| So it's a well-known fact that Japan is a fairly lenient country in terms of what violent/risque content they'll put on public television, but some things still manage to surprise me. Even though it was only on the OST my jaw dropped the first time I heard the track on Gurren Lagann's OST which spells out 'he loves my asshole', considering it was aired at a children's timeslot. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was violent enough to get a TV-MA on Adult Swim here...really surprised that got played at 5pm with no complaints. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I mean they did get away with it, but I still think this is a good example: Monster. I mean they would've gotten away with it, if it wasn't for those meddling kids! kamisama751 said: The lyrics of the second opening of death note is just... strange. I mean, it's Maximum the Hormone, it's a pretty well-known band + I don't think Japan really has censorship concerning songs. At least as far as I know. And all the online lyrics say this: HEY HEY! Ningen sanka HEY HEY! Ningen fuan kan HEY HEY! Ningen sanka onorera eien ningen fuan kan I don't see what's wrong with this.... |

| SZS's MC got away with everything, I'd say |
| At first I'm surprised that Gintama is getting away with freaking everything. |

| The fact that Jojo, a manga created in 19 fucking 87 did not get an anime until 2012. That one Stardust Crusaders OVA doesn't count. Don't see how anybody let one of Shonen Jump's biggest manga to be animated-less for how many years. A tragedy really. Would have loved to see Jojo animated in that delicious 80s and 90s style. |

I mean, the OVA looks severely wonky, imagine an entire TV series. *shudders* |

| That really nice boat episode of "School Days". |
| Mrs. Landingham, what's next? |
| if i had to pick something, i'd say it'd have to say the "racist characters" although i know it tends to just be ignorance of other countries and not actual racism |
   |
| I mean they did air Berserk on TV so yeah...thats pretty hardcore. |
 |
| Gundam IBO airing at 5 PM with only one complaint from the BPO for the first season and none for the second season, that would never happen here. Victory Gundam anime being marketed to kids is another one, neither installment is for kids, they're some of the most bloodiest Gundam installments of all. Loli anime with the Olympics approaching, I'd thought they were gone for good but nope, some God is blessing us by either preventing the bad outcome from happening or slowing the process down (most likely the former as doujinshi has been saved twice, once from TPP and second from the Olympics). |

| Um, why has no one mentioned Masou Gauken HxH? That show got away with a LOT. It was borderline porn repeatedly, and even though it was literal garbage (ignore my sarcastic rating) it got a second season as soon as the first ended. THAT SHIT IS NOT OKAY WHERE MY Actually I am season 2???? Or what about Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry??? Nooooooooooo instead of anything we really want we get season 2 of Masou Garbage HxH |
| I dont know where some of here live. but, in my country somewhere in southeast asia, HENTAI was once being aired in tv before since back 2000 to 2007, every 11 pm. |

| Lots of things, but seeing ^^^^^ user brings to mind, 1) The fact that they managed to slip in a less-than-overt JSDF recruitment ad into an entire anime, target audience being otaku. I don't really believe that the GATE anime has any substance beyond this centralized purpose. 2) Also the fact that there is much basis for Japan's fear of the United States as the global, military superpower, which translates to it being some sort of consistently antagonistic force when anime tries to handle globalized issues. Then, there's also the fact that many americans unerringly fail to recognize the connection. |

I think they should have saved the current art style for part V and up |

Especially with the change of 13 pages a chapter to 50. Huh...that's cool but yeah I get your point. I'm honestly surprised that SJ used to be that violent in general back then. I think Toriko might be the only one today that has full on gore but the first few chapters of OPM probably have it beat. |

KinnikuGuy said: They did that because Araki changed his style in Part 4 (as first the designs looked like the ones of Stardust Crusaders, but as DiU progressed, the style became less like Hokuto no Ken and the character design slimmed down a bit, with the series developing a proper style).Speak for yourself lad.

| all the incest and pedophilie references, I think... I mean, almost every anime that have a brother and sister, they put a little hint of incest or at least some inappropriate feelings of one part... and, is so common to put some loli in ecchi scenes, with a lame excuse, like "she looks like a 10 years girl, but actually is supernatural being of hundreds years" ... some writters are even more lazy and just say "she is actually 20 years old... just accept" |
| How about sexualizing an eight-year-old girl in No Game No Life and basically showing her naked? Anime is weird, but I guess we get use to it. |
 |
| If we are surprised at some things anime can get away with, just think of regular non-anime watching people... or those that only watch like 3-4 mainstream shounen anime. They must think this medium is fucked. I'm so bloody desensitised to fanservice by this point, I don't even notice low key fanservice anymore. Also, how the fuck is Aki Sora OVAs labelled an ecchi?? How? I mean I would have been spared from that torture if it was tagged a hentai |

| KyoAni got away with making eight nearly identical episodes in a row, which is probably the most obnoxiously avant-garde way of adapting that part. It's hilarious. |
| Really interesting signature |
| Yosugara no Sora,the incest scene means business |
 |
| Ok, maybe I'm just way to desensitised... but I've seen quite a few mentions of Yosuga no Sora. I'd say that would be my limit, practically full on sex but you can't actually see any of it. It was an interesting watch, albeit disturbing. Also isn't there some scientific explanation about how being separated by birth means they don't pick up each others hormones and recognise each other as siblings or something? |

| How the blue bloody f*ck did Nanoha get away with showing NEKKID NINE-YEAR-OLDS RIGHT AFTER the Child Protection Act of 2003 was passed!? O__________O That's just jaw-dropping. I mean, the nudity isn't detailed or sexual in any way but STILL? How about sexualizing an eight-year-old girl in No Game No Life and basically showing her naked? Shiro is eleven. lol |

| In the edited version of Tenchi Universe for Cartoon Network they left in a picture of Ryouko flipping the bird. Everyone thought it was an accident at first, but they left it in all the reruns. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I'm actually kinda surprised at what they can't show on TV now. Back in the day there was more perversion and nudity allowed than there is now. For example, Miss Machiko was made in the early 80's and is about a teacher who keeps getting sexually harassed/assaulted by her young students and coworkers. They flip her skirt, peek on her in the shower, grab her boobs, etc. But in terms of what's allowed on TV now, I'm not sure how Lance N' Masques ever got shown. That is the most cringe worthy show I have ever seen. A muscular shotacon, a harem made up of girls who couldn't be no older than 10 (with one who is like 5), and the many awkward bath/hot springs scenes are just some of the things that come to mind. |

| The Berserk (2016) how tf did Kentaro let that happen. |
| Excel Saga. Just... I don't even know where to begin. If you've seen the show, you know what I'm talking about. There is way too many things to list here from this show. I'm just going to mention that the last episode is titled "Going too Far" and it has been banned on multiple occasions. So yeah. |
