Re: Anime Over - Anime & Manga Ban Passes
This will not mark the death of anime, manga and gaming (Yes this bill also affects games for those who dont know) from japan as we know it. It will just result in the fanservice heavy series will be pushed to the 18+ rating (I have also heard that hentai is also exempt from bill 156 for this reason). Also this law will only be in affect in Tokyo and nowhere else. This means that companies can move if the wish to publish their material. This is how kyoto animation are not going to be affected by this. This also can be a helping hand in the removal of heavy fanservice from anime which is not a bad thing (So long ikki tousen ^_^). Also its something like the this will only really come into effect if the author recieves 6 or more warnings within a twelve month period.
So you can still get your quality series. Also dont forget its questions the artistic merit of why they look like that.
I am annoed that the person who thought up this is an extreme racist and homophobe. His ideals are severely outdated (But this can be attributed to Japanese culture) and he would be more comfortable in 1910 not 2010. He does blame homosexuals for a lot of things if you ever read any of his statements.
