Why stop at Berserk? I think what we all really want to know is what they'd make of Kodomo no Jikan and Kis x Sis

Yes, we can clearly see the result of that. Teenagers in Japan are not very interessted in sex at all compared to other parts of the world. We can all safely draw the concllusion that this isn't a problem at all, so you can't pretend that anime is harmful.

I seem to recall, somewhere in the SMC book I think, that Jonathan Clements talked to someone at the BBFC about the whole " encouraging an interest in underage sex" thing and was introduced to the concept of grooming for the first time. If you have a searchable digital copy I believe the word "nonce" came up in the article.

I do find some of thier ratings a little bizzar at times. Why is a series like Tokko a 15 when Deadman Wonderland is an 18. I feel that horror films rated 15 have much worse language/gore etc. than an anime rated 18; I don't really get it... But it doesn't really effect my life so I can't complain.

The Berserk TV anime was passed uncut with an 18 rating, the first Berserk film was passed uncut with a 15 rating and the second Berserk film was passed uncut with an 18 rating. I have no idea what they'll make of the new one, however, considering that they were planning to show it at a film festival then didn't because they thought it might be "too extreme/graphic/something like that", however that doesn't necessarily mean they won't release it on DVD - it was an anime specific film festival screening programme so maybe the logic was that there would be people who'd come to see it not knowing what they were getting into? |
