There'll be a new anime airing on Japanese TV shortly, titled Qwaser of Stigmata, based on a manga (and yes, it's possible it should be "quasar" instead of "qwaser," but this isn't the important bit). In it, the Qwasers -- part of an Eastern Orthodox school called Saint Mihailov Academy -- a group of powerful people called adepts. It would be your standard dark fantasy series, except that the Qwasers gain their powers through... er, breast milk. Which means they have to nurse. A lot.
...yeah. Now understand that this is an utterly serious fantasy tale, and one that will be airing on TV at that, so it's not just pervert material, although it should go without saying that the mystical ladies who nurse the heroes gain seemingly sexual pleasure from the Quasars' suckling. I would find this horrendously disturbing if it were just some hentai series, but the fact that it's intended for mass audiences makes me want to drink scotch in bed until I black out.
Although when I first saw AnimeVice's headline of "Breast-feeding Manga Gets Anime," I was fairly certain that it was going to be a sports-type series about a girl determined to become the best breast-feeder in Japan. If anyone made it, I'm sure it'll run for at least 42 volumes.

It's only a matter of time before there's show about pretty (most likely underage) school girls trying to archive goddess hood or great power through semen. And it will be completely legit show and it will probably air right after Naruto or One Piece. It WILL happen and I just want everybody to know that I fucking called it!

I can only imagine which scenes will get the bulk of the animation budget. There will be ten static drawings for each episode, and 3 beautifully rendered animations of tit suckling.

So, I take it the Super-Terrific Japanese Thing won't be running any more? Because occultist ninjas with breast-milk superpowers kinda wins it.
I have to go find the pieces of my head, and put it back together, now.

It's depressing to realise I'm not at all surprised or shocked by this. There seems to be a show or two like this every season. You really have to wonder about the people/companies who greenlight and finance things like this.

Well I guess in a way this will justify underage schoolgirls having abnormal amounts of boobage.
I wonder if the females in this series suck their own tits? There seems to be an odd logic here....but then again, if Angel of Darkness II can feature plants that live off of vaginal fluids, what else do you need?
Well, the character design is nice, so I'm all for it.

Okay this is BS. I can't image it being anything of a sexual nature. If anything, Japan has become much more conservative when it comes to cartoon nudity than they used to be. Look at some anime from the 80s where nipples and boobs were plentiful. Then start looking at the 90s where sexytime was starting to be replaced by extreme violence much like we Americans have slapped PG13 or R ratings on stuff if a tit or the shit word is used which in the 80s would have been PG. One the other hand, extreme violence and death here gets a PG13 rating. Shit Robocop back in the day was going to get a X rating. Today Robocop would easily get an R and if some of the more graphic scenes were edited out with a little less blood it would get a PG13 rating even though the entire movie is violent as fuck.
Japan has gone the same route. Innocent, ha ha, sexy jokes like in Ranma 1/2, Dragonball, Urusei Yatsura, Tenchi Muyo, etc. are replaced by more violent shows and any boobs have been de-nipplized (yes Sailor Moon I'm looking at your naked episode 200 battle, where's the nips).
I'm sure this will be weird and it will work in a freaky Japanese way, but don't expect this to be some kind of hentai series. It may be a little more ecchi than most, but I doubt it will be any worse than Family Guy with Peter Griffin trying to breast feed Stewey.

So on a side note, why can't there just be regular hentai? I mean why have pedo, rape/murder, shitting, and all that disturbing crap. Some of these films have great animation only to be ruined by some fucked up shit.
Is Japan as a whole incredibly pent-up?
You know down the line this show will have a "mystical elderly man," who the girls get their powers from too.
WTF Japan. I mean god bless you, but wack off once in a while, it'll help.

FINALLY! A manga and anime that ridiculously uses my church in blasphemous ways. Sure, you got your strange Catholicism in Berserk and Chrono Crusade and shojo manga Priest. Yet finally someone made a total BS take on the Eastern Orthodox Christian church. Just read one chapter and they're talking about an icon of the Theotokos (The Greek name for the Virgin Mary) of Tsartsyn. And they show Mary breast feeding Christ as a child. Of course the story uses this holy image to promote a lactation fetish and sex slavery. Japan is awesome. lol. I find it too ridiculous to be really offended. Wow. This exists because someone gets a boner from looking at the Virgin Mary breast feeding. in japan everything is a fetish... and we mean EVERYTHING.

I don't see what the big deal is.
Fate/Stay Night was a visual novel that contained hentai scenes for the restoration of mana. The anime simply left that plot point out.
That's what this series will end up doing, changing the breast milk plot point slightly.

I've already read the manga, and it's pretty good if you look past the breast feeding, and besides it's really not that big a deal, now if it were LIVE ACTION, I'd be slightly more worried, but it's not and besides if 12 year old kids watch porn illegally, Japan can sure as hell make this and make money off of it. You say Japan is sliding further into depravity? Have you seen the state in which the US is in? Not just on sex but intellectually, morally, physically, EVERYTHING is wrong with it.

As for misusing (Catholic) Christian symbols - last time I checked it, Dan Brown's moronic, but bestselling patchwork of all-you-can-eat conspiracy crap is full of it - heck, even artificial insemation of a nun by a pope's sperm, somehow "cicumventing" their chastity vow - IALMAO.
The movies are rated PG 13, btw...

Wow. I see a few people with some hatred issues. And a few people spouting what seems to be significant sexual repression (mainly those assuming that Japan [oddly as a whole] is sexually repressed).
What gets me is the fact that people think all this stuff is strange. It's just another of those instances were in a person is more critical of an outsider than themselves (basic human nature). Everyone is a pervert. This is even more true if you think you are 'normal'. I envy Japan's ability to express their perversions so openly.
As for the series... could be good, could be bad. I'll have to see it to know.

@genryu
maybe true, but the difference is per capita. That, and the japanese social structure is extremly different than that of the USA. What gets reported as a sex crime in the US might get swept under the rug in japan. mollested on the train? cops are everywhere here. but in japan? just another day on the way to school.

People whom have never been to japan first shut up! Sex is not a horrible thing and is not "hidden" in their culture. In fact many children are very grown up on the issue. They do not have the same culture, upbringing and closed mided ways as we have embraced over the years. We have our own problems and you are worried about sex in anime? Read about how Puritains lived. They were not the nicest people in history. They were radical about their religeon not repressed move away from school history B.S.! Yet we as Americans our fundamentals come from these people! Before you judge it learn about it, experience it. If it not for you MOVE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one forces you to read watch or learn.. Which is why we have converses like this. Mollestations are looked down upon in Japan but no one does anything because no one wants to get involved. Hmm kinda like New York in the 80s. Got shot by someone whit a gun? Buy your news paper, step over the body. Dont call the police because you are late for work! While thinking to your self getting shot is his problem not mine! Japan may not be the greatest country in the world in the same manner if we are not too careful we could end up second best. Love your country not your "Puritain" self! very very texbook....it's sad really. I hate self-righteous people.
