You are an idiot. I'm a regular poster on those forums, and though I personally am not religious I think it's interesting to hear other people's opinions and perspectives of different anime series. (I've changed quite a bit since I made that thread asking whether Hyde is a "Jesus rocker".) They review anime and manga there, too. Some of the reviews are personally biased and extremely unfair, but most really hit the nail on the head. The only major problem with the site is that they care more about objective content than the actual story. |

Yeah, I noticed in the Haruhi thread you linked to earlier, they spent most of the thread discussing the frequency and severity of "fanservice" in the series, and when they weren't discussing that the thread was pretty much idle chit-chat. I found that rather interesting (or amusing, or both), as we've barely touched on that topic here. |

You can make very suggestive animated gifs using scenes from the anime.

Which is why I said what I did. They were complaining about the minor details and not getting into the major ones. I honestly couldn't keep reading past the top half of the second page because of that. It's one thing to speak badly about the main parts of the show, but to speak badly of it for a minor part that you should be old enough to not be offended by is somewhat immature. Not to speak badly of religions or anything, but that's one of the reasons why I stray away from churches around where I live, they're all into observing what's wrong with everything and everyone else to notice what their wrong with what they are doing (I'm serious, they complain about sexual activites in public schools while their daughters in their catholic schools are doing FAR worse). Sorry if I offended you by making that comment earlier, but it most likely doesn't apply to you since you're not complaining about it, it applies to those that see one bad thing and judge an entire series on it (shows that they really have their minds in the gutter IMO). |

Hey, I just graduated from a private Catholic elementary/middle school, and I can tell you for fact there was only one openly lesbian girl in the entire school. 
And (for the most part) it’s not the Catholics that get super-prissy over silly things; it’s the Fundamentalists. |

Well, that's where there's a slight difference in our locations. I live on what's known as the Bible belt. There's literally a church on every other corner here, and around here you're either a strong follower or you don't really care. It's the kind of closed-minded super religious people we get around where I live that causes a lot of their children to be rebellious and do things they normally wouldn't. Around here church groups control everything, so there's never anything good going on in our town (Lake Charles if anyone wants to know, it's a somewhat major industrial and port area in Louisiana) so a lot of people go to Houston or Beaumont, or one of the many bars we have in town. To add to all of this confusion with about 4 different versions of christianity within a 5 mile radius, the city is also segregated. Almost all of the black population live in an area known as Gosport, which is a very poor run-down part of town that no one would like to even go near, while most of the white people all live in the higher class part of town. So basically what we get are super religious racist people that are very closed minded and prefer Gun and Knife shows to concerts that aren't Cajun. I think that pretty much sums up why I'm not fond of many religious groups and why I think they need to be more open to the main plot lines instead of minor details :O

I peeped the rest of the forum at the CAA for fun, as well. There's a sticky thread in their anime forum with a list of titles that are prohibited from discussing there, with Evangelion, Fake, and Gravitation being among them. Apparently, if you pretend the evil anime isn't really there, it'll just go away. Anyhow, I ruminated on the statements on that other thread that Haruhi was too "fanservicey". There's a few scenes involving Mikuru, Haruhi, and some certain costumes, but those scenes were a relatively tame parody of fanservice itself. To dismiss it as fanservice would be to miss the point entirely. |

well to be honest it was an awkward question. I liked the comparison to asking how a car drives from a Christian perspetive xD |

sarcasm aside I really can't think of a good reason other than it's over 10 years old. |

I can understand Bible Black as its porn, but I think the rest at least deserve discussion, particularly EVa. And why on earth would Utena be banned? |
