Shelf Life - Fists of Fury

For the record, the sisters are 13 and 14. So the next time you're watching Izumi's breasts bobble around and you reach for a tissue, think about your kid sister.

I think that's the best thing to tell guys who watch the perverted fanservice shows. If they actually have a little sister it's even better!

it bothers me that it automatically assumed that people who like this sort of thing are pedophiles in training.

Okay, I wasn't going to comment on the HIMM thing but I know I won't be able to rest until I do. First, I want to make clear that I have absolutely no interest in this show or any show like it. However, it bothers me that it automatically assumed that people who like this sort of thing are pedophiles in training.

Bamboo has every right to hate this show but it's not nice to insult people who do like it. Why assume that people that like erotic fiction (especially the more questionable type) are going to go out and do it? But people who like extreme violence get a pass? No one says, "Watch out for that guy! He likes Fist of the North Star; he might punch your face in till it explodes!" Yes, it's true some pedos might watch stuff like HIMM but they also watch REAL child porn because cartoon kids just don't look realistic enough and they don't always act like real children. So next time you see an 14 year old loli, think about the fact that she's an animated drawing with no actual, biological age and no one's kid sister looks like that!

Yeah, I was bugged by that cheap shot too, but when it's a Bamboo review you have to expect a certain amount of kneejerk PC crap. You could take that reductive approach to a lot of anime if you wanted to. Ewww, a high school girl molests a younger boy in FLCL...think about your younger brother next time you watch that pedo filth! OT/inflammatory comment removed.

That aside, He is My Master is a series that I could never bring myself to pick up in printed or animated form, based on title alone. Bamboo's review confirms my expectations of it.

Really? As soon as I saw it on the list I was just wondering how much she'd savage it.

And I found it interesting the shelves featured this week have four animes almost in a row that I own (and love) and no one else ever seems to talk about (Master Keaton, The Ping Pong Club, To Heart, and Yawara). Nice tastes! (Also random Human Crossing DVD's in Moribito Box. Cool. I thought that show was pretty good too.)

And you are such the bastion of intelligence and wit yourself right? As for her review Bamboo didn't insult the fans of the show so you both should learn to read more closely. She clearly said, "this show is beloved by hordes of anime fans, all of whom will defend this series to its grave, and will also pile into our forums to tell me that I kick puppies." So far you 2 have proven her exactly right. Even with that she doesn't insult fans of the show, just predicts the responses she will get and as it turns out she was spot on. You 2 should take a chill pill and go hug a loli bed pillow to feel better.

I guess you missed the editorial's 'jokes' that basically paint any male over the age of 18 that dares enjoy the show's fanservice as a misogynistic creep? Yes, I think Izumi is cute and that she has nice... tracts of land, but that doesn't mean I'm some horrible child molester.
