The mid-series blahs?

Planned to mail stuff out early this season, but couldn't find paper, and then realized my envelopes were too small. And I had no boxes. I did take advantage of the Amazon Prime sale and got a paring knife for myself. :) We've been cutting fruit with steak knives.

 

Gundam 00 S2 11! Fell asleep after I found that Sergei was still alive, but woke up near the end when I realized the super-duper Gundam 00 'o-raiser' + trans-am system stripped the people of their clothes. The poor guys have been castrated. Y'know, the animators could have at least put a cloud of sparklies there to preserve their dignity or something.

Tales of the Abyss 12! um...something happened and there were new characters introduced. There may have been some smirking.

Junjou Romantica S2 10! ho-hum episode as Misaki mulls over the Usami family.

Hmmm do you think this a case of censoship taking a step backwards or forwards?

I'd say 'standing still'. Sailor moon was my first intro to flying naked characters, so I have gotten used to the nipple-less females and strategic clouds & feathers & shadows. I don't mind that they try to desexualize certain scenes while still trying to provoke.

The thing with the Setsuna scene was that they are usually more subtle in hiding 'boy parts', but the camera angle was like right there and there wasn't a dark shadow or anything. I'm not saying they should be anatomically correct (that would just put a whole different meaning to the scene), but they should at least put a darker shadow or hint at something rather than absolutely nothing. *poor guy*
