Well I said "questionable" moreso because people are still afraid of going to court for it because the laws aren't very clear but cartoon porn depicting minors is not illegal in itself. I think they would generally win if they were taken to court but it is easier if they can avoid it entirely by some censorship. This is why for example, JastUSA (visual novel publisher) always lists the character ages at 18+ even when they clearly aren't. It's not cause it is illegal to have the correct ages, it's cause they don't want the trouble if someone wants to challenge them on it. "Congress passed the PROTECT Act of 2003 (also dubbed the Amber Alert Law) and it was signed into law on April 30, 2003 by then president George W. Bush.[50] The law enacted 18 U.S.C. § 1466A, which criminalizes material that has "a visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture or painting", that "depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct and is "obscene" or "depicts an image that is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in ... sexual intercourse ... and lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value"." - from Wikipedia also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_testBasically I figure as long as you can show that it has artistic value any good judge will allow it if they are following this law. The problem is that with the law like this it is basically a case by case basis for whether a particular material is legal or not.

Wow they totally removed the bath minigame? That's weak
Also Zeron that is a huge load of BS. morally harmful to others? How? And child porn? These are drawings. No actual child is depicted or harmed in any way.
This is censorship
Do I really need to explain why enabling, encouraging, and rewarding someone to get into the tub with a naked, under-aged individual, who has no family relationship to you, and touch them in any way, shape, or form is considered 'morally wrong' by most modern societies? (Which is what the mini-game does by virtue of being a virtual simulation that gives positive re-enforcement for doing that. And yes; if you'd bother to read my quotations is it porn 'by American law'.) But since this is the internet... enjoy. It mentions at least two cases where the 'cartoon images' of lewd acts were considered additional counts of CP along with the other 'real-life' material. With an additional instance at the bottom mentioning the single individual to be solely convicted for possessing 'cartoon' material. This isn't even me injecting my own personal opinion on the matter and please; don't take my word for it. Free free to pull aside anyone you see on the street. Any race, any religion, any background and ask them. See if a majority agrees with that statement. The 'how' or 'why' doesn't matter; this is one of those things determined by society as a whole. It's not encouraging you to do this in real life. Is GTA3 encouraging you to kill and steal from random people in real life? Get real. I'm aware of the legality of cartoon porn depicting minors. It hasn't been totally outlawed or anything so I wonder if you only paid attention to the parts you liked. It's legally questionable but not outright illegal. For my personal belief, I say as long as no one is actually harmed you should be able to draw and sell whatever you want. Of course, they should still have warning labels and make it so that people who are too young to view such materials should not be able to get them. If you want to draw a manga about a fetus having a threesome with Ronald Mcdonald and a dinosaur I think you should be allowed to do that.

I actually watched Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero.
Why? Some people said the show was descent.
Actually... it's pretty descent. There's an average story with some interesting character development. The hero isn't lame like 99% of the harem anime (which is a nice change) The biggest problem of the serie though is that the hero is a male Mary Sue... and of course the giant amount of gratuitous fanservice. Fanservice isn't evil per se, but like everything, it needs to be used with moderation. This anime keeps shoving it in your face, and worst is, it would have been OK even if it only had half as much of it.
Oh yeah, this will be getting a second season. I guarantee it.
EDIT: Oh yeah, girls peeing also. That was pretty creepy.
I liked it at first (mainly cause the main guy had a sack and uh...it has girls?) but I liked it less the more I watched it. The characters have no depth at all and don't make up for it with good comedy either. I was expecting the class rep and the lesbian chick to get more screentime or something but they are just side characters, only the main guy and boobie demon princess seem to get any attention. The story is also awful. The premise is fine but the way it is carried out is blah. I dropped at 10/12 eps.

Music: **--- (Very bland, only a couple tracks stood out)
Presentation: ****- Great CGs and art design, love some of the characters(the Royal Guards, the twins, Vester); makes up for the bad ones(Eliza, Trisha, etc.).
The music is indeed very bland. I'd give sound like a 5/10, easily worst thing about the game. edit: after finally hearing some of the music from the PS2 version on youtube, I can safely say the sountrack in the PSP version is butchered. tracks that sound boring and lame on the PSP sound quite good on the PS2 and Eliza's character design is awesome :P I finally cleared the Dukheim route yesterday (one of the endings anyway) and it was enjoyable, has some good new content. Somehow it took me this long to realize that skill effect +3 x 2 and a thorned power makes Crev basically invincible. >_> He doesn't even lose HP for using the thorned power as long as you've to the HP drain skill maxed with the skill effects boosting it. I was using mainly ATW down +3 and weapon damage up +3 till now, but apparently you can't get his ATW below 17 anyway, and having another skill effect on makes it go that low (with a ring with -18 atw on anyway).
