That is exactly the reason why I like the Dinner & Movie type of first date. A chance to talk and get to know the woman, and the movie lets me judge what she likes to watch. That is an important bit of knowledge for later on, assuming she wants to go out with me again.

Ok, with that out of the way, here is a question that has come up amongst a few friends:

In Anime, we often see children, usually high-school aged kids, living alone or with a sibling for one reason or another (parents working out of town/country or deceased). Is this just story-telling to make the plots more interesting, or is it based on fact?
