It already has bounds and limits. Stations can't show MA-rated material during the day on public broadcasting. Furthermore, anime TV has always been changing over the years - or haven't ya guys noticed that back in the 90's, shows like Ranma 1/2 could show naked tits on primetime? Maybe ya guys didn't notice because the change didn't affect your enjoyment of it?

That has always been the case. I live 1 minute by foot next to a 7-eleven. All what changed in all 7-eleven now is that they have two "magazine for adults" (成年向け)-cardboard signs at the racks where adult magazines have been displayed before. In other words: Nothing changed. It's now just more difficult to miss that you're standing in front of an "adult" section. Typical seinen manga magazine like Young Jump, Young Magazine & co. have always been put together with other magazines for adults and tabloids for men in convinience stores. They are now due to the cardboards more physically separated from Jump & Shounen Sunday and other Shounen/Shoujo Magazines, but that's really all to it. |

Am I the only one who read all the "may cause", "might ask"...?
Without more evidences, I'd call it the ageless rant "the government will lead us to ruin, ruin I said", sort of. |

So is the source really a sleaze magazine? If so, then why is the story even posted here?

I think it's pretty clear that's not what he meant. Not many shows with explicit material get aired uncensored these days anyway... so if they're announcing their intent to censor more stuff, it's not really a drastic change. |

The ordinance affects anything drawn or animated that is physically distributed in Tokyo. The only exception in the bill are online/digitally distributed materials. It's actually worse if it's found to be "harmful" by OYAPS, since publisher and retailer are punished than it would be if were to be published as porn (aka R18+ / adults-only) to begin with
Well, there's always the online "director's cut" uncensored version 
Actually Sekirei S1 episode 9 aired completely uncensored and Sekirei S2 episode 1 - early premiere version was partially uncensored. Though those are the instances I'm aware of. It seemed like a stunt to promote the DVD/BDs.
actually that was the first thing I noticed in my early anime days venturing past robotech... but then again I also remember seeing J-drama during that time with nudity. And live action is not subject to these kinds of restrictions of bill 156 ironically. I haven't watched any live J-TV in the past few years but I remember even game shows being pretty raunchy...
see: http://2chan.us/wordpress/2011/01/06/it-its-not-like-i-want-to-translate-news4vip-for-you-or-anything/ which I think doesn't make sense at all. Porn is porn. Anything not labeled R18 aka adults-only, is not, and therefore shouldn't be in that section. And Dan mentions
But maybe there's some good news since Ishihara had mentioned being frustrated at how many letters he got from teens over the bill and: "It seems Tokyo City Hall is still in shock about the continued opposition to the bill’s passage and they are trying to figure out how to proceed." |

The infamous bill is an addendum to the law that already restricts live-action.
It's like Hispanic TV - doesn't matter what time of day it is.

as of February The Comics Code is officially dead if you think about it more, this bill is just like it but far more dangerous. atleast though I can't believe I'm saying this but atleast it only regulated Comic Books and the US has separate bs bills for other things but separate not all in one big package.
This bill is just filled of more stupid the times go on...though I knew this going to happen but not this fast...I hate to say I feel bad for the companies getting rid of Pirate versions of anime right at this moment or games for the matter their in full panic mode and you can't really blame em.

The US comic book code has been dead for decades. Unfortunately, so has the US comic industry. When publishers broke away from the code stores stopped selling them. Of course you can still find comics in specialty stores but not in corner stores like one use to. The US comic book code made people think that comics and cartoons were only for kids. This Japanese comic code could do the same with manga and anime. Granted, it will take a while for that to happen but it will have a big impact on the industry. |

If you look carefully nowadays there is a tit galore on TV broadcast anime not found ten years ago (nowadays there is hardly any inuendo, it is a more "in your face" approach), the only difference it that sometimes they attempt to push DVD sales higher by censoring some nipples.

Someone already debunked the other part of this but I seem to recall that it was concluded that 2ch post was staged/shopped. There was too much that didn't add up in both the picture and with what the guy said. |

A post popped up on their grad hiring blog. It basically says "There is no such policy. Anyone who wants to apply should do so." |

The article also said that there currently wasn't such a policy, just that it was something they may do. Emerje |

As weird as that sounds, you could easily get taken out of the application process for an answer like that (or for answering "what interests you in Japan?" with anything related to pop culture) while trying for a job as an English teacher in Japan. For different reasons, though. |
