hi lee. movies like battle royale and suicide club shouldn’t be blamed for ppl’s actions. (my sensei did tell me about ppl copying the movie ping pong though.) they should be seen from some angles as a comment on society. i like japanese movies/anime w/ death. they bring a beauty to the morbidity.

Well, that might be the way people see things over here. But clearly they're reconsidering their belief in the media's effect on children, considering that they canceled SD's last episode, and, I believe, most of another violent anime "Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni's" second season. Higurashi aired with no problems two seasons or so ago.

Oh, but this didn't occur on all stations. There are still adult timeslots late at night which can air these shows. However, it might mean that anime with more mature content will be progressively moved into later time slots on many stations.

yeah, Higurashi kai did get cancled on a few stations and got late, some of the stations even decided to cancel the anime totally, lucky there is still 2 or 3 stations that airs it ^.^ Although i don't know about school days (since i havn't seen it) although animes like Higurashi noramlly isn't so bloody. i mean you never get to see when tex Keiichi uses his bat to kill someone

Well, I lol'd when I saw Nevada-tan But, I don't have this misconception about Japan. In fact, my understanding may be slightly worse then what it is actually like.
I just love it when white people go to Japan and try to fit in. Even though Japan is hates the US for obvious reasons (I hope), and Korea. They're mad at Korea (Koreans also hate Japan) because they both do the same thing, and blame each other for stealing it
Dance Dance Revolution VS. Pump It Up etc...

i liked the article, perhaps other topics in this area of the dark side of japan i have heard some things rumored about could be illegal dating clubs targeting underage girls, underground sex market, widely accepted gorey/bondage comics, subway gropers idk i cant think of anything else right now but also whats with those girls painted their faces brown is that really a trend???

megaman: if you mean the gyaru subcultures of ganguro, yamanba, banba, etc., yes, it is a trend. Shibuya seems to be the place to be for this subculture.
This article was actually surprising to me, as I haven't heard much of the modern negatives of Japan.

They really shouldn't be airing this stuff on kid's times anyway, it should be after watershed time to prevent any of these problems occuring ^^;

Haveave you heard of 'higurashi no naku koro ni'? It is one of the most distrubing things I have ever encountered. 'school days' is also pretty disturbing, I've read the manga for it and watched the last episode. I really don't see how people can come up with those kinds of things. I hope it wasn't targeted for young children, because some of the ideas were pretty intense.
