CATDOLL: Don’t let your children watch anime that has been banned in various countries

Cartoons and the Internet have become an important area for children's self-learning nowadays. The content on the Internet is mixed, not to mention; however, with the internationalization of the Internet, many foreign animation works are spread to China through the Internet, and some animations that are banned or not conducive to children's education and growth are easily watched by them. If you are not careful, unexpected things can easily happen. The country has considered this again and again, and can only ban it. Of course, it is not only China that has removed animations due to bloody violence and other factors. Other countries around the world will also have the same practice. Let's take a look at the animation works that have been removed from the shelves by various countries around the world.

1. Death Note

During the popularity of Death Note in the United States, parents in New Mexico also tried to ban the book from appearing in their school district, but their request was rejected. Russian parents also made similar requests to President Putin.

2. Dragon Ball

In 2009, a county councilman in Wicomico County, Maryland, USA, asked all elementary and middle schools in Maryland to ban the comics because of the pornographic content, especially some scenes involving nudity, sexual innuendo and sexual contact between children and adults (probably the scene where Goku wakes Bulma up). In 1999, a parent reported that the Dragon Ball Z comics he bought for his 4-year-old child at Toys R Us contained soft pornography, and the series was subsequently removed from all stores in the United States.

3. "Manga, 60 Years of Japanese Comics"

This is a book written by Paul Gravitt that describes the 60-year development of Japanese manga, but it was removed from the library shelves in San Bernardino County, California. It turned out that a California parent complained about the content. He said: "The book has several beautiful pictures, but one of them is about giant hamsters having sex, which is not in line with the standards of our community." After that, the book was removed from the library shelves.

4. Welcome to the Sugar Bowl

The vulgar manga "Welcome to the Sugar Bowl" created by Japanese manga artist Yuzupon was considered harmful reading material by the "Tokyo Metropolitan Youth Healthy Development Ordinance" and required to stop selling. Other manga included in the list include Matsuyama Masayuki's "My Wife is an Elementary School Student" and Itosugi Masahiro's "Autumn Sky". During the implementation of the bill, Matsuyama Masayuki and other manga artists received support from Akamatsu Ken and others, but anime works like "Yoshi no Sora" are still considered harmful reading materials.

5. Barefoot Boy

"Barefoot Boy" is a comic book based on the cruel history of World War II. Some schools in Japan have requested to withdraw the book because of its violent scenes. This move is suspected to be out of nationalism. However, some primary and secondary schools in Izumisano City and Matsue City in Osaka have made such a request, believing that the story of "Barefoot Boy" is too one-sided. In general, at least 13 local governments have received requests to withdraw "Barefoot Boy" from schools and libraries.

6. Ultraman

Last year, Malaysia banned the Ultraman comics because the cover description of the comics described Ultraman as "a god-like being who is respected by people", which is a phrase used to describe Allah in Islamic society. The country's Ministry of the Interior said: "Many children who worship Ultraman confuse him with Allah, which damages the faith of Muslim youth." Those who own Ultraman can be sentenced to three years in prison and a fine of $6,100.

7. Pokémon the Movie

After 2001, Saudi Arabia banned the broadcast of the "Pokemon" series in the country and the sale of related games and cards in the region. The authorities believe that the logo on the "Pokemon" cards involves promoting Judaism and encouraging gambling. In addition to confusing people's minds, students will spend a lot of money to buy cards and compete with others in gambling nature.

8. Donald Duck

Reason for being banned in Finland: Donald Duck is not wearing pants!
