Probably but like you I simply came up with a somewhat likely hypothesis with the limited information I had.2017 was a great year for anime. I don't particularly agree with youe theory, mainly due to the lack of evidence to support it, however I respect your right to have it so power to you. I understand you just used it as an example however from my knowledge there is no other case where in which a character that was aged up, was aged up in both the original release and localization. That line was exclusive to the american localization (presumably to make it less creepy for western audiences) the original line translating roughly to “Good grief, you will be a brat forever, hmm?" Obviously completely lacking the mention of her technical adulthood.Ĭomparing your theory that Himiko is an elementary school student is not a valid comparison as the circumstances are entirely different, the Elise case being a fault of the localization team while your theory simply being something you've theorized. "Elise, when do you intend to behave like the adult that you technically are?". Just gonna steal what battler said but without the argumentative tone and capitalized words but that was a different case.įE typically takes place in the far past in an alternate universe to ours and within that universe (Or at least the localized version of that universe) Elise was technically an adult. "Am I? Stuff like this HAS happened before, namely in Japan to America localizations. Not sure what isn't to be agreed with here? Some people are lolicons and have an attraction to a childlike appearance (or children but I prefer to call them pedophiles). "I don't personally agree with this, but this is a thing, depending on the ages involved."
Real or not however yes it can be considered pedophilia depending on the ages involved and even then it's a fine line. This is basically my understanding of what a loli is, a fictional female character who has a childlike appearance or is simply just a fictional child under the age of 13. However, females whose bodies have not yet reached adulthood can also be considered lolis whilst disregarding their age as criteria."
For example, girls under the age of 13 or 14 can be considered lolis. Loli as described by wikipedia is "A Japanese slang term which represents a cultural version of a more youthful or childlike female appearance, mostly used to describe fictional characters. "Which, depending on the ages, is pedophilia." "just want an excuse to ♥♥♥♥♥ about social norms." " there's no deep conspiracy that she's secretly an elementary student that was aged up to be in high school you're reading way too much into it"Īm I? Stuff like this HAS happened before, namely in Japan to America localizations. I don't personally agree with this, but this is a thing, depending on the ages involved. Which, depending on the ages, is pedophilia. I know you meant that as a fallacy, but what if that's actually true? Being held back is a thing, he may have been held back a few times.īubbascal a écrit :"either have a thing for lolis" "Or what, are you all gonna say that Nekomaru is 20 something because he looks that way?"ĭon't put words in my mouth.
Oh? Okay! Now I know not to respond to you anymore! Thanks for that. "I don't give a damn how she looks, acts, or anything else." She's the same age as the others because she's the same age as the others."Īnd I say that's her official age, but that might not apply, say, mentally. But it seems like you weren't reading the comments that lead up to this. I recall saying that Himiko may officially be a high schooler but was simply aged up to be in the killing game. Or what, are you all gonna say that Nekomaru is 20 something because he looks that way? I don't give a damn how she looks, acts, or anything else.
She's the same age as the others because she's the same age as the others. You're going to concede now, right? Or are you going to move the goalposts and say "it's not enough"? Utter nonsense. It's also ironic you mention how a person acts and how it's a "big factor", as Himiko acts like a childish "magical girl". Himiko may have been aged up to get around that.
