22. Black Cat
23. Tenchi Muyo
24. Rekka no Flame (?)
25. Keroro
There are more that the government in Japan is gonna censor because of the violent and/or sexual content in these anime/manga
The website that talks about this is here:
http://jipo.kir.jp/toha/rist1.htm
AND... The owner of that website is collecting a list of votes of whether the people want these stories to be censored.
Apparently, 11026 People already voted YES for censorship
I'm not sure which to choose, so if anyone knows how to read Japanese, please tell the fellow anime/manga lovers how to vote yes/no:
The news got onto a Hong Kong forum on 2/1/06, so it's pretty recent. But some of you may have already known this and posted on the forum about this somewhere (I think), but the votes do matter as to whether or not we will ever be able to watch heartfelt anime/manga again
http://jipo.kir.jp/ <-The page where you vote
I really hope they don't censor some of these anime/manga because they are very heartfelt, but then I don't want to be responsible for damaging innocent souls of little kids who are tainted by violent/sexual content... So I'm in a dilemma myself.
There might be a possibility that this is just a joke, but I'm not good at distinguishing genuine value of an article
-
Well, shouldn't they just raise the ratings of them? I mean, we don't censor R rated movies, but we don't allow little kids in...
That's a little upsetting.
-
You can't stop people from flipping the remote, that's why the gov has no choice in my opinion
-
Hm.. well I never thought that they would censor anime in Japan. I always have heard that censoring isn't a big deal for them. While over here in the US it is.
-
aw most of those anime/manga are my favourites <=(
-
Well, that's why you participate in vote. I would if I know how to read Hirakana.
Oddly enough, if they're out to get all "racy" anime/manga, why do they include Fruits Basket? It's not that explicit...

same here. like 4 or 5 of those I watch all the time.
-
but they shouldn't have to do that, the reason why they are good in Japan is because they are UNcensored, and flipping the channel should shouldn't have anything to do with the fact if it's rated so much, they shouldn't watch it. It's not the show's fault, It's the person watching. If they still want to do that, PUT IT STRAIGHT TO DVD. don't let it be cut and let it be bought KNOWING it's rating so it can't be blamed at all, if anything the store selling would be blamed.
I doubt any of those shows are going to be changed anyway.

didn't you catch all the sexual innuendo's made by Shigure? and the transexual scenes with the white hair boy (god i'm bad at names)
-
ooopppsss. Other forum said that the above news is a fake. Need to check other sources to clear this out.
Its strange becuase in japan porn is legal so sexual and violence is not an issue there.
-
Really? It's fake, but what's with the current and past year's stat on the vote?
So other forums have already known about this, then? May you be able to tell me which ones? Thanks
-
Hira-san i search the topic ( web address of the above jap site ) using google and end up some chinese forum also discussing this issue.
For me i feel strange because if the news is true and reliable, ANN should already post it already in their site.
-
I don't think this is real, but I don't know Japanese, so I can't read those sites. However, I agree that if this was true, ANN would have reported this news already. And why would they need to censor Sailor Moon, anyway? The show has been around in Japan for over a decade now and it's been just fine the way it is. Not to mention Sailor Moon has already been released on DVD in Japan in its current form and the show isn't even popular in Japan anymore, so what's the point in censoring a show nobody in Japan cares about anymore?
-
DNangel? inu?? TOO HEART? ..O_o andn chobits is not on there??
-
I think that site is just saying the anime *should* be censored... that's their opinion of what they want to see done and they're asking people to submit names of anime they think should be censored. (I only skimmed over the site but that's what it looks like to me) Unless I see some news reports or something I'm not going to believe that. o_O;; I agree with Takato... a lot of those shows are old and not even on the air anymore, so what would be the point? <_<:; Some of them are just ridiculous, anyway... I mean, Tokyo Mew Mew is practically the cleanest anime I've ever seen. <___<
