It's just so unfair, man. HT's soundtracks to both Death Note and Kaiji are so superb, but we'll (probably) never hear from him again.

Not even that, Taniuchi is serving 10 years at the least because drugs are such huge deal over here, not to mention it's social suicide as well, no way he finds work afterwards.

But confirmed possession of cheese pizza? A slap on the wrist and a ¥200,000 fine. Insanity

To be fair, two Rurouni Kenshin movies were released in 2021 so they clearly plan on continuing to separate the art from the artist, he most likely is still going to profit from all these works though which is unfortunate.

Meanwhile the real pedo Toriko's author Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi is still making manga.
One thing to keep sex tapes of child pornography, other thing is to have a sex with underage. So Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi is the worst one but no one blames him, but only Kenshin's author.

I'm not "blaming" the guy cause I have never heard of him before. Checked him out now, he made Toriko, which I was maybe planning to read after One Piece. Guess that's out of the question now. Thank you for the information.

The history of Art, Science, Medicine, etc. are littered with Nazis, murderers, rapists, racists and child molesters. But the continued complaints about “not giving Watsuki any money” are pretty pointless at this point. Cannot overcome you disgust at Watsuki’s crime? Understandable. But after 7+ years, it is pretty ridiculous for some people to come to a Kenshin forum and complain about a story about which we are ALL aware of and have made OUR choices about at this point.

if he did weed at work, its bad. understandable. but if he did his work well and had weed at home so what? 10 years?? thats way too much. far worse what rrnk guy did. (cause it essentially leads to more material, and it messes girls up) as far as i know the weed music guy wasnt a drunk, put it that way. https://youtu.be/hWJx6v8ybZc

Can we just stop talking about the whole CP thing? It was five years ago. Watsuki paid his fine and hasn't done anything since. Let's just let it go already.

The last thing I want is a bunch of virtue signaling cancel culture brats keeping this anime from getting on Crunchyroll. If you don't like it, don't watch it, but don't prevent others who want to watch it from doing so.

Japan doesn't really care about child porn and let off those who consume it off with a slap on the wrist, so it makes a ton of sense that they keep sexualizing children in their anime.

The way I see it, it's over. The law in Japan handled it in whatever way they deemed fit to, and the companies have handled it.

Even if I personally hate what he did, I don't feel comfortable forcing my values on another country and the people that live there. Christianity has already been doing that for hundreds of years.

And I especially won't let the whole thing ruin something that was a huge part of my childhood.

That won't do anything because you are still making his works popular.

That actually helps the industry, it's hard to get actual numbers but I've seen estimates saying between 80 to 95 of the total views where from the sum of pirate pages around the globe, personally I've never paid for anime.
If you remove that huge and you are left with those who pay for the streaming, tv, movie or blue ray I'm pretty sure the amount of paying users would also go down because many people would not want to pay for an anime that no one is watching
