OK, to stimulate discussion, let's talk about Bill 156 that has been recently been passed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly and its effects on Tokyo-based manga publishers, anime studios and producers and game developers.

Read up on them in sankaku, ANN, as well as some of the blogs (usually linked in articles and found in the comments).

Personal opinion: i think the public is just starting to notice of such stuff and getting it overhyped in a bad way. I mean anime/manga/doujinshi have been around for over a decade (if not more).

It all depends on the wording. Characters that are clearly very young probably shouldn't be drawn in a sexual context. It's similar to kiddy porn. On the other hand, I hate censorship, and no children are actually exploited.

It's definitely not an easy issue.

The wording is so vague that Naruto could become 18+ because of its "depiction" of violence, as well as its "depiction" of minors engaging in violence.

One Piece could become 18+ because of its "depictions" of crimes (the most obvious of which is piracy), as well as "depictions" of lawlessness in general (well, we are talking about pirates).

It does not only deal with sexual themes, it covers all "depictions of virtual crimes...which are illegal in real-life."

Then I am completely against that level of censorship. That is completely uncalled for. It's modern day book burning.

Actually no, because ACTUAL BOOKS are not covered. :roll:

So Ishihara's (the one that proposed the bill) novel about gangs, rape, and other petty crimes by highschool boys and girls is not covered at all.

There would be an event for his novels on March 2011:

I said modern-day book burning. Books are not this age's medium of choice any longer, thus new legislation target electronic mediums. The effect is the same, however.

Dammit....i still cant find if there is any info on a next season of "Historys greatest disciple". I really do like the manga more than bleach and naruto combined.

Good luck waiting, i havent had news about the anime ever since it ended...

Oh... Man.. GITS movie.. even if it's a 3d one.. lol..

Can't believe Yu-Gi-oh is coming with more stuff.. lol

Wile E · Dec 19, 2010

Stein's Gate, Appleseed, Deadman Wonderland and Ao No Exorcist all look interesting.

GITS movie, not so much. I couldn't give a damn less about 3D. I've already seen SSS, no need for it to be in 3D.

Rant time: I am already fed up with all this 3D bullshit. It gives us nothing but shit products. They are so focused on making things look cool and pretty, that they completely forget to write a damn story. Movies like Avatar are a prime example. The story was garbage, but it looks neat. And now it's bleeding into anime with SSS. "We can't be arsed to write a new and original story, so here is one you've seen already, but with amazing new 3D." Give me a fucking break already. I sincerely hope this whole 3D craze fails, but I doubt I'm that lucky. /rant

I forgot all about SSS all ready being out.. :banghead:

I'm with you on the rant.. I've seen 5 3d movies and I can say they didn't impress me much... Now, we got almost every damn movie being made with that... I'm just hoping that Micheal Bay doesn't think its good for Transformers: Dark side of the Moon... It's a waste on how you think people's brains are even set up...

Your not the only one Wile...

entropy13 · Dec 19, 2010

I'm not really complaining about 3D though, because the price difference of one ticket for 2d and one ticket for 3d is basically the price of the free popcorn and drink you get with the 3d ticket.

Cold Storm · Dec 19, 2010

free popcorn and drink... man, wish that was the case here.. I've never got that..

entropy13 · Dec 19, 2010

The 3D ticket is roughly $5.50.
The popcorn and drink is roughly $1.25.
The 2D ticket is roughly $4.20.

Close enough.

All right, I get ya.. Still, I wish that was the price in the US...

$7.50 2D
Popcorn and drink around $10
$18ish 3D

But, that is due to where I live compared to where you live..

I saw Gintama;
then i jizzed in my pants and...;
thought, wow how awesome.

The end.

$15 here for 3D, no bonuses or specials.

and thats the discount rate for students/pensioners

djisas · Dec 19, 2010

Guys!!
Keep your eyes open for the 2 epic movies that we will get on spring: From Makoto Shinkai comes Hoshi wo ou Kodomo, i have watched a PV, the animation looks a lot like Ghibli and if there is anyone that can deliver what Ghibli can or better, Makoto Shinkai is the only one...
Onigamiden: The director is an experienced man ans was a Key animator for movies like Akira, Steamboy, Metropolis, GITS, etc, looking at an available image containing some landscape samples i say the movie will at least look beyond epic

Also the Steins Gate anime has everything to be the best the season will offer...

They should do a tv out of it, there's enough material and characters...

I ordered BRS BD from japan directly, but thing is i paid 20$ (dirty cheap considering Jpn prices) 30$ for shipment it was expensive but it took a single day to arrive, the thing is my country is asking me to pay 73€ for costumes, besides having already payed 50$ they want me to pay 73€ more!!??
I refused to accept the shipment, it will be sent back to Amazon.jp and they will refund me...

greedy customs
50$ is pretty cheap for a BD
but the 73€ for the customs is just insane.
