I wasn't keen on the style but I will give it a couple more episodes. We've all our own fandoms and I've been rewatching Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes, so only 36 hours to go :blush:

Episode 2 is probably the weakest link in the series.  Don't give up at that point  :ph34r:

That pic looks like the Madoka girl. /shrug

It is hard to find a Madoka pic without spoilers.  Here is Tomoe Mami from the same show.  I hope this one shows the Puni Plush style better. 



Honestly looks really similar.  Same eyes, tiny nose and mouth...
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Compare Clamp's noodle people style in Code Geass



with Ume Aoki's Puni Plush style in Madoka Magica

Goddamn.  Anime gays up any thread, doesn't it?

My hidden agenda is to use anime as an excuse to bump this thread and remind people of Japan's revisionist antics  :menace:

All I see and can't get over is the perving on children angle.

Which is surprising.

Apart from Grallon, I don't actually know any gay people who perv on children.

edit: Well I knew one once who was a teacher at my school but then on the balance we had more straight males who perved on kids. One even married a former student when she was old enough.
