| I actually was going to say “Prison School” because of the famous bathroom scene, but I thought it was pretty funny and comical. (plus, I love the manga version.) Anyway, what was the most “controversial” anime you watched? |
 |
| i can only think of rape on Sword Art Online and also Now and Then, Here and There has rape too if i remember right inb4 incest and loli anime |
| Controversial in America? Every anime :| Remember they actually changed the relationship dynamics between Uranus and Neptune from lovers to cousins for the American audience... shame on you America. Probably Koi Kaze or Kodomo no Jikan for me. |
 |
| Nee Chanto Shiyou yo for sure. I mean I like the step sister femdom rape hentai but that doesn't mean it isn't a controversial subject material. |

| Gintama... well, at least to me it's controversial |
Edocchi said: Gintama... well, at least to me it's controversial haha. yeah I can see why. I’m kind of shocked more people that I know haven’t watched it yet. I think my friends would love the humor. |
|
| I feel like this thread is just a countdown to someone admitting watching Boku no Pico. I can't think of too many anime with real controversies - Kodomo no Jikan, School Days I guess, or Kokoro Connect (not for content though). Most things people actually should be upset about they don't even know about. I went to a con recently with a massive poster for Euphoria (the game/hentai) in the dealer's hall like it was nothing. |
| Uhh passing over hentai, probably Midori Shoujo Tsubaki. |
| In terms of opinion intensity among those who have an opinion on it, probably Cross Ange or Yosuga no Sora. (I have FranXX on my PTW.) |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |

I guess I just didn’t pay attention to what social media was saying. |

FWIW I think both Cross Ange and Yosuga no Sora are great stories, in their own ways. Also, I forgot to mention Asterisk War. |

| Accel World is also controversial because of fat shaming the MC |
beminim said: I don't know if it is controversial but there are things I have watched that I cannot explain: Tejina senpai. I mean the girl is cute but I don't really watch ecchi shows. Arifureta. I mean it is bad but it is good? Not a fan but I'm having a good time. I hate myself for ever watching junjou Romantica or sekaiichi hatsukoi. Not the kind of LGBT representation I want in anime. Never added them to my list since I barely remember what they were about but : Ero manga sensei That other show that was like Ero manga sensei but with far worse animation And that anime where the sister married her brother in the end. Are you talking about OreImo? What’s funny was that I was gearing up to watch the second season this week. I have to remember to put it on my calendar. |
|
| pretty much any isekai anime since a lot of people cant stand them. |

albertbrown said: Like you I don't remember seeing much controversy over Keijo (if anything there was probably more over Kill La Kill though I was paying even less attention to the anime scene back then, and ironically, now people actually talk about both Keijo and KLK as possibly female-empower/feminist/etc.).Nerdanimefan1992 said: Keijo- triggered ugly fat basement dwellers fujoshi feminists Goblin slayer- triggered ugly fat basement dwellers fujoshi feminists Shield hero- triggered ugly fat basement dwellers fujoshi feminists Eh I starting to see a pattern I’ve seen a lot of GS and Shield Hero, but I don’t remember Keijo being that controversial. I guess I just didn’t pay attention to what social media was saying. Besides, given how the post you quoted reads like bad stereotype bingo, I'm not sure how much I'd trust it. heg said: Accel World is also controversial because of fat shaming the MC heg said: I looked at the cover and I decided that I'd rather watch something that doesn't quite as blatantly portray the main characters as "ugly guy, beautiful girl". The blatantness annoys me.Accel World is also controversial because of fat shaming the MC I mean, if the anime girls can be good-looking even if they're very plain and boring-looking, then I expect the anime guys to be good-looking too, in a similar way. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| @GlennMagusHarvey lol dude looks can be deceiving i may have scored Sword Art Online and Accel World with the same score but i enjoyed Accel World more no joke |
heg said: @GlennMagusHarvey lol dude looks can be deceiving i may have scored Sword Art Online and Accel World with the same score but i enjoyed Accel World more no joke I mean they're not wrong though. That anime does point out multiple times how the male MC is short and fat and how the female MC is "the most beautiful girl in the school". |

| I will say Goblin Slayer for now.There should be others but this comes in my mind. |
 |
| Not sure if controversial, but https://myanimelist.net/anime/160/Ima_Soko_ni_Iru_Boku is probably the most fucked up show I've ever watched. |

heg said: Oh, I certainly do not mean the story is bad. It might very well be quite excellent. Just that there's this one aspect to the visual designs that irks me, even if maybe after I've seen it my opinion may change. And I'm under no obligation to watch anything so any preference is fair game.Fakegoose said: I mean they're not wrong though.

| That would be kodomo no jikan. It's a shame that the story is quite different and better in the manga, but at least it isn't superficial, which is rare and welcomed. |
| I'm not quite sure but Euphoria was something that not everybody could last, if you're not used or if you don't like gore mixed with sex scenes. At least, Boku no Pico can be considered as a practical joke used to prank on anime newbies, but in this case, I have seen so many comments about Euphoria with surprise (if not shocked), uneasiness and/or with a very cringey taste... |
| We are EVERYWHERE... |
| Is has to be either School days which I liked or NGNL which I disliked. |
 |
| Maybe Hellsing Ultimate because they made Alucard, the ruler of Wallachia, a blood thirsty vampire who plays for the protestants. Romanians hate being associated with vampires. I don't care though. |

| I wouldn't even call it controversial but, Carole & Tuesday - The Mermaid Sisters :^D |

Nerdanimefan1992 said: AnimeAnima said: Controversial in America? :| Keijo- triggered ugly fat basement dwellers fujoshi feminists Goblin slayer- triggered ugly fat basement dwellers fujoshi feminists Shield hero- triggered ugly fat basement dwellers fujoshi feminists Eh I starting to see a pattern Yep, its mindboggling. Although I would have to say PC comes in all packages. Sometimes it seems like people expect all things "foreign" to conform to their ideals in the US, and get really bent out of shape when things fly in the face of that. Part of the reason I'm so vehemently opposed to dubbed anime, it destroys the artform by changing essential plot points. I usually dont pay attention to arguments/conversations about specific anime but with shield hero it was all over Twitter and YouTube so I was brought into the convo unwillingly. I still dont understand, and never will, the controversy over Shield Hero, besides it being a letdown towards the end. Goblin slayer? That was an awesome show. Keijo I have not seen yet. What's the controversy? People have to remember these are works of fiction, fiction that only a very very small percentage of the population chooses to watch, even in Japan it's like 5-15% for the most popular shows, shows that people in the west for the most part gloss over(Sazae-San, Doraemon etc.). To those that dont like the way other cultures view society, I suggest you stick to watching the local news. |

| The interesting thing is I hadn't watched many anime from 2018 at all a few months back since I don't watch any of the series when they're currently airing, so I was looking to watch a few more and found Goblin Slayer. I had no idea until reading forum discussions after finishing the series that the first episode was so controversial. Apparently because it was "mislabeled" or mis-rated on Cruncyroll that it didn't give off the impression it would be more a Berserk-style dark fantasy than a PG/PG-13 style classic high fantasy with those grittier elements more sanitized or omitted? Still incredibly dumb. A controversy over nothing. To everyone claiming it "uses rape as a plot device", then just about every anime and non-anime show and movie ever uses "murder as a plot device" or "assault as a plot device" or "theft as a plot device". |
| I've watched many of the animes in this thread and had no idea about the controversies about them |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
Yep, definitely. And Conception. It was insane xD |
| Probably ever single one because there's a group of retards who are so ill-informed anything could be seen as ''controversial'' to them so due to that it will sadly always pop up in the back of my mind There was nothing controversial about the stories of Goblin Slayer and Shield Hero, they were just bad Reminder GoT is the most popular tv show of all time and blows them away in terms of controversial... elements. I try to not look at it like that because anything can be put to good use in a story really |
| poop |
| Easily Shigatsu. The glorification of bullying as a solution to trauma, just because it's done by a cute girl was just about the worst take on the topic I ever saw, but anime fans still ate it up because they only look at the surface and there's good music and cute designs so it has to be good, amirite? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
beminim said: Oreimo is a guilty pleasure for me too, but not so much because of the main couple Kyousuke/Kirino. For their story line, make sure to watch the extras which are both sort of alternative endings doing the full blood related incest monty, whereas the TV version has waters it down. albertbrown said: I think that is the name. The sister has orange hair and her brother has black hair. I think in English it was called my little sister can't be this cute.Are you talking about OreImo? What’s funny was that I was gearing up to watch the second season this week. I have to remember to put it on my calendar. The real reason to watch Oreimo, however, is Kuroneko. This side character is arguably Kana Hanazawa's finest hour. A snippet from the specials of the 2nd season, one of the best scenes in RomCom anime ever. Spoiler warning. |
 |
| Kiss x sis it's another one of the imoutos, I think it's much better than the other ones though especially of how wild it would get borderlying parody at some points which made it even more controversial. And if we had to include hentais I guess euphoria as well, I think there is way worst hentais out there but I guess this one was kind of a first for many |
JoyBoy_316Sep 2, 2019 8:28 AM
| There is no such thing as a "controversial anime". except Boku no Pico |
 |
| Texchnolyze or Berserk, but only if da Hentai is not allowed. Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso or Oreimo, but both are more comedy than anything else so its that controversial imo. |
 |
| does boku no pico count as controversial? otherwise, goblin slayer - not that the content was particularly that controversial, but because there were lots of angry threads about it. |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| 13 reasons why lol jk Watamote was pretty controversial seeing as some people just thought it was depressing, I, for one, think it is a comedic masterpiece. Well, I guess that is because I could relate to it to an incredible degree. Citrus is pretty... morally questionable, too. I really thought it was f ed up. I’m sure many others feel the same. |
| In this order (I would love to see more) Koi Kaze Top secret the Revelation Mouryou no Hako Aoi bungaku Shigurui Rainbow Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin Pupa Cross Ange Everything else is tame and childish in comparison. (some topics and themes if adapted better could have made this list) |
