This reminds me a lot of the San Fransisco law that recently passed that states that fast food restaurants can't sell toys in meals that are suitably unhealthy (aka, McDonalds Happy Meals), parents need to stop asking the government to regulate their kids just because they don't feel like keeping an eye on them themselves. :I

I wonder if there's a communist equivalent of Godwin's Law. :P

Hmm...
Reading that whole thing closely, it seems that these "obscene" manga etc. aren't outright banned, but simply not sold to minors. While that may unfortunately affect the youth in Japan, isn't it pretty unlikely that we'll notice anything of that? Because, after all, manga scans will be available nonetheless; they simply will be provided by adults only :P
So, do we need to worry at all?

(I agree that the law is non-sense nonetheless, I just doubt that we'll feel the impact)
If  ;), :D, ;D, ::), :P, :-X, :o or >:D are attached, that paragraph may not be 100% serious. Seriously.

It's actually Godwin's Law in effect, since I was quoting Hitler :P

Callid's right about this law limiting availability, not banning but I believe we all agree that that law is fundamentally wrong.

So we just have to wait and see what'll happen.
I mean if they only are affected in Tokyo and nowhere else well... I think that some people may leave :D
We have to see. I was a shock and I wasn't able to do anything today because of that damn thing!
Now I cooled down :) And maybe ... just maybe there is hope they that shit will be cancled :P
Yeah it's pure nonsense of course. I think it's the parents responsibility to watch what  their children are doing. No the law .. not the state not the teacher. Simply and only the parents. Okay the part about teachers have to been seen different when children are at school :P

Let's wait and drink some tea. Tea is always good to calm everybody down. Does anyone want some cookies ?

You guys wanna know something EXTREMELY hypocritical about this?

The guy who wanted the law pass, the Governor of Tokyo, wrote a racy book about threesomes in 1955.

He also called people who read anime and manga 'something wrong with their DNA, and completely stupid"
Why? You never win the cursed war.

That just pisses me off!!! Just because I am a otaku doesn't mean somethings wrong with my DNA ad inelegance isn't effected by things like that! How is this moron a governor, if he thinks things like that! Just plan stupid. I don't think he even understands how DNA works! I demand a new governor for the country I don't even live in! :P
