  ANIME WHICH ARE  ❎ BANNED❎  IN        DIFFERNET COUNTRIES   #3 Kinnikuman In France Kinnikuman's  story was innocent enough, however, all controversy was laid on a certain character: Brocken Jr. He is portrayed as a "good Nazi," which made a lot of people uncomfortable. To explain, he wore a Nazi uniform due to his father being a German Nazi but did not adhere to any other beliefs related to the ideology. Brocken's character got the entire show banned in France.

5 ANIME WHICH ARE ❎ BANNED❎ IN        DIFFERNET COUNTRIES Anime has gained mainstream prominence over the last decade, but certain shows were still deemed inappropriate by particular countries.  Anime can get a little crazy sometimes. It can be due to violence, incest, and a long-range of other issues. Like any other storytelling medium, at times, anime's stories, characters, and their relationships can get offensive. Due to this, anime fans would certainly be the first to say that just because a show is animated that does not mean it is child-friendly. According to some countries though, the shows on this list are not even adult-friendly. They are not good for society in general! So how bad does it have to be to get banned and for what reason?
