From Japanese to English and back again

it's called art interpretation

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

Ephebophilia has literally nothing to do with Lucky Star. All of the main characters look under 14-19, the "ephebo" age group. That is unrelated.

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

[Vipershark]

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.

the only difference between the normal and the "after dark" version is that instead of being half naked i'm full naked

case law, i do not mind your brain konata

she's been legal for forever
not to mention that there is an episode specifically about her 18th birthday

delete every post in this thread starting with this one please

if they are drawn to look like underage/teen girls on purpose, then i don't see whats the point of arguing.

[Vipershark]

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)

we can't have our nonsensical engrish fun with all this anime talk in the way!

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".
