Think of it as a ‘what if’, like if there’s a disclaimer saying that this is fiction, any related coincidences is imaginary or things like that. At least the author is not pushing this as something that may be true “cough*DanBrown*cough*, everyone knows it’s just fantasy. I do understand where you’re coming from, and if it’s aired in say the US instead of Japan there’s no way the censors will let it pass, but just relax and enjoy the show.

Yeah I understand that but the Vatican is not against that...in fact they have special divisions for that last I heard, where specialists work for them to determine things like supernatural events. If it would air in USA then yes censors would not allow it but do wonder about the BD dubs.....they might let it by. Yeah, I know...relax and enjoy fiction.....but expressing is another thing you know...

That was my point. The ecchi was more sexual than comedy.....that was a failure indeed.

Seriously? "Boo" when there's fanservice in anime? How often is there not?

That's not the point. It's how it is shown and integrated.

Have we not been watching the same Index series?

Yes but in the first season it shown more naturally or should I say that I did not mind it that much.

Aren't the whiners usually people who say the anime doesn't follow the novels well enough? So now it's bad when the anime sticks to the novels like white on rice? So were we reading the same novels at all?
|
It's the way it was shown even if it was from the novel....was it really well shown so the novel intended it or was it to sexually gratify?

a) Have you ever seen any other anime at all, and b) again, were we reading the same Index novels and watching the same Index series? Nothing new here in any way.

I have seen plenty of animes (now about at 115 series) that fan service was there for comedy and sexual gratification (provided it was well founded).

It might have been something like for me
but it still was annoying because it was more shown to sexually gratify.
