Simple. I like Louise and so does Proin. Obviously she's a loli. She also is a tsundere. She's small, flat chested, and cute. Especially when making the pouty face. She is 100% pure loli. Now this is like strong acid. A strong acid is one that ionizes 100% in water. So how can you tell which strong acids are stronger? You use some different measure. Similarly, Louise is 100% loli, but so is Mao (Earth Defense). I don't know how they measure the acidity of strong acids, but for loli its largely subjective. Louise lacks a completely childish face and I feel the tsundere-ness takes away from her loli score as well.

[edit] While thats the more widely used definition in anime, I much preffer this one by the way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_(term)

This would have, at the top of the list are characters like Cosetto (Cosetto) and Mimi (Mnemosyne). They are unquestionably suppose to have a more adult appeal to them while still remaining children. This is why I don't find lolicon to be that big of a deal. If an individual in real life liked an 8 year old like Nanoha or Fate (both from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha) then thats a bit odd (I'm talking real girls, not ones like Nanoha or Fate). Thinking someone who is post-pubescent, but still underdeveloped, while social unacceptable is still, in my opinion, within the realm of "okay". Not that I am suggesting it should be legal for a 21 year old to fuck the brains out of a 13 year old.

[edit2] I'd also like to point out that ephebophilia (sexually desiring younge people in their teens) is not considered a paraphilia and thus is not a disorder. The attraction felt by a 30 year old man towards a 12 year girl, while unacceptable in Western society, is not considered an actual problem from a psychological stand point.

Or pH meters.

Like nstgc, I employ a definition of loli that is less strict. Under that definition anything with a cute, childish charm, in terms of character design and personality, qualifies. So Louise definitely qualifies, and to some extent Shana as well.

I was thinking more gereanly. In both cases, Psy and Hure O know that they use other chemicals and I assime they can use electricity (to messure the pH). I also assume they can just titrate it with something. I'm not sway I don't know the details, not that I know nothing,

Yeah Shana is 95% loli and a 4 of the loli scale. The cast of Sky Girls. 100% loli and 10/10.

that's borderline toddlerkon.

And to whomsoever mentioned Lina Inverse: she is indeed a loli character, both in appearance and age (she's 15)

and loli refers solely to the physical appearance of the character: shorter than normal, flat chested, flat butt, etc.

LOLI IS NOT A PERSONALITY TYPE. personality types are tsundere, yandere, etc.

loli doesn't mean innocent, either. it means a physical body indicating an apparent innocence based on perceived age, not actual innocence.

The linear nature of your Euclidean geometry both confounds and befuddles me.

true, but it is an appearance associated with an age.

Can any of us think of a loli that doesn't appear to be underage? From Kiddy Grade, Lumiere is hundreds of years old, but she is most certainly a loli. Personally, I feel there is something about her that makes me think isn't isn't a proper loli though. Oh, never mind, its just her standard outfit. I absolutely can't stand it. When she wears other clothes She definitely is a loli. The point is that age isn't what matters, but they do have to look a certain age.

While I can't think of any right now, A character who was "born" a certain age physically is not a loli just because she is 1 month old. If that person looks 20, then she is no loli.

On a side note, I never considered Lina to be a proper loli. She is an ass kicking tsundere sorceress, but there is only a hit of loli. I feel she looks too old, mostly in the face. This is also, in real life, how you can tell small women apart from children. My brother for instance would probably be in jail if his girlfriend's face wasn't that of an adult. With her small child like body and squeaky voice (for those who thought the "cutesy female anime voice" wasn't physically possible, rest assured that it is) her face is that of someone in her 20s. Lina sufferers from the same problem.

[edit] Also, I wouldn't be so certain about the "innocent" part. Daiakuji, Inma Seiden, Love Doll, and Temptation for instance have characters who physicaly meet the requirements of loli, but there are girls who very much lack innocence. I can't remember all their names (the only noneinnocent-seeming lolis I can think of at all Rachel from Love Doll and Hitomi from inma Seiden) but all four have perverted little girls in them. There are plenty of examples, but typically in the other examples you can blame it on some form of brain washing.

Another questionable loli is Momiji from Momiji. Under certain circumstances her breast will enlarge leaving the realm of loli-ness. Also there is a little girl (who probably is suppose to be in collage ::)) with huge tits in Chains of Lust. The rest of her body is child sized, but her chest. Are these loli's as well.

[edit2] some non-hentai examples of loli without innocence would be PuniPuni Poemi's Punie, and Burn Up (I think X) Maya. Neither cases involve proper loli. Maya looks to be at a borderline age, and Punie doesn't sound like a little girl. Furthermore, both can be said to have some degree of innocents. The four H anime mentioned earlier have girls who most certainly are not innocent. Hitomi asides, they are sluts in small bodies. In fact I can't think of any decent examples (Inma aside) whom can't be described in that manner.

Well, in Try Lina is already 17 :) Moreover, her childish features are only brought into attention when it comes to a gag on this topic, and it's basically the only situation she exhibits childish reaction. For the rest of the show, her behavior is pretty mature, at times matching Xellos'. In fact, a way more developed Amellia definitely has greater loliness rating. May be loli and moe are linked after all...

Even though loliness is all about certain physical features, there's also a factor of belief/disbelief involved. Loli character has to exhibit certain childish features in her behavior, otherwise you sort of register all the traits indicating she's a loli, but you feel like it's just a trick and not for real. Innocent behavior might be one helpful to outline a loli, but not necessary. After all, remember where the term comes from :D

I really hate Siesta and hope she falls off a cliff and dies in this season.

But apart from that, it's been good so far.

Whats wrong with Siesta? She doesn't come with excess fanservice and with out her we would be lacking sides on the love polygon.

The one who needs to fall off a cliff is that "elf" who isn't even an elf or even a half-elf. She is a boob monster with a cute face. She's also a bit too short. They need to reduce her bust size, and stretch her out (in general she is too "full"). That or they can get rid of the ears. The simplest solution is to get rid of the ears (since she is a half elf its possible for her to look almost completely human), but then that which distinguishes her from the others (her milk jugs aside) would also be removed. She would just be a big titty woman with a cute face, strange cloths, and magical powers (magical abilities seems to be inversely proportional to bust size like math skills).

This would almost make her a copy of Kirche :)

In fact, Siesta annoys me as well, even though Kirche didn't. Probably, Siesta is too pushy, thus making the love polygon more... tight than seems appropriate for the show. Basically, you can make out with or even seduce Saito, but it's obvious who's he going to chose in a long run. So, what Siesta is doing looks like hitting a brick wall with your head, which is already annoying on it's own (yeah, I don't really enjoy practical jokes)...

Well, to her credit she is a half-elf so I'm not expecting full-blown elf features anyway.

The way I see it, she's an excuse for me to get to hear Mamiko Noto's lovely shy voice in ZnT :)

That is true.

Being half human doesn't excuse her appearance.

Louise lacks a completely childish face and I feel the tsundere-ness takes away from her loli score as well.

I would like to add that I as well likes Louise, and I belive I share Proin's and nstgc's tastes in this matter.

About Siesta: I also do not like her, but I am aware of the fact that without her there would be no love polygon. I felt the same thing about Yoshida Kazumi, I guess I just don't like the rivals. Allthough they are certanly needed.
