So what about it? o-o I know that Boys Love=Shounen-ai and that in Japan the first is more commonly used. But on ocidental sites, like Baka Manga Updates or Mangafox, the category for this gender is always shounen-ai, that's why I said it :]
Well, all those website are in English, right? In Japanese forums, the word Shounen Ai 少年愛 is not used any more to indicate male homosexual relationship. The word is now used instead for male pedophilia. Same for Shoujo-Ai, it now means female pedophilia in Japan. For female homosexual relationship, Yuri or less commonly GL (Girls Love) is used instead in anime/manga/LN circles. In fact I have a feeling that the English language anime websites are falling behind the evolution of Japanese anime/manga/LN/game jargon/slang.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

They mean pedophilia now? I'm still using lolicon and shotacon for that hahahahah Omg, must be careful then xD
Well, I can't read more than 2 or 3 kanji and some hiragana, nothing enough to form a word so I won't be going to Japanese forums anytime early (since Google Translate sucks). However, I am aware of yaoi and yuri (even though I associate it only to stories that contains explicit sex scenes and BL/Shounen-ai to the "light" ones)

You're not the first person to say it about English anime/manga related websites... I guess it is the same thing with the term otaku, for example? Around here it refers only to people who like anime/manga/games/cosplay/etc but in Japan it doesn't have such lovely meaning, or so restricted either...

Lolicon and Shotacon are fine for discussion in anime/manga/LN circles. But Shounen-Ai and Shoujo-Ai are now a kind of euphemism in more serious discussion of the pedophilia condition. The terms are not much used in anime/manga/LN circles now.

Yes, Otaku is just a general term that was derogatory in the past, and although it is not as bad now it still can carry negative connotation (depend on the person and the context). Also, otaku is not used to denote just areas of anime/manga/games/cosplay but other less related areas like military otaku, railroad otaku, ruin otaku, figurine otaku, idol otaku etc etc

I'm just curious. Am I the only person here who likes the antagonist of this series like 10 times better than the protagonist?

I mean comparing Erec last episode to Kon in every other episode makes you wonder who is the bad guy here. Kon is a lazy perverted loser, while Erec is an honorable beloved soldier.

Ha! All the adolescent sexual confusion in this thread pleases me! Ahahahahahahahaha!

This show is balls to the walls funny as hell. Nothing is quite as nuts as it is this season! Poor old Kon is just wound up and told any old bollocks by Hime and Sainglain, and believes what they say about the duel-wielder Mariandale.

Ha!

Little bit confused. So they DID end up doing it? If so yay for them.

Anyway, nice spin on a beach episode. Actually, it was a spin on a spin of a beach episode, since it was all a pretense.

oh Kon, you think it's funny when you say "you pervert" to Sainglain, man-to-man. But when Marian says "you pervert", man-to-man, you try to not let her have fun with it? Come on Kon, cut her some slack XD

I thought this episode was just ok. The beach and all the Marian scenes were very funny (and I usually hate anime beach episodes). But unfortunately Marian's fake back story dragged on a bit too long for me.

I am also disappointed we aren't getting the ED hot spring episode next week. I was hoping they would switch back and forth between DT and ED every week, but that doesn't seem to be the case.


The backstory dragging on kind of reminds me of Gintama. They did that kind of thing a few times. Though here I thought it was pretty well done. I was enjoying the narrative of the story even before getting gloriously trolled, so win-win.

And I agree switching back and forth between the two would be a cool way to structure the series.

God! I don't even mind the trans thing (or shemale C.C ) anymore! this is just so funny!


Lmao, I pretend that Marian is Lelouch reborn as C.C. in another world. xD


This works too well. XD I'm really liking Marian so far, and since I liked Lelouch (and to a much lesser extent, C.C), it even works in that respect. Hurrah, all hail King Fukuyama!

The text at the sides of the screen after the end of the episode said that DT still gets to keep his DT though. ;-)

Maybe he didn't do her, but she did him? Lolol.

Awesome episode, this show's stupidity never stops to amaze me. FukuJun is doing such an awesome job. Especially when Kon told the admirers that Marian had balls xD How his voice goes from ultra male to female-ish xD"


Totally Right no one could voice Marian More than Jun love the Voice JUmps :)

+1 Who'd knew that FukuJun could voice character like this, man he's talented :p

That Marian's fake past, damn they had me depressed ~.~

I am currently watching this and loved this episode. Funniest one so far. I think they purposely kept it ambiguous whether anything happened between Kon and Marian. I personally think it was nothing much though, I mean Kon wasn't shown to be drunk enough to have sex and then forget about it later.

Watching this in 2018 and I'm shook that they took such a PC route with Marian's character. We're trolled because we all want to know "why" she's trans, and we're convinced, like Kon, that there's a reason. And alas, trans people are trans because that's what they chose to do. There's no definite reason, and it's so cool that the princess and Sainglain and even random strangers dont mind it.
