oh, butt this was the safest thing the anime studio could do with shin Ikkitousen. just adapt the currently ongoing manga.
the panties thing annoy me in this articles selected shots ( i have not watched the new ovas yet) Ikkitousen did that thing where the panties were anatomically accurate, thus a way of evading genitalia censorship ( tl;Dr camel toes). |

It's called entertainment. You are not required to take anything away from it. If you weren't entertained, it wasn't for you. If we all cared that much about tonal whiplash, there would be plenty of anime over the years that you could cross off the list for watching. Tonal whiplash is a personal preference, one that I have no problem with. I consider it a charm in many cases. Hit Girl in the Kick Ass movie is one such. Seeing a little girl bloodly kill a bunch of criminals with a spear was fantastic. |

I appreciate the content/age warning going into the article, but the main page banner image is pretty NSFW. Checking news on my break and it's just ass right away.

Please change the thumbnail, I dont at all appreciate coming to this site and getting blasted with the giant NSFW image that I never asked to see. Same goes for every NSFW thumbnail you guys put up to be in ultra large view first thing when you visit the site. Im getting really freaking sick of it.

This thumbnail isn't safe for work? U do realize u ain't seeing nudity right? U also realize that a swimsuit is LITERALLY a pair of bras and panties right? (or a dress in the case of a school swimsuit ver :P) and that u also see THIS MUCH butt at the beach right? Ya'll are complaining about NOTHING and if ur work is THAT stuck up about seeing something u see at the beach anyway, then u may wanna rethink where u work, just sayin. lol Honestly ya'll should be complaining about all boys and men who show their chests bare, naked, nipples and all as women also are attracted to men's chests/nipples yet this gets a pass? Ya'll got ur priorities backwards lol
On that note, as to the article's q (Which I didn't bother to read, sorry), the answer is NO, it does not. Not due to the content of seeing clothes rip and such, but becus the story is crap. Despite this for some reason I liked the anime enough but, am not gonna waste my time watching S2 or anything past S1 as, it was just bad. It was bad back in the day too. (And fyi, I watched S1 a few years back so yeah, I can say it was bad both now and abck in the day) |

And, you assume everyone some kid behind a screen at home looking over website? Here's some news for ya, a lot of people read news sites at work, at jobs where they get monetized, and at my job, IT would flag that image as pornographic, end of story. No one cares about your opinion of underwear vs swimsuits, get over yourself. There are said netiquette what constitutes NSFW posts, this banner certainly over that. Like other posters this crosses the line, especially with disclaimer and large pop-up asking over 18! ANN get-your act together, you know better. Staff talks about safe spaces and whatnot. This post definitively does not portray that. Furthermore, this is ANN website, and this regular article so disclaimer that does not represent ANN does not pass mustard. |

There are no official rules of netiquette. It is whoever yells the loudest who is the winner. No one should be browsing anime sites, even ANN, while at work. Whether it is ads or content, there is sure to be somebody who will find offense, even with the tamest of pictures. You only have to read the forums here, to see that is true. |

This is why i said in my initial post, but now I'll add to it "If u are browsing the web at work, which is likely against ur work's rules anyway, then u should find another job that doesn't give a crap about this kinda thing and that also won't fire u for browsing online while at work" and like Tars said, everyone, person and work place and those who're on duty AT the place u work at, will all tell u whats ok and not ok regardless of whether its against the rules or not or even diverges from how u'r supposed to do ur job (Something I PERSONALLY witnessed myself many times including that happened to me while I was working) and in terms of netiquette what constitutes NSFW posts, this is EQUALLY TRUE for each and every site and member of said site. (Especially on forums and chats) Ultimately, there ain't anything wrong with the thumbnail and what i said in my OG post still stands but I'll end it on this note, if u'r gonna browse at wrk, u are risking ur job already when tis liely against the work palce's rules to browse online while at work when u'r supposed to be doing ur job. (And even on break they may not want u to do that) and if u browse online while at work, u also run the risk of getting in trouble if ur work and whoever is on sees something they deem as inappropriate. (Regardless of if it is or not and this one isn't :P) The real kicker here is customers likely can be on the web at ur place of work, see the same (or actual NSFW stuff like genitalia) and not get in trouble (Though in this case they may be asked to leave) and the only reason why the employee would get in trouble (assuming work is ok with ya being on the web) is becus of how SHALLOW society is about this stuff and fear mongering cus people may not wanna come back to that palce if an employee is seeing NSFW stuff on the web. On that note I have nothing more to say on this. |

People have work breaks, pal, and an overly-risque banner photo(banner, not thumbnail) when the main page is usually pretty SFW is an issue. It really doesn't necessitate another "Ugh, the woke again" diatribe from you. |

Never in my life did I think I'd see an essay on why it should be ok to look at a half naked anime girl at work

In my case, no Im not looking at this at work, Im looking at it with my personal eyes and my eyes dont want to be sight shocked with something lewd on an otherwise nonlewd website. If it was just the small thumbnail on the main page, I would "ugh" and move on with my life, but when Im inundated with it via the VERY LARGE image scroller on top and the side thumbnail even when Im looking at other articles, its a problem. I visit ANN as my general anime news site because 95% of the time, the images thrown at me arent lewd. So no, I dont appreciate this. Its not even difficult to change a simple thumbnail or even crop it. And it is truly hypocritical to post the article with content warnings, but keep shoving the content warned image at everyone in large sizes where they cant get away from it.

You don't get to dictate what pictures ANN can and cannot put up. If you don't like it, find your news elsewhere, it's not that hard. The image isn't even remotely inappropriate. You'd find a far more inappropriate sight at the pool or beach anyways.
Maybe you shouldn't be browsing sites that aren't work appropriate while on the clock, huh? If you're so worried about IT flagging something, well then that means you shouldn't be doing it. The images aren't lewd nor do they cross any line. By that logic, muscle magazines and swimsuit issues should be locked up or blacked out and hidden for "18 and over" in stores (they aren't!). Calm your freakin tits. |

I have read the comments went back and looked at the picture and really cant see what people are upset about. If it was a sumo wrestler lying there in his mawashi would we be having the same argument. They wear less and definitely show more ass?
If that thumbnail is offensive to people maybe they should think long and hard about what triggered them. Mostly it seems people are worried that someone else will see them with it on their screen, which indicates they fear being associated with that kind of imagery or its personal shame. In either case then i think maybe Manga and Anime are not mediums you should be exploring in any way as that would trigger either of these responses quite frequently |

Ofc, it could just be a belief without religious views, but in any case here, this is LIKELY the reason why ur example (and mine from an earlier post) is why no one complains about the same thing that men show. It can't be nudity for one and not for the other, thats NOT how that works. Common sense and logic should seriously be applied to here instead of getting upset cus u saw something u normally don't see outside of the beach or in ur own home or when u watch Hentai/Porn lol and thats the other thing here, every single human, i don't care WHO u are, when u reach a certain age u WILL have "u time" and when that time comes, ofc u'r gonna see images whether in ur head or not, which is why its all the more ridiculous that this "freaking out over women showing skin which isn't even a damn sin in the first place"as its the thought itself thats the sin according to the bible (Despite health studies showing its normal and HEALTHY and helps the body out!) is so ridiculous and is another reason why I called society shallow. But I feel like am getting a bit of the topic now (just a bit, still relevant), the other point and reason why no one over reacts to men showing this much skin is sadly becus this world, is still run by men largely, esp in the mental state society has had ingrained into them which slowly, hopefully someday, that will change, we're already seeing a bit of that in today's world but thats getting off topic and I have nothing left to say in this post. Edit: Oops, actually one last thing to say in this post. I forgot to answer ur bolded q there. No, we sadly would not but that we already knew lol |
