TIMIOCATO (PPA) - Members of Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favour of a total ban on all forms of Japanese media, as well as on anime, a Japanese artform and manga, Japanese comic books inside Pacitalia's sovereign boundaries.

Paulina Cessaniti, the Agustinate of Culture and Heritage, introduced the bill today to raucous cheers and applause in the one-hundred-and-twenty-seat Caza della Legislatorio Parlemento.

"This artform is not only disturbing, it has led to a proven increase in unlawful sexual deviance and crime in Pacitalia," Signora Cessaniti said as she read the contents of her legislation package today. "Our citizens see rape and carnal acts of intercourse, serious destructions of human rights and twisted storylines in these so-called artworks and think that the actions of these characters can be related to real life."

The honourable Signora Cessaniti then referred to a case of rape three days ago where a 22-year-old male forced a woman two years his junior to have sexual intercourse with him. When arrested, he explained to police he was just acting out what he had seen the previous night on "Takahashi Kuro Sushi Master", a popular anime television program.

Another related case of criminal behaviour stemming from anime and manga occurred in 2001. A 14-year-old female shot her 12-year-old sister execution style with her father's pistol. She also argued she had just been acting out something she had seen on an anime show.

"It doesn't matter whether you're acting it out or not, you still did it," says Cessaniti. "What matters is that anime is morally wrong and we are doing our best to keep our people safe from this ridiculous waste of paper, film and man hours."

The ban goes into effect immediately. Army men are going door-to-door to rid households of the materials. The nation will be searched high and low for this disturbing artform, then all things related to it will be burned in an incinerator.

In related news, 211 Japanese tourists committed suicide in a Timiocato square to protest the actions by the government. Their bodies will be added to the incinerator.

OOC:

Wow, I just don't know what to say.
This doesn't reflect your real life views on anime and the like does it?
Anime and Manga are cool... :(

Yes IRL it does too. I'm actually thinking of starting an Anime Haters Club at school. ;)

We welcome Pacitalia, the latest nation to join the ranks of the anti-anime nations and invite them to our annual ceremony in which we burn and melt copies of this garbage which we confiscate each year from travelers and a few sickkos in our country.

OOC:

Damn, well that sucks...
What do you hate about it? I get the feeling that you're going to say "Everything!!!"...

IC:

The R.O.K. is offering to take all Japanese media out of Pacitalia, rather than watch it all go to waste. Transport can be provided so Pacitalia will not even have to think about getting rid of it, we'll do it for you.

OOC: Yes, everything. The characters, the ideas, the storylines, the artwork.. gives me a migraine.

This is a nice gesture by Kyanges, and we thank you for your interest in saving this art, but we'd rather rid the world of anime and manga. And since we do not believe in forcing other nations to do what we do, we'll just do it inside our own borders and be done with it.Paulina Cessaniti

Riiight... All those tourists were so outraged they just up and decided to protest by killing themselves. And I'm sure there were no government officials with automatic weapons anywhere near the scene ;)

Too much of the mainstream stuff today is garbage. Try reading the "classics," like Ranma 1/2 (really good if you have an open mind, and no killing or sex). Love Hina is also really good, if a bit suggestive in a playful (but most romantic comedies are).

There are also plenty of good anime. The Gundam series is a staple, but you have to be careful not to watch the stupid ones. "8th MS Team," "0083 Stardust Memory," and "War in the Pocket" are my personal favorites. "Trigun" is an action-packed tale about a gunslinger who doesn't kill, and often goes entire episodes without even firing his gun. "Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust" (Bloodlust is not to be confused with the original "D") is a visually stunning movie about a half-vampire who hunts his full-blooded (excuse the pun) brethren. D is unlike most other vampires in that he is a truly good guy, and struggles to maintain some humanity.

The good stuff is out there, and if you want any more info, just TG me.

OOC: Yeah, I know of all those. But it would also help greatly if I didn't have twin friends that spent every waking hour talking about anime and manga. ;)

Anime is boring to me, its just..too kiddish.

Hehe i know what you shoulda put in this thread.


A 14 year old male sliced his penis off, and replaced it with 8 legs of an Ocotopus, in order to recreate "Tentacles" As the boy put it

A 18 year old male raped a 12 year old girl, however was not using his penis, but instead was sending a 10 foot anaconda into her vaginal area.

(OOC: A fellow Gundam fan. I would support the watching/reading of Ranma 1/2 and certain Gundam series (0083 and 0080 as stated) as well as Neon Genesis Evangelion which tends to be a mixed, at times being comedic while at other times being rather deep. Same with Trigun. If you're seriously against it I ask you atleast give it one more try. Anime isn't simply the childish stuff you see on Cartoon Network.)

Not all of the anime is that kiddish. But judging by what you've typed, it seems that you don't need any further explanations on just how far "not too kiddsh" can go in anime...

Anime is a style of animated entertainment most commonly produced in Japan. Unlike animated productions in "Western" nations, anime is not just for children. It has many genres, themes, etc. making it more similar to our live-action television programming than to "cartoons." Also like our TV shows, some anime is good and some anime is crap. In the experience of New Exodus arts critics, good anime is exceptionally enjoyable, while bad anime is often terrible.

Edit: Geez, I knew I was forgetting something. "Neon Genesis Evangelion" is about as good as it gets for Sci-fi/action/drama/horror/etc. Not to mention it will make you ask yourself some hard questions.

Also, a major stigma with anime is that many Westerners automatically associate it with either children's cartoons, or with hentai (anime porn). This would be like saying that all live-action television is either childish beacuse you only watched "Lizzie McGuire," or that all is pornographic because you tuned in to the Playboy channel.

"And in other news today, the Edolian Ministry of Pornography announced today that its High Risk division was beginning plans to open up pornography websites targetted to the people of Pacitalia. The new manager in charge of Pacitalian operations gave a brief statement to the press.”

‘I’m really excited about this project. For one, we’re really going to be able to give the new Shaky Services a test-run. We’ve installed a number of different safeguards that program these things to try to unblock themselves, as well as shift their urls and IP addresses. This means that blocking one of our sites, or keeping it blocked for long, would be a difficult job. But the really great thing about this is that we’re expanding our operations into an entirely new field: Although we are setting up some porno sites targeted to Pacitalians, we’re also going to be working with illicit materials, in this case anime. We’ve realized that there is a lot of money to be made by tapping into the desires of the millions of Pacitalians who are now deprived of their favorite form of art. We’re keeping it simple, so that with a simple and fully secure credit card payment, you can download all the anime and manga you could want. We’re going to be doing these people a service and making money.'

<<OOC: I'm wondering if this is going to turn into an OOC argument about the pros and cons of anime or if there will actually be an interesting RP. I personally couldn't care less what people think of anime in real life, but Edölia never misses the chance to make money at the expense of right-wingers. Let's have some fun with this, hmmm?>>

IC:

We commend the people of Edolia. Pornography is tolerated in Pacitalia already, we have no problems with your actions. Our philosophy is that it's better that the crazies get their jollies there than by raping somebody. ANd since the anime lovers don't get their jollies from porno, it seems a select few turn to rape. Which is why anime is hereby banned. However, if you wish to lure my citizens into illegal activities, knock yourself out. Be prepared to pay the economic consequences, though.Timothy Ell

Message from the Syranese government:

While the Rosa Administration honors the Pacitalian decision, it is greatly disturbed and offended by the obvious abridgment of free speech caused by this senseless ban. President Rosa said this earlier in the day.

"Well, if you're going to ban something just because you consider it mindless crap, then why stop with anime? No offense, but if that's their goal, they should ban all television and movies, the live action ones. Most of them have the same level of content, as well as the same stupidity. And the gems are just as rare. I mean, get real!"

The President muttered for a good hour afterward, before watching several episodes of one of his favorite animes, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and began to debate with himself on the meaning of life afterward.

The Rosa Administration has taken this action of Pacitilia with alarm. Breaking down freedom of speech is the first sign of tyranny, it said in its official report on the matter.

When asked about whether pulling Syranese troops out of Pacitilia was an option for this action, Syranese officials said this.

"We are not going to begin pulling out troops for this event. In fact we were planning to increase troops in the region. However, we shall postpone such increases until they are deemed necessarry now."

While I respect and understand your position on this matter, I have to again press that this is to protect the general population from the many examples of violence stemming from this Japanese medium. I thank you for bringing up the point whether we should ban all media, but for all other forms of media, violence stemming from it is not a problem.Timothy Ell
Prime Minister of Pacitalia

If your afraid of violence in the media, then why don't you burn hollywood? or ban violent American films?

Ab-shalom and greetings.

In view of your new status, Vastiva offers to aid in the deportation of all your manga artists. We have lots of very cold land with absolutely no art supplies to be found which would suit a prison camp very well.

OOC: I loathe anime as well, literally all of it bar one, a little gem called "Blood" that tells a story a vampiric female protagonist who is hired by the U.S goverment to hunt down some vampires during the vietnam war in Japan, my details are a little sketchy but it's a horror anime that actually works, no bullshit happy endings, none of that "OMG! VEIN IN FOREHEAD!" and certainly none of that immature falling over...

IC: Kriegorgrad condones this action in the greatest way possible, we are eternally glad that another nation has cleansed itself of the filth that infests peoples' minds, people soon start thinking that because someone in "Gundam Wing" can survive a 100 foot drop from a "mecha," they can survive it as well.

The brief period in which "Gundam Wing" was allowed to be seen in Kriegorgrad led to a huge increase in fatalities and broken legs.

Except from Edölia Today with Lüret Sun
”The Ministry of Pornography’s High Risk division officially opened up its Pacitalian export office today, pledging that, within a few years, the market for illicit hentai, manga and anime would be fully under the control of Edolian exporters. The division is attempting to combine on-the-ground agents and sophisticated servers to keep the Pacitalian government from keeping the websites fully blocked. The division did not comment specifically on how the websites would be advertised, but mentioned that a number of different means were being explored including Pacitalians friendly to the mission and Edolian field agents.”

"Upper Xen comdemns this manuever. We don't usually do random condemnations, but as an anime fan, I personally am offended by this act. What do you have against anime anyway? I think the head of Pacitalia has just been watching all of the bad animes.......there are animes that are not porn or odes to ultraviolence, such as Spirited Away or Totoro, and definetly 'My Neighbors the Yamadas.' Anime itself was derived from American comics after World War II, and has been tempered with layers of Japanese culture and art, perhaps making it incomprehensible to other people, but perfectly fine with others. But that does not entail its destruction. Sir, there is something wrong with you. We will ask the Zhang-Sakura Consortium to begin making more anime in response.

News at The Holy republic

STUDENTS PROTEST AGAINST PACITALIA'S ANTI JAPANESE MEDIA POLICIES

Today over 1000000 students and art lovers alike gathered to protest Pacitalia's Media ban. "It upsets me, first Japanesese media is banned then what will happen next? Deportation or imprisonment of Japanese?" Said Famous Art Critic Gongini Guzzepis. Pacitalia's leader recently declared that all forms of anime, manga and Japanese media forms are to be burned and banned within his country. Already some nation have supported their actions. However President Gyrobot the 13th have disagreed and desires to see action taken against Pacitalia and to help the people who artwork have been forbidden by the government. "I am also an anime fan myself, not only for the entertainment but because I disapprove of cultural suppression it as long term will create racism." Currently The Holy Republic is granting citizenship to any Pacitalia's anime fans or artist as an attempt to increase the economy and improve divertsity among its people.

The Roycelandian Asian Films & Entertainment Act sets out certain legal requirements in relation to Hong Kong Action Films, Anime, Manga, and most other Asian films and enterainment works.

- All Hong Kong Action/Martial Arts films MUST be dubbed into English in such a way that the dubbing does not match up with the actor's mouths or facial expressions all the time (a la Kung Pow: Enter The Fist

- All Manga MUST feature at least one gratuitious Lesbian Sex scene involving a variety of interesting "adult toys", or, alternatively, a Motorbike Chase with lots of random explosions and gunfire.

-All Anime MUST feature at least one scene in which a giant Robot levels Tokyo, preferably with lasers and/or fire breathing. In the event of a Giant Robot not being in the story somewhere, Godzilla (or any other Radioactive Monster) may be substituted

- All Anime, Manga, and Asian Films MUST feature Bullet Time, a Gun Fight, or, if appropriate, a Sword Fight

- All Anime, Manga, and Asian Films MUST "Make Sense"- ie, no strange confusing plots that make no sense, no weird editing, and so on.

Other than that, Roycelandian Citizens can watch Anime, Manga, and Asian Films to their heart's content...

The people of New Exodus urge the government of Roycelandia to change this requirement, for it prevents the viewing of "FLCL," "Excel Saga," "Akira," "Puni Puni Poemi," ... nevermind.

Dude you never understood the endings to any of those? Damn man I did.

OOC: I like FLCL so much more than Excel Saga, Excel Saga is JUST screwed up. X_x

That was the Point of Excel Saga.

I don't really know, but I think it was just an anime parody. It had no plot whatsoever. Although, I know it made fun of Tenchi Muyo, Love Hina, and Lupin. That in this respect, made it funny.

Is this an attempt to declare war against our nation? We are simply offering free citizenship to any Anime Artist living in either Pacitalia or the Sixth Reich before they wind up in Jails for their way of art. What next Mr.Culture Banner? Ban any form of art that does not glorify you?

OOC:

Oh, Excel, Excel, Excel... :rolleyes:

Yeah, I like FLCL a lot, but it still can't catch up to Trigun. I don't think there was a hidden plot...although there could be. I think FLCL can be interpreted into many views and I believe thats what its meant by hidden plot.

Yeah, I like FLCL a lot, but it still can't catch up to Trigun. I don't think there was a hidden plot...although there could be. I think FLCL can be interpreted into many views and I believe thats what its meant by hidden plot.

OOC:

Yes, I agree with you there, like anything else, it can be interpreted many different ways. The way I was told though, made it seem as if there was sort of intentional hidden plot, or some underlying message. But meh, while I feel that theres a message there, (Other than avoid maniacal bass guitar wielding alien girls, lol) I think that person who told me about the plot thing was jsut joking around though.

It is frustrating to know that some nations think we intend to jail the makers of anime. We don't. We only intend to destroy their art and tell them to go find something else to do. Hardly a crime against humanity. Get your facts straight before you accuse one of the freest nations in the world of crimes against humanity.

To the complete IMBECILES who run Advent Nebula: if you ever call me a tyrant again, you will feel the wrath faster than you can say ass-probe. Shut your traps, NOW. And learn to spell. It's tyrant, not tyrent. I'm so excited for my drug-despising, anime-hating citizens who supposedly want to escape one of the world's most libertarian democracies for a rogue dictatorship such as yours.Timothy Ell

My Nation has some of the greatest civil rights in the world. The people here love it as well.

Is this an attempt to declare war against our nation? We are simply offering free citizenship to any Anime Artist living in either Pacitalia or the Sixth Reich before they wind up in Jails for their way of art. What next Mr.Culture Banner? Ban any form of art that does not glorify you?

OOC: Yea, sure. Go ahead. It's useless as your currently EMBARGOED, which means in our country that travel to Gyrobot is illegial, and nobody knows what "Anime" is, because 0% of our population comes from Japan.

OOC: I'm not actually going to attack you; that was a bluff ;)

How can you not like anime, those big eyed girls are cute.

OK, so Japanese culture is a bit different, but what you have to remember is that there are all types of anime in Japan from kiddy shows to porno, and everything in between. Animation is a very popular form of entertainment in Japan.

Be it known that the Japanese have a very different view of human nudity than in most of the west. There are series that are marketed to teens in Japan that have a lot of nudity and racy situations by western standards. If you're a parent it would be a good idea to view a few episodes before letting the kids watch it.

They are really great lately in some very good Science Fiction. Any "Last Exile" fans out there?

OOC: Last Exile's ending sucked as bad as the ending to Escaflonie.

I call upon all nations to combat the spread of undead forces, specifically the vampiric menace being organized by the nation of Advent Nebula.

Moreover, I urge all nations, when faced by the bloodsuckers, to call upon the famous vampire hunters: D (Vampire Hunter D), Miyu (Vampire Princess Miyu), Yohko (Demon Hunter Yohko), Saya (Blood: the Last Vamprie), Alucard (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night), and the Belmont Family (Castlevania). Oh, and that other guy, Van something-or-other...;)

OOC: Hmm...Last Exile was ok. I didn't really see all of it though.

The Republic of Pacitalia will send back home the Hiroshikian ambassador, Ryusen Hikawa. He may feel free to return once ties with Hiroshiko are mended. We also request that you send our ambassador to your nation home as well. The Hiroshikian embassy in Pacitalia will continue to operate during this period.Vasiliou Bandanaris

Though we see the movement in Pacitalia as an offense to our nation, we will not go to war over such trivial matters. Hiroshiko respects the wishes of Pacitalia. If anime must be banned there, then so be it.

The Soverign Nation of Hiroshiko recognizes the needs of the Pacitalian government. We will send your ambassador home as well. Because you have allowed our embassy to normally function, even under this condition, we will let the Pacitalian embassy to stay open. It is unfortunate that our ties have been severed by this controversial issue, but we are in favor of mending our ties to the fullest.

Our Nation uses Mecha in battle buddy.

A a nation of self-aware robots, we protest the use of advanced war-machines, without an equal number of meat-sacks to crush under there armored feet.

Future or Modern tech? ^_^

Dunno where busters would fall...

(OOC) I play it as near-future teck, 100 or so years ahead of ours.

-OOC-
Oh yeah. 21XX/22XX...

EDIT: Okay, and judging by your edit, you seem to be Mavericks... Interested in renders and stats for a Death Rogumer class?

(OOC) Sorry about that, I had my main and my alt messed up, my main (Kitesfear) started as maveic hunters, and my alt (Reploid Rebelion) is quight blatently maveric. this causes some tension in the region they are both in. As for the Death Rogumer, we are very happy with our current forces, and our sun skimming little hell-hole of a planet.

Bump!

(OOC: Let's not turn this into an anime characters war, PLEASE.)

To late I think.

To: Prime Minister Wolfwood
From: Prime Minister Timothy Ell

I am happy that you wish to remain in good terms with Pacitalia. We certainly wish to keep a strong relationship with your great nation, and were saddened to learn of these sanctions on Japanese media leading to your breaking of ties. Thank you for keeping our embassy there open as a sign of your openness to restore ties, and in response to Pacitalia permitting your embassy to remain in regular operation status. I hope we can work this out quickly and peacefully.
