its called japan is notorious for it's pedo shit and they made them look young on purpose so it's still SORT OF pedo shit
actually it's called ephebophilia, not pedophilia.
also cultural differences
not to mention that they joke about them (or more specifically, konata) looking 12 in nearly every episode
the art style is like that for comedic effect, not fan service

Japan is notorious for pedophilia, not ephebophilia. If you can't agree with that, then you are so far in denial that there's no point in even arguing it
RE: From Japanese to English and back again - Vipershark - 01-17-2010
I never said it wasn't.
I'm simply saying that the art style was an artistic choice by the author intended for comedic effect (as the show regularly makes fun of the fact that konata and a couple of other characters look younger than they actually are) and not fanservice, although that's become an obvious side-effect.
Konata and her cousin aside, all of them look to be 14 at the very LEAST possible age.

if they are drawn to look like underage/teen girls on purpose, then i don't see whats the point of arguing.
RE: From Japanese to English and back again - Vipershark - 01-17-2010
konata (and her cousin) is the only one who is specifically drawn as short and flat, and there are jokes made about it all the time on the show
the rest of them aren't
as I said many times before, it's strictly for comical effect and any pedo stuff is unintended (aside from the jokes between her and her father but whatever)

yeah, I mean
we can't have our nonsensical engrish fun with all this anime talk in the way!
RE: From Japanese to English and back again - Maxpphire - 01-18-2010
Vipershark, Saying Kotana is 18 while she looks 8 is like Flonne from Disgaea being 1000+ years old but looking 14.
They are still Pedobait in most peoples eyes because of how young they looks
ages in cartoons =/= ages in real life
In cartoons most people find out the age of a character by their looks and how mature they act. Even if they say "Oh, she's 18" it means shit if she looks like an 8 year old and acts younger then her "age".
