Yeah, but it makes shows that aren't meant for children look like they are shows that are. How can you explain someone getting drunk off of coffee? Jesus Christ, this country's kids are sheltered.

its a cartoon about robots or killing people with magic and special weapons or whatever other crazy storyline this one has. but if you can explain those things i think you can grasp someone getting drunk off coffee.. what if it was irish coffee? i can get pretty ripped off that. taking a little blood out isnt ruining anything.

Yes it is a jutsu in the sense that it is a technique, but the way the entire series has described it, they have disqualified it through nobody saying "Rasengan no jutsu" when they use it.

.............. yeah.... u can get drunk off coffee

Not really. This thread isn't going to be turned into an anime good or bad thread so don't start.


Is this country sheltered? Maybe, maybe not. Every country has their own ideas. Orientals allowed men to dress up like women for century's, and place no value on the sanctity of life so death is treated differently. Death before dishonor. But I guarantee you they think some of the things we do in this country is over the top. Goths, child executions, abortions, et cetera. All their students wear uniforms and respect in that country is something that I highly admire. You are given respect in that country, unlike over here. How about our Western culture neighbors in Europe? Prostitution and public printing of nudity is legal and quite normal over there, but pornography is illegal. Different strats for different cats; its called differences in culture.

Now, if you don't understand what Mega is trying to say your an idiot. There are allot of subtleties in anime that make it good. When those are tampered with you have a bad product. In other words, it isn't so much that someone could get drunk off coffee, but was it necessary to place "Coffee" on the cup so that you would know that it wasn't sake? The guy could have been feeling a buzz off of anything. Little things like that take away the feel of the show, and not, it isn't the same thing when you tinker around with it and change things up.
