Kodomo no Jikan

Episode 11 is VERY loosely based on the manga. It looks like the director/writers went out of their way to dramatize the lock-in event, which was not necessary given what's coming up if the manga is any indication. The anime team should really stick to the gradual plot growth and conflict points presented in the manga, otherwise it's really going to come off as being a paranoia wreck. There's no need for a Nice Boat ending.

I would have to say the newer chapters are a bit unsettling. There's a roller coaster of child's play and innocence and then out of no where, the mangaka makes a big molestation scene and all the drama that it entails.

The anime is definitely getting ahead of itself.

.. I kinda figured as much; something didn't quite seem right with a child wanting to push a teacher down a flight of stairs & there was no reason for Reiji to become psychotic.
.. In the beginning, covering-things-up and blanking-out-words was cute ( to a point )

.. hmm .. I wonder who will stop doing the series first; the translators or the TV Stations!?! .. hehe .. School Days was dealing with Teenagers, this series is set on pre-teens ....

Chapter 34 was quite a bit of drama. Also, hyperactive/alert Adults!

Season 2 is greenlit.

The uncensored DVD eps are slowly crawling out - is it worth getting the censored TV eps first?

I don't know why they even censored the TV eps. The material in the manga wasn't all that offensive or overly sexual...although since this about kids, things get blown out of proportion.

From the stuff I was reading, they edited the show a bit to air (images to cover up sections of the screen, bleeped audio, etc.)

I feel kind of... bad for enjoying this show.

I must say. The ending credits of Kodomo no Jikan must be the most awesome thing ever. That dance of theirs is just... wow.. <333
