Area 88 Review?

Postby Prince Asbel » Tue Apr 08, 2008 7:57 pm

I read the Area 88 review. I was thinking of telling my Mom about it (We've been searching for good anime for a while now), but I looked it up on Amazon, and I want to ask this question just to be sure. For whoever knows, that is.

Anyway, the review on this site says there is no nudity, yet the first result on Amazon's search results shows the picture of a girl with a low-cut top showing a bit of cleavage. Is this a normal thing in the Anime, or is that just some anomale that only occurs on the box art?

Cleavage is not nudity according to our review system - it is mentioned under "Sexual Content" if at all. As far as the anime, I am not familiar with it but I think it's likely that character would appear in that outfit multiple times.

Nudity, sexual content, whatever. I try to avoid that kind of stuff. I also saw the review here http://www.themanime.org/viewreview.php?id=80 and it lists something that should have been covered here. I know all reviews aren't perfect, but someone who has it should check it out. As for me, my current anime video collection consists of only two movies. <:-)

Female characters are a tad rare in Area 88. Some cleavage may appear from time to time, but it's certainly not a common feature.

Hm. One my posts disappeared. Oh well.

It may not be a regular thing. But even so, I had a really bad addiction to hentai, and it never helps to see anything like that. It just makes things harder.

That's fair. I'll modify the review accordingly.

Why aren't my posts appearing?

If you are a new member and your posts seem to disappear, do not repeatedly submit – most likely your post will be accepted within a few hours and you will be on your way to becoming a regular member. Meanwhile, try not to appear suspicious by avoiding lists, images, and links.

Also, the review you mentioned is for the Area 88 OVA, which actually has that scene you described for a few seconds. It is intended for a more mature audience than that of the TV series.
