls under the "Classics" exemption. It gets a provisional angelhead, on condition of leaving it locked due to the content.
