	Say what you will of the Snapewives, but at least they're picking on an adult. (Would the anime in question happen to be the infamous Kodomo No Jikan, which is in and of itself a rich source of Creepy as Fuck?) (Reply to this)(Thread)

And not only is this character an underage teenager, she's mentally younger. (She's technically 16, acts like she's 12 or 13 at times. Until her age was revealed, I wouldn't have pegged her as older than 14 at the most.)

The show is Fractale, which just finished airing.

And Snapewives are in a completely different class than this, the way it comes across to me. This is some guy complaining about the "NTR" of the girl being molested by her guardian, rather than the molestation itself. He even brought it up just a bit when the main male character (13 or 14 years old at most - comes across as 11 or 12 to me) was in an accidental pervert situation with her.

Being outraged at the molestation per se would require this guy to give a flying fickle fig about the character for her own sake; he plainly regards the situation as being all about him, as viewer and via the characters he projects himself into. That's also how he can regard it as NTR; he considers himself, as the fourth wall, a party to the situation and the heroine's rightful mate.

	I watched the first episode of Fractale, and put off watching the rest of it, so: is it worth watching at all? :/ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It's okay. It wasn't a chore to watch, and at least one episode held my attention all the way through (it's very rare that I can watch any one show for 20 minutes and not stop it multiple times to do something else for a while). But if the first episode didn't grab you, I don't think you'll find the rest of it a must-see. It's kind of all over the place with plot and mood, and the story with Phryne was a bit much. I guess I'd say that the visuals and music and all were nice, but the story as a whole needed tightening - and either less meandering, or get rid of some of the plot altogether and make it more slice of life.

I tried watching Yumekui Merry and Kimi ni Todoke 2 also this season, and I liked Fractale a lot better. But other series were even better than it - Hourou Musuko, Madoka Magica, Star Driver.

	I've heard good things about Star Driver, but it was coming from my mecha geek friend so I took it with a grain of salt :p Might as well, considering this season doesn't seem to have much that's interesting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Heh, I wasn't sure about Star Driver until about halfway through, but it's so cheesy and has such a magical-girl feeling amidst all the mecha that I couldn't help but love it by the end. (I mean, one of the main characters is a Galactic Pretty Boy, so. His magical girl transformation scene is super fabulous, as is his mecha (which wears high heels and has tail feathers))

It's also a lot pretty in places, like when time stops so the mecha can do their battles - it's called Zero Time and has this really gorgeous space background, with galaxies and nebulae and stuff.
