Anime

The anime series, directed by Eiji Suganuma and produced by the animation studio Studio Barcelona,^[2] was scheduled to air in Japan on October 11, 2007, but TV Saitama cancelled the show.^[3] Two additional Japanese TV stations, Mie TV and Tokai TV, cancelled the broadcast schedule for this series. Takai TV cited controversy involving the series Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai and recent juvenile axe assaults.^[4][5] Chiba TV and KBS Kyoto still planned to air the series, and the anime first aired in Japan on October 12, 2007. However some parts of its content suffered censorship, from panels covering parts of the screen in some moments, to full censorship of audio and video at other ones.

Controversy

Lolicon as a storytelling device

While the use of human sexuality as a tool for performing character studies is by no means a novel concept, much of the controversy surrounding Kodomo no Jikan can be directly attributed to the fact that most of the main characters in the series are children. The notion of children as sexual beings in their own right, with feelings and desires of their own rather than perpetual objects of abuse by adults, is neither particularly mainstream nor popular, and the very idea is considered unpalatable and offensive by some individuals.^[6] Though the pervasiveness of lolicon elements, fan service, (purposely misleading) suggestive imagery, and sexual innuendo in the manga is indisputable, they are predominantly used as either vehicles for ribaldry or tools for character development, as the main cast often wrestle with often complex emotions, complicated aspects of their own sexualities or social lives, unresolved childhood traumas, or psychological issues. Examples of this include: Lolicon art often depicts childlike characteristics with likely double meanings. ... Fan service ), sometimes written as a single word, fanservice, is a vaguely defined term chiefly used for Japanese visual media—particularly in anime fandom—to refer to elements in a story that are unnecessary to a storyline, but designed to amuse or sexually excite the audience[1][2]. It is... Ribaldry is a third, and somewhat neglected, genre of sexual entertainment. ...

• Rin Kokonoe's comically outrageous attempts to seduce her teacher by any means necessary. While seemingly little more than an innocent crush at first, the definitive running gag of the series later takes on a far more serious undertone, when it is revealed that her actions are rooted in the fear that her own inner darkness - the product of a mysterious traumatic experience linked to her mother's death - will one day consume her. Her intent appears to be to use unconditional love and the unwavering support that accompanies it to counterbalance her personal demons and (self-)destructive tendencies.^[7][8]
• Kuro Kagami's inability to clearly express her lesbian attraction to Rin as well as the merciless taunting and verbal abuse of her "romantic rival", Aoki, for being a virgin and (alleged) pervert.
• Rin and Kuro's farcically inappropriate level of sexual knowledge for children their age.
• Mimi Usa's struggle for acceptance and establishment of a sense of self-identity in the face of ostracization from her peers due to her intellgence, greater physical development compared to other girls her own age, and poor athletic prowess.
• The lack of sexual experience of both Aoki^[9] and his most outspoken critic, strict fellow teacher Sae Shirai.^[10]

In spite of the sensitive subject matter, no concrete evidence of grossly inappropriate sexual conduct between the adults and children among the main and supporting cast exists. Rumors to the contrary are largely the result of rampant speculation by readers and the Kodomo no Jikan characters themselves, a product of their attempts to unravel the central mysteries of the series (namely the impetus behind Rin Kokonoe's unusual behavior and the exact nature of her relationships with the people around her), and several of the most controversial ones have already been addressed and/or discredited during the series' run: Look up farce in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Child sexuality refers to sexual feelings, behavior and development in children. ...

• Aoki comes to the (not unreasonable) conclusion that Rin's sexual advances and merciless teasing only affect him to the extent that they do due to his own lack of sexual experience rather than on any illicit desire on his part.^[11]
• During an intensely emotional confrontation towards the end of the Grade 3 schoolyear, Rin forced Aoki to acknowledge the existence of his strong feelings towards her.^[12] While the situation at the time suggested to both parties involved that there were only two possible alternatives - either he saw her as a woman and potential romantic interest rather than just a little girl or he did not - this later proved to be a false dilemma: after a chance statement by Mimi, he realized that his feelings for Rin were not sexual but platonic in nature and that he had developed a "father's love" for the girl.^[13]
• Following Mimi's tearful confession about her crush on Reiji, Rin comforts her by stating in no uncertain terms that her second cousin "is just like a father to her", even going so far as to give her close friend formal permission to "follow what her heart tells her" with her blessing.^[14]
• The more questionable items in Rin's wardrobe - such as her babydoll, string panties, and low-cut underwear - were purchases she either made with her own allowance^[15][16] or convinced Reiji to buy for her ^[17] rather than age-inappropriate gifts from him (as Aoki initially believed to be the case). In fact, he has vocally protested her wearing of revealing outfits on numerous occasions and has attempted to discourage her from doing so.^[18][19]

Marked differences in societal norms have led several scenes and developments in later volumes of the manga to fall victim to misintepretation, especially by North American readers with little more than a passing familiarity with Japanese culture, a fact that the series author Kaworu Watashiya has lamented about in one of her blog entries.^[20][21] The form of the fallacy of false dichotomy as an argument map with the conclusion at the top of the tree. ...

Manga licensing

The manga had been licensed by Los Angeles–based company Seven Seas Entertainment for distribution in the English language in 2006, and the first manga had been slated for an early 2007 release. According to Futabasha, the English trade name was chosen to be Nymphet after the original artist requested the title and demanded its use for the English manga.^[22] The manga, however, soon became the center of a controversy on whether it should be appropriate for American audiences to view due to an article made by Anime News Network's "Answerman", Zac Bertschy. Jason DeAngelis, the president of Seven Seas Entertainment, wrote in a statement that, "Specifically, those who are speaking out against Nymphet seem to be disturbed by the relationship between two characters in the story, namely an elementary school student and her adult teacher." DeAngelis decided to delay the title so that he could "have an open dialogue with the large book chains and other vendors."^[23] The manga was subsequently cancelled due to these concerns. DeAngelis said that "'...it's not appropriate for Seven Seas to publish Nymphet,' and that it would cancel its release of the manga."^[1] Flag Seal Nickname: City of Angels Location Location within Los Angeles County in the state of California Coordinates , Government State County California Los Angeles County Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D) Geographical characteristics Area     City 1,290. ... Seven Seas Entertainment is a publishing company located out of Los Angeles, California. ... The English language is a West Germanic language that originates in England. ... Futabasha Publishers Ltd. ...

In a second statement regarding Nymphet DeAngelis explained some of the reasoning behind the series' cancellation. He stated that, "my primary reason for canceling Nymphet is due to my recent realization that later volumes in the series can not be considered appropriate for the US market by any reasonable standard." However, another reason given was that, "[the vendors] began dropping their orders left and right, so their opinion on this matter became pretty clear cut."^[24]

Specifically, DeAngelis said that he went back and re-reviewed the later volumes of Kodomo no Jikan and discovered content that he regarded as highly unsuitable for publication. The specific pages mentioned showed a scene of the main characters, Rin Kokonoe and Daisuke Aoki, stuck in a room with freezing temperatures. Rin hugs Aoki to try and stay warm, and in the process accidentally rubs Aoki's crotch, who gets an erection. Some fans felt that the author's choice to depict an adult character "forced" into a situation where he was inadvertently aroused by a child character was appropriate, since it was "accidental"; these fans claimed that DeAngelis was grasping at straws by labeling such a scene inappropriate.^[20]

On June 7, 2007, Kaworu Watashiya posted a blog entry on Kodomo no Jikan's controversy in the United States.^[25] Watashiya commented that, "what I heard about 'issues in volume 2 and later' made me realize the differences in the cultures between the countries."^[20] The author went on to cite instances in later volumes that showed intimate relationships between cousins and a bath scene with a child and adult, going on to say that, "my honest feeling is, 'It's unfortunate, but what can I do?'"^[20] is the 158th day of the year (159th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
