The Anime Industry as We Know it Faces Crisis

[Tanassy]

If they get rid of Lolis I'm going to be BEYOND pissed off.

This.

And also, Fuck you japan. You assholes.
I also love you, but that's another story.

My friend and I were discussing "What if the ESRB entered anime ?=O What would we do without teh panty-shots? XD" this morning =/

Even Doraemon could be affected, and that's basically Japan's Barney the Dinosaur. One episode had the friggin Terminator in it.

Who exactly is it "harmful" to anyway?

Japanese society. Another name for this could be The Anti-Otaku Act, since that's who it's targeting. They hope that by removing anime they can remove otaku from their population.

Why, its not like being Otaku reduces the earth's population...

And how are Otaku bad?
Seriously!

You know what I mean.

[TheGameNinja]

Well... it passed. I can only hope this doesn't turn out as bad as it could.

[Tanassy]

Tell me you're joking?

I need to rage....please. -makes it rant...-

I love how the president/gov never really think about kids/otakus a lot. They only think about schools, etc. It's like taking away the fun. I thought this was a fun and free country. What is this, workworkworkscrewthekidsandanimeforthepeople'senjoyments?

Sure they think of kids/otakus sometimes, but they overdo it when they  actually THINK of kids/otakus. "ohhh it's inappropriate for the kids to watch! BAN IT!"

There are reasons why it's for adults and kids. WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH EARTH THESE DAYS?!

/end minirant.

Also, sorry if I misunderstood or get offtopic. I'm not always smart, y'know. :3

Smart for your age, but it isn't your country's issue, it's japan's.

That was directed worldwide, but the "free country" part was for us doing almost anything, while following a set of rules. It was for U.S then I decided to aim it for worldwide...cause it's been happening lately I guess.
Just don't mind the freecountry part..?

Also, Ihatethegovnow.

Nope. The regulation itself takes effect on April 1 of next year and the restrictions on sales/renting kick in on June 1.
