Many anime series concentrate on childhood romances for not only their comedy, but their drama as well. Pita ten and Akazukin Cha Cha use the multiple romantic triangles for most of their comedy, And the kids are 10 thru 12 years old. Digimon tones the romances down, but it is still present. It's level of childhood romances is about equal to Raijin Oh, a sunrise studios kids mecha program from 1991. But Magic circle Guru Guru with it's protagonists, Nike and Kukuri would be a good level for kids shows to aim for. Nike would get a look at Kukuri's rump, and think about her rump for the next 7 episodes. Having flashbacks to a closeup of the little gils round bottom. Kukuri on the other hand repeatedly fantasized about Nike grabbing her and kissing her, with Kukuri delightedly vocalizing, " No Nike! Stop stop. Laughter." The 2 kids were never actually going beyond thinking about sex. But they both thought about it a lot. And only wth each other. Romantic rivals didn't have a chance of breaking those 2 up. So this would be a good level for future kids shows to aim for. What do all of you think?
