The forgiveness of lolis

I was struck by the following line from the article ‘Polanski asks US court to dismiss 1977 charge of sex with a minor’ in The Guardian: ‘[The then-loli] publicly forgave the director in 1997.’

It got me thinking: How many harem animes actually ended with the harem lead chose and slept with the loli haremette? (It’s almost as rare as siscon anime where the Really Blood-Related brother and sister actually get together.) In the case of a strictly defined loli, consent is irrelevant in deciding GUILTY or NOT GUILTY!? While the loli may be able to forgive, it’s really out of her hands once this becomes an issue for the justice system and The Rules of Society. I suppose that’s when Not Actually Under-Age But Only Loli-Looking haremettes come into the picture as a sort of substitute.

In any case, perhaps the FBI should have been more proactive in trying to get their hands on Polanski. But, then again, they might have reckoned that lolicons are already well apprised of the concept of bait. Even hackers have caught on to the trick!

Why I Want To Be Emperor

As Meister ~~Sara~~ Maya said to Kazu-kun: ‘When you are Emperor, you can have your own harem!’ It should have been obvious that Lelouch wasn’t planning on sticking around when he didn’t immediately conscript all the captured bishoujos into a harem led with C.C. wielding the whip as Chief Concubine. And he didn’t even have a nekomimi Otome’s objections to deal with either!

P.S. Seirei no Moribito was excellent.

This has got to my favourite ‘Character reveals his harem fantasy’ moment since SHUFFLE!’s Itsuki Midoriba’s declaration. At least the Shinrabanshou doesn’t have the activiation requirements of the Kuihuabaodian (葵花宝典 i.e. you have become a eunuch)!

Even if you are a girl, don’t mess with a woman armed with a mallet!

Miharu strikes again with his Blue Oyster Power. This has been the fourth time in as many episodes and could well prove to the skill that defeats the final boss!

Though his ninja disappearing trick didn’t work so well this time.

I liked how both GIRO man and Harem Otoko both gave the same order at the same time. I’m really intrigued to know what each of the five villages’ forbidden techniques do, what the other two villages are up to and why Banten is in such a bad state. If they’re going to wrap this up properly in a half cour, there’s no much time for filler or dwaddling!
