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 being Eiichiro Oda being author of One Piece.
Being the 17th most popular manga of all time might have something to do with it.
Because the anime industry is filled with them.
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.
My internal childhood is squealing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't let the author know that
No way the p-do getting more money

I havent read the whole post so idk if you mention it but iirc the reason he got off so light is because the dvds were legal when he bought them.
My favourite p-do manga author story is the act-age guy. He rode around on a bicycle flipping up high-schooler's skirts.

I'm glad you provide that clarificafion, rage has been calmed.
As we know, whatever is legally permissible is also morally permissible. Hate the game, not the player.

"legal" meaning the actors were like 17? The article says "below 18" so I don't know if I'm to imagine toddler r*pe or not
