NOOOOOOO!!![/quote]

Overdramatic and Unnecessary

No hentai will be banned unless it's <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Yaoi or</span> Yuri. This ban is for anime that can air on TV, manga (non-hentai), and video games anything that can be sold at a normal store or air on TV.

That's like saying no candy will be banned unless it has sugar.

No...It's more like saying no candy will be banned unless it contains garlic.

Seriously, I have seen a lot of Hentai, and Yaoi or Yuri, I have never encountered, unless I went out of my way to find it.

titles like what?

bleach will get banned? >.<[/quote]

Anything that's not a children's anime and a few like Pokemon and Pretty Cure will be banned, Pokemon for cruelty and Precure for shoujo-ai.

Wait...my pokémon will be... BANNED?!??!!
And since this'll spread to video games that means.....

NO...I want him dead.

I'm surprised a few of you don't know what H-Yaoi and H-Yuri is, sure there aren't many in anime (most titles are R rated, some PG-13) which could explain your confusion.

what is R Rated? xD and PG - 13?

will bleach be banned? i dont think so :S what you guys think?

There is a chance of any anime title unless it's hentai or most children's anime to get the axe or sent to 18+ with all of the actual H titles.

hmmm bleach is like one of the most seen anime in japan... i think it'll just be moved to 18+... anyway its kinda bloody so the 18+ rate would be the most suitable for it xD

That is most likely for all of the big 3 and things like Madoka which are more graphic in violence, I bet we will be seeing the bans more for ecchi and romantic themed anime.

In all seriousness...since Anime is such a large part of modern Japanese culture, not to mention income and exports, I'm sure there will be consequences for this decision.

most likely... it doesnt say anything about violence but only talk about the things that resemble the h-yuri h-yaoi and ecchi...

Well it says cruelty or criminal acts, cruelty can be interpreted easily as violence of course it could fall in criminal acts as well.

hmmm its not criminal acts fighting against other monsters... i think xD

I got the feeling that Japan went closer to North Korea in a little different view =.=
I bet the recently earthquake on Japan was directed at him <.<
Seriously does he really think MEN is better than WOMAN?
"old women who live after they have lost their reproductive function are useless and are committing a sin,"
And you man are useless at your old age becasue nobody wants you =.= There was a reason why we made man and woman equal. I bet you couldnt say that if u were married to someone and actually cared about her(or him if that is what he's actually are into).

More on the fun side:
What if he actually got a woman at very last that he had loved for years, but happend to find out that she cant bear him a child becasue of old age. And thats the reason for everything. That would be so lame <.<

EDIT:
Lol he actually is married and have four sons? What would the one hes married to react when he says she is useless unless she made him more sons lol?

No, it's cruelty according to him, since according to the bill monsters no matter how evil and heartless have feelings.

so they get moved to the 18+? because of cruelty? xD or what happens?

Yes, that will be the result.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happen.

inb4 revolution.

To be honest, even though I don't watch a lot of current anime, this will surely hurt the industry in the long run. It reminds me of when the censorship in the US got bad. It makes everything go to shit.

Also, I should add that Ishihara is (On a personal level) a terrible person. Unless those quotes posted a few pages back are fake.

This guy..........this guy.......................THIS GUY MUST DIE!!!


I don't think manga writers is going to sit easy with this and we the readers will have somewhat differcult time ahead of us.
