That seems to be the age when kids learn more mature material, but don't know the concepts of what they're doing. I was flashed(school rules-shorts under skirts), heard some things that I never would have thought to have heard in a classroom, and (>.<) was asked what sex is. But they're really just innocent kids wanting to learn about the older students/siblings they admire, with Rin and Kuro being prime (maybe not so innocent) examples. Sadly, it's all passed of as pedo paradise, or, worse, IS a pedo's paradise. And, I will say that I'm a lolicon, but I have a limit, and it's way above third graders.

As far as the random fanservice goes, it's anime. What do you expect? ;P Just proves that the only ones who call KnJ just a pedo anime are the ones who don’t give it a chance at all.

It's unfortunate when a series has some kind of glaring fan-service hook to it. I lose interest when tacked on fan service seems to be a selling point of a story. Some people would say I'm hypocritical because I love Ghost in the Shell and the original manga has a couple scenes which can only be described as gratuitous fan service, despite the fact that they may be elucidating some element of the setting of the story. Basically, I understand that people can enjoy a series like that and not be enthralled with obnoxious fetishism. I probably won't be watching this series, but for the sake of denying ammunition to those who vilify anime as "unspeakable filth," let's hope the censors get a decent grasp on this show.

Damn straight. Although I personally block out the fanservice, or go like "oh, there's another pantyshot" whenever I encounter one. You've got to wonder about those who watch it for the fanservice, though, because while it is extensive by far, I just can't see them not appreciating the story as it is.

Kojika is a diamond in the rough, all right…but to get to the diamond you have to sift through a pile of used heroin needles.
