Hard to have a sense of humor when someone calls you a faggot with no playful intent, in a comments section relating to a girl’s cartoon. Lighten up, all of you!

kyouki, don’t be an ignorant twit by throwing out labels that only serve to characterize you as an uncultured brat. The internet would be better for it.

I can fully understand why Maruko-chan wouldn’t be successful in America. It’s demographic is already controlled by shows like Hannah Montana and stories involving princesses and magic, hence why Sailor Moon was able to be a breakout hit.
