    aren’t most of those characters depictions of children?

        You point out its cringe because its anime.

        I point out its cringe because they are underage.

        We are technically the same.

      Technically yes, because they are, in the anime, school pupils. Won’t spoil the story here.

      …I assume no, but since you brought it up, hello I’m Chris Hansen, how about you have a seat and explain to me how you came to that conclusion…

        They are, dumbass. They’re the leading ladies of Neon Genesis, two of them are teenagers.

        The one on the right is an adult that sexually molests the underage MC but I’m not sure who the one on the left is.

        If it’s an anime girl and it’s not explicitly an adult you should just assume she’s 15 at best.

          Did this get censored? I watched it on Netflix recently and I feel like I would remember if that happened!

            I think it did get censored in the Netflix version, but it was still implied in the Netflix series. I just got done watching it and IIRC one of Shinji’s dreams/hallucinations of Misato raping him (too young to consent) was actually not a dream.
