What I would say is that it is just a diferent culture. It not better or
worse. The main diferences in anime a animated pictures all over the world
is the age group. In most countries animated pictures are targeted to
children and teenagers (8 to 18) it is where they have found that with
minimun efort they reap optimun benefit. On the other hand in Japan manga,
anime or what you want to call it, is more popular. There are manga for
kids, teenagers, men, women, working men, working women. I have even read
manga writen specifically for pregnat women and one for brides to be. About
the culture and education we give our children it is a debate for another
list.
To ask for someone to put a lemon, hentai, hardcore, etc tag. I must stress
that it is a request. If you do not feel it is such a story then you r free
not to put it. Some people like to have such tags so that if they r sensible
to something to avoid it as much as posible. But remember it is your story
and all c&c are optional. Please do not let blunt C&C spoil the fun you and
other will find in such works.
This opinions r my own and most likely will be wrong.
Merry x-mas.

Hi there. Thanks 4 the input anyway.

Two quick suggestions. First, add the label [lemon] to the
subject line,
since many people who would normally read lemons do not read SMJ
fics, and
vice versa.
Sou ka?
Properly labeling your fic will probably help to get
more
people to read.
I serious doubt it.
Secondly, your line formatting often ran over the
page
borders, making the lines difficult to read. I gave up trying to
read the
fic after the second or third paragraph because it was taking too
much
effort.
Ever tried to turn on the word-wrapper of your software?
(If it has one, evidently.)
Speaking seriously now:
This is the 2nd time I have received complaints about the
(SUPPOSED) improper or bad formatting of the texts I have sent
to the ffml. Two years ago, I sent a UNIX-format plain text,
and then all the ones whose e-mail clients were not designed to
deal with UNIX or MAC texts flamed me because the 5th chapter
of my SM fic "was not properly formatted". And now that I have
returned to the ANSI-format, I receive the same type of complaint
from smn whose e-mail reader apparently does not know how to deal
with CR and LF at the same time. Oh well... I am supposing
that your e-mail reader can't deal properly with MAC and
ANSI texts because 1st) you are using a computer of the univer-
sity you study @, and 2nd) the info header of your message
does not indicate the name of your e-mail client.
Bottom line is, please do send your very fair complaints about
this particular subject
to the "geniuses" known as softwaremakers, not to me alright.
As for the Western censorship ratings, as a person whose
IQ is far greater than 180 I do have the obligation to
always state the following:
To hell with the infamous "parental guidance".
Aufwiedersehn?

Frequently-Asked Question:
"Why the heck manga and anime are so much better than most
cartoons and comics?"
Rarely-Given Answer:
"Evidently it's because the authors of manga and anime appear not to
regard
the Japanese kids as perfect imbeciles whose respective perfect
imbecilities
must last for eighteen years mimimum. In spite of the american
military base
in Okinawa, Nihon is not a fully-westernized Asian country yet,
therefore its
most intelligent citizens do not have to ask of the white house a
special
authorization to think on their own."
