Yes, for
Nanoha, I was talking about
Tamers there, a show made for
kids, broadcasting nude silhouettes of its cast (10 year olds) unedited here in the USA, the
very thing you tried to finger as "offensive" in
Nanoha, that, compared to
Tamers, wasn't given even a
fraction of the same amount of screen time.

That's not the right usage of that phrase, what you should have said is "brings on the question".
Sorry, it's a peeve Reichu passed onto me.
Twin Drive Sigma Aquarion wrote:(and this addresses Xard's quote on SEED Destiny's time slot too) how do you people know these time slots?
I know when
Tamers was on because it's a kid's show, thus, it would typically be played at primetime.
With shows
not made for kids, it's a safe bet it was set in the midnight time slot, where virtually all anime is found now in Japan, a trend
Evangelion itself helped make happen after offending average Japanese sensibilities one too many times.

It's funny then that you'll hold the transformation sequences against a series, which typically last only a few seconds.

TDSA, I probably avoid watching these series for the
exact reasons you do, but I don't go around chiding others of how "gross" or "unmanly" it is, and you know why?
Because as everyone here has been trying to show you, if you take this stance, then damn near all of anime is put into
shades of gray.
Insisting that
your gray is somehow less dark than another shade is both tiresome and pointless, this isn't about
morality, this is about
taste, what you, personally, can stand before an alarm goes off in your head.
If it's about morality, then why the hell did you watch
Evangelion? It has sexual imagery up the wazoo, both far more in explicit detail and quanity than
Nanoha, and all for nothing more than the sake of "
F*ck, why not?"
Hell, in
Aquarion, every damn time they enter the robot, they're having
an orgasm,
that fact alone was having
Grumpy Jii-san rolling his eyes.
Oh, F*ck, there's those nude silhouettes again, better look away now!In short,
you don't get to play this card, because
you are already knee-deep in it, whether you recognize it or not. You're the frog, and you've long since passed 100° in this pot.
