it ain’t all daijoubu after all welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
anime industry controversies that’s
disgusting
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at the scandals that have blown
up around various anime series as well
as some rather awkward behind-the-scenes
antics of the industry itself prepare
for cringe prepare for rage and prepare
for some weird yep
number 10 the say you prank workplace
hijinks sir commonplace and the anime
industry is obviously no different but
many are in agreement that this little
stunt is really mean a newcomer to the
voice acting game Mitsu here oh you
cheeky thought he was auditioning for a
role in the anime Kokoro connect except
there was one problem the whole thing
was staged he was made to say some
really embarrassing dialogue all while
being unknowingly recorded the real
kicker was that he was called in at a
later date thinking his character was
about to be revealed
only for them to show the hidden footage
humiliating him on a stage as a result
number 9 deal and the Quran seems like
Dio Brando wasn’t satisfied with just
making an enemy out of the Joestar
family he also wanted to piss off an
entire religion while he was at it did
he succeed well of course he’s deal just
look at you sittin there with him back
to me leaving yourself wide open
there was a scene of the stand user
reading excerpts from what appeared to
be the Quran and as you might have
guessed with Dio being sort of a
vampiric amalgamation of all that’s evil
Muslim groups found this to be rather
offensive since it painted the holy book
in kind of a bad light needless to say
there was some rapid fire at its
required
I don’t know bright endless eight
there’s that feeling again and it’s
stronger than all the others now I know
we’ve done this ten thousand times
before as anime fans there are a lot of
tropes cliches and overall weirdness
that you can put up with especially when
it comes to miss Suzumiya can you
destroy the entire universe with just a
thought
sounds good time travelers no problem
however we’ve draw the line when you
give us eight episodes of pretty much
the exact same thing
we don’t care that they’re trapped in a
time loop you could have done the exact
same thing with three or four episodes
in order to get that message across but
eight episodes come on needless to say
the studio had to make a public apology
for this stunt number seven child
pornography scandal Scott Freeman was
quite a notable voice actor in the world
of anime providing the dubs for favorite
characters like England in Hetalia Axis
powers Pierce in a certain magical index
as well as Issei in highschool DxD
however in a shocking revelation freeman
ended up being charged with eight counts
of possession of child pornography
leading to a three year sentence as of
2015 as expected his contract with
Funimation was terminated all his
characters were swiftly replaced and his
entire career in the world of anime was
tarnished to say the least number six
the Evangelion TV finale as fans of the
anime can attest the ending of the
original Neon Genesis Evangelion wasn’t
to everyone’s taste
by all means give Shinji a satisfying
ending but did it all have to take place
in his head well some Japanese fans got
a little heated creator Hideaki anno was
on the receiving end of some otaku anger
despite the fall flying in a lack of
budget rather than the lack of ideas it
got so bad that some fans sent death
threats to a no what was his response
show them off in a montage in the movie
sequel End of Evangelion the number 5
sex scandal yep here we are again
talking about Haruhi Suzumiya only this
one is even more petty for Japanese
voice actress aya hirano was also a
rising pop star who was also pretty
vocal that she had no love for her fans
and otaku culture in general things only
got worse for her fanbase after photos
were leaked suggesting that she had been
sleeping around with bandmates as you
can imagine the Haruhi Suzumiya fan club
weren’t exactly pleased number for
political dubbing
stick up your ass are you one of those
dumbass gamergate creep shows most of
the time fans have no issues when an
English dub changes some of the dialogue
around just as long as it faithfully
portrays the intended meaning of the
source material however when people
caught wind that the Funimation English
dubs of prison school my girlfriend is a
cow and Miss Kobayashi’s dragon maid
made reference to Western political
events and social crazes they did not
take it well outraged stemmed from the
idea that the meaning behind the scenes
was essentially flipped and real-world
political agendas were incorporated
instead book days been canceled you guys
another win for us JW Millennials number
three Tatsuki gets the pink slip so
there’s this anime called kimono friends
it’s all about anthropomorphic animal
girls at a zoo it’s animated with some
pretty subpar CGI and the Japanese
audience friggin loves it for whatever
reason the series hasn’t really
resonated with fans as well in the West
but the Japanese fanbase more than makes
up for that so when season 2 was
announced people were elated until they
noticed the original director that
Sookie had been removed what followed
next was a series of protests by the
community until the production company
Kota Kawa announced that they were in
talks with mister Tatsuki once more
number 2 nice boat how can something so
tragic become a meme well this one
revolves around the anime school days
spoiler alert it’s a friggin abomination
it centers on a guy called Makoto who
cheats on his high school girlfriend
with his best friend before he goes on
to cheat on her with a million other
girls all of which leads to the show’s
finale where said best friend stabs him
to death
however the airing of this final episode
was delayed following the actual killing
of a Japanese citizen who was murdered
in a similar fashion afraid that the
finale would be compared to the event
the studio delayed the episode and
instead aired replacement footage of a
boat
number one electric soldier porygon
before Pokemon go this was the deadliest
phenomenon that the franchise had ever
produced there’s nothing wrong with this
episode per se in terms of its content
it’s more the fact that due to its
dependency on strobe light effects it
managed to injure around 700 Japanese
citizens while the effects buried many
of the victims who ranged from children
to the elderly suffered mass epileptic
fits in the horrific aftermath the
episode was taken off the air and never
rebroadcast it also got itself a
Guinness world record in the process
most photosensitive epileptic seizures
caused by a television show Wow way to
go porygon
