page 1 of 4

I don't think this is official yet, but I've caught hold of a rumor that the United States is planning to BAN anime from the airwaves. There is a petition with about 5000 signatures on it so far. Although I'm a Canadian citizen, THIS P****S ME OFF! If there was another forum started on this can some1 point me to it and if there isn't does anyone have more information?!?!?

Don't think that's true. Where's your proof? Do you have an article. This is a new thing I never saw on the forum before.

Yeah, I would have a hard time believing this too, just a rumor imho. Why would the government want to do that?

They're not.
I live in the US.
If they were to ban, I'd continue to download it illegally. So meh.
Bush is too busy taking peoples money to risk getting mauled by rabid anime fans, anyway.

the guy studders like loser even anime is to advanced for his level of education. it does not effect me dubbed anime is beyond awful i try and stay away form it as much as possible

I don't think that's true, because what's the reason for banning anime?

This is the link to the petition I found: http://www.petitiononline.com/cutiepie/petition.html

It currently has 5760 signatures. I think any anime fans should keep an eye on the movement in case it gets to be a serious threat (at which I don't beleive it is at right now). I think the reasons that the petitioner's give for banning anime are pathetic and there are far more pros and cons.

if it was, it would be for the better hahaahh no more shows beeing ruined by bad dubs ect hahaha

i hope its true !! LOL

I also found this link to a petition to not ban anime: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/SaveAnime

I've heard of that before...they're not banning anime from the U.S. it's all a stupid fraud. Besides...the U.S. has other things to worry about than banning anime.

My thoughts exactly.

Well if they do that alot of people are going to be thrown in jail or there would be mass movement to another country. And there would be rabid sugar high Anime Fans storming D.C
There should really be an anime fan as president...^-^

they wont i never herd of this i live in the U.S. if they did i would be soooooooo MAD :angry:

as long as pencils and erasers exists there is anime. anyways i live in canada (thats right " the country with no nukes.") so i have nothing to worry about. i can download anything i want. besides how is 5000 people gonna compair with the few other millions of americans.

*reads the patition* ... :sweat: ... *snickers* :nya:

Looks like the same old psycho-fundementalist ravings to me. (No offense intended for you more well-adjusted Christians out there! ^_^')

There was a similar movement not too long ago to ban the Internet... held over the internet... x_x

i wouldn't take this seriously unless folks connected to CN, Adult Swim, Anime Network, and other networks start talking about it.

Reassurance granted! *big sigh* Canada is such a puppy to the US and follows whatever they do, so I naturally panicked. *glomps all the people who posted* Anime is the big piece of pie in my life and I would move to Japan the second it was banned should that ever happen. I'm even planning to live in Japan for awhile.

hm i agree i realy doubt thats true...i hope thats not true, it just looks like another person who thinks anime is a bad influence and has their beliefs on that

Quote by EchoChani wouldn't take this seriously unless folks connected to CN, Adult Swim, Anime Network, and other networks start talking about it.

yeah i agree, then there would probably be something to worry about

Yeah ive seen this before...i believe on ocremix. A petition is an easy thing to ignore, all it is is a paper with a few thousand signatures on it...ready to be burned, the only diffrence here is that there arent signatures...easy delete. The govenment wouldnt care if it was sent, do you think they'll spend millions trying to keep out anime? I mean they have problems keeping out drugs and immigrants.

i dont believe a single thing about this banning anime. its junk. anime has been here in usa for as long as we know it. itll be stupid to take it now of all times.

I heard something about it on the news here (in North Carolina). I think they were complaining about content. But they only show the ones targeted for adults late at night, kids shouldn't be allowed to stay up that late anyway. I don't think they will be able to ban it. They haven't been able to ban rap or Marilyn Manson yet, so I don't think they will acheive this worthless venture either.

Well, as long as fansubs are still here, it's okay. Is anime that bad? Not every single one is that bad, is it? How can those people say Ah! My Goddess is sick?

I don't think it'll last long,
but their examples are horrible. Still, there are many bad animes out there that kids read and get manipoulated by...I mean, an 11 year old can read Hellsing or Negima or Ceres and be really moved by those pages.
Ahem, but that's for them. For us older and mature audiences, let anime be for those who want it, and let anime be the brother of cartoons.
I'm not addicted to anime, as you can tell...I just like the occasional good art and true sentimental meaning...meanigless crap like Yu-gi-oh and Pokemon is just that;crap.....there are more, but I don't wanna anger anyone...

i think this is a rumor ifff not <_< >_> i cant do a thing

I couldn't care less, because I buy my Anime at Best Buy. I don't like watered down Cartoon Network English translated Anime. I signed it because nothing will come of that complaint, nothing ever does. Ahahahaha, Also, read some of the peoples' posts!
