New Anime Law In Japan (Banning Anime from being sold) There is a new law im hearing about on a anime board that is banning anime to be sold to anyone under 18+ and Well this is the little bit of info i have Does anyone know anymore about this? FAQ Q: This is only sexual stuff, right? A: No. It reads "anything that may hinder the healthy growth of youths by stirring sexual emotions, promoting cruel behaviour, or causing suicidal or criminal tendencies", which is a purposefully ambiguous blanket statement that can pretty much be applied to anything. Even Doraemon could be considered 18+ under this. Q: Elaborate? A: No criminal acts. That means no killing, no stealing, no carrying of weapons, no sharing of bicycles, no smoking/drink
