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?

sounds right.but many killers are made from many different things in their enviroment. their was a murder around my area where a young boy gunned down his father and his fathers friend with a shotgun for no reason at all. anyone heard about the guy who drove through Akihabara with a military knife sticking out of the truck, killing alot of people. i read the article in "gamer" or something back in October 08'. i think some of the violent anime like that can cause people to imitate it. especially school days, what a F****ed up anime.
