| According to AT-X channel, the airing of Gintama' episode 232 on the channel was canceled in response to the request by TV Tokyo, one of the producers of the anime. The episode was aired on TV Tokyo on October 31st. Director Takamatsu Shinji tweeted that the episode was repeatedly rejected by TV Tokyo due to the inappropriate contents of the episode and the program data of the episode was submitted to the TV channel on the airing day. Takamatsu said "If Gintama anime cannot remain to be 'Gintama', we should rather stop airing it on TV than air something not 'Gintama'. I believe such a day won't come." In the episode, they have joked Renho, one of the Cabinet ministers, and Ad Council Japan. Sources: AT-X, Takamatsu's tweet Update Nov 14th TV Tokyo replied to the inquiry of an online media that the airing of the episode was canceled because there was a description which can be associated with a specific person. They refused to answer if there was a protest from the person. Source: Tanteifile.com Update Nov 18th Takamatsu Shinji tweeted that TV Tokyo decided to cancel the airing on its own and nobody has protested against the contents.

| lolwut banning my Gintama? But at least I watched the episode the day it aired so I don't really care. |
 |
| What? blasphemy!!! ... the episode was repeatedly rejected by TV Tokyo due to the inappropriate contents of the episode ... the eps before that were full of literally flying d*cks... |
| XD they don't give a damn about flying d**ks or s**t, just don't joke about the politicians XD Really, now, it's not like its a first time. stop complaining about Gintama and let it do what it does best - troll everything :D |
| realy polititions are all walking jokes weasel talkers the lot of em only in the position to screw us all over and live a cushy life i cant believe it would get banned for airing for such a thing im glad its not like that here |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
| Aww.. why? Gintama's too awesome to handle? |
  |
| Butthurt. |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| Nooo anything but my Gintama :P |
 |
| All I got to say is... lol |
  |
| They just can't handle the awesomeness. |
| i don't like seeing the words "gintama" and "ban" together, so let's avoid topics like these from now on. |
| LOL BGnoize said: What? blasphemy!!! ... the episode was repeatedly rejected by TV Tokyo due to the inappropriate contents of the episode ... the eps before that were full of literally flying d*cks... LOL who care about those fatcats anyway just do ur thing Gintama you have the whole fan behind u. |
| In soviet Japan, politicians ban Gintama. |
| If this was in America it would be business as usual. US Politicians are ridiculed everyday in late night TV such as Letterman, Craig Ferguson and Leno. A little harsh Japan, you need humor to survive in this cruel world. |
 |
| so.. the Renho Federation is less appropriate than a granny talking about sucking d*cks =/ hahah.. guessin the next episode should be interesting2.. |
 |
| stupid politicians.. they don't know what parody means -_- |

| Gintama = the perfect troll episode was most likely too true. :D |
| A shame they didn't ban the whole show, |
 |
| Making fun of public figures in bannable now? I'm glad its not like that in America. |
 |
| I saw "inappropriate" and stopped reading to see how it could more "inappropriate" than usual and thought that maybe some of the sexual stuff at the end was the cause only to find out it was making fun of a politician ?! Someone can't take a joke. |
  |
| Didn't they do nothing but joke about Renho for like 80% of the episode on Ep 230? Wonder why they bring this up now. |
| Honestly though, the portrayal isn't very flattering. I thought that Renho was a dude the whole time until I looked her up on Wikipedia afterwards |
|
| Fumiko's forest down there is fine, but the one on Renho's head is absolutely terrible. |
| Oh wow, so Gintama is basically the Japanese Family Guy or South Park now? ^^ |
 |
| you can do anything but joke about politicians...haha ok |
| Hm, what? Gintama is nonsense, anything goes! How dare they. However this reminds me I have some catch up to do.. oops. |
| Gintama' has 232 episodes? I'm lost, now. |
| ^ That includes the first series with 201 eps. Current series (Gintama') has already aired 32 eps as of now and ep 31 is the episode this topic is referring to. |

| LMAO dtshyk said: In the episode, they have joked Renho, one of the Cabinet ministers, and Ad Council Japan. ... But wait @_@ it's funny as hell and all, but they cant ban Gintama! cmon. |
 |
| That decision it's pretty stupid, you know!!!! |
 |
| wow seriously =.= lol |
 |
| Actually, because of this old man...! |
| It might be me but, what i got from first post is that the episode was repeatedly rejected by TV Tokyo but was aired on 31th October yet banned on AT-X due to a request by TV Tokyo. Topic title says something else though. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| They can't handle the awesomeness of Gintama >:D |
 |
| Haha what the hell lol |
| obviously the target audience won't think much it, it's a joke. The rest take anime way too seriously |
