Tokyo Manga Ban Now In Effect

Well, as of today it's official.

Honestly, since I first found out they wanted to pass this several months back all I can do is facepalm at each bit of news I read about it.

Those fuckers this means war

You know the real reason is the Japan has no rating system and parents can't be bothered to watch what their children are looking at.

This.

Still, this is a silly law. This is hardly something the government should hardly be concerned about, at the very least. There are MUCH BIGGER issues going on right now in the world. The government being concerned about porn is "lol".

WTF! tell that governor to eat shit and die! what does manga have against him.

Hey, what's this? *Click*

Well...this pretty much ruined my day. I should be thankful that my day's about to end.

yeah that pretty much sums up what this thread and its sister thread about anime are going to be for alot of people when they read it


lucky you T_T my day just started, right after my dr. appt got rescheduled when i was on my way to it... now this

Tokyo manga ban.

Weebs hear. OH MY GOD THEY BANNED ALL MY MANGA AND ANIMU... MY LOLI'S AND NTR IS GONE.

What it really means.. a rating system, you have to 18 to buy adult content. More late night non over the air anime and i can't imply more clearly ONLY IN TOKYO PREFECTURE.

@ gambler or any mod... sticky neck-chan's post plz.

No because there are also talks on banning anything 18+.

That would be not possible. Maybe a ban on lolicon, but to be a total ban on anything adult.. then all porn would be illegal and that would violate already established obscenity guide lines and legal precedents. Plus that would have to be be a national wide amendment to happen. Plus the tokyo law only applies to tokyo... and like i said to neko-chan.. MASS EXDOUS TO OSAKA.

I'm surprised that the government is worried about pornography and the like when there are more serious issues happening right now

.... LET'S HAVE A OSAKA RAVE!!! Incest (my fav) over here in the pool with me, NTR in the back with "those people", Japanese schoolgirl near the DJ, oh, let go raid Tokyo and drag all the anime companies over here...

Japanese Lawmaking... Failed!
Manga/Anime censoring... Mild Setback with a few losses.

Other than that, WE STILL REIN KINGS!!!!

For the love of!!!!!!!!!

The mangas done nothing WRONG!!!!!!!!!

Japan banning all 18+ material?
Impossible, Japan is not Indonesia.
I agree with animefreak_usa, you only need to be 18+ to have such material.
And it only affects tokyo area, so what?
Will it affect us here in fakku as well?

Too many people still don't understand what this actually means. Hell, I think some mangaka don't even understand the political logistics of this. Some of acted like they were literally forced to pull their publications, when in reality no mangaka is being force to stop writing/drawing stories. They may have to have a rating, change publishers, etc... but no one is being forced to stop writing/drawing.

As long as I can still easily read Kodomo no Jikan then I'm okay with it as it stands.

"Order 66" was executed.


On a more serious note, I don't care since it doesn't really affect me.

This Ishihara has apparently been the governor of Tokyo since 1999.

Isn't that a little TOO long? And who is he to judge such content anyway, the guy's no different himself!

All the news I've seen has called it a ban, not adding an age ratting.
So where did all the ban talk come from then?
