Lum's... A Loli? Read this article I found on the net and let's debate.

OK, soooo... Many of us find Lum as the quintessential sexy anime character (OK, Fujiko Mine and Aki Hinata and Kasumi Tendo and some others would qualify, too). However, there's a small group of specialists that call Lum not only the mother of Moe (I can cope with this), but the mother of lolicon as well! Don't believe me?

OK: I'll point it out: I started watching UY at 9, became a fan at 16 and I'm still a fan with 29 years old. And I stll think that Lum is plain hot. Will that make me some kind of perv that puts Ataru to shame? I've been talking to my brother, a fellow otaku, about this article. He strogly disagrees. If he spent 70 bucks in buying an exclusive model of Lucy from Fairy Tail (17 years old like Lum, and EVEN MORE WELL-ENDOWED), he says, are they calling him a perv, too? He's 25 BTW. And when I commented about Lum, he responded quite literally with a well... "Bull...excrement" (he prefers Kagome Higurashi and Nami from One Piece).

Ah, and Uncle Gio, still, if you read me, complete this: "La Supercazzola...." :mrgreen:

Takaholic:
Heh, had to read that article... Thanks for the link.

Wow, so Urd's a Loli? Funny she's never looked anywhere near a 12 year-old female to me. Where's Vladimir Nabokov when you need him? It just goes to show that because something is in print (or on the Net) that it doesn't have to be correct, or even close. Even a so-called 'expert' can mis-translate things between languages.

Sounds like your typical Misandrist (She Who Hates Males, aka a Hater!) rant, showing her anger towards men who prefer imaginary characters to her. Get over it woman, it's a fantasy, not reality.

Lum a Loli at 16? Look up legal marriage age charts. She qualifies in most areas of the world quite readily. And besides both sets of parents have given their consent. (Lum's in letting her return to Earth after the initial battle was over, and Ataru's in letting them live together under their roof.) :police:

Thanks for your opinion, Takaholic! In fact, I haven't read "Ah, my goddess" to the point where Urd appears, so my knowledge was limited to Belldandy. Belldandy is a beautiful maiden... But, for my tastes, Urd would steal all the panels!

The age of consent in Spain is, shamefully, only 13 instead of 16 like in most sovereign States in the world, so Lum would be less problematic in my country than in the rest of the world! :police:

Speaking of high schoolers - and I worked in 3 High Schools - it's only when I see an adult actress playing a high school student in a fictional work that I get attracted (I dunno... Well, I hate this film (love the soundtrack, though), but Olivia Newton-John looked great on Grease!). OR... By an idealization from an author! And only if she's 16 of more according to her profile.

So - and the author of the article makes the point, Lolicon meaning has changed (my, there's people who say that showing a female of 19 making out with a man in a manga is ACTUAL LOLICON!). Nowadays I see mainstram manga that put Hideo "Dissapearance Diary is a Masterpiece, read it" Azuma to shame... Take U.Jin. His works are being published by an editorial powerhouse in my country. I don't like him anymore (when I was younger...), but I guess his fans are not all lolis. Im my country, he's a Mainstream author! Oh, well...

BTW, Lum, as drawn by Satoshi Urushirara is smokin' Had to say it.

ezikialrage:
Lum is not a loli. A loli is generally a flat chested prepubescent girl, Lum is not that.

Urusei0Yatsura:
Anime ages aren't in any way representative of their real age. It's common to have women who are supposedly 16 but they actually look like their in their mid 20s. I'm almost 23 and I get people thinking I'm 17.
