not that I'm watching it but MAL says that the main girl, the silver hairish one is HanaKana. That is if you meant Mayuri from Steins;Gate... I can't think of anyone else decently popular with that name right now.
But looking at it just now... wow that is one hell of a voicetrap if I ever saw one oO I might actually watch it for that, thanks o/
Looking at the screenshots tough, seems pretty hard on the "okay I can't just pretend I don't care about them being lolis and totally watch it for something else"-edge
wtf are you talking about why do u think im watching it in the first place LOL i literally unpaused for 1 second coz i was gonna look for a screenshot and: + Show Spoiler +

If you are talking about Rewrite, the girl Hanakana plays isn't an actual character, and is rather a plot device that occasionally is voiced. It also has a total of one loli amongst the main cast, its just they are all big bug-eyed Key art like Clannad and Little Busters and stuff.
Kotori isn't a loli, and who is Chi? Do you mean Chihiya? + Show Spoiler +
Doesn't look like a loli to me. And Kotori has a slightly larger bust than her.
The main cast of girls all have roughly the same build, aside from Lucia having big ass tiddies, and Akane being a bit bigger than Kotori and Chihiya. Seriously, just look at their measurements, theres barely any difference in figure between the girls who aren't Lucia and Shizuru. Shizuru is the only loli of the cast.
it brings up the difficult question which is 'is a 16 year old a loli' (since i'm guessing the girls are supposed to be late 16). generally i say loli is 15 and younger. but what about a girl that is 16 but still has a childish face (and personality)? i think you can push loli to 17 if you try hard but the rule would probably be that most 17 year olds are not loli.
i think ultimately basing lolihood on age is incorrect because (like i said earlier) it comes down to whether or not she has a childish face still. if she does then she is a loli nomatter the age. but of course finding someone over 16 with a childish face gets increasingly rare. if they are 16/17 and drawn with a 14/15 year olds face then they are definitely loli.
it does from a glance look like they might be drawn younger in the animu
The shots you just posted are just QUALITY off-model shots from a low budget anime adaption, which you are using to argue against the actual art from the VN, which was relatively well drawn. Not to mention its just showing off Key's typical art style that is characterized by same-facey inflated heads and giant bug eyes. Akane is about 18, Kotori/Chihiya/Lucia are 17, and Shizuru is 16. They are high school students, not middle school.
Just finished watching DNAngel. Really enjoyed it, would recommend. + Show Spoiler +
Really glad that Daisuki moved on when he realized that Risa doesn't feel the same way and I loved how his relationship with her twin, Riku developed even though the original trigger was the kiss from Dark in the first episode. I've seen romances butchered or rushed too many times and with this one, it felt like the progression was right overall. Could it have been better? Sure. Would've loved more moments where they spend time together etc... but it's pretty good overall. Felt pretty happy about it
Liked the cast as well and how everyone has their own quirks and personalities. Developments were great too including Risa realizing that she was being selfish and becoming a 'fine lady'. OP was amazing to listen to. Only thing I would've liked is my previous mention of more moments and maybe more dark vs krul fights, nothing else. 10/10.

oh nice, they beat yuto. Looks like they will have him show up again later as an even stronger villain. And it looks like benio and rokuro's relationship has deepened. Yay. Also mayura learning to fight should be interesting.
Looks like next week is fillers. I hope that they can contribute to the story instead of being just there to pass time though. I doubt it though but I would like it if the anime just did it's own thing rather than just copy a ongoing 30 chapter manga or something because I think watching the anime original stuff is more fun than the manga stuff and when we do get to the major important parts from the manga (like the yuto or basara fight) it just makes it better.
ya, loved the fight. The part about Rokuro powering up and regenerating was a bit much imo though. Based on what I read from manga spoilers: + Show Spoiler +
seems like he was already in that powered up state during the fight (or most of it) so guess it makes more sense (but i think he still got that badly injured as well hmm)
. I'd rather mayura stayed on the sidelines. I can't see her being a good exorcist and no way can she be on their level unless they give her some random powerup.
Did the manga even get to the yuto or basara fight yet being only 30 chapters in? It's likely we'll be stuck in fillers for 5-10 episodes at least.

Here's an ultimate "it's a loli" test to use - if you were to watch lewd scenes with the character, would you be afraid of winding up on a list after a visit by law enforcement?
Dropped Tales of Zestiria. Got halfway into the new episode and realized I didn't give a shit about this story or characters (especially when you put them up against the previous 2 episodes).
Down to just 2 shows from this season and 2 holdovers.
I thought episode 6 was amazing. The part where you thought the main character (forgot his name lol, one of his names is Bruno though I think, and his real last name is Lagusa) betrayed Nero and had actually killed him was amazing. At first I was sad because I was enjoyed the adventures of the Nero gang, but then I thought it would be so interesting to see how the protagonist would deal with Vanetti ( I figured by working for Orco), but then he kills Orco so lone ranger time? The thing is all of those possibilities for the story were interesting that they could have ended up being the story and it would have been equally great.

No because i live in a country where drawings aren't people
Also if you use age to define what is and isn't loli then i don't even know what to say. Lolicon is specifically about prepubescent girls, most 14-15 year old girls are not prepubescent. And then you have thousand year old lolis. Or highly developed girls who enter puberty incredibly fast on the other hand.
I hate 99% of all loli characters though, probably the most garbage archetype character there is.
loli is quite simply a girl with a child's or child-like face, so up until ~16
pubescence is not an indicator of loliness , coz the age of menstruation can vary wildly as you said (and averages around 13), so you might have a pubescent 12 year old who looks younger than a non-pubescent 15 year old, or even a pubescent 12 year old who looks older than a non-pubescent 15 year old. are you going to call one of them a loli and not the other? pubescence (the age of menstruation) has no factor in it. notably, males are unable to tell whether a girl (loli or not) is able to menstruate/reproduce, so in practical terms the 'age of pubescence' doesn't even exist, she is gonna get fucked (or not fucked) with absolutely no regard for this
the simple test is 'does she have an adult's face or a child's face?' . if she has a child's face rather than an adult's face then she is a loli
and ultimately sometimes this is going to be debatable and personal opinion may differ (although some people may have a more finely tuned perspective than others)
sidenote: some people will try to define loli as a girl with absolutely no secondary sex characteristics, but then girls of this classification will still continue to exhibit various sex characteristics such as bodyshape. hypothetically if you go ahead and strip away every single female sex feature from a loli then the ONLY feature left to distinguish her from a male is going to be her face. so we are back to square one where a change in face is the only way to determine whether she is a loli or not
