Lotte no Omocha (feedback requested)

Yeah, the anime is a lot closer to the borderline than the manga, in my opinion. It's just on the wrong side of that line for me.

I have reviewed some of the manga. I found it too pedo-suggestive. Haven't seen any of the anime, but if one is based on the other ... Hard to see how it could be given an angel.

If you're asking about the difference between the two, the anime cuts down on sexual innuendo and risqué content pertaining to the underage characters, and does away with the "need to feed" aspect of the succubus after the initial episodes (such that the main character is effectively treated as just another Cute Monster Girl for the rest of the series, and the issue of feeding is dropped completely), but whether it does so sufficiently is up to debate.

It doesn't change the fact that the relationship is still pretty squicky when you think about it, although I maintain that it's ambiguous as to whether it's actually romantic in nature on the part of the male lead (but that's neither here nor there).

With @52 in mind, I'll begin looking at the manga tomorrow morning. Have some unrelated research to get done in the afternoon.

Looked over the first two volumes of manga, and it's falling on the wrong side of the fence for me. I won't go in to detail, since Meeble already more or less covered my thoughts.

Thusly, on the CVR Manga.Lotte No Omocha has now 2 devils and 1 angel.

While the anime has one apiece. Who's voted so far? goodrich, Meeble... somebody else voted for the manga as well; I'm suspecting Komodin, but I'm not sure.

Haven't voted on anime, only manga (second devilhead, FTR).

Well, the manga seems pretty doomed. I think it was indicated long ago that such a thing was only to be expected. The anime was reviewed in that nebulous time when we barely had any real P5 members, right?

Actually, that was during the early days when we were still sorting out our policy and didn't think about selectively keeping and cutting specific adaptations of works. And the time when people were rage-quitting left, right and centre.

So pretty much yes.

The original review was done when we had four members in P5, with FE subbing for Catalogue, and we still had the disproportionately biased Martello on board.

Oh, and as implied, some people reviewed the anime, while others checked the manga. Hence why both are currently in the list now.

We can't say that for sure until Discar (I assume) logs a vote. If he gives the manga an angel, we're at an impasse.

As an aside, that art style looks stupidly familiar. What else has Haga Yui done?

Ah. That would be why. Thanks.

He's done illustration for Baka And Test.

Which is not something that needs review fortunately.

Actually, I already angeled it. We're waiting on Komodin.

Though since the page is already cut, a tie won't so much be "at an impasse" as "not restored." Which, as mentioned above, was not unexpected.

No, you're thinking of Takehito Harada.

...That I was. *scratches head*

@Discar: Good point. As it stands, a tie for these will effectively be "no action".

Or an administrative tie-breaker vote. Which, in case of the manga and given @52, is likely a

At 4 episodes in. Looking better than the manga, but still walking a thin line.

Just an update, no formal verdict yet.

Is Komodin even aware that this is up for revote?

He is now. I just PM'd him.

I find the Manga close, like on the brink of bad, but it just isn't enough. Without anything actually explicit happening, I feel it is just pass-worthy, IMO.

Surprisingly, the Succubus thing doesn't do much, as Astarotte herself isn't really a pervert, and does nothing sexual at all.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry for my recent no-shows, guys. I've been very busy with college work lately; I just gotta keep up my good GPA, after all.

I'll go through both the manga and anime later today; with the P5 experience I've accrued up to this point, I might have a different opinion of it now.

Did you finish investigating? I was going to bring this up earlier, but since you weren't posting in CV I thought you might still be handling university work.
