What otaku stuff is now acceptable in the West?

Obviously you won't be able to show off your lolicon doujinshi any time soon, but anime and video games have become more accepted in the past 10-20 years.

And if they're 12 or under why the hell are you talking to them, you creepy nerd?

What does Adult Swim even show?

It baffles me that modern anime (sorry) gets licensed. I heard that "Let's Go Play!" cartoon was licensed and released under some stupid name, but how would you even explain that to people? And are video stores really okay with stocking DVDs featuring cartoon teenagers in the nude?

I don't even understand this. Most anime like that should be illegal to sell, but it's only ever been a legal problem if you try to ship manga or hug pillows privately.

Also the names Americans give to anime still baffle me; "Cat Planet Cuties" in your example.

It most definitely will. It's hyped as fuck with a large, simplistic fan base. Even non-anime watchers have been known to enjoy it. 95% chance Funimation licenses and dubs it within the next 6 months.

I can't believe anyone buys any ero anime, even in Japan, except ironically or to upload it.

The animators and writers usually put like zero effort into it. It'd be better sometimes if they just put up the manga panels in order and set to music. I don't understand. Their real ero has some effort put in to it sometimes, their softcore anime that air on tv have effort in them, their stupid otakushit OVAs that are usually between soft and hard and probably for lolicon have effort put into them, even the eromanga and erogames they base them off of probably have effort put into them, even anime that just have ero in it but aren't about the ero.

But when it's a full ero anime, it's usually got shit budget, shit production, shit everything. I mean I don't expect them to not use looped animation but I don't understand why they can't be at least acceptably animated loops.

Lolicon? Well, Crackle has a suprisingly large 'Anime' section which is one of their main categories. I was really surprised to find this ep of Nise, the bath one where 8 year old Shinobu is naked for half the episode. Granted Crunchyroll has the same thing, Crackle is way more western, mainstream, and popular. It's also in pretty much every smartTV, bluray, and game console. They have their own short synopsis for each show which proves that Crackle's staff are actually knowledgeable about these things.

There were other questionable, ecchi series like Negima, Queens Blade and OreImo which they all had to apply for US TV-ratings. Nise got TV-14 while Negima got TV-MA.

Crackle had a pretty decent library which surprisingly had way more obscure, low-key shows than mainstream shounens. Too bad their quality and service is shit.

Netflix has Dance in the Vampire Bund. I read that at first Funimation tried to censor some of the naked bits and then changed their mind when lolicons started coming out of the woodwork in droves to complain.

I guess that would suggest that there's a substantial number of vocal lolicons in the West.

Pretty sure it's established that her body is that of a 10-year-old, or something.

Laws about this usually include phrases like "appears to be" so you can't play the "she's actually a 500-year-old alien!" card. Those crafty pedophobes.

People always say this with English releases, but do they actually believe it? They have to realize that it is indeed there, at least in part, to make you hard, right?

They just say that to cover their own asses. "We aren't actually releasing something problematic, it's just that some people might misunderstand so we're censoring parts of it."

Let's be realistic here. She is portrayed as having a child's body for a very specific reason--to titillate. Now I think it's stupid to worry about fictional representations, but this does invite problems with American law concerning CP.

What's funny is you can get full-frontal nudity of other anime characters without problem even though they're canonically underage. I guess it illustrates the absurdity of the entire issue.
