Several anime involving plots similier to the actualy event were pulled. Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai was canceld by many of the TV stations it was airing on. Although, the episodes will eventualy be aired on AT-X, and Sun TV.
School Days was also pulled before the season(series?) finale, on TV Kanagawa. Instead they played classical music the full hour. Other TV stations also pulled the program, until AT-X finnaly aired it on September 27.
So what does everyone think about this? Will this lead to more controversy in violant anime? Will there be more censorship? Should/can we blame violant anime (and other medium) for real life violants? I personaly, dont think violant anime (or any other medium) has anything to do with the incedent (or any other crime) but I do see why these episodes were delayed; it would be very distastefull to air them. Any other opinions on this subject?

i'm sorry. the way it was reported. it didnt even investigate the details that actually happened. Maybe the dad did something unforgiveable or the daughter has scizophrenia. Youth are often demonised like this, at the rate this is going adults killing adults are now less publicised... Cancelling a tv show will not stop people murdering people.
