D.A.R.E.: Attack on Titan Special Edition. Wink

As to how good of an influence this campaign will have in deterring drug use...well, that remains uncertain.

But the series' focal point revolved around injecting substances.

Perhaps that gives titans even more experience to tell others not to do it.

Heed their words, youth of Japan. Stick to the traditional Asian ways of smoking & drinking yourself blind after a 12 hour workday. Support Japanese businesses & do the right thing too!

While I agree that such a cause is admirable, how effective such programs like this and D.A.R.E. are is hard to say. It's equally important in measuring the success/effectiveness rate.

Do some of the people involved in Titan licensing or this even know what the manga is about? It´s straight out pro drugs!
spoiler[
The Titan are regular humans who inject a drug into their veins that is made out of bone marrow and turns them into the monster who then mostly go crazy but a chosen few can control the process.]

Just look at this cover:

Idiots and since when are drugs an epidemic in Japan? Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue...

This though was a masterpiece but Arrow messed it up badly:

It isn't, but nobody does moral panic about the youth like the Japanese.

I've got to admit. It's kind of unlikely for "Attack on Titan" to help fight drug abuse in Tokyo. If you've seen the series,it doesn't really seem to matter to the Titans if a person is using drugs or not. They just want to eat them.

It's for this reason that the Titans have earned their barbaric reputation.
On top of that, it pretty much validates that "The War on Drugs" is very low on their priority list.

I'm just sitting here thinking "If Armin or Mikasa have something to say, you'd best listen to them." lol

If anything Attack on Titan related told me to jump off a bridge, I would do it. And yes if I were into drugs I would try my best to quit. (But yeah, it would be a different issue for someone who is not a fan) Anime smile
