# Sorry to Fred Waste..
But I'll post a picture of a kitten in spats after lunch.

Does anyone know of a good place to get anime in central London? I'm trying to get a copy of Katsuhiro Otomo's 'Memories' DVD for my missus as a pressie..

Ta!

# That comes under the sub-bracket of manga porn I think
manga can also be nice and fluffy

# it's not all like that
sometimes it's vampire princesses saving the world from giant robots. and then there's stuff like Cowboy Bebop.

# "Memories"
Isn't your usual Anime - it's pretty girly I think. Have you tried Forbidden Planet?

Edit: Not much help, but interesting reading:

# Not hugely,
But she saw a clip of 'Magnetic rose' and wants to see the whole thing.

I'd order online but the bank took away all my credit cards and wont let me have any more.

Plus its not the ussual squid rape bullshit, its a really nice bit of animation and 2 good short films (3rd one is a bit arse)

# for those who believe the hype
the squid rape bullshit is about 5% of all manga/anime

most is very very good and intelligent. Alot is better than most hollywood films or TV shows.

# what a massive
sweeping generalisation.

so by the same thread all americans like guns, country music and stringing black people up by their necks..

have a look further into it I would. Racisim doesn't suite you.

p.s. they got their sense of propretry & sexual decency from Carry on films. Who's the pervy country now?

# true..
I'm just pissed off with my employers & venting my spleen on the board, ignore me..
the age of consent is 13 though, that's not right, at all

# weird
I didn't believe you so I looked it up -

Article 2 - Definitions

For the purpose of this Law, a 'child' means a person under the age of 18 years.

Age of majority

The Article 3 of the Japanese Civil Code states that the age of majority is twenty (20) years old.

Age of consent for sexual activity

The Article 177 of the Penal Code puts the age of consent for sexual actitvity at thirteen (13) years.

Age of consent for marriage

Articles 731 and 737 of the Civil Code provides that the age of consent for marriage is eighteen (18) years for men, and sixteen (16) for women.

But when a minor wants to get married, he or she needs the consent of his or her parents.

# Depends
They might like something like My Neighbour Totoro, but I can't imagine many women liking Urotsukidoji - Legend Of The Overfiend .

Actually, I can't imagine anyone liking that one very much.
