Yes but, will Konami become canon?

I can imagine the scheiße storm the eleven otaku will create when the directors decide to pair the two off with random men. :D

Uh, whats your point?

How else would I know what a Konami is if I didn't loot /u/ on a regular basis?

And what I have in my KagaxKona folder won't stop the Elevens from mailing death threats to the director when it happens. :wink:

Anime and I think a comic strip? I'm not sure if there is a manga to go with it though.

A good watch if you like schoolgirls. :)

I also refuse to believe Konata is 18. Then I'm reminded of the average height of Japanese girls.... Which is why platforms were so popular there....

The Asian female I talked in great detail to for close to an hour today blows your theory out of the water. She was close to 6 feet.

Not really. I knew someone who required drugs to stop growing. He was 6' 5'' by the age of 11, and had grown so fast he had the build of a gazelle.

I don't like having to constantly look up at people. I'm only 5' 8''. I'm usually the shortest person in the room, wherever I go. 8)

Besides, if you like Konata for her looks, you're going about things the wrong way.... 8)

What?

Konata belongs to Kagami~n. You can't censor their love.

Konata suffers from this. At some point during the show I recall it being mentioned that her menstrual cycle hasn't started yet. Then there was the episode where she mentions how childbirth could easily kill her, as happened to her mother. So, I dug around wiki and came to this conclusion.

I refuse to believe any of the characters in that show "look" their age. Hence why it's not my cup of tea.
I don't care what age a character is labeled.

You are all right. I've just watched the LS dub, and they are all talking about being in "11th grade" and "turning 17". This would mean that Konata is either 16 or 17, and playing h-games! What makes it more disturbing is that her father allowed her to watch him play these games when she was a small child.

It would be a very different story if Konata looked like this:

Then we'd probably believe the suggested age.... 8)

Hmm I guess maybe they figured it'd mean it was less suss for people to fantasise about her and they could get away with making her say stuff about sexy anime maybe whilst still keeping her minderjährigen mädchen looking (as they all look) to appeal to the minderjährigen mädchen types, but claiming she was older to make people not feel so weird about ogling her? Appealing to a higher target audience by making her minderjährigen mädchen and of consent age... Though please don't think I'm creepy for thinking that :oops:
