But before that…more Kodomo no Jikan Concerns
SaiAni pointed to a blog post from one of the KoJikan creators on its recent cancellation from TV Saitama. The basic gist of the blog entry is that TeleTama cancelled it because of Axegate 2007. But they express dismay:
“But [in our show] no axe or saw or knife comes out, not to mention there are no grotesque depictions. When we think about that, the feeling is ‘where is it’ [i.e. the violence that poses a problem]?”
Canned Dogs translates a post on the Barnum Studio website (they’re making the anime) which talks about their concern not just for the show but for the industry, since the TV station can pull the series even after everyone has paid for everything (including advertisers) without any consequences. (!)
