| Im worried, that Chinese government might use Liyuu (Keke VA) to force censorship or meddle with LL franchise. |
| ah yes, love live being china's top priority |
 |
| Just because she is half Chinese you think China will have a say in how this is made? Then I suppose all the other foreign girls from the last 3 series have to have a say in how the anime is run. This is the dumbest thing I have heard and very racist. |
| She’s not in the CCP or living in China is she lol? I think Xi has much more important things to worry about, like regulating Chinese tech companies. |
 |
| Nice xenophobia, bro |
| Liyuu lives in China, CCP controls everything their citizens do. Im just worried they might threat they won't let her go to Japan, if company won't agree to do what commies want. |
| Currently, Liyuu is living and working in Japan. When you are the Love Live’s seiyuu, you must live in Japan for your works, shows, events, concerts, etc. Especially with the pandemic, flying between Japan and China all the time is very difficult to do so. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Bro shut up, weird racist |
 |
| OP should go outside and touch some grass. Not everything is a conspiracy. |
| I think, we have to seperate some things, which are put under the big thing "chinese influence and propaganda" First of all: The most propaganda, china does is against her own people. Like most states (western states too) china does try to get a clean image in the world but china hasn't been been appeared to forcibly change much "truths" in media outsider her direct sphere. Does china want to manipulate Love Live? It is an japanese anime. If Love Live would get offensive against chinese people or culture, china will surely raise a complaint. But other case china will not pay much attention for the anime itself. But inside china this is another point: China will ban this anime, if china thinks, this shouldn't be seen by its people. This wouldn't have been the first time that this happens. And do you really thinks, Lantis/Kadokawa etc wants to see Love Live banned in China? Surely not. So they will not risk to give China a reason to ban Love Live. Therefore: China doesn't need to actively manipulate Love Live via Liyuu, if this would be even possible. Simply having the option of censorship in china is enough. And this does not just just hold for Love Live or other anime. Even Hollywood shoot their movies in respect for chinese censorship. |

| Wtf is this? Just what??? |
 |
| Why would the CCP censor the anime while Japanese people (and in this case, creators) already self-censor themselves? The Keke character and her VA were added to please the Chinese anime fan community - which is huge, and Sunrise (company that I know very well for having worked with them for many years) obviously closely monitors every detail of every script of the series so that everything is politically-correct on the Chinese side and so that they get the most return and exposure from the fans without angering anybody, especially not the CCP. Remember that self-censorship is always stronger than censorship. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
C-chann said: Can you try to approach anyone chinese without bias? I think Keke's chinese is cute, and that's what matters right? In case you're racist, I won't rag you for that but AT LEAST don't announce your disdain of chinese in public. I didn't say one bad word about Keke and chinese people in general, my only disdain is for commies, no matter from with country they are. |

| Lol I'm pretty sure Xi boi have other things to do than chase after anime girls of Chinese origin. Not to say that LL is completely non-political. |

But his 50 cent army is another story, they're worse than typical idol antis. If you're worried about some of your spending money going to the Xi Dynasty, skip the discs and merch. Also, pirate the anime if you are watching it legally. |
 |
| I can't tell if you're racist, really afraid of communism, or both. |
 |
| using an anime site to be racist to asians... the irony is out of this world LMAO |
 blockberry creative will pay for its crimes |
| Do you people even know how to read? At what point OP said anything against the character, the seiyuu or chinese people itself? |
Nothing important. Keep scrolling. |
| Whole lot of twitter fag replies in this thread lol |
 |
| The Chinese government is pretty nuts but you're just being straight up racist. There's a line, dude, and you crossed it. Maybe dial it back, ok? |
| Quality Queen. |
| BTW, ppls here defending China... lol In case no one ever watch the news. The OP is worried cause of the recent crack down on Japan VAs that voice act for certain mobile games. The OP isn't a racist. China also banned Hololive (vtuber) due to Hololive respecting Taiwan as a country (in this case, China's being a racist to Taiwan). Winnie the Pooh got banned cause someone that actually liked China memed about China's leader looking like Winnie the Pooh... the Irony, LUUUL As for the game, one of the VA got banned cause she apparently visited a Japanese Shrine without knowing the background of the Shrine, she just wanted to visit a Shrine on that day. But as you know China, they don't care if it was an accident or not, they just outright ban the VA from all of China's media. There are many other not as famous VA, actors and actress that also got banned by China cause of their Belief. ___ ___ ___ Also to the above post. China semi-banned Shaman King, Boku no Hero Academia cause they contained facts that were deemed wrong by China. Other Anime that was banned by China. (some even years after production, and some are world famous) Attack on Titan Deadman Wonderland Death Note Devil May Cry High School DXD Highschool of the Dead Parasyte Shinmai Maou no Testament Sword Art Online Tokyo Ghoul Tokyo Raven Also, somewhat anime, but by US. the animated movie of Mulan was banned by China cause it apparently contained a region where China were said to commit human rights abuse. (which is funny, cause if China wasn't committing anything, they wouldn't have done anything to ban the movie, by banning the movie, it told everyone they're trying to hid something) And not really an anime, but rather a game (tho it does have somewhat of an anime), Monster Hunters the Live Action movie, it contained a line that was apparently pre-approved by the Chinese Government where the Chinese actor said "Chi-knees". The original meaning as said by the director and the Chinese government agreed on was it means Chinese have strong legs and vitality and pride. But apparently after it aired, majority of Chinese people find it offending and China decide to ban the original movie and only re-release a CENSORED version afterwards. ___ ___ ___ I personally don't mind having chinese VAs (or VAs voicing chinese) in anime series. But I do get why some ppls are worried about certain things. |

| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| best unironic thread in a while. to be fair tho they shouldve settled for a taiwanese va to avoid controversy with the ccp just in case. |
 |
| what the hell is PCCh? |
 a wise user of MAL said: Just to clarify, adaptations should absolutely stand on their own |
| who cares. everyone in japanese industries loves chinese money. |
| where did OP say anything regarding Chinese people? clearly he was just talking about the Chinese government so I’m not sure why people are throwing around the term racist/xenophobic by that way I’m indifferent to the topic at hand but I was just confused why people automatically assumed OP was either of those two terms |
 |
| China is already often involved in anime productions. Bilibili is often part of the production committee for anime productions, and it owns a 20% stake in Fun-Media, which owns anime studios: feel., Assez Finaud Fabric., and ZEXCS. In addition, Emon once acquired 51% of Animation Studio Artland (established after a company split from the original Artland, which in itself was absorbed by Marvelous a few years later), though it transferred its 51% stake in Artland a year later, to sub-contracting studio LEVELS, due to the deal not panning out as expected. |
