That, I agree, =P

[Heinzendegger]

I hope you are joking guys.
And if you're not, I advise you to not be as narrow-minded.

Also, I don't want to see them in revealing outfits just for the heck of it, especially Akagi, but Rika should have gotten a decent shot and outfit which would fit her image in the anime, making her into a cutesy type was a bad idea.
And if they were afraid of "getting into trouble" (for showing midriff? nah) they should have cut down on her dirty erotic talk instead, that was completely needless for everyone.

There's something intrinsically wrong in my opinion with finding kids sexy, but I digress... I don't think its an appropriate thing to talk about on a public forum with varying groups using said forum.

Rika's sexy talk is a little over the top though tbh. I remember it being more scaled down in the drama CDS and such.

For what it's worth, the supposed lack of detail can be rationalized by two things; one is that for being so young these idols haven't 'developed' the curves you're looking for. That, and as in the above picture, Miria's midriff isn't the central focus of the scene, so there's little need for it to be emphasized.

Now having said this, that's as much as I'm touching the subject.

Are both of Miku's parents still alive/living together? That phone call Riina had with her mother, and then the quick scene of that photo with a child Miku wearing cat ears with her parents, is really foreboding. It would really explain Miku's obsession with cat ears, if that's one of the last memories she has of a parent or both parents.

This caught my eye, especially. Hurray for character depth in someone who left a bad impression come episode 5!1~!1!one!! Nice to see Riina has that soft side, too.

No, it's much more simple than that, and it shows on every scene of the series so far.
The staff hates lolis, or at least don't like them. That one is for sure.

At this point, cut it out. You're making this a big deal out of nothing and I don't care a crap if the staff hates lolis or not because YOU'RE making it the problem for yourself. You can call me narrow-minded all you want, but if you brought this again, there'll be consequences. No exceptions.

[Heinzendegger]

I hope that you will experience once when it is like when the staff hates what you like, or "you care a crap about" in your words.
And then have as much sympathy as you show. Good job.

It's not like you've done a good job validating your fairness when you pull reasons out of your ass and dismiss anything that disagrees with it. I'd also have this subject dropped, already.

[Heinzendegger]

Feel free to drop the topic, I'm done voicing my complaint that ruined the adaptation for me, but to be honest, anime as a media is no place for anyone liking lolis, not anymore.

[Ivan The Mouse]

To be honest, it's more like the Japanese anime industry in general have began to cut down in the sexualization of lolis as of late, due to the political controversy it creates. Even if it's not the industry as a whole and even just in the staff of CG anime, the point stands still, especially when Japanese politicians are passing laws that are cutting down on this.

In other words, it's not that the staff hates lolis, it's that Japanese politicians do.

Then they should have just gone with some other kids, like Nina for example, but not Rika.
This adaptation is just shaming her, and her fans.

[MetalPredat0r]

What's this I hear about loli midriffs?

Its a rather neat detail that 346Pro is going to the same training camp that 765Pro went to in the movie. My only real fear is the PTSD that comes with the movie's events.

Cue Minami episode? All of my yes. :3

I wish, but it IS looking more like another NG episode. Haven't had one of those in a while.

[Ivan The Mouse]

Do you really expect them displease her fans by not featuring her if she's that popular? I mean, she didn't get a Master CD or something for no reason at all.

Well, let's face it, Rika's appearance and depiction in the anime is a compromise between pleasing the fanbase and not offending sensibilities. Sure, it sucks, but what can we do? We just can't change the political climate overnight, could we?

[Heinzendegger]

No, Rika's depiction is a displease to her fans, killing her popularity, shaming her character even disregarding that she's a passion type idol, and making her into Akagi #2, without even giving her some decent lines much unlike Kirari and needless to say, the perfect glorified sister Mika.
And it's not like midriffs can't be shown in anime according to current politics. It's not THAT bad. I didn't ask for making outright porn of her.
