Most of them are relatively violent/bloody shows.

Only about 3 of them are ecchi/sexy shows.

 

[The Omega Man]

But China has a lack of women. Those Alphas wont know what to do with themselves. Without anime to calm the male spirit chaos will ensue

Shit you are right, China legalize the animu again pls

 

[Swamped]

Good.

Isn't it weird that the sequel is banned but not the first season?

 

[Avixph]

So you're saying that China should have banned all ecchi and loli anime? If so I agree.

 

[KidA Seven]

So the people that review the anime, they are probably secretly anime fans. I mean they have to watch tons of anime to see if it's ok or not. At one point they probably started to like it.

 

[Avixph]

Shit you are right, China legalize the animu again pls

If they do they might lack more women and men in the future.

"Girls Bravo: Second Season"

.......but Season One is okay? Wut?

Also INFERNO COP? NOOOOOOOO.

Edit: Same for SAO. How is the 2nd season on there, but not the first?

Could it be the cross-gender thing? Several of the anime on that list feature that.

 

[EMT0]

Some how code geas is not on the list?

That was my immediate thought

They probably have servers full of anime for "government purpose."

 

[cajunator]

Sword Art Online deserves to be on that list. Friend of mine told me it was a great anime and having not watched one in a few years I gave it a look.

Fantastic concept ruined by being author self insert masturbatory farce exemplifying everything crap about the medium.

Then the same author wrote Accel World which is a hell of a lot better. And not on China's list

 

[Alrus]

I don't really get why Another is banned ? It's rather tame (also not very good).

 

[Bob Coffee]

Atleast madoka is safe.for now lol

How so?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Leave the harem kings alone!

 

[cajunator]

How so?

How so what?

 

[Avixph]

How so what?

How is Accel World better than Sword Art Online? I haven't watched it.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Highschool of the Dead

China you can't do this.

Oh man good thing they banned the Devil May Cry anime, there are probably huge swathes of people about to watch that. Crisis averted.

I only saw the first episode but it didn't seem that bad for an anime based off of a game. Looked pretty spot on with the source material.

 

[Josephl64]

I liked "Another"...I'm actually surprised there wasn't already an anime blacklist in China

 

[GungHo]

I'm not much of an anime fan, but how the hell did Afro Samurai and Elfen Lied end up on the same list beyond "these are examples of anime"?

 

[Soma]

A whole generation will never know the wonders of Inferno Cop and Blood-C.

What a shame.

 

[LiK]

Fuck China

 

[redmetal86]

No Black Lagoon? Revy must have threatened to violate them.

 

[Abounder]

Yikes. And on a side note it's no wonder Mad Max Fury Road won't be released in China, gotta love bureaucracy X_X

 

[skLaFarebear]

Can't wait to bring my Berserk manga volumes and DVD's to China and read/watch them out in public

 

[cajunator]

How is Accel World better than Sword Art Online? I haven't watched it.

The main protagonist is actually weak, for one thing and has to grow as a character. Its also not as self-insert. He learns to become stronger. Also it has a strong character named Kuroyukihime in it which I quite appreciated. It still has a lot of dumb things in it but overall way more inferesting than Sword Art Online.

 

[Arkeband]

I don't really get why Another is banned ? It's rather tame (also not very good).

Every episode has a contrived, gory death.

You don't remember someone falling down stairs and being impaled on an umbrella?

The substitute teacher who slices out his neck and bleeds all over his classroom...???

 

[munchie64]

I don't understand the point of existing as a country if you can't have School Days.

 

[Xe4]

I'm not entirely sure about the other titles but SnK did glorify a pretty infamous Japanese general. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but many Chinese (and Koreans as well) actively about Japanese cultural products because of bad blood anyhow.

 

[Shiina]

Isn't it weird that the sequel is banned but not the first season?

Even China knows that S2 is an even bigger pile of shit than S1.

 

[machemachete]

It looks like KissXSis and Yosuga are still there.

Interesting.

 

[Snkfanatic]

ctrl f + 'kiniro'

CHINA IT'S NOT TOO LATE

You better not be talking about Kiniro Mosaic! :T

 

[machemachete]

On a second though, WHY they didn't banned Mahouka?

Onii-sama literally

Spoiler

killes tons of chinese with his bare hands and send them a nuclear bomb, NIPPON 2 STRONK

 

[JustAnotherMike]

If remember right China's big no no is zombies and maybe gore. I'm not 100% on that, but I remember reading it was tough for Blizzard to get World of Warcraft out in China during the Wrath of the Lich King because all the undead stuff. Think they just turned them into skeletons.

Skeletons are a no go for China. Basically you're not allowed to depict walking bones for whatever reason.

What they really did was retexture and remodel all the skeletons so they look like very anorexic people.

 

[nubbe]

Ergo Proxy is like a story about China

 

[Grimpadlock]

Oh hey, someone actually remembers those who hunt elves.

Spoiler

the only thing I remember about it is the opening theme. It's great

 

[bobbychalkers]

There doing favors with Sword Art, and Elfen Lied. Shame about Ergo Proxy and Inferno Cop, especially the latter haha.

Oh okay thanks.😀

 

[MetatronM]

As of April 1, new regulations in China require video websites to seek approval to stream foreign media. At the time, the ministry began blacklisting titles that "include scenes of violence, pornography, terrorism and crimes against public morality."

Sword Art Online II

Well they got that right, at least.

I love that series. Well S1 anyway. S2 was kind of forgettable.

 

[cajunator]

Wait a minute, so this isnt blacklisted?

CaJun is correct.

 

[Sparse]

This will not do.

 

[FuuRe]

I was looking for a list of anime to watch, this will do

Thanks China

Sword art online needs to be banned from existence

Worked for Adventure time (Lucky Pie) and Gumball (Miracle star)!
