Yeah, I'm having trouble with Kanamemo too. Gonna be a little while on that one.

Whoops, I forgot to vote on Phobos and Electric Retard. Thought I had. That's the third for both of them.

Just wanted to announce that I cut the pothole to the hentai manga Libido in the Beaker that was on Psychotic Love Triangle and added the "pic's fine, work isn't, don't pothole the pic" tag to the page.

Did we evaluate Libido in the Beaker? Does/Did it even have a page here?

I looked it up before doing the cut, it's very much a hentai.

Is anyone here familiar with Princess Lover!? While I'm searching for stuff pertaining to Kanamemo, I just happen to run into this work and, going by what I'm seeing on GIS, I'm rather suspicious of it at the moment.

From the trope page itself...

Based on a successful PC Eroge Visual Novel released in 2008 by RICOTTA, Princess Lover! got a 12-Episode Anime adaptation in the summer of 2009, with its own series of Light Novels, manga adaptations and a "clean" Updated Rerelease for the Play Station 2. An H-OVA, released in September 2010, re-tells the story, with the intent of averting the Bleached Underpants of the TV anime.

...And note, I haven't seen the actual series, I'm just informing of the other mediums it's been in besides, well.

Clean releases exist on the PS2. That indicates there's more to the story than porn. Checking the female cast for people who look underaged. Okay, the character space on that page shows they don't look like kids.

Seems fine to me. Don't even need to make it bleached underpants.

[up]From a skim of the page, I'm guessing paedo-pandering.

[up][up]Going by previous posts in this thread, apparently there's an adult character who tries to come on to an underage girl. Not having seen the show, that's all I can say.

Concerning Kanamemo: Are you all reviewing the anime? If so...

I've skimmed through the first scanlated volume of the manga and I don't see anything specifically objectionable. There's one older character in the cast with a penchant of hitting on girls aged "7 - 15" (by her own admission), and it's played for laughs and not depicted as a good thing (the rest of the cast obviously finds it creepy / annoying). And there hasn't been any sexualisation of underaged characters, or any of the characters, so far. I'll see if I can go through the rest when I have the time tomorrow or over the weekend.

Of course, the anime might be different, but my preliminary assessment of the manga is that it probably shouldn't violate our content policy, based on first impressions. (Subject to revision if additional evidence is found.)

EDIT: Ran through remainder of scanlated chapters. Nothing specifically objectionable aside from a "Romantic" Two-Girl Friendship between two primary-schoolers and the abovementioned lolicon. No sexualisation of minors. Impression: within guidelines.

Looking over the first 7.5 min. of the anime, that looks about right, but I'm not about to call things on content on less than half an episode.

As for the animation, someone needs to put a boot in the ass of whoever is responsible for QC.

[up][up]Yeah, I guess that really depends on exactly how they play it. Family Guy has a creepy pedophile character played for laughs, but of course that isn't the type of thing we are looking to cut.

First two episodes I checked out don't seem cutworthy, will get back to this later as my tolerance for stupid is running rather low at the moment. Worst it got so far was a heavily-censored bath scene.

Watched enough of Kanamemo to give it an angel. Keep and clean if necessary.

The anime of Princess Lover! is clean, and nothing pedo I can remember, though it was a long time since I saw it. No idea about the VN. The anime wasn't good enough for me to pick it up.

There's no pedo-pandering in the VN, but I can't make it work on my computer (what is it with my computer and visual novels?), so I'm just going by the CG's, which can be hard to tell the porn to story ratio. Has anyone actually played this?

Have you switched your locale to Japanese?

As for the VN, it has a PS 2 port, so I suppose there's enough story?

Yeah, I figured if it has a clean port it must have enough plot to sustain it.

Fair enough, but it's not actually on the queue. Even if it doesn't meet our standards, the trope page for Princess Lover says there is a clean adaptation.

Based soley on the trope page which I found off Monster.Literature, Living Dead Girl might be worthy of review. It appears the sex/rape is only implied. I don't know anything more about it or how the paedophilia et al is handled, though, so I don't want to flag it.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

There is no rape mentioned anywhere. Can't search much more legally while on university wireless, though.

From everything I see, it's a mainstream published novel (and YA, according to its page) and the child rapist is the villain. If it does contain descriptions of child rape, I think it's safe to say that it's not intended to titillate.
