Q: Is that how Asians say?

In this modern animation society, there has been a small dispute between fans. The question in question is to watch censored or uncensored version of a particular anime. There is a huge gap between the carefree-nature of viewers like myself and those who believe in the responsibility of upholding the innocence of Japanese anime. Weighing these two options, any normal otaku would ask themselves, “would it have mattered either way?”

Say if you’ve watched sufficient Hollywood violence, you’d probably grow desensitized as effect of prolonged exposure. In my option, the same can be said with anime and its fan service. Its world has been invaded with plenty of screen time featuring flashy boobs and panty-shots. We know for a fact that the animation industry in Japan struggles one series after another. They’d probably managed a slight victory if their anime series made it to word-of-mouth status. That too is a challenge, and there is hardly any ways to cut corners. Hence, you try to sell your characters hard. You make them careless, curious, and shallow. By you, I really mean those involved in genre seeking to entertain rather than educate.

Such is the reality of post-puberty. This damn ulcer is killing me. Ugh, I’ll continue this after I salt this bugger.

Bad feeling,
