ANIME WHICH ARE ❎BANNED❎ IN        DIFFERNET COUNTRIES   #2




Attack On Titan In China



Fans of Attack on Titan are unlikely to be surprised to see this anime on this list. The show features humans getting eaten by enormous titan creatures. There is a lot of gore, with the whole show serving as nightmare fuel.The entire show was banned in China. However, violence was not the only reason it was banned. China disliked how the anime featured a strong theme on opposing authority. It gets even more awkward as the societies in the show sometimes make striking parallels between Japan and China relations.Attack on Titan is just one of many anime that China has banned out of concern that the show will damage their society.

Pokémon In Saudi Arabia



A far cry from Attack on Titan, what could Pokémon have that would get it banned in an entire country? Well, Saudi Arabia has a lot of thoughts on this international sensation.
The ban was created by the General Secretariat of the Council of Senior Religious Scholars. They saw the game as a form of gambling, which was forbidden. It also encourages the belief in evolution. Lastly, the symbols promoted Shinto Japanese religion and Christianity. In short, the anime and games were too Zionist for their comfort.




Hetalia: Axis Powers In South Korea



The formula for the characters of this show was bound to insult some. Every character represents a country, so it uses a ton of stereotypes. Italy, Germany, and Japan share a cute friendship despite their military history during World War II.

South Korea found the show less funny and cute. They were insulted by their character. A specific grievance was held against the fact the character's hanbok was drawn wrong, and his perverted behavior was also offensive. They also disliked the character, Korea's, praise for the Japan character since their countries have not had the friendliest of histories with each other. Due to this, Studio Deen removed all references to South Korea in the anime. So technically, the anime is not banned in the country, but a certain character is.

Death Note In China



Like mentioned with Attack on Titan, China has banned a ton of anime. Death Note is one of the more internationally popular examples. Its dark premise revolves around themes of death, justice, and murder. The franchise has inspired real-life incidents, such as kids making their own Death Notes where they would write names of people they didn't like.

It is real-life incidents like that that has gotten Death Note banned in China. Some schools around the world have also attempted to ban the manga, such as in Albuquerque, New Mexico. However, they didn't get enough votes for the district-wide ban.

Puni Puni Poemy In New Zealand



This anime was banned in New Zealand due to its excessive sexual content and violence. The sexual content was especially bad since it involves very young characters. A lot of anime fans have questioned why New Zealand has banned Puni Puni Poemy but left others unchecked.
The best answer seems to be that the anime is not very popular anyway, so it is not on the mainstream radar. It is not like Death Note or Pokémon in terms of its influence on society.

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.
