| Now they have no excuse to keep on doing that "non blood related" cop out in anime. |
 |
| I wonder if they ever review hentai... We all know "juveniles" view it... Then again, maybe it's for the best hentai is brought under review by Japanese officials ;) As far as incest in anime goes, I don't see the problem... If kids are stupid enough to be swayed by anime to bang their sister, those kids, in that sort of mental state, shouldn't have viewed any anime in the first place... Also, this: KingGidora said: Sure, why not? I mean horrible murder (Elfen Lied) and rape (Rinkan Club) is acceptable as long as you clearly say it is bad....Just as these titles clearly stated it. |
| Geez.. what a job to have to watch every fucked up show that gets dreamed up by the Japanese and vote it up or down for the government. But glad to know Yosuga no Sora was recognized as a gem, as it should be. Let the trend toward more wincest anime continue! |
| My dear god, most people here don't even know what the heck they are talking about while being mislead by the title. |

I kinda don't get what you mean??? He's noting that anime with romantic themes between siblings tend to reveal that they are not in fact directly blood related, but are rather siblings in a social/legal, not biological, sense. I.e., maybe the "sister" was another family's daughter, and when her parents died in a car crash she came to live with the brother's family and they were raised as siblings, never knowing the truth until later. That kind of setup has been seen a couple times before. I guess his implication is that anime did this because biological incest was "taboo" while non-biological incest was "acceptable", and the approval of biological incest in YnS makes it okay for other writers to come up with biological incest stories. As for me, I don't think it'll make a lot of difference, nor do I care too much whether it's biological or not. I do agree it can feel like a weak cop-out to build up the whole biological taboo and use that as your story hook, only to go "oh look they're actually not related so it's ok!" at the end. It's a little dishonest to play that game, but I can live with it and it generally doesn't make or break a show. |

They are saying the anime itself is acceptable but not the Incest because the anime did NOT approve Incest. That's not quite the point. The point is that it was acceptable to depict at all, hence other anime could in theory do it too - they just need to play around with the writing enough to say "oh it's not necessarily good" while doing it anyway. But even in that case, YnS is hardly the first, which is why I said I don't think this ruling means much of anything. It was done before and it'll be done again. |

| No, it's not spoiler free below here. Wait, the fact that they accepted the incest is one thing (which is still weird), but the fact that Yosuga no Sora has all those sex scenes (including an incest one) is something they forget. But when I read "Although the section chief of the Youth Affairs concerned about the description of incest in the anime," isn't it that he didn't view it but just read the description? I can leave a lot of things in a description. Also if I remember correctly Haru eventually accepted Sora too. Not that I don't hate this law and the fact that they exposed this show to it, also the music is so good in it. Dalek-baka said: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga_MurderAfter calling "Strike Witches" good example of family entertainment I'm not surprised on the other side this Council is awesome XD like they actually watched the series? getting paid for watching anime - that is something good maybe they have some kind of schedule - on the next meeting they will determine if Madoka endangers youth by exposing them to contact with witches, and one-after it can Death Note be used as a tool of increasing literacy among kids So don't even bring Death Note up.

| To all who thinks that Yosuga no Sora doesn't deserve the approval of the Tokyo Government: Haters gonna hate. At least this means they are smart enough to watch and properly analyze the story of Yosuga no Sora instead of impulsively labeling it as "incest shit". After being one of the highest-selling eroge adaptations yet and getting this approval by the government, I have to say that the anime series' production team did a good job in the series. |

That being said have you ever asked yourself if incest is OK as long as no birth is given? Only for the love and lust of the 2? I know it sounds like not full proof and birth can happen but surely if none does DO WE CARE STILL? Do we care if our population does not have any of those but simple the love of 2 people? I think I can live with that one but the other of birth I would not. |

No it's not just haters hating. It's just the series itself isn't that great. They tried fitting to many girls into 12 episodes. Leading to little character development. Literally a new girl every 2-3 episodes with the first episode being an introduction, the main character is a grade A example of generic besides in the Sora arc(Most of the characters are pretty generic.), the "conflicts" are to simple, easy to read, and finish to quickly. But then I get to fap for about 2 minutes for a nice little sex scene(of course no genitals are shown.) If you think the reason why so many people have mixed feelings about this show is because of incest that isn't exactly why. I easily can look past it and I find that specific arc to be the best arc in the show. The way everything is just crammed in with 12 episodes though left me feeling really unsatisfied. Although I will say when introducing the incest part it should be more "built up on" instead of surprising the viewer. I remember when I was watching it and they showed: But their were just a lot of problems with the show itself, not every one who doesn't like the show thinks "incest shit". Eroge>anime adaption |

Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| ^ Like he said. As much as I enjoyed Yosuga no Sora, the controversial content is not the only problem with this series, the script and the time constraints are also worth of criticize. Weird news if you ask me, though I don´t care much. |

| Ahahaha! Japan never fails to amaze me |
| Well i suppose Yosuga No Sora wasn't TOO extreme |
 |
| Oh man. Love the show but cannot believe it wasn't approved the by gov't. That is surprising. I want to see what else they will approve. |
HYBRID_BEING said: 1. DraconisMarch said: Last time I checked, people invented contraception and adoption. Inbreeding does increase the chance of birth defects, incest - not necessarily.Last time I checked, birth defects never resulted in the greater good of mankind. Also, hypocrisy at it's finest. Heavy drinking and smoking also increases chances of birth defects, but i never heard them to be frowned upon as much. 2. "Because Deity said it's a sin" Not an argument for non-believers (and perhaps believers of faiths which don't deem it abnormal, if there are any) as it doesn't answer the question "Why is it considered sin?" Everyone is free to believe or not believe it. 3. Immoral. Morality is subjected to change with time. Some time ago sex before marriage was considered outrageous. Once forbidden and frowned upon from there on, incest can be accepted again if it won't have any bad effects. Any more reasons why incest is bad? its just that the haters from the Church/Mosque are doing their job . No matter what you say, they won't change their point of view. Its their life, don't bother explaining it to them . |
| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |
| I'm so glad their government recognizes this amazing piece of art. Also, more exposure for Yosuga no Sora so yay! |
Mika_InamoriMay 31, 2012 9:59 PM
| I will admit as from watching the series it does show through the other character how much incest isn't accepted in society. Leaving his sister who doesn't understand the problem. You can tell that the main protagonist does have a difficult time and sees confusion onto what has happened so far as to make it happen or was his sister like this all along. |

| lol, Japanese Government is like Fk it. This is Japan, what can we fking do.... Only in Japan. XD |
