Not more of this nanny crap! If you can't keep your kids from watching late night shows, then that should reflect on how irresponsible the parent(s) are and not the tv networks.

There are parental settings on electronics for a reason use them.

Perhaps the parents of these children that might accidentally watch obscene anime should do a better job parenting. Put the kid in bed at reasonable times and restrict the content they can view.

But why not just restrict it for everyone, including those who are of the age to be watching these anime shows? After all, one doesn't have to parent for a night when you can force literally everyone else to bend to your will.

I'm picturing Mrs. Lovejoy from the Simpsons yelling "Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!?!?!"

The BPO complained about Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC V? I must have missed something here.

Regarding a late-night anime program, there was extremely obscene content. Because it's an anime work, there is a possibility that children may mistakenly watch it. [The problem] in not limited to this program. I want TV networks and producers to revise their thinking and show restraint with broadcasts of anime programs with content that is too sexually extreme.


Maybe parents should be setting up parental restrictions so that their children don't mistakenly watch it, especially when the complained about content airs at the time that it does.

At least this complaint / comment isn't as stupid as the Mr. Osomatsu one.

Quote:
The parents stated that while the anime airs during a late night block, the program should be more considerate of younger kids that may watch the anime.

Well in the end...They're kids. Many of us would find a way in the end to watch these late night shows. Even after warnings will still be encoruage to keep watching it

I'm totally on the parents side here. If only there was some magical device where your could block certain rated shows from being viewed or even specific shows! Think of the children! Rolling Eyes

To BPO,

Be a dear, educate parents about ratings and hush. It's not rocket science that late night anime save for most Manga Time Kirara adaptations or similar works like Tamayura aren't for kids.

While I think you should know what your child is watching, I say "good" because I despise what these shows stand for.

Mindless entertainment for horny otaku? I don't see much of a problem. 7 Mortal Sins is unintentionally hilarious most of the time.
