| Nah,I think anime will never get banned inside or outside of Japan entirely. Yes, I will watch |
 For your Information: |
| We did it, ofc we was continuing this journey until One Piece be discovered LMAO |
 |
| I already watch it illegally so why the fuck not |
| Korean people managed to get their hands on anime back in the 80s when japanese entertainment was illegal so I'm sure that now with everyone having an internet connection the ban is gonna be even less effective. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| Well, unless the world decides to follow China's or North Korea's level of Internet censorship, we should be fine. |
| Yes I will still watch it because I use both legal and illegal websites to watch anime now. |
 |
| I doubt the day will come when all Anime is ever banned outside of Japan. With that said, there are trends going on even today in the world preventing certain Anime franchise to reach certain countries. In 2020 Australia has already banned all adult Anime products which includes titles like "S.A.O.", "Goblin Slayer", and "No Game No Life", as well as dozens of other popular franchises. Reason for this was to stop illegal pornography in the country. Their government legislature also believes adult anime contributes to sexual deviancy without any real facts or data to justify it. I also read a few places it had something to do with stopping child abuse. This is a trend that has been moving forward in other extremely conservative Nations where the availability of certain titles even now are dependent on where exactly you live. Even recently in the United state, Republican law makers have tried a few times to sneak in nongermane amendments to appropriation bills that would basically ban any Anime that wasn't appropriate for teens in the United Sates. How and who would decide what anime would be appropriate or not would still be up for debate. Thankfully none of them ever made it to the floor even for a vote. But the more conservative nations are becoming around the world I can slowly see this trend happening more often since it's already happened in place like Australia. |

| I'm pretty sure I'm going to watch anime even if it becomes illegal outside of Japan. |
 |
| Yeah of course I will. Almost everything I download or watch nowadays is pirated, so why not lol. |
| "If anime becomes illegal outside of Japan" Since anime is not that one thing but a million different things, this is practically impossible. |
| Is that even a question? Yes, who wouldn't? |
 |
| I am already watching it via illegal sites, is there any difference? |
 |
| welp, I'm a law-abiding vampire so ig i wouldn't be watching anime anymore |
 |
| With how the world has been going you think banning anime is a real possibility? Must suck to live in China or Myanmar... my condolences... |
 |
| It depends on how illegal - if I can really go to jail for it then I would stop watching. I have seen enough. :) |
| Yes, I'll literally move to japan if there's no other option |
| yes, I doubt it would be heavily reinforced anyways |
 |
| Things that are more likely to happen: - World War 3 - Robot uprising - Bezos colonizing Mars - America becoming Socialist - Joe Rogan running for president - Hollywood stops doing remakes and sequels Seriously, it's a stupid question. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| yeah, ofc I would still watch anime. |
 |
| I will still watch anime because I'm already a pirate |
| I don't think they'd do that, considering the amount of profit they've gained from just the Western audiences. Even if people watch from illegal websites, they still earn from selling merch, especially anime figurines, which a lot of people collect nowadays. |
| no more forum pic. that's it. |
| Yeah, I'm already pirating it which is illegal. Police here doesn't do shit, they're too busy being dysfunctional to care about this stuff |
 |
| Yeah I will still continue to watch it and sail the seven seas. |
  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| You mean if we lost all of the legal sites and only pirating was an option? That wouldn't change my behaviour at all. I already pirate almost all of my anime. |
  |
| Well, of course. Is that even a question? |
 |
| yep i mean there is no way they can find out 😏 |
| Indeed. And I will try and not be stopped |
 ManWild |
| It doesn't affect me, so I guess I watch anime as normal. |

| why are you people replying to this removed user? doesnt make sense if the thread is still alive the OP is dead |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Well theoretically it already is if you pirate but come on who's gonna enforce it? |

"Eromanga Sensei" might have passed with a MA15+ rating but none of the titles I have listed above have passed their ridiculous Classification board. It will be interesting to see how long Australia will allow Funimation app to continue to air specific titles that have been banned by name in their country. Because technically what they are doing is not legal anymore. You can't buy any "S.A.O.", "Goblin Slayer", or "No Game No Life" merch that has been imported into the country. They pulled all this merch off the market back in August 2020 within the entire country. This certainly includes DVDs and Blu Ray copies of these Anime Series. This is just the start, because over a dozen other franchises are not even bothering to export products out of Japan to Australia due to their new strict laws. Multiple more series will continue to be excluded from Australian audiences as time goes by. What will be interesting to see is how they plan to skirt around airing Season 2 of "Goblin Slayer" this year to Australian audiences since this franchise has been outright banned by name in their country. |

| I already pirate anime, so hell yea! |
| Gintoki and Sugita's birthdays are 1 day apart. |
| Well by illegal if you mean the piracy law start the death penalty or something then obviously it will become a very hot debate for the revolution but if illegal means certain anime getting banned due to controversy, in both cases i might watch it as these days i am reading more. |
| 2025 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
| Maybe, but I'd certainly be a bit discouraged as well as very confused. |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| was porn ban able to stop the honri me ? no .. so why would it stop the weeb me |
