    What so wrong about hating to see boobs constantly and think they're disgusting and distracting.

    Perhaps penises would be more your style

    So is the fanservice being discussed here just sexual fanservice? I wouldn't say fanservice is inherently bad, it depends on how it's being done.

    Anyhow, Seto No Hanayome OVA is chocked full of awesome. Can't wait for the next episode. Season 2 fund it.
    Some people just find sex gross. and that it has no place in Mecha and they can just put it in the lol popular mainstream fight anime and be done with it.

    Is there any actual feminist manga/anime?

    Yaoi doesn't count.

    A lot of Josei work has been trending more and more feminist. Kimi wa Pet and Hataraki-man both deal with the conflicting expectations of working professional women. Kimi was Pet has a drama, Hataraki-man has both a drama and anime (not very good). Erika Sakurazawa's entire work mostly features young professional women and the shitty heterosexual relationships they trap themselves with.

    Yuri work generally splits into school girl fluff and stuff that are more josei and "feminist", with seminal works like Maria-sama ga Miteru straddling the two. Yamaji Ebine is probably my favourite "mature yuri" author, and her work reflects a more bohemian free-love lifestyle. The best of school girl fluff is written by Takako Shimamura, who has a sensitivity to gender issues but presents it in an adorable slice-of-life manner, especially in Hourou Musuko (Gender Dysphoria) and Aoi Hana (well done school girl yuri). Anime works like Shoujo Kakumei Utena and Simoun aren't yuri per se, but do provide an interesting look at gender dynamics.

    Regardless Japan is still rather regressive in this area. I find popular female author Yu Watase's works to be terribly insulting and infantilizing. It's also the reason why I am automatically weary of any VN based anime. A lot of yuri work are also very anti-femist, or at least are shallow to the point of ridicule: I hold special disdain for Strawberry Panic and Kannazuki no Miko for being mind-numbingly stupid but especially popular. Yes I am kind of an elitist.

    1. Leonardo da Vinci was rumored to be asexual

    2. Shrimpy expresses no interest in sex

    3. Therefore, Shrimpy is as intelligent as Leonardo da Vinci

    THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS was better than the Nadesico TV series. because they cut out the fanservice for more awesome and I approve of that. the Black Selena is one of the best Nadesico designs, too.

    Yaoi doesn't count.

    Seirei no Moribito, which I think is called Moribito in the US, has no fanservice, and is a mature story about a female bodyguard. Her semi-partner is a herbalist, who copes well with her physically outclassing him in every way (their relationship isn't resolved in the anime, as an adaptation of part of a series of books).

    But that is a shining beacon of grown-up in a sea of crap.

    A lot of Ghibli stuff is fairly mature (family-oriented stuff, which to me is more mature than some shonen crap full of panty-shots). Gankutsuou and Mononoke are intelligent. There is plenty of manga which isn't about SF or fantasy at all - stuff like 'Darling wa Gaikokujin' or 'Sazae-san'.

    The one thing I would say is people should realise that this pedophilic undercurrent in Japanese male sexuality is something that many people are aware of and fighting against within Japan. One of the biggest mistakes people make is to take the shitty aspects of a country and assume everyone in the country is OK with it - like the British class system or US militarism.

    I had a great epiphany once I understood Japanese enough to enjoy stand-up comedy - loads of the Japanese comedians were complaining and laughing at the same things foreigners did! They didn't think pedophilia, overwork, sexism etc etc were all groovy and Japanese!

    Basically, Japanese comedians and many Japanese people go 'Oh Japan' plenty.

    I was sure there's some rule in Glossolalia about constantly staying near the line without crossing it is enough to get jailed/banned, but I can't find my reference.

    I don't subscribe to the distinction between "yuri" = sex and "shoujo ai" = no sex. It's largely a fan created distinction. "Yuri" to me are simply stories from a Japanese cultural perspective that focus in whole or in part on lesbian relationships. I'm hesitant to call any gay-oriented fiction a genre, and yuri can't be wholly contained to target demographic audience. It's very broad and can encompass something as utterly insipid as Strawberry Panic to a great work like Yamaji Ebine's Free Soul.

    It's not so much I'm suprised at the popularity of shallow shows, than I am disappointed by the ready acceptance to treat them as good shows. And the reason why I'm expecting more from yuri is that the concepts of sex, sexuality, and identity are rather intertwined. It's much easier to explore those themes in works in "deviant" relationships, but within anime it's more often relegated to "oh ho, lesbians". It's popular not because it focuses on the relationship in any meaningful way but because of the lesbian tease. Certain works like MakaMaka or Shoujo Sect really are nothing but lesbian sex, and I don't have a problem with that. In fact the angst-free stress-relieving sex romps in MakaMaka between the two leads results in probably one of the healthier relationships I've seen in manga.

    In the case of Kodomo no Jikan, whatever introspection the work actually has on pedophilia is loudly and painfully drowned out by Loli Hot For Teacher. If KnJ aspired to be anything more than creepy fanwank then it didn't do a very good job of it.

    Guys, don't be so hard on CS. I find his aversion to sex and insistence on the purity of mecha anime to be childish and immature, but Angel is right in that he's technically contributing to the discussion. Since I'm not interested in whatever mecha show CS is talking about, he's boring to me except when he gets you all to react. I don't think it's trolling since he seems to be earnest.

    I have to admit, though, I enjoyed Ketchum_Ash's complete and utter delusions so much more.

Parody.

    Fuck. My brain hurts every time I read your posts. This is the second time I'm making it a point to just ignore them.
    I just really like how Akito evolved from the poor fry-cook (truly the Spongebob Squarepants of Mecha pilots) into a TRUE HERO with the Black Selena, the final battle was the highliught of the movie that made it great, and that under the Selena's shell was Akito's old Aevestalis the whole time.
    Yeah, and all it took was for the two things that made him happy - his wife and his ability to cook - to be stolen from him.

    Talking to you can be like beating ones head against the wall, Shrimpy.
    WHICH IS WHAT MADE IT AWESOME.
    You need help.
    How so, it was awesome so see Akito become epic and awesome.
    I just can't let this go, you are wrong. Akito lost everything that made him a great man, he is a broken empty shell and completely fucked up. It doesn't matter that he's good at piloting his fucking robot, he is nothing anymore and they ruined the character to tell a Ruri fanservice movie. He was far far far far far far far superior in the series because he had soul. You are wrong, you are wrong you are wrong.

    And to top off my argueent about Fanservice and Mecha:

    THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS was better than the Nadesico TV series. because they cut out the fanservice for more awesome and I approve of that. the Black Selena is one of the best Nadesico designs, too.

    You're.... kidding. The entire movie pandered to Ruri fans. It was pure Ruri fanservice. It didn't have your typical signs of fanservice, but... The entire movie, and most of the promotional material related to it, whored her out so much it was unbelievable. It also completely did away with what made Nadesico so fun in the first place. Parody.

    no, they changed him to make him a TRUE HERO and give him an awesome robot upgrade as well, it really worked.
