Re: Anime Over - Anime & Manga Ban Passes
Thanks for the update Kana.
I read that too where its the Tokyo governor's crusade to stop the spread of homosexuals on TV. Seems that is a lot of what is behind this bill as much as anything.
I'm afraid that its typical Japanese to conform so it will be interesting to see if publishers are willing to go against this but artistic freedom is one thing they might be willing to stand out on.

Assuming it does as strict as possible I would say homosexuality in any form is gone since it doesn't fit social norms.
