Air Gear is reported. Based on what I saw about 5 years ago, I won't show it to my grandmother, but I don't think this is porn. Should I take this seriously or should I zap it?

[up][up]I would say zap it but if someone with experience with the later books/chapters can give more insight go ahead.

[up]"Its a comic it must be for kids." Just saying some places put la blue girl in the kids section back in the 90s and library's don't keep up with trends that well if I recall.

Correction: I must be thinking of something else because I went to double check and I'm not getting any hits on the library catelogue for Air Gear.

Still, my library puts plenty of manga in the regular/adult books section. They don't classify everything as being for kids.

Right, a confirmation would be nice. But if there's no answer for a while, I think it should just be zapped.

Zapped on what grounds? It isn't porn, it is? I could have sworn we weren't cutting stuff just for being echhi shonen.

5p Can remove things from the list on the grounds that its not worth reviewing like if some troll flagged sesame street or something.

Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry if it isn't clear. Better than forcing other members to waste their time reviewing harmless stuff. *

By the way, Death Panda and Waita Uziga are not resolved; I think we got to the wrong conclusion back then.

I just gave Death Panda the third devilhead and put "cut" in the disposition. Well, specifically "Horrible bestiality gore-porn. Cut with extreme prejudice."

Awful gore porn at that. It's up there with "pedoshit" as horrible nasty stuff.

@Catalogue,

Calling Air Gear porn is ludicrous. It is just a heavily fanservice story, but that is about it. Not much explicit either. It verges on the line sometimes, but nothing worse than a nipple is ever shown. The fanservice is not even the main point. It is all about impossibly crazy/cool air battles in self-propelled inline skates.

It is not pedo pandering either, if you are wondering. Out of the top of my mind, there is only a single important child character. And she doesn't have any fanservise scenes.

No, there's one male character who counts as under-age as well, but likewise, there's no fanservice from him either. Fanservice in Air Gear is confined to adult characters and is limited to fanservice. There's no sex and only mild nudity. That's a pretty clear keep.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick

@Catalogue Re: Air Gear

  • Wikipedia lists it as shonen Disclaimer
  • ANN lists objectionable content as "Significant" (TV anime) and "Intense" (Manga)
  • Funimation lists rating as TV-MA

More than that, I can't say having not seen it, but the thread seems to suggest it being another shonen ecchi series.

@Heathh: You may be misreading Catalogue's statement - from what I can tell, the argument is actually "I know this is not porn, so we shouldn't even bother discussing it and keep".

Air Gear DOES contain Serious Sexual Assault of a male character at the very beginning, and implied rape of women (manga, not anime.) by a gang.

Try "stricken from the list" as opposed to zapped from the list.

I like 'stricken' as well. Since the action is to strike it from the list. Agreed with the concern that 'zap' seems too much like 'zap the page'.
