The Place for Purging Porn and Pedo-Pandering (AKA P5 flag evaluations)

YMMV on his Complete Monster status <_<

Let's look at the list a bit.

I'm still not sure what to think of Gore Screaming Show.

Eiyuu X Maou is still on the table.

Sticking out to me at the bottom of the list is Literature.Tales Of MU and FanFic.The Mating Frenzy which both have 2 votes both ways, so one vote either way will decide them.

He's still the most horribly smug-looking fictional character that I have ever seen.

His insides will taste of delicious cinnamon...

Whoa, Nelly! x_x

Oh, well, I guess that someone has to do it. Let's take a look at that thing.

I'm still campaigning for Under Grand Hotel to come back on the basis that it's basically Japanese Oz.

I'm cutting through Rance stuff like a knife through butter, and it feels GOOD!

~Cute and fluffy romance for all!~

On Tales of MU, Willbyr posted a defense for it here.

Under Grand Hotel also needs to be looked at a bit.

Okay, I will see where I can get Under Grand Hotel, then take a look at it together with Tales of MU after I wake up tomorrow morning. Stay tuned and wish me luck.

Has anyone replaced Martello yet?

The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.

No. Any news on a new P5 member yet? I'm guessing not.

Well, finding it difficult to get a replacement for him is to be expected. It took quite awhile to get one for Triple Elation, so I assume there's either a lack of volunteers or a lack of qualified ones.

I'll warn you right now: Tales Of MU has a lot of BDSM-themed sexual content, but if you judge it just by the first hundred or so chapters, you're going to get the wrong impression, as the first half or so of the first "year" is when that material's at it's greatest concentration. After that point, it starts tapering off and more of the actual plot starts coming in. I've been following it for about a year now and caretaking the page, so I'll do my best to answer any questions you (or anyone else) has about it.

As far as Martello's replacement, we've been discussing the issue, believe me.

That's reassuring, but do let us know once the last member has been selected. We need some time to prepare the Baptism of Fire Brain Bleach.

As for earlier decisions that need another look... *checks calendar* Eh, might still be a little too early, but you probably know what I'm going to highlight.

Re: Ultimate Girls:

Preliminary report:

• Demographic: Shonen Disclaimer
  English Wikipedia's veracity with regard to demographics has been disputed
  Other Manga in Same Magazine
  Toradora, Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro Chan, Ef A Fairy Tale Of The Two
• Anime, manga, LNs unlicensed in US

Eps. are half-length, thus looking at six instead of three.

Ep. 1:

Premise revolves around three girls about high school age (one of whom looks about 14-15, 16-17, and 13 (tops)) who gain the ability to transform into a giant version of themselves to fight off Kaiju-type monsters. Difficulty: They have limited amounts of power and as such can only sustain their form for a limited time before their clothes disintegrate and they return to normal. As for content, several breast, crotch, and ass shots that linger a little too long of the 15-year-old looking one.

Thanks, Kuro. Always on top of things, aren't you?

Ultimate Girls's manga adaptation ran in Monthly Dengeki Comic Gao!, which is indeed Shounen.

The anime apparently ran under a label that basically means the anime is aimed at ages 15+

I've prepared the "Baptism of Fire"...

I'm eager to see who will take Martello's place on the P5. I'm just hoping that whoever takes the position can bring the necessary blood and valour to the effort.

Apparently it's a stressful position with high turnover. Should I worry?

I'm still here...

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

I would volunteer, but I'm not sure that I have the constitution to handle these things.

I don't think we really have to worry.

As long as everyone keeps a positive attitude about this whole thing, it'll work out.

I know that it'd be up to him to accept, but Goodrich has been fabulous with this whole thing. I'd love to see him step up.

I would love to see Goodrich on the council, although I'm afraid that he would become horridly overpowered having both a vote, while being our primary reviewer.

Happens to be known as Walrus Jones in other circles.

True we need some one like Goodrich but not Goodrich,

or we could split him in two and have a panelist and a reviewer thats how it works right?

So, I downloaded the Daiteikoku cg set and looked at it.

First, this and this girl have a scene of explicit sex. For that matter, they are both unambiguously children, I believe, in this scene. So, yeah, bad. For all it worth, it is non-consensual sex and I don't believe it is with the protagonists. At very last, I don't think the game shows pedophilia in a positive light. I obviously do not know how to get that scene, so I can't tell if it is meant as a 'reward' or not. Still explicit sex, though, which is pushing way too much.

These two are the only girls I thought to be unambiguously children. The other young looking gals could easily be teenagers*

. Some may come way to close to the border, though. Personally, for them, I would judge their age by their behavior more than by their appearance,

Concluding, if it wasn't for these two girls, I think it would be worth to at last consider keeping it. But, in the end, I doubt it is the kind of stuff we want to be here.

Thanks, Largo. Hell, if the staff is in consensus that I would be a suitable replacement, I'm not opposed to the idea.

Re: Ultimate Girls Ep. 2:

13-year-old looking one transforms. Lots of ass shots, some crotch. Her disintegrating suit covers the bare minimum of her crotch to keep her decent (well, decent-ish). In a couple of shots, genitals may have been depicted in relief under her suit. Hard to tell given the design.

Ep. 4:

Apparently the show refers to the little one as Ultimate Girl Loli. (Hereafter UGL) Opens with UGL taking her top off for Measuring Day. When the monster of the week shows, UGL shows up to transform. In the nude. Nothing is shown, but... Also more rather obvious crotch shots and ass shots of her. To make things worse once she transforms, a bunch of dudes show up with cameras in tow. She proceeds to pose for them.

Ep. 8:

Not long after opening credits roll, 15 and UGL get a bath scene. UGL appears fully naked. The only thing stopping it from being outright softcore porn is the fact that UGL has the anatomy of a barbie doll. Same appears to be true of 15 and 17. And again with UGL showing up naked to transform. I'm ready to call things here.

Verdict: Cutlist

Pro:

• Shonen demographic
• No explicit depiction of breasts or genitals...

Con:

• ...Maybe. There is a seam around the crotch region of their outfits, so it's hard to tell
• Way too much fanservice of the little one

Honestly, with the sheer amount of nudity featuring a girl who looks no older than 13 (even despite the Barbie Doll Anatomy), not to mention the gratuitous crotch and ass shots of her, makes me lean towards calling this pedo-pandering.
