First they blamed their kids going bad because of video games and games such as Grand Theft Auto. Now they're looking at anime and manga as a scapegoat for all the problems. They just don't want to take the responsibility for their child's behavior so they blame on anything nearby. Anime and manga can teaches kids a lot of things, some random Japanese words, love, and friendship. It just depends on the anime/manga.

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->---Society will always look for a scapegoat for their problems whether it's manga, video games, or television. However that issue branches a little further than this thread here, <a href='http://www.animepaper.net/nenene/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=3371' target='_blank'>Topic on Video Game Violence</a>, and I'll get back on topic.___ Our highschool did consider and talked about introducing manga into our library. The anime/manga fans were estatic obviously. However I thought it'd be trouble if manga became more available at our school. Otakus and anime are already considered by a lot of other students to be outrageous, sometimes bordering spontaneous and unrefined. (just looking at this from others point of view, and you know it's true)___ However, what the masses believe or at least remember of anime is always the hentei or porn in it. Should manga become more available in the schools, people who don't appreciate it will target these elements and put them on the spot. Even some the most innocent mangas have at least one instance of such, and this will instantly be picked up. Obviously this would cause a lot of controversy at schools as the article already mentions and even the readers may be branded as "sexist" or perverts. Although it may not be fair to manga and japanese-comic lovers, we can't expect people with no interest in manga to understand it from our point of view. As some have said already, "They should pick up a book and read it first before they criticize." The fact they haven't and probably won't is proven here.___ As much as we may enjoy the possibility of our library having manga, there are many problems that would arise from it. And just to have it available so we don't have to buy it really does not seem right.---

so far from what ive read, its daily highjinks mixed in with magic. but not the whole group of them are slowly finding out that negima is a wizard... and at some points they try to marry him... o.0 thats kind of odd. and recently they are being persued by demon things or what ever that guy was... what ever >_<

its been a while since ive read it but it has its funny parts(in small)

Areka: yeah, HE IS perverted, he's a man, can't help it ^^. I think he sensed that if Love Hina's great success was because of all the female characters (which it is, look at all those LV images, keitaro is a side dish) he thought "well then, more of what's good", thus more girls en Negima (to the point of insanity, half of them look the same to me).

I really like Negi, he is so cute, and this manga reeks of pedophilia (30/40 girls in a high school class with a 10 year old teacher @_@) hehehe not that I complain, though.

and yea, ken akamatsu is a huge perv... otherwise i think in real life 14-16 year old girls dont go trying to marry 10 year old boys very often... or are ninjas, or are... well the cast

i used to enjoy reading fanfiction, but i just got tired of them, especially when i started watching more anime. though right now im only reading one story that is really good.

I guess my favorite character is Chrno too. It was a waste we couldnt see him in his adult form more often. I cant really understand why he couldnt be in his adult form without using his powers, just like aion did. I guess his childhood self was good when rossette was a child, but later she seemed older than him all the time.
Anyways i loved the serie, didnt want it to end. Anyone know if the manga is exactly the same as the anime of has anything different?

*SPOILER*


Yeah, the end was very nice, i mean it was what it had to be but very sad too.
I couldnt stop crying when i heard rossette saying to chrno in her last moment that she didnt want to die. The face of Chrno was of complete sadness.

Report of a girl in China dying after playing a game several days straight. Of course we all sympathise with people dying but , as in my other Violence thread, the xinhua site seems almost to be putting blame on the game makers. Quotes such as "she was approaching a particularly hard part of the game" and therefore was concentrating that much harder, and some game companies putting in anti-obsession stuff in their games! Surely the fault lies at the feet of the person playing the game? Whats your opinions on this alarmingly increaing trend?

sorry i don't know you but kewl pics ^^;;

I agree. :)

hehe same here :P

same, we just be ourselves, and have a blast, just hanging around. I only have a few freinds but that's all i want^^
