Topic renamed. The original topic "Anime & Manga Regulation Bill To Pass The Assembly" was denied by DPJ assemblyman. According to Jiji Tsushin, ten major manga publishers announced that they will boycott Tokyo International Anime Fair 2011 (TAF 2011) and asked the anime production companies not to display anime based on the publishers' manga at TAF. Governor Ishihara stated in the press conference that "I don't care. Do boycott as you like." Members of Comic 10 Union Shueisha (Shonen Jump) Kodansha (Shonen Magazine) Shogakukan (Shonen Sunday) Akita Shoten (Shonen Champion) Kadokawa Shoten (Shonen Ace) Shonen Gahosha (Young King Ours) Hakusensha (Hana to Yume, Young Animal) Futabasha (Manga Town) Shinchosha (Comic Bunch) LEED (Comic Ran) The vote on the anime and manga regulation bill will be held on December 15th. Whether the bill will pass the assembly depends on the decision of the ruling party, Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ). Mass media reported that DPJ decided to approve the bill, but Kurishita Zenko, one of the DPJ assemblymen, revealed that half of DPJ assemblymen are still opposing to the bill. The bill excludes novels and live action materials from the scope of the regulation. At the general affairs committee held on December 9th, the counselor Asakawa explained the reason that "Self regulation is properly done in the live action industry. As for novels, the impression varies from person to person. On the other hand, the interpretations of manga and anime are uniform no matter who reads or watches them."

News topic renamed Previous title: Anime and Manga Regulation Bill To Pass The Assembly -> source denied Current title: Ten Manga Publishers To Boycott TAF 2011 I guess someone is releasing false information to make the approval of the bill fait accompli. Information warfare going on. Modified by dtshyk, 12-10-10, 3:01 AM |

These things never pass..they've been trying to ban various things like this and internet related nonsense in various countries for years now and nothing ever passes. It's hilarious how excited people get over this.  |

Bill suspended YES!! NOW we can continue to have more BS and less of the sane stuff!! WOHOOO!! "Droll thing life is—that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself—that comes too late—a crop of unextinguishable regrets." - Joseph Conrad (Heart of Darkness) |
