Will Someone Please Think About the Kodomo (no Jikan)?
So, I remember being kind of surprised when people said TV Saitama might not air Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai during the whole Axegate dust-up (for those who weren’t paying attention, Higurashi and School Days had airings pulled on many stations due to the public (mis)perception that the violent schoolgirl-featuring shows may have inspired one girl to kill her dad with an axe).
Why was I surprised? Because TV Saitama is the station that was set to air Kodomo no Jikan (known to many in the U.S. as Nymphet, or That Loli Series Seven Seas Licensed and Wussed Out On).
But now TV Saitama has taken Higurashi off of their line-up, and Kodomo no Jikan has also disappeared from their schedule, says Canned Dogs.
There are other stations listed on KoJikan’s official site (and a CM, by the way): Chiba TV, Mie TV, and KBS Kyoto. Let’s hope they stick with it!
