characters, than you will find plenty in anime. Man, you guys are treating this like it's some kind of foreign alien language, it's story telling, lol.

Outside of Japan, it is.
Mar 12th 2015

      its relatively niche in japan too
Mar 12th 2015

      pretty much. that's why they can get away w/ so much degenerate
