Tokyo approves Youth Ordinal Bill
0
prevents the sale and renting of “harmful publications” — materials that are “sexually stimulating, encourages cruelty, and/or may compel suicide or criminal behavior” to people under the age of 18. Bill 156 would require the industry to also regulate “manga, anime, and other images (except for real-life photography)” that “unjustifiably glorify or exaggerate” certain sexual or pseudo sexual acts. Another section of the revised bill would allow the government to directly regulate the above images if the depicted acts are also “considered to be excessively disrupting of social order” such as rape.
Well, this means people under 18 can't watch anime or read manga freely from now on..
I guess the underage won't be able to read Naruto anymore because of Tsunade's breasts huh?

The bill will only directly effect Tokyo. Now the indirect effects could be wide spread or not at all. Hopefully the bill will be repelled or they will just relocate everything to Osaka.

This could possibly be a good thing. Now series writers will stop producing all that crappy ecchi/fan service anime and create something with a story *gasp*.

Aye. Having too much of ecchi can destroy a good story *coughtoloveru/rosariovampireanimecough*

I've seen enough rehashes of the same ecchi anime time, after time. I miss ones that actually have story, depth and characterization.

That sounds too good to be true. I doubt this bill will be enough to erradicate the sea of mindless works that have been flooding the industry.

Fan service anime has been the only thing really funding the industry for sometime. Anime that rely on a good story are not guaranteed to sale because people who do not like the story will not pay for it. Fan service anime will almost always sale cause everyone loves boobs.

Agree with That1guy.
Ecchi and the like is being seen more often because it's popular, thus generates more profit. If it didn't make a good profit, it wouldn't be made. Thus, it's only being created because more people will watch/buy it than not.
HOW is this bad? For fucks sake, if you don't like it, don't watch it. What the hell would be the point of simply removing it all?
I don't enjoy watching Mecha anime, does that mean I should support it never being made again?
Christ... people are sheep.
On topic: This bill will change much or very little. There is nothing that can be done about it one way or another. We simply have to wait an see.
