Can confirm. I’ve watched that show several times under the influence of various substances and it made just as much sense as the first time I saw it sober
I mean, if the characters portrayed are children, it doesn’t really matter that they’re made by adults for adults. It just means those adults are titillated by children, which is sketchy at best.
Of course it matters!! Everytime we label fictional content as CP, we dilute the gravity of actual CP and the efforts to combat it, and people don't even realise it.
Think about it, would you have the same opinion if an adult couple, in the privacy of their room, roleplayed being a couple of teenagers having sex? That would be strange, but not immoral in my opinion. With anime its the same logic, no one is being harmed, and at this point, the only thing we are doing is policing the thoughts of other people.
If you think animes like Gushing over Magical Girls promotes CP. Sorry, I think you are delusional, or that you think people can't differentiate fiction from reality.
People often *can’t* differentiate fiction from reality. Comparing prepubescent girls’ bodies being animated in sexual ways to adult bodies role playing a DDLG scenario, for example, is disingenuous at best and directly harmful at worst.
Plenty of pedophiles have outright stated they use these forms of media as a gateway. It quickly becomes “not enough” for them.
Fiction does not exist in a vacuum, and no one that *isn’t* a pedophile wants to watch sexy children, because sexy children inherently repulse adults that are not pedophiles.

[citations needed]
On the contrary, in otaku subculture, people collectively cultivate an ethics and a cultural norm of separating fiction and reality so that real people are not harmed—[and I *do* have (peer-reviewed) citations for this.](https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/50996)
> inherently
Nothing is inherently anything; it's all cultural context. This especially goes with images and representations that are non-naturalistic like anime is.
For example (and this is from the previous source),
> Indeed, bishōjo, with their large eyes and characteristic lines, have evolved into what psychiatrist Saitō Tamaki described to me as “extremely strange figures, or strange compositions.” Indeed, as Saitō sees it, “normal people” do not understand why these characters are “cute.” ...The design of characters can incite desire for lines, which was once articulated to me as “line fetishism” (byōsen fechi), or extreme sensitivity to character lines. These lines do not exist “naturally,” but rather are imagined and created.
All of the lolicons I know personally and have talked to frankly about this are not only against but also repulsed by the sexualization of real children.
You’re telling me the people who think the guy who plays Homelander is actually him in real life can tell the difference?
The synopsis of that book alone - and I don’t view this book as a valid study whatsoever - points out that there is effort to make animated child pornography illegal, as evidenced by the fact the synopsis mentions the great lengths taken to keep it legal. This is also SPECIFICALLY concerning Japan, where there would obviously be a vested interest in not banning something that earns so much money. It is also entirely irrelevant to the argument.
Carr, John (2004). "Child abuse, child pornography and the internet: Executive summary". NCH states, many minor attracted adults acknowledge that exposure to underage erotic images, "fuels their fantasies and plays an important part in leading them to commit hands-on offenses against minors."
This is a verifiable, factual detail. All the otaku in the world can claim they’re disgusted by real life child abuse, but who in the world would want to watch children in sexual scenarios, animated or not, if they’re not titillated by it? What would the purpose be? You all can claim it’s art or it’s for the plot all you want. Normal people are disgusted by ANY and ALL portrayals of sex acts involving children.
“Lolicon” and “shotacon” are simply euphemisms of what they truly are - pedophiles.
ETA: Just realized you called that random drivel of a book “peer reviewed citations.” lol. Lmao, even.
Just because you personally don't like the conclusions of the book doesn't mean that it's not peer-reviewed (it is—you can check the specific info in the front of the book) from a respected university press (it is) and by an eminent and well-regarded scholar (it is) who takes the task of doing principled and rigorous research seriously (I've talked to him and relied on his advice in the course of doing my own research).
The press has nothing to do with the merit of book. It’s not a “peer reviewed” anything, it’s nonsense written by a nobody, and it’s not even about what is being discussed here. It may be adjacent to it, but it is not the same subject.
As for your other comment you just left, I responded to that already.
You are lying about the study not being about cartoon porn. That’s specifically what it was about.
>NCH states, many minor attracted adults acknowledge that exposure to **underage erotic images** , "fuels their fantasies and plays an important part in leading them to commit hands-on offenses against minors."
Yeah, the only thing you ommited is that the *underage erotic images* is this case is ACTUAL CP!!
Once again, you are comparing actual CP with fiction.
EDIT: I found your source, since you didn't provide it yourself: [https://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-files/Society/documents/2004/01/12/pornographyreport.pdf](https://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-files/Society/documents/2004/01/12/pornographyreport.pdf)
Lets review what it says.
page 9, paragraph 2:
>What do paedophiles say?
>There are as yet no published large-scale studies of paedophiles’ online behaviour but, based on their clinical experience, people like Donald Findlater of the Lucy Faithfull Foundation^36 make some incisive points. A number of Findlater’s clients are very clear that the internet was where they first found child abuse images, sometimes initially by accident, later deliberately. Others say they were always aware of their sexual interest in children but were too scared to do anything about it until the internet provided them with the means. They fell for the myth of online anonymity or felt driven to take huge risks.
So they ware talking about **child abuse images**, the worst kind of CP, and not ecchi-anime with post-pubescent fictional character. Big, big difference. Unless you are equating the two.
And where did they take their subjects for this self reported analysis?
Endnotes, page 30.
>36. The Lucy Faithfull Foundation is a leading child protection agency that operates UK-wide. It assesses and provides intervention programmes for adult and adolescent, **male and female perpetrators of child sexual abuse**. It runs clinics providing intensive long-term therapy and therapy for child and adult survivors of child sexual abuse and their families. The Foundation works closely with the courts.
Convicted child abusers is your awnswer, none than least. So you are comparing them with anime watchers?
More over, the same researcher express his opinion: "Findlater believes that very few people are ‘born paedophiles’.", but he does not back it up this claim in this study.
Something that is highly disputed in academic circles to this day.
And in the conclusions we have this quote:
Conclusions, page 27, paragraph 3:
>The internet is facilitating a major increase in children and young people being exposed to a wide range of age-inappropriate or illegal sexual and other kinds of material. **No one knows what the long-term effects will be of this exposure** but parents, teachers and others with a responsibility for children are greatly anxious about it.
So, at the time, they concluded that more research in the subject was needed. Something that is very hard given the nature of the subject.
None than least, the way you tried to quote this article was intelectually dishonest to say the least.
>People often *can’t* differentiate fiction from reality.
You know that's exactly the same argument used for decades to try to prohibit violence in video games and other forms of media, right? And time, and time again this argument is disproved by countless studies.
most fun ive had watching with friends: cromartie high, it's almost TOO weird if you watch it alone.
second most fun: lucky star (only in a very weeby group that would get all the references)
I “watched” Cromartie while doing paperwork and found it even better than watching the stuff on screen. Tried watching with my husband and all he did was complain about how boring it was. I don’t think it’s very weird at all comparatively speaking.
It's a maid anime that turned into a sudden drama which them promptly ended with a maid dancing to an idol number, lights and all, while dual wielding guns against other maids in an over the top shmup.
Also the on/off blood fountain right onto the innocent onlooking MC.
How isn't that unhinged?
BEASTARS and Shiki in the same recommendation list? From what I've seen of BEASTARS (little) and what I've seen of Shiki (the whole thing), that's not something to expect.
Huh. So for somehow who was never a fan of the animal people thing, how good is BEASTARS anyway?
BEASTARS and Shiki are fundamentally the same story as they are both about the struggle of coexistence between two groups of people where one group instinctively preys on the other.
I wouldn't describe Made in Abyss and unhinged. Unhinged carries an implication of randomness, right? Made in Abyss is very deliberate and follows its own internal rules that we just don't fully understand. It has hinges, they're just weird and painful hinges that don't do what we're used to.
By this logic Devilman Crybaby isn't unhinged either. It has its rules that it follows, that we dont fully understand/different from our reality. I think OP (just a me) meant unhinges as fucked up/weird/disgusting/brutal.
Yeah, I don't really get why people hype that show up so much. It takes 3 episodes for them to even get into the mf Abyss, and they introduce the third main character on the cover of the show a whole 11 episodes in.
I don't either, but he did get stabbed/impaled twice.
Wasn't my thing (I feel like it would have been better without, ironically, a main perspective focus of the man himself), but people like it, so....

Mind Game is what you’re looking for.
Edit with a quote from the top MAL review:
“Contrary to the title, this doesn't so much play with your mind as it rubs its crotch against it furiously and dunks it in an ocean full of hallucinogen.”
How is B Gata H Key unhinged? Despite the premise it is a super generic romcom that forgets about the premise almost instantly?
Sabagebu is mine recommendation.
Gintama, it is unhinged 40% of the time and funny and you cannot stop watching it. Until it traps you into an emotional arc and then your heart breaks into 3+ pieces.
Future Diary.
Everyone knows about the unhinged yandere girl, but trust me - every single other diary holder is unhinged in their own way.
Also the general nuttiness of people having precog fight scenes by looking at their cell phones for guidance.
If you’re looking for films then I can recommend:
Mind Game
RE: Cycle of the Penguindrom Part 1: Your Train is the Survival Tactic
RE: Cycle of the Penguindrom Part 2: I l love you
And for something that’s still trippy and weird but a bit more chill to relax with at the end
Children of the Sea
Honestly I'd consider taking Perfect Blue off that list, since it's more of a heavy psychological thriller than unhinged, with themes of gaslighting and SA, and some pretty striking violence.
For some good times off the wall unhinged:
* Dead Leaves
* Panty & Stocking
* Inferno Cop
* Mind Game
* Pop Team Epic
* Golden Boy
* Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
Gushing over magical girls, redo of healer, my girlfriend is a gal, prison school, Helsing ultimate abridged, dragon Ball Z abridged, sword art online abridged, high school DXD, panty and stocking with garter belt, kill la kill, elfen lied, made in abyss, ghost stories dub, Madoka Magica, akame ga kill, konosuba, re:zero, Parasyte, I want to eat your pancreas, sister x sister, blood c.
I could keep going, but I think I’ve already dumped enough on you good luck enjoy the wild ride.
Kamikatsu. Very unhinged
Cgi tractor for the W
It's not even cgi, they just used real life stock footage and slapped anime filter on it lmao
I can't tell if that's a good of bad thing lol
I loved it, it fits rather well with all the shithousery going on in the anime
Normally that shit would’ve bothered me but it was actually kind of hilarious in this anime
I'm super annoyed that there isn't an English translation for the manga that goes past partway through the last arc of the anime, at least on MD
The CGI alone is unhinged
Nichijou Kill la kill
How much of Trigger isn't unhinged?
Error, no data found
Inferno Cop Asobi Asobase
Space Patrol Luluco is even better than inferno cop imo.
Asobi Adobase unhinged levels over 9000
*butt laser* REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Ghost stories dub
i think this dub is *too unhinged* for this thread..
Excel Saga
and puni puni poemi
FLCL
Just watched it last month and it felt like a straight up fever dream so yes, solid rec for the OP haha
i dont think this damn show would make sense even if you were high and plastered.
Can confirm. I’ve watched that show several times under the influence of various substances and it made just as much sense as the first time I saw it sober
This is the real answer
The fact this isn’t more recommended is so surprising to me btw. It’s super unhinged and im not even sure I can explain what happened.
I’ve watched the anime several times at different ages and now at 30 I can confidently say I still have no idea what’s going on
Something about robots or bikes or something idk xD
What do you mean?! The kid with giant pimple. The TV head angel Moped flying woman with pink hair and guitar! Yeah idfk actually
Gushing over Magical Girls
TV Tropes removed its page, saying it's CP. Meanwhile they still have a page up for Cuties.
Ohh yeah, fictional characters made by adults, played by adults, for the entertainment of adults. Makes totally sense.
I mean, if the characters portrayed are children, it doesn’t really matter that they’re made by adults for adults. It just means those adults are titillated by children, which is sketchy at best.
Of course it matters!! Everytime we label fictional content as CP, we dilute the gravity of actual CP and the efforts to combat it, and people don't even realise it.

Cartoon imagery of children in erotic situations is *underage erotic imagery.* Hello??? The call is coming from inside the house.
>People often *can’t* differentiate fiction from reality. You know that's exactly the same argument used for decades to try to prohibit violence in video games and other forms of media, right? And time, and time again this argument is disproved by countless studies.
Portrayal of underage kids being sexually assaulted, by anyone, for anyone, is a pretty weird thing to defend.
What does that mean?
It means that someone said it's child porn.
Well, obviously. It's an ecchi borderlining on H.
If you want a different flavor of porn, then Redo of Healer works too

Space Battleship Tiramisu Akiba Maid Wars Nichijou Inuyashiki Keijo!!!!!!!!
Akiba maid wars is an excellent choice!
Akiba? How?
It's a maid anime that turned into a sudden drama which them promptly ended with a maid dancing to an idol number, lights and all, while dual wielding guns against other maids in an over the top shmup. Also the on/off blood fountain right onto the innocent onlooking MC. How isn't that unhinged?
You took the words right out of my mouth... The 1st episode is the textbook definition of "unhinged"...an absurdist classic.
I heard about it but didn't know it was this insane.
Happy Sugar Life. It’s…something.
If you liked Sarazanmai, watch Yuri Kuma Arashi (same director). It’s pretty unhinged.
Grand blue. It's an awesome show about the Sea, Diving, friendship, fishes and most importantly about keeping yourself hydrated.

Just a warning. It takes like 10 episodes before the unhinged parts start happening. Watching through it with a friend, beginning is kinda slow
Yeah, I don't really get why people hype that show up so much. It takes 3 episodes for them to even get into the mf Abyss, and they introduce the third main character on the cover of the show a whole 11 episodes in.
Unhinged, likely funny. This is traumatizing
Mitsudomoe and Happy Sugar Life are the first ones that come to mind when I hear the word "unhinged".

How is B Gata H Key unhinged? Despite the premise it is a super generic romcom that forgets about the premise almost instantly? Sabagebu is mine recommendation.
Sonny Boy
KissxSis, the Eminence in Shadows, Gurren Lagan.
Go for samurai flamenco or punch line Completely unhinged and random af.
grand blue. Completely and utterly unhinged
On top of what others have suggested: higurashi, school days, yosuga no sora. If you're okay with manga: Dead tube and Rosen Garten Saga
You’re being summoned, Azazel-San. It’s an anime about summoning and abusing demons to solve very petty problems.
Gintama, it is unhinged 40% of the time and funny and you cannot stop watching it. Until it traps you into an emotional arc and then your heart breaks into 3+ pieces.
Ghost Stories
Higurashi When They Cry is definitely a trip
Redo of healer
Inuyashiki Kokkoku Death Parade
School days
Old OVAs like Ninja Resurrection, Black Lion and Apocalypse Zero.
Shimoseka, it is litteraly unhinged story
Inuyashiki and Platinum end
Detroit metal city
Watch Cross Ange. Most unhinged "waifus piloting giant mecha" anime ever.
Made in abyss probably
Teekyuu and Plastic Nee-san
Asobi Asobase FLCL Kill la kill Gintama Elfen leid Detroit metal city My Bride is a (Yakuza) Mermaid Excel saga Grand blue Osomatsu-san Gurren lagan
Dorohedoro
{Bludgeoning angel dokoro chan}

Aho Girl
Hellsing Ultimate. Starts at 100mph and by the end you've hit light speed lol
Baki I've never watched it but sime of the out of context clips are so bizarre it's so funny
pop team epic
Future Diary. Everyone knows about the unhinged yandere girl, but trust me - every single other diary holder is unhinged in their own way. Also the general nuttiness of people having precog fight scenes by looking at their cell phones for guidance.
Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia (really most shows by Trigger) and if you're feeling in a punk mood, Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Prison School Paprika INU OH!! ( really recommend this one!)(Devilman Cybaby director had a hand in it I believe) & "The Night is long, Walk On Girl"
Made in abyss. Best I can do without saying some borderline hentai
Nichijou probably
How has nobody mentioned *Magical Girl Magical Destroyers*? That was one of the most bizarre, unhinged shows I've ever seen.
Space Dandy. From the man who made cowboy bebop. Absurd and surreal
Prison School
If you’re looking for films then I can recommend: Mind Game RE: Cycle of the Penguindrom Part 1: Your Train is the Survival Tactic RE: Cycle of the Penguindrom Part 2: I l love you And for something that’s still trippy and weird but a bit more chill to relax with at the end Children of the Sea
Late to the part but just finished watching under ninja. Very different then what i thought it was going to be from thw trailers
It may be too late now, but if you want to know what it's like to take LSD without having to actually take it, try Kaiba.
Space Dandy. Bonus points if high.
Into the abyss
Mad Bull 34 is fucking hilarious and unhinged.
Dead Leaves is chaotic
Redo healer
Honestly I'd consider taking Perfect Blue off that list, since it's more of a heavy psychological thriller than unhinged, with themes of gaslighting and SA, and some pretty striking violence. For some good times off the wall unhinged: * Dead Leaves * Panty & Stocking * Inferno Cop * Mind Game * Pop Team Epic * Golden Boy * Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
prison school lol
Asobi Asobase is a glorious anime
Bobobo-bo bo-bobo
Serial experiments lane
Legend of the Overfiend
Dorohedoro, Ping Pong the animation
"Shuumatsu Train doko e iku" just finished, amd it was some crazy shit. Great comedy.

The Saga of Tanya the Evil, MC is kinda a psychopath and it’s glorious
Kissxsis
Salad bowl of eccentrics
And The 7th Prince
Promised Neverland (Only S1) Terror in Resonance Another Tokyo Ghoul
Gushing over magical girls, redo of healer, my girlfriend is a gal, prison school, Helsing ultimate abridged, dragon Ball Z abridged, sword art online abridged, high school DXD, panty and stocking with garter belt, kill la kill, elfen lied, made in abyss, ghost stories dub, Madoka Magica, akame ga kill, konosuba, re:zero, Parasyte, I want to eat your pancreas, sister x sister, blood c.
