| We have plenty of movies on this. Why can't we have an anime as well? Doesn't Japan consider ISIS to be a major threat right now? Why don't they just hop on to the fear mongering band wagon and make an anime about their military forces fending off ISIS. Or maybe they can make one revolving around the lives of 5 ISIS recruits & how their life changed after this one phone call or facebook message. Do you guys think people would watch this? |
| I think Japan suffers less and is affected less than Eastern Europe when it somes to ISIS terrorism, so what's the point of creating fear within the people about Islamic extremists when it is not a problem for them. (For now anyways) |
| OP haven't watched Cat Shit One yet. |

| Remember what happened when the Muslim anime fanbase discovered that the Noragami Argoto composer had used a sample of some Islamic prayer in the song "Push Buttons"? It would only be a matter of time before ISIS tried to attack Japan |

| Anime about Isis, whitewash themselves as victims, Anti-hero, has conflict about killing, the world is villain. Sounds like something edgy teens would love. |

Soooooo basically zootopia with an army theme slapped on it? Also disappointed at the lack of cats..

| Where is muh Isis-Chan CGDCT series? Now that's the reeeeeeeeeal deeeeeeeeeal |
| gone bai bai |
| You got a death wish >.> Japan has possibly no threats to worry about from ISIS. At least the normal community there. And that's why they don't give a shit about them, forget making an anime about it. Why should they waste their time on something that doesn't concern them in the first place! *Slaps @Deago to Mars for finding such an awesome anime* |

ColdBreeze said: Basically this. I'm sure the Japanese are well aware of what the Danish comic artist who drew Mohammed had to go through, as well as other provocative publications like Charlie Hebdo.That would be quite stupid of them. Why would you try so hard to be the next victim? Even if making a series about an Islamic terror group would be very different from a drawing cartoon prophet, it would be near impossible to keep Islam out of it. And the Japs know that it would lead to similar outrage, as Muslims get butthurt about fucking everything Islam-related in entertainment. The animation studios will likely just settle for depicting terrorism and death cults in magical/alternative universe settings like they've done before. |

| We live on an age were people are easily offended by just about anything. If a lot of people currently complain about the pose of a female video game character, the same would apply for this type of movie. |
 |
I thought anime studios couldn't care less about the localisation to other countries. (Hence that's why tsukkomis and festivals are rampant in many anime.) |
| They can't openly attack ISIS because the studio's member may all get killed. It would need to be set in a fantasy world and people would just have to know it was based on ISIS. |

It would only be a matter of time before ISIS tried to attack Japan Interesting fact, this also happened in the original Fire Temple Music in Zelda Ocarnia of Time, Nintendo had to release another version of the game with the song replaced (My version of the game actually has it). There was also a Xbox game called Kakuto Chojin: Back Alley Brutal which was also recalled because it used the same exact chants in a song. There was also a racing game for the Arcade and N64 called Crusn' The World which used yet the same exact chants again in one of the songs but for some reason no one ever got mad at that game. |

| Why would you want something like that??? Smh |
| You know there was a Japanese translator who translated Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" and was murdered by an Islamic extremist for it? This is not the kind of topic Japan would want to touch. |
| I don't know, maybe Japan is hipster enough to not meddle with mainstream thing like religion. |
 |
| Yeah...that doesn't sound like a good idea... |
 NasalShark said: I'd love to squeeze your nipples until they look like a purple slushie, Senpai. |
| As a whole, the concept of this is entirely deplorable and uninteresting. The issues that need be tackled to portray a compelling story in such a story are not fit for the medium, as the medium is best at creating a picture far from reality. Rather than worrying about what an extremist group would do out of retaliation, the real concern would be the distaste and discontent of the fans. No one will want to watch a shitty series about Islam and terrorism in this medium; they can just go watch it on the history channel or something. It's an outright horrendous idea. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| Crap, someone beat me to the punch with Cat Shit One/ Apocalypse Meow. GesuYarou said: Soooooo basically zootopia with an army theme slapped on it? Also disappointed at the lack of cats.. Cat shit #1 is the name of the unit, the reason behind the americans being rabbits instead of cats is because of a Japanese pun, Vietnamese are cats for what is worth. I would argue Cat shit one is more racist than Zootopia too, I mean the Chinese are freaking pandas and the Australians kangaroos. |

Sh0g0Mak1sh1ma said: i dont think anime is the right medium for it, if America isn't making a cartoon about it why would Japan make an anime about it? I think that there are enough anime's as well that depict types of terrorism as well as political themes eg. Zankyou no Terror, Higashi no Eden, Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door, Psycho-Pass Now that someone has mentioned Psycho-Pass, OP should also check this out: |

ISIS isn't really about religion, it's about the potential threat the world might face in the future. I don't think muslims will be offended by some chinese cartoon that condemns terrorism.. 10/10 would watch. I've already contacted one of my buddies at KyoAni, they say they'll be on it right after thy're done with Hibike 2.. |

| @GesuYarou I know that ISIS isn't a religion. But c'mon, we live in a day and age where people get offended by everything. Just this sentence alone it's probably offending like 10 people. So it's better to stay away from controversial topics, such as this. |

Again, how would it be offensive? Ask your muslim friend what they think of ISIS.. Well, the anime would most likely give off an effect to viewers that most muslims are still terrorists. I wonder how emotionally strong they'd have to make the anime in order for people to stop thinking that way. I have asked my muslim friend before and he clearly doesn't support ISIS. I don't think such an anime is needed, anime is already underrated as it is. And as a plus, people are offended by everything and anything... so how do you really think the public would react to such a bold move? It's pretty daring as hell, if I have to say the least. |
