OLDER CHILDREN?
Ok... SO it was just the first volume. The first volume wasn't that bad... And the third episode did have me laughing my head off, but that's not a good thing to rate something that becomes something definately NOT child friendly later in the series... [spoiler=age warning]Full frontal male nudity, incest that tripled as a Shouta complex and, if it were completed, statuatory rape (never carried out all the way, but really approaching it), not to mention more jiggling than a Jello factory...[/spoiler] Oh, and a few other nasty things... This show was really dirty (though, to get your bearings, if excel 26 was a 100 on the nasty scale, and Totoro was a 0, abenobashi was probably a 72 or something... And, Sakura Diaries (uncut) probably rated a solid 60... It's [button="age warning"]incest vs worse incest... Sakura was just cousins, but Abenobashi was a little more sordid than that, even if they never took it all the way[/button])... And they rated it "Older Children" If I were a parent listening to them and I got to some of the later episodes because my kids got into the show, and they gave volume one an "Older Children" rating, if I didn't know that much about anime, I'd probably ban them from it for life... At the very least, even knowing about anime but if I didn't know about that show, I'd never visit ANN again... older children... man...
