r/anime bursts into flames when mangaka convicted with child porn gets Anime announcement.

https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/xmjanw/rurouni_kenshin_new_anime_key_visual

Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan which is a Battle Shonen series set in 1878 of the Meiji Period in Japan. The manga started in 1994. Battle meaning violence, Shonen meaning the series is marketed to young boys/teenagers.

I will shorten it to Rurouni Kenshin and it was written by Nobuhiro Watsuki who was convicted with child pornography. Source. Source. He then got fined $1,870 or 200,000 yen for violating Japan's CP law. Source. He had hundreds of DVDs.

Now we get to today where he gets a new Anime series announced:

I cannot wait to see the discussion threads when it eventually airs lmao

In addition to the "source material corner:, the mods should add a "p-dophile bashing corner"

How is this series getting new projects when the author is literally a convicted p-dophile?

Also because all the big battle shounen mangaka fell in line to defend his butt.

I remember Oda being the big one Imgur link of signed battle shonen author signatures Twitter link of more

Oda is like his best friend

Oda being Eiichiro Oda being author of One Piece.

Well just look at the comment section here. "Fans" don't seem to care at all and it's them that's keeping him successful. They should treat him like a pariah but they don't.

Being the 17th most popular manga of all time might have something to do with it.

Because the anime industry is filled with them.

throw a stone

Because the manga is awesome

For context for those who don't know: Basically Watsuki had CP when it was legal, it became illegal, and he had one year to turn it in and avoid punishment. Instead he held onto it for four years, got caught, and only had to pay $1,500.

By pretending nothing happened and people kept buying the merch.

Japan let a p-dophile off with a slap on the wrist.

I don't get why people hating on the anime because of the authors crime

P-do draws adult characters, people mad. Non p-do draws sexualized lolis, people not mad

Lotta you need to learn to separate the art from the artist

Only on r/anime will you get downmarseyd for calling out p-dophiles.

I'm hoping r/anime can tell the difference between: "This is just a drawing" And "The author is a convicted p-dophile" If you defend actual nonces your argument that loli hentai is as harmless as videogame violence goes out the window

My internal childhood is squealing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't let the author know that

No way the p-do getting more money
