It doesn't translate to anything in the west, conceptually. Culturally specific phenomena should be left with the original word.

http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/p_to_r/prohibited_images_of_children/

>In order for an image to be a "prohibited image", there are 3 elements that must be satisfied. An image must meet all 3 of the elements which are:

>1. That the image is pornographic;
>2. That the image is grossly offensive, disgusting, or otherwise of an obscene character; and
>3. That the image focuses solely or principally on a child's genitals or anal region, or portrays any of the following acts:
>(A list of very explicit acts)

And then:

>Even if an image is pornographic, it will not be a prohibited image unless it also satisfies all the other aspects of the offence.

So that sounds to me that sexy loli nudes are fine as long as no dicks are present.

What? I knew kids who had chuunibyou 15 years ago here in Norway. Even though it don't have a name, it's still pretty common. I was pretty embarassed being around them at times, but it was kind of inevitable as I played Magic.

Yeah, the anime license.
It's about £250 a year, but you get a small discount if you watch only dubs.
You have to submit to a government check every 3 months to make sure you aren't becoming a Japanese sympathizer, plus you have to give blood and semen samples and are put onto a no procreation list. Standard stuff really.

Yes they do. If not that, it's some other shit. Personally I became one of those herp derp aliens! fags and obsessed with UFOs. Which ironically led me to realize what was happening when I had a sleep paralysis episode and that I wasn't being abducted by aliens. But yeah, I can sure as hell understand why someone who had no idea what was happening would come to the conclusion it was aliens, which then sort of unraveled my alien obsession.

The Japanese anime industry is in fact bigger and better than ever. The producers are rich and making billions.

It's not just about the animators, you don't need a degree in economics to understand that importing from the country of origin, rather than buying a localized version licensed 3 years later, is the best way to support the animation studio and the author.
