(L) Yosuga no Sora

Yeah, I figured they determined who was home by the shoes and all. I wish I could use that method;, sometimes I come home or wake up and have to search my house and backyard to see if someone is home.

(And yeah, the conversation is going around in circles a bit. Part of it is that people are watching the episodes "late", but the main thing is that some people don't catch up on the thread before they post. It'd be really great if people would use the down arrow icon next to the thread title ("Go to first new post") to see what had already been discussed. Perhaps some people don't know about that feature.)

Just like how people don't know about the subscription feature and all. But I have a [understandable] feeling it wouldn't make a difference once you get into semantics and technicalities. Let's hope it ends cause it's really bogging this topic down.

Oh, now that I think about it, I don't think this matter has been brought up in this thread yet. It appears we need new discussion topics, so here we go: The main reason I'm worried is that the BPO (Broadcasting Ethics & Program Improvement Organization) already has Yosuga no Sora in its line of sight. I didn't think much of it the first time I saw this news, but 2channers seemed to have taken it seriously (I see a thread about it reached the post limit (+1000)). Unfortunately, I'm not aware the details since my japanese skills are almost nonexistent.

Maybe you can shed some light on this matter for us~

I know about that feature, but at the same time I see nothing wrong in giving my personal opinion on the episodes that I just watched. Is there some sort of rule against talking about non-current episodes?

Now that's fitting... You could very well say that Haru "connects" to the girls in a certain fashion

No (and it's not like the comment was directed at you), but directly quoting and replying to old debates from multiple days/pages back only to re-ignite the same debate all over again gets tiresome. It becomes a flammable and cyclic topic and there is a rule against that. That's all.

I don't think this group is targeting this show in particular; that's just the insinuation of 2ch (they're using this show and OreImo as examples of shows that would/could be targeted). The group is suggesting that the sort of censorship used isn't good enough, and that works that contain explicit content should be more clearly classified as "adults-only". They appear to be using the usual sort of impassioned arguments about public morality, protecting the children, and so on. The suggestion of the OP on 2ch was that this group might push for a ban on the public broadcasting of these shows, but part of the argument is also that these late-night shows are getting distributed on the Internet as well, within the easy reach of children. (With Yosuga no Sora in particular, it's already airing on Satellite Pay TV (with a later broadcast on cable), so it's pretty restricted already, but who knows... OreImo is a bit more wide-spread.)

I wasn't meaning to sound like you were directing it at me. I was using your comment to ask a question about the rule. I was assuming that I was interpreting it wrong, and I was. That's why I brought it up.

lol, certain people never get tired of repeating the same inherently wrong and flawed arguments over and over again...

likelihood of a ban actually happening and succeeding?

[Kameruka]

An off-topic matter but I would love to see this show get its own sub-forum like Ore no Imouto. The characters are worth to discuss over.

Not for this show, anyway -- even if this group is pressuring for change, the broadcast contracts are already signed and this show is airing primarily on Pay TV satellite anyway. Perhaps some of these risqué shows will have their cable broadcasts curtailed in the future, but that's probably all that'll come of it, if anything.

At this point I think it's too late. I think most of the major discussion points have already been exhausted, and opening an sub-forum now would just recycle old debates. We did briefly consider it in the early days, but it wasn't thought that there was going to be enough variety of discussion, and considering how cyclic most of the discussions have been, I think that's largely held up.

Hopefully zero.

[Lilith]

Thanks for your answers, I understand the title more.

Nice pic, Shinji103. Of all "girls couples", I can't imagine Nao with Sora at all (given her hatred). Maybe Akira with Sora, they seem to be good friends in most routes.

[Divine witch]

8 episode was like >.<
I guess Haru likes that his sister looks at him while hes doing "The Thing" >_<

[Malkuth]

OK, I hope we are over the juvenile ... ah Nao is a rapist/slut, etc.

Now comes the make or break for the twincest in my book and having to compare to Koi Kaze (IMHO best incest story ever shown, despite medium) is a tough deal

Sora during the past arc has shown potential as well as Haruka to deliver some memorable scenes.

And don't get me wrong for defending Nao against Sora during the last arcs, but that's the point of having arc, showing the impact of different choices ... and Sora might be cute when angry, but not person in his right mind would have put up with that

On the other hand, she could have handled it less selfish and with more concern towards the person she supposedly cares about

EDIT: By the way, this show has the best story this season, probaly for the whole year, but animation and directing goes to Hyakka Ryouran; however much I like all the innovation YnS made, visually ARMS won ... for whatever this worths, considering their crappy story (in the anime version). And should I add (in a trolling mood) that I feel sorry for all the people who avoid both because of the risk content and stick to crap like OreImou and KamiNomi

[broken270]

Spoiler:

Cat fight? It looks like it right now. Sora and Nao continue to be in bad terms, and this anger heightened at the point Sora sees Nao having it on with Haru again, just like what she has seen in the past. Enraged, Sora kicks her out and commands her not to be around Haru again. Distance continues to increase as Nao tries desperately to be in good terms with Sora once again, just like in the past, yet Sora ignores every attempt she makes.

[Kanon]

I just listened to a track from one of the drama CD (not sure which one it is). My god, my heart entirely melted... I almost died of cuteness. If there is a scene like that in the anime, I'm sure everyone will warm up to Sora. I'm very impressed by Taguchi Hiroko.

[Seitsuki]

:D yeah in the game Sora has the smexiest seiyuu by far. Although am I the only one who actually thinks she looks better with her hair down rather than the whole twintails thing?

No, I agree that hair down is better.

[Kanon]

^I like both. I love the way hair is drawn in this anime. It looks pretty... sexy.

Yes, you're the only one
Twintails ftw!
