Ishihara has been re-elected

[MaxNuker]

basically it wont change all that... most hentai is released only in the internet...
most animes that already air at the japanese tv arent the type that the bill says that will ban... most ones that show girls with swimsuits etc, show clearly that they are 13+ so... it wont change that much

 

[Hells Malice]

No! He's banning hentai? Why? Why? Why?
NOOOOOOO!!!

Overdramatic and Unnecessary

No hentai will be banned unless it's Yaoi or 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.

R rated or lower?

titles like what?

bleach will get banned? >.

 

[Hop2089]

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.

 

[MaxNuker]

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.

 

[MaxNuker]

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.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

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.

 

[MaxNuker]

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.

 

[MaxNuker]

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

 

[DarkStriker]

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

 

[Hop2089]

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

 

[MaxNuker]

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

 

[Hop2089]

Yes, that will be the result.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happen.

inb4 revolution.

 

[Tonitonichopchop]

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.
