Anime & Incest??

[spike81x]

thats just the interpretation of the creator.

Technically and biologicaly speaking you're not "blood-related" with you're cousin,so it's not incest,and in case you didn't know you can marry you're cousin in Japan.Also i think incest is a turn-on factor for some,since many hentai are based on that subject.

wow incest is just unspeakable. But anime is still amazing.

It doesn't really bother me, I think it actually makes the anime a little more enjoyable because of the dilemmas and problems the sibling/relative romance creates. And my view on the subject is, is that if the couple matches, I don't think it really matters.

I agree with you and Koopa as well. Those are very enjoyable parts. Hehe.......

Yuri, the lesbian animes, are mostly made for the sake of fan service. The animes involving sibling/relative romances can actually present the incest as a plot device as a dilemma for the main character(s) who have feelings for their sibling, but are confused etc. etc. Take Koi Kaze for instance, which has some big things in it not considered acceptable. This guy and a girl meet, although she is 15 and he is 27, they end up falling in love. Then they find out they are brother and sister. So the anime is about Koshiro's love for Nanoka, his conflicting drive to obey societal norms, and Nanoka's growth into womanhood and her growing feelings for her brother. This is one of the only animes involving things like this to be licensed for other countries. In the end, though, a good anime has a good story, and seeing new and different things is something anime/manga writers consider when making them. An anime with a controversial or taboo subject matter by no means makes it a bad anime at all.

I could not agree with you more my Koopaness...you're points were accurate and concise...and besides INCEST (believe it or not non-believers) is WAY MORE prevalent in the States than people think!

alot of people enjoy that kind of stuff, i mean i enjoy that stuff =3 incest is basically for the fans of it. I think as long as the couples match and it makes a good story, it works
