...Still kinda think "Oh here we go again" attitude is not really all that conducive to a meaningful analysis.

The Merry Monarch of Darkness
Wasn't that the point of the South Park movie, too? And we're not cutting that, so "it exists to rankle the censors" is, on its own, not a valid reason for cutting.

Hi
Dit VB is right on the border. I've been following it for a while...there's a very solid story and good characterizations, and while (personally speaking) I don't think it is far enough across the line to warrant cutting, those certain elements that I think everyone knows about it are problematic if you take them at face value, especially with some of the still art from the anime.
IIRC, Barnes and Noble carries it un-sealed...I think it's rated for older teens, but I could be wrong, I'll check when I get home.

Dance In The Vampire Bund is available via Netflix streaming, which may make it easier for some to judge for themselves. (Plus, it's a minor counter-argument against any claim that it's porn, though I'm not sure that's the issue.)
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

@tdgoodrich 1: It is, though I've heard that it's one of his less interesting efforts from a visual standpoint, which considering the content is kind of funny.

Someone flagged Air Gear? Seriously?
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.
We've been through Air Gear before. Gah. That manga is neither porn nor paedopandering. Why do people keep flagging it?

I think we really need to force people to explain their reasons for flagging, like on the discussion page (until a reason box becomes available). And zap the flags if they don't.

Re: Vampire Bund Episode 1
Nothing approaching porn or pedopandering at first adbreak, but from the looks of things, the episode is not representative of the series. May have to throw it out.

By the way, it might be good to look at both the anime and manga since I've heard the anime is quite different.

Yo, Shima, should I just zap it off the list? I mean, I've read through it myself, and it certainly ain't worth flagging.

^^^The girl strips naked and has the guy rub anti-solar gel into her. Not especially pedopandering, but it's there. It's not representative in that this is the most fanservice outta her, IIRC.

Yeah, go ahead and zap it. The person who flagged it is upset that it's raunchy and doesn't have enough character development. Also, there are girls in bikinis.

You realize that I'm watching the anime and not reading the manga, yes?
Re: Vampire Bund
Watching ep. 2 to confirm whether or not this is indicative of series at large.
Side note: spent much of the ep. wondering where I had heard Mina's voice before. Apparently same person also voiced Victorique in Gosick.
Update: OP has Mina clad in a short skirt and ribbons covering her breasts. Bit questionable, but not the worst I have seen.

I forgot that the first episode is the gameshow. The lotion scene is later. I'm just saying that as I recall, this event isn't particularly indicative either - the rest is not filled with more of her.

Might as well flag "Baywatch" then, huh?

Yeah, that was about what I was getting from the objection. That and they don't like Air Gear. Just zap it. They've been warned about flagging works.

Ok, in other news, I finished Crimson Spell. It's an epic high fantasy manga with an in depth magical world, deep character development, and a grand story line involving a quest to cure a demonic curse. It also randomly has a couple of pages of graphic gay sex inserted every other chapter.
I can understand why it was flagged, but the characters are adults and the sex is not the focus of the story. The epic high fantasy quest is the focus of the story. The sex is sort of just tacked in there.

Re: Vampire Bund Ep. 2
Throwing out previous ep. Nothing worth reporting at first adbreak.
Update: Some nonsexual nudity of Mina (apparent age ~11), but still problematic. May just be the version I'm watching but anatomical detail is blurred out. To its credit, when Mina is suspended upside down, her skirt miraculously stays in place.
Episode 5:
Brief scene with Mina removing her clothes to change just before the adbreak. Lasts a couple of seconds. Nothing is shown.
Update: Nothing to report in back half of the episode.
Yeah, I flagged that one. I only went through two chapters by accident while intending to review Crimson Shell. If the sex scenes could be removed without affecting the plot, great. Keep it.

I have pondered it for quite a while, but in the end, I have decided to flag Showgirls. It may not be your typical porno flick, but Paul Verhoeven made it with the clear intention of titillating the audience. The film revolves around strippers, for Pete's sake! The whole sexplotation and 'reach for the top' plot does not hide that fact, either.
If I am being overzealous, feel free to zap the flag, but I think you guys should at least consider it.
Sorry, Kom, but the thing had escaped without being reviewed for way too long. It needs a look, I think.
