No I don't think that they could Ban it, they'd have to find a way to ban all foreign graphic novels or something.
Anyway if they did I'm sure you could still find it on the internet.

well anime video is getting removed on youtube due to license and mangas on online manga sites are getting licensed. so it does make sense if it is actually true

Got to be honest with you, buying the mangas is waste of money. I only read a couple of them, and there's only one I'd even consider buying. But if I were to buy the entire story, It would cost something like $400. (I think) Considering It would take me a week at most to read it all, and I could read a $15 book for 2, I just don't see the value...

However, if they do make the rest of the anime, hell I'll go get a job to buy that anime the whole way through.

I don't really mind, I can still watch it/read it on the internet.
If it's true buy all your mangas while you can lol

Wait I don't get why Funimation would go. They get permission from the companies that produce these animes. They aren't showing them illegally. Heck they are probably making these japanese companies more money considering they are subbing them and distributing the animes to a whole different crowd in other countries. I dunno much about crunchyroll though. They seem to have some distribution rights on certain animes also though.

That doesn't sound legal....they might make some hoops to jump through and stuff...but I don't think they can just outright ban it...maybe the sexually explicit ones?

Well companies are cracking down on licensing and stuff. I don't quite understand your question.
