YES! kudos for giving Chapel one of the coolest hats ever! Father hat! Didn't know it had anything to do with Japanese politics..
Azu is one of the few animes I can watch over and over.
There is a really good website i know where you can search through almost every anime ever and pick and choose to include certain things, like animes meant for girls without any mature stuff, etc. its called i use it to find animes all the time, its really good.
Sorry to post to an older comment but its relevant. ;) There are lots of really good animes out there, meant for people of all ages, you just gotta look.
I think you'd have to copy paste the link directly but that is a list of animes specficially aimed at girls, aged 12 and up. Alot of them deal with high school and romance, but watch out. Some of them ARE more mature than others, but i made sure to remove anything 18+ from the list :p
Doubt you'll read this but if you like Azumanga Daioh, you should check out Yotsuba by the same artist. I know you can find the manga ( there is no anime yet) online for free, just can't remember the link
Oh, I love Yotsuba! Unfortunately there will never be an anime, as Azuma-sensei has said himself he doesn't want an anime adaptation, which is a shame! I even read Yotsuba way back when it was still published by ADV manga, and I've been meaning to pick up the new Yen Press translations for a while.
Have you ever been to the Ghibli museum? I haven't but i want to! My favorite Miyazaki movies are Howl's moving castle and My neighbor totoro.
Has anyone seen his new movie The secret world of arietty?
Um, Emma, its a compliment. I meant that it looks more realistic now, in the older strips its cherry red. Now it looks even more hair-like. Although you're probably right and this is all just me.
I can sympathize with your Pop. I bought my daughter (14 at the time) a CD once, I had heard three of the songs off of it on the radio and thought it was safe. It turns out almost half of the songs on it had multiple uses of George Carlin's 'Seven Words' and her best friend's mother called me up and chewed me out.
When you refer to borderline-pronography, there's a single word that sum it up much better; erotic. (I think for anime, they used a japanese word called echhi? mean same thing as erotic.) Your father should have several flag words to look out for on anime; erotic, echhi, um I can't think of anything other keyword to look out for.
I should give you a word of warning, avoid all CLAMP titles until you're older and can handle more adult subjects. The core of CLAMP are great creators, but they are also perverts (to one degree or another) in my view. I should also warn you Miss Emma that Japan's view on sexual openness is very diffrent to ours here in the U.S.
Nah, stuff like Cardcaptor Sakura, Angelic Layer and Magic Knight Rayearth are fine. The only real warning I'd associate with any of those is that MKR's ending twist is sort of emotionally wrenching. (Also pretend the second season doesn't exist, it's just terrible.)
then there was X/1999, RG Veda, XXXHolic, Tokyo Babylon, Miyuki-chan in Wonderland and i could go on, but i'll stop here. I'm not saying they are Bad creators, i'm just saying they have a bit of a perv streak in them and they generally make more adult themed works.
Oh, and wishing away MKR second season won't make it go away. it's canon after all.
I love MKR, Sakura, Angelic Layer, Tsubasa, and even xxxHolic, so it's not ALL bad! Although I once made the mistake of wiki-ing Miyuki-chan in Wonderland...
Ah, I should've mentioned that in the author's commentary! It's a special kind of hat called the "dad cap" from a *different* anime called Azumanga Daioh. It's not by the same people as the anime Chapel's watching in the strip, but it's very good.
I will rewatch it later on then, I heard it actually gets quite deep by the end -- the beginning part was just a bit off-putting. And that's really fantastic to hear that you're from Russia! Thank you SO much for reading, it means a lot to me!
Yes, it does get quite a bit deeper, though it never really loses the... 'fan-service'y... angle. If it hadn't been for Sumomo, (the neighbor guy's little persocom, [I don't remember if she'd have appeared yet by the time you gave up on the show,]) I probably wouldn't have made it all the way through.
Chobits is basically about Relationships, & follows the maturing of Hideki's view of them. (This view is probably affected by my own personal focus on Relationships)
I was interested in Macintosh story but suddenly this link in comments was more interesting then everything else there :) (think there just was no anime in the macintosh stories.. :))
Oh wow! I'm actually constantly surprised by people who've come here from my dad's work! :) Well thanks for checking out my comic, and I hope you'll stick around!
I would also recommend Chobits as the overall story is great, you just have to get past the fan-service. If you are not familiar with it, checkout you can watch One Piece eps almost the same day they are aired in Japan depending on subscription, and it is legal.
Of course I know that, and I've read MANYYYYY of their other titles. This was just one I hadn't watched/read, and it surprised me by being very...different from their other works.
If you guys are in 4th grade and you want a GOOD anime to watch (unlike Chobits) check out Azumanga Daioh. I started watching it in 4th grade, and the hat Chapel's wearing in this strip is actually one from the show.
i will offer up a few more you may not have seen yet. "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha" is one. it's not a typical magic girl show, it has cringe worthy fights, but a good story and it's a long running show. "Bakuman" is one of my favs, nothing ojectional with this and it's an intresting show. If you are looking for something more super hero like anime i command you to watch "Tiger & Bunny"! that or the "Iron man" the anime if you want a more domestic feel to your anime. Lastly, for something you and your mother might like, try "Usagi Drop".
that is just the start of it. I have been an anime fan longer than twice your life span so far Miss Emma.
Unfortunatly Miss Emma a lotta good anime is too grown up for you. maybe in 2 or 3 years time you'll enjoy Chobits more... and you WILL enjoy it. It's one of CLAMP's better works.
If you haven' t already watch the really early Pokemon.... the pokemon your generation is being given is awful awful stuff. If you can find it try looking for the Live action Sailor Moon... it's hilarious, like Power Rangers but with girls and badly done soft toy puppets.
Another suggestion is Excel Saga....
No I'm messing with you. do not watch Excel Saga, it's terribly wrong on all levels (but funny as anything)
Actually I really wanna suggest Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 because it's really the kinda thing I think you' ll like
Live action Sailor Moon is hideous, but they're currently re-releasing the manga! I'm really excited, because I've loved the series for a good 15 years now.
Pokemon Anime is a monster of a long running show. you'll have much to watch from it, but my take on it is it's just to sell the game and it's not that deep. the Live action sailor moon is odd kick of a show, but i don't remember that it was ever professionally subbed or dubbed..... Excel Saga. no. Just NO. ><
Bubblegum Crisis? wooo Boy! now THAT is an anime classic! It's a bit on the violent side, but it was THE perfect example of the 80's belief of our future cyberpunk world. I still remember back when it was brand new too. That is a good one to watch if you can find it anywhere.
Ahh, sorry I didn't see this until now! My friend Jenny actually just recommended Lyrical Nanoha to me, so I totally need to watch it. Usagi Drop is the cutest thing ever! Bakuman and T&B I definitely need to watch.
Chapel, I rented you some anime DVDs to watch after your surgery!
I have the best parents EVER.
Thanks dad! This makes up for your fainting at the dentist.
Chobit. From the authors of Sakura. Im so going to love this!
Jeez, the heroine is a scantily clad robot. Whats this about her on switch?
Sam, what is this rated?
CLICK
Well, thats an inconvenient spot for an on switch.
Sam, did you read ANYTHING about this show before you rented it?
check out Emma T Capps new web comic SUNNY,
The League of Fonts
THE LEAGUE OF FONTS is where typefaces are born. Every time a font is created in the world, it manifests as a living, breathing, Font – human for all intents and purposes, but unable to age or die unless their typeface falls into disuse. They live together on the League of Fonts, which serves as a secret island hub, bustling corporation, and home. It’s a world full of its own internal intrigues like any office, and Times New Roman is its powerful CEO. He’s got a lot on his plate lately: planning the League’s famous Decennial party, struggling with modern technology, and hiding his embarrassing addiction to the Twilight movies. Times New Roman is confident he can keep everything under control…but what’s an old font to do when a young boy named Louis Pepping accidentally stumbles onto the secrets of the League?
Find out every Wednesday!

And don't google any of it :)

But at least your dad didn't get X (what with it's Saw-level violence and all).
//btw, I am from Russia and I've read all of your Chapel strips now, so you can call yourself famous around the globe now :)

Can't remember anything about maturing, though...
I was lucky to stumble upon a link to your strip ^_^

But I use my tumblr only for reading others' blogs and most (if not all) of my tweets are in Russian...(
Can I write as Emma? :)

They are not that fun but these are certainly what you'd call deep :)
