kso I lied. \u00a0I’m still sick, but I’m sick+bored. @__@<\/p>\n

So I’ve been watching Strike Witches<\/em> lately, and despite the blatant throngs of fanservice directed at every fetish imaginable (mecha, sailor fuku, nekomimi, pantsu, loli, school swimsuit, meganekko-ish, etc), I’ve liked it.<\/p>\n

But still, I thought that Yoshika was ~10. \u00a0In retrospect,\u00a0I should’ve known better, having watched Lucky Star<\/em> and all…<\/p>\n

Episode 6 is Yoshika’s birthday, and it was a huge surprise to me that she’s actually… fifteen!?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Who-the-hell-cares-what-her-name-is Loli, Kurokami<\/em>, Age 10-<\/strong>\u00a0aka “who cares anyway, I’m just putting her here for the GIF”<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nYoshika Miyafuji, Strike Witches<\/em>, Age 15<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nShana, Shakugan no Shana II<\/em>, Age<\/strong> unspecified, believed to be 15\/16<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nKonata Izumi, Lucky Star<\/em>, Age 18<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nMio Sakamoto, Strike Witches<\/em>, Age 20<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFuuko Ibuki, CLANNAD ~After Story~<\/em>, Age 24<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next up, 40-year-old lolis!
\nSeriously, is there some place to draw the age line?<\/p>\n

17 was barely scraping by for Fuuko in CLANNAD<\/em> S1, and 24 (same exact appearance, mind you) is just… wha-<\/p>\n

Now I’m sure that there are lolis in anime who are far older than Fuuko (though it’s quite a scary thought), but I don’t think there should be any.
\nAt the very least, can’t Fuuko age<\/a>?<\/p>\n

For me, the loli approach really loses some of its appeal when the loli in question is too old (though if the anime makes fun of the loli-ness of the loli<\/a>, it’s fine) and gets slightly creepy. \u00a0A 24-year-old who hasn’t changed in appearance for 7 years and who looks like a 12-year-old is just weird!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
