People who want to “childproof” things usually either 1: never watch their own children and just let tv be a babysitter 2: use children as a means to fulfill their own desire which imo is much more disgusting than 1
polititions tend to be older people whose first experience with movies, especially movies for older audiences, were still very conservative by today's standards. their first experience with japanese media is instead bikini girls or worse, making them assume the primary audience for *all* japanese media is much older, ignoring the existence of children in japan and the media made to specifically appeal to them. TLDR: politicians refuse to believe you when you say 50 shades has near porno levels of sex while they are perfectly willing to believe that everything out of Japan is about gangbangs.
@@eternialogic I don't think you can generalize that to a specific race, Those politicians are just old, and they cant read. Doesn't matter if its Chinese, Brits, or American. Because I know lots of my Chinese friends are influenced by Japanese culture as well.
"Offensive to some," So every single thing every created. Without exception. Thats no exaggeration, every single thing in existance would offend someone or be found problematic by someone.

Anyone who actively wants to ban anime clearly has no joy whatsoever in their sad, bitter, pathetic lives. How joyless and paranoid must your life be to actually want to forcibly keep people against their will, from enjoying anime?

We need to stop protecting kids so much. I have alot of friends at the age of 14-16 and they're constantly mentioning the fact that "Oh yeah I can't say or do that I'm not 18" like, kids have reached the point that they're self aware of their own restrictions. My generations definitely werent. Maybe it's time we lower certain age restriction. The younger generations are way smarter than the previous ones, they mature ALOT faster
So parents aren’t teaching their kids how to grow up, they’re just babying them? I didn’t think I’d ever have to say this but... back in my day, i had to iron my own uniforms and i wasn’t really taught how to cook i just got hungry and figured if my folks could do it so could i, i just needed a step-stool, and rice ain’t complicated to make and i could wash my own clothes by early secondary school Do parents not help their kids learn these things anymore? What even.
@@laoaidan2400 they just treat kids like kids to much. So they never have the need to learn these mundane everyday skills until they're out on they're own. But that's quickly solved with an internet how to video. The real problem is their mentality. Theyve been cattered to everytime they cry. They've been raised to believe that their voice matters and that they're unique and special. They think they're smart bc they either just graduated or are in college. But really they just have a ton of information with no critical thinking skills to apply them. And that's how you get this Woke movement with backwards thinking SJWs running around. They think they're woke bc they're barely facing the real world and all its problems.
It’s no different from general books or tv, you shouldn’t let your kids watch pulp fiction and you shouldn’t let your kids read 50 shades, it’s no different

(minus the population density)
"may be offensive to some" Wow that's a loaded sentence. When they mean offence they clearly don't mean any offence. And by some people it's only special people.
I honestly don't understand that line, removing it from one area in one country isn't gonna stop it from existing altogether you can find a lot of manga and anime on the internet and only like 2 or 3 people out of 1000 will actually get even slightly offended
*THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!:* uh, you do realize that things have AGE RATINGS for a reason right? If you REALLY thought about the children, then you would be more strict on what they watch. Not everything is for them. If you let them see manga and anime that is aimed towards adults, that’s on you.
Seems every year people are getting stupider and stupider no one bothered doing research heck even if they did the research common sense don't even apply to them
@@Need_RnR if they are incapable of it then this still applies lol set it so they can't view things with a higher age rating than their children are it really isn't difficult
I am just going to say it this is no different than back when religious and overly sensitive politicians to what is new and strange in the U.S. tried to ban or censored metal/rock music , cartoons, comics, and video games . They used the same B.S. think of the children arguments.

I'd let my child watch Kill la Kill once they're 14 or some shit, but I'm not going to let them watch SAO. That's just hot garbage. Granted, its probably not the first anime I'd show my child. Something like Bleach or Naruto would be more appropriate. 17 is more of an appropriate age to just let them go watch whatever they want, because at that point, they have a good moral foundation and shit so long as they've been properly parented.
Lego Stormtrooper I recommend watching the anime first to get your own opinions about the show instead of letting others tell you how "bad it is. This is because some people like myself love the anime and others on the other hand hate it like it's the worst anime ever( it's really not). So yeah please watch the show first before someone that hates it stops you from enjoying an anime you might like.
@@bestbread3446 Watch it yourself as you need to have an opinion on it. xD. Your opinion kinda depends if it's one of your first animes or one of many. Animes I'd suggest are Violet Evergarden, Steins;Gate, and Clannad (Afterstory), and Your Lie in April As they are amazing overall. Some specifics include worldbuilding, plot, motivations, mental and physical challenges/barriers, beautiful and dynamic soundtracks, relations between characters, and connections you form. While the story has many dimensions with emotional highs and lows. All while taking you an a journey that you will remember. (Versus SAO which has...none of these things. Where 1 character is basically a god and nothing else matters) Others include KonoSuba (Comedy), Spice and Wolf (Romance/Adventure) , and Toradora (Romcom).

You want to know the number one thing that pisses me off it's when parents and politicians say think of the children this is nothing but a phrase used as an excuse. anime literally does not hurt children rather than blaming anime they should take responsibility in monitor what they're children watch it's just that simple.
Aussie parents: "What? Making sure my child is mature enough to read certain manga titles and watch certain anime while seeing the content with a mature eye? What kind of sorcery is that?"
They always used that as an excuse to try to destroy creativity (or to try to get their way in general ). its the same excuse they used in the 1950's to get the Comic Code Authority which completely destroyed creativity. its ridiculous its like telling an adult they can't eat steak cause kids can't eat it. its the parents job to monitor your kids not other people's.

yup, leverage. Their using their own kids as leverage to get whatever they want. I hate these type of people from the bottom of my heart. Using the "better for their future" pretense, sure it's better for their future but what about for others? There are other things worth taking note off as of now but they're focusing on a bunch of drawn characters? (pains my heart to say that) . There are others things that need attention, anime is not one of them. Sure, they maybe inappropriate or sexualised. well at least, Anime knows how to draw more cash and attention than most people because they understand they're target audience. Males, who want to have a beautiful and busty woman as a girlfriend or wife, a true male fantasy. I know its my fantasy. Females.....eh....idk about their fantasy...power and wealth i guess...?

This isn't a left vs right wing issue, just an ignorant moron issue. And even if we made that argument, historically it's pretty much always been conservatives trying to ban the EVIL MUSIC, or the VIDEO GAMES BAD MAKE CHILDREN VIOLENT and like fifty other things.
@Holly B. Do you really think there are no conservatives that agree with this? Not only do they exist, but they probably are the vast majority. The left and the right have always passed the ball to each other when it comes to blaming video games, porn or whatever for political, religious and "moral" reasons, but if you really want to compare both sides, the right beats the left by a landslide. It's always been like this.
My friend punched a Karen who lost her mind over his "Oppai" mask and tried to attack him for it. Naturally, the Karen made a scene and everyone within earshot witnessed the entire scenario. Rather than get thrown out or arrested, he got a standing ovation for having the balls to put the bitch in her place! Virtue signaling is the most racist, sexist, and offensive ideology in existence. They claim to be fighting for another, but their actions prove that they are just looking for attention. They are outright admitting "(insert group) is too stupid and helpless to do anything themselves, so I'm going to (insert action) because it makes me look good! If you think I'm wrong, then you're a (insert "ist")!" Think about it: lowering the quality standards of education and careers because (insert group) is too stupid to qualify on their own merit. That sounds pretty offensive to me! Even worse is when they try to use women and children as shields to enforce their agenda, both figuratively and literally. This PC cancel cult has no place in the civilized world and must be chased out before it gets even worse. If it isn't, then Karens and Kevins are going to grow too powerful to stop with reason and logic, forcing people to use violence to purge them and their simps from society. Manga/anime has taught me a lot of values that are lost in western entertainment. In this current hostile climate, Japanese entertainment is so refreshing because it doesn't lecture on politics or virtue signalling. That is likely why it has become more popular internationally than ever.
it's fascinating to see how reactionary the anime community has become over the last few years, driven partly by misguided SJW's and partly by increased reach of fairly conservative authors
Australia’s always been heavy on censorship, and it isn’t the first time this has happened. The old PS2 game Manhunt was banned there, and a few other games as well.
It seems every day that we're getting closer to a future where anime and manga no longer exist. It just makes your heart hurt, lads. They'd kill an art form disguising it as law.
Whoa, Kinokuniya...there are Kinokuniya bookstores here where I live and I've shopped there multiple times. I love it there. Yep, there are Kinokuniya stores outside of Japan.
I can just imagine what a government psa against manga would be like. "This is little Timmy, a normal straight A boy. By doing just one manga, we see the effects... Little Timmy... Is now a terrorist."
I get that there are laws and some things that could universally be seen as offensive. Most people probably wouldn't like scat and there are legal issues with copyrights and if something is basically just challenging a nation (for example, a series about assassinating a real life leader that is currently alive). But on the subject of "being offended", that's WAY too damn broad.... I could draw a blue circle and someone could be offended cause it's not a triangle or because it's blue instead of red... I personally think people have gotten too touchy and closed minded. I can see in cases why someone would raise concerns, but there's usually a pretty good counter argument to things, meaning you just have to be open minded and accept others' views. This are honestly issues we have right now with how SJWs and Cancel Culture try to do things. People need to stop trying to force their views down each other's throats and learn that they aren't the only one in this world.
@@Riku-zv5dk if that's the case, it just makes it weirder where they ban one medium differently than the other when it's basically two versions of the same source. Far as I know, anime themed Light Novels could be treated as either books or manga. And the concept of anime is still along the same lines as a movie or cartoon so it should follow TV based procedures right?
@@DarkFrozenDepths There are three classifications of media, Film and Television (includes anime), Videogames, and Publication (which includes manga and light novels). And each classification of media has their own guidelines for classification. This is due to legal definitions and laws around them across the country as well as how the guidelines are decided on, which is all states, territories and the federal government have to agree on. The various guidelines, and the ratings they provide, have to take into account all the laws of the above parties as broadly as possible, while also not restricting media as much as possible as well.
@@DarkFrozenDepths True people are being to sensitive nowadays... I'm surprised no one is complaining about Theatrr acting since they also have a harsh environment at times...
sadly over here in Aus the law changes very quietly sometimes, it's stupid, so I'm not sure if it has or not for manga classification however i know most books do need classification since the 50 shades of grey issue
I agree that Kinokinyu is between a rock in a hard place. From a quick search in Google, Australian law is based off common law, similar to that used in the UK and US. This means that laws are always being interpreted based off new rulings in the courts of law. Most of the time laws do not change dramatically because previous rulings tend to have a strong precedence, but with particularly old laws or subject matter that has not been regulated, like manga in Australia, it can be a roll of a dice of which way a court decides. Once a court decides that precedent can become very difficult to change. This is why copyright law, at least in the US, is so old and antiquated; No one wants to take it to court and have it ruled in a way that could hurt them. I imagine Kinokinyu received some pressure from politicians like Ms. Bonaros saying that they would bring manga to the courts for review. Rather risk than having a precedent set that would have all manga potentially reviewed or having the seller liable for sales of manga, Kinokinyu caved and removed certain manga. Ms. Bonaros is likely not to go much further, but may target certain manga again when she feels it would be an easy victory. Going to court is not likely her end goal as a ruling could go against her efforts and be politically embarrassing, or create a unintended precedent that could upset other groups.
What this boils down to is politicians are trying change the Classification Law and manga is the scapegoat. As a whole Austrailia's classification system is flawed they have G, PG, MA, MA15, and R. Any age can watch or buy MA or lower while a person under 15 needs to be accompanied by their parent or adult guardian to watch or buy MA15. This MA15 is problematic so what they want to do is merge MA15 with MA and add a PG12 or 13 rating. To note this system is 25 years old and times have changed. Rating definitions: www.classification.gov.au/classification-ratings/what-do-ratings-mean Submission change see bullets 3 and 4: igea.net/2020/03/submission-to-the-australian-government-review-of-australian-classification-regulation/
Government is banning and censoring media in Australia? It honestly confuses me when a county claims to be "free" but has state censorship, which is what countries like China do. The difference is only in degrees, but not in principle. You're not allowed to publish or buy anything tha the government doesn't like.
Australia is more "soft authoritarian " than it is a democracy...certainly not a republic....theyve been banning/censoring stuff of all kinds for decades.
Australian Law on Classification of Materials has diverged from UK Law (which it's based upon) in the past 20 years to be *deliberately* difficult to navigate. Now from a basic standpoint., there is *ZERO* Requirement for Classification for any Media *unless* it is to be Syndicated for Public Broadcast. So a Direct-to-Video OVA for example., actually is not legally required to be submitted to the Classification Board. Yet, in practise a Retailer strictly speaking can't get away with this because of other Legislation on Variance of Taxation Cases. What I mean by that is, what is brought in is specific Media is Taxed Differently depending upon it's Country of Origin, Format, etc. And the only approach that the Government accepts as "Valid" Classification, is via the Classification Board. As such, they don't have to change the Law... instead they're adding what on the surface might seem "Unrelated" that is effectively making it illegal to not have to go through Classification. They did this with Video Games a while back., because they wanted to be able to crack down on them; so they brought in a Special Taxation Rule., where-in if you didn't go through the Classification Board, they'd just assume a Premium Taxation for "Unknown Media"; doing so still increased the VAT,. which was ridiculous hence why Australian Games are so ridiculously expensive with the claim that it was to cover the costs of the need for Classification... but they don't cover that cost for you, you still pay the $2,500 - 5,000 for the Submission and Classification Process. And as a further note,. as the Australian Classification Board (unlike most other Countries) is actually part of the Government., the Parliament itself can simply chose to deny / override any decisions on Classification Made. To effective Ban said Game. What they're likely doing is something similar to attempt to Ban Manga, Anime and Light Novels... where-as again under the Core Laws that this is all based upon (UK Law), there is ZERO obligation from the Distributor / Retailer to submit for Classification; it's entirely optional, but as a note Classification *does* come with legal protections.
Very much doubt they would be selling anything that would obviously be illegal here so they shouldn't realistically be in danger. They may have allowed themselves to be intimidated sufficiently by the idea to pull the material though? The sorts of people who prey on this sort of thing typically rely heavily on intimidation.
Quite a complicated situation, this is certainly a video to watch the whole way through if you have the time. If you did watch the full video, what do you think about that theory and this situation?
I might make a condensed, TLDR version down the road, but I also might not.... It just depends on how this video goes + how busy things are and where time/energy can be allocated.
Thanks again, Hero Hei.

Except Austria has this thing called "Refused Classification", meaning something is banned from being imported altogether.
I know about this because Yahtzee, of Zero Punctuation fame, has complained about it on several occasions regarding video games.
Australia even bans 2d pixelated games for violence, what do you expect them to do about anime/manga ? Of course they will try to ban them.

@@bestbread3446 Watch it yourself as you need to have an opinion on it. xD. Your opinion kinda depends if it's one of your first animes or one of many.
Animes I'd suggest are Violet Evergarden, Steins;Gate, and Clannad (Afterstory), and Your Lie in April As they are amazing overall.
Some specifics include worldbuilding, plot, motivations, mental and physical challenges/barriers, beautiful and dynamic soundtracks, relations between characters, and connections you form. While the story has many dimensions with emotional highs and lows. All while taking you an a journey that you will remember.
(Versus SAO which has...none of these things. Where 1 character is basically a god and nothing else matters)
Others include KonoSuba (Comedy), Spice and Wolf (Romance/Adventure) , and Toradora (Romcom).

This isn't a left vs right wing issue, just an ignorant moron issue. And even if we made that argument, historically it's pretty much always been conservatives trying to ban the EVIL MUSIC, or the VIDEO GAMES BAD MAKE CHILDREN VIOLENT and like fifty other things.
@Holly B. Do you really think there are no conservatives that agree with this? Not only do they exist, but they probably are the vast majority. The left and the right have always passed the ball to each other when it comes to blaming video games, porn or whatever for political, religious and "moral" reasons, but if you really want to compare both sides, the right beats the left by a landslide. It's always been like this.
My friend punched a Karen who lost her mind over his "Oppai" mask and tried to attack him for it. Naturally, the Karen made a scene and everyone within earshot witnessed the entire scenario. Rather than get thrown out or arrested, he got a standing ovation for having the balls to put the bitch in her place!
Virtue signaling is the most racist, sexist, and offensive ideology in existence. They claim to be fighting for another, but their actions prove that they are just looking for attention. They are outright admitting "(insert group) is too stupid and helpless to do anything themselves, so I'm going to (insert action) because it makes me look good! If you think I'm wrong, then you're a (insert "ist")!" Think about it: lowering the quality standards of education and careers because (insert group) is too stupid to qualify on their own merit. That sounds pretty offensive to me! Even worse is when they try to use women and children as shields to enforce their agenda, both figuratively and literally. This PC cancel cult has no place in the civilized world and must be chased out before it gets even worse. If it isn't, then Karens and Kevins are going to grow too powerful to stop with reason and logic, forcing people to use violence to purge them and their simps from society.
Manga/anime has taught me a lot of values that are lost in western entertainment. In this current hostile climate, Japanese entertainment is so refreshing because it doesn't lecture on politics or virtue signalling. That is likely why it has become more popular internationally than ever.
it's fascinating to see how reactionary the anime community has become over the last few years, driven partly by misguided SJW's and partly by increased reach of fairly conservative authors

Australia’s always been heavy on censorship, and it isn’t the first time this has happened. The old PS2 game Manhunt was banned there, and a few other games as well.
It seems every day that we're getting closer to a future where anime and manga no longer exist.
It just makes your heart hurt, lads. They'd kill an art form disguising it as law.
Even if they did ban anime, we'll find a way to bring it back and no one can stop us

Whoa, Kinokuniya...there are Kinokuniya bookstores here where I live and I've shopped there multiple times. I love it there. Yep, there are Kinokuniya stores outside of Japan.
Really? What country are you in?
They aren't taking anime/manga/LNs from us, they're just taking the ways to support the creators.
I can just imagine what a government psa against manga would be like. "This is little Timmy, a normal straight A boy. By doing just one manga, we see the effects... Little Timmy... Is now a terrorist."
Its always a terrorist am I right?
ARTEM!S_ so your against anime or with anime
@@ebohm7610 with anime
“Hey Tim, did you get the stuff”
“Yeh”
“Right, lets read”
Seriously tho that would just make it more popular

I get that there are laws and some things that could universally be seen as offensive. Most people probably wouldn't like scat and there are legal issues with copyrights and if something is basically just challenging a nation (for example, a series about assassinating a real life leader that is currently alive).
But on the subject of "being offended", that's WAY too damn broad.... I could draw a blue circle and someone could be offended cause it's not a triangle or because it's blue instead of red... I personally think people have gotten too touchy and closed minded.
I can see in cases why someone would raise concerns, but there's usually a pretty good counter argument to things, meaning you just have to be open minded and accept others' views. This are honestly issues we have right now with how SJWs and Cancel Culture try to do things. People need to stop trying to force their views down each other's throats and learn that they aren't the only one in this world.
@@Riku-zv5dk if that's the case, it just makes it weirder where they ban one medium differently than the other when it's basically two versions of the same source.
Far as I know, anime themed Light Novels could be treated as either books or manga. And the concept of anime is still along the same lines as a movie or cartoon so it should follow TV based procedures right?
@@DarkFrozenDepths There are three classifications of media, Film and Television (includes anime), Videogames, and Publication (which includes manga and light novels). And each classification of media has their own guidelines for classification. This is due to legal definitions and laws around them across the country as well as how the guidelines are decided on, which is all states, territories and the federal government have to agree on. The various guidelines, and the ratings they provide, have to take into account all the laws of the above parties as broadly as possible, while also not restricting media as much as possible as well.
@@Riku-zv5dk Let's not forget that Comic are also similar if not the same as manga...
@@DarkFrozenDepths True people are being to sensitive nowadays...
I'm surprised no one is complaining about Theatrr acting since they also have a harsh environment at times...
@@DarkFrozenDepths SJW aren't really valid to me since most that they do are detrimental at some instances...
They do realize that you could really start a war for trying to get rid of manga/anime lol😂🤣. Theres millions of people who read/watch them
Cept aussies can’t buy a gun without giving a good reason. But a weeb war would be epic, and I’d love to have a country be run by weebs.
@@naprizodenvtuber2529 I have finally found someone who shares my dreams
sadly over here in Aus the law changes very quietly sometimes, it's stupid, so I'm not sure if it has or not for manga classification however i know most books do need classification since the 50 shades of grey issue
Ikr, it gets so annoying. You always have to search shit up so you know you aren't doing something illegal :/
I like how they call it “abuse material”...... when its anime like sword art online... 🤦🏼♂️
I hope these politicians get a whiplash of a life time
I would just pull out of Australia altogether. They're the purest definition of #nofunallowed
I agree that Kinokinyu is between a rock in a hard place. From a quick search in Google, Australian law is based off common law, similar to that used in the UK and US. This means that laws are always being interpreted based off new rulings in the courts of law. Most of the time laws do not change dramatically because previous rulings tend to have a strong precedence, but with particularly old laws or subject matter that has not been regulated, like manga in Australia, it can be a roll of a dice of which way a court decides. Once a court decides that precedent can become very difficult to change. This is why copyright law, at least in the US, is so old and antiquated; No one wants to take it to court and have it ruled in a way that could hurt them.
I imagine Kinokinyu received some pressure from politicians like Ms. Bonaros saying that they would bring manga to the courts for review. Rather risk than having a precedent set that would have all manga potentially reviewed or having the seller liable for sales of manga, Kinokinyu caved and removed certain manga. Ms. Bonaros is likely not to go much further, but may target certain manga again when she feels it would be an easy victory. Going to court is not likely her end goal as a ruling could go against her efforts and be politically embarrassing, or create a unintended precedent that could upset other groups.
We must support our Australian brethren in this situation.
Send spec-ops waifus to get us out of here.

Kinokuniya is a major Japanese bookstore here in NYC. They carry tons of anime
What this boils down to is politicians are trying change the Classification Law and manga is the scapegoat.
As a whole Austrailia's classification system is flawed they have G, PG, MA, MA15, and R. Any age can watch or buy MA or lower while a person under 15 needs to be accompanied by their parent or adult guardian to watch or buy MA15.
This MA15 is problematic so what they want to do is merge MA15 with MA and add a PG12 or 13 rating. To note this system is 25 years old and times have changed.

Politician: i want to ban anime
Japanese Company: *Pillar men theme plays*
Government is banning and censoring media in Australia? It honestly confuses me when a county claims to be "free" but has state censorship, which is what countries like China do. The difference is only in degrees, but not in principle. You're not allowed to publish or buy anything tha the government doesn't like.
Australia is more "soft authoritarian " than it is a democracy...certainly not a republic....theyve been banning/censoring stuff of all kinds for decades.
Guns, video games, anime......basically anything karens dont like.....
Australian Law on Classification of Materials has diverged from UK Law (which it's based upon) in the past 20 years to be *deliberately* difficult to navigate.
Now from a basic standpoint., there is *ZERO* Requirement for Classification for any Media *unless* it is to be Syndicated for Public Broadcast.
So a Direct-to-Video OVA for example., actually is not legally required to be submitted to the Classification Board.
Yet, in practise a Retailer strictly speaking can't get away with this because of other Legislation on Variance of Taxation Cases.
What I mean by that is, what is brought in is specific Media is Taxed Differently depending upon it's Country of Origin, Format, etc.
And the only approach that the Government accepts as "Valid" Classification, is via the Classification Board.
As such, they don't have to change the Law... instead they're adding what on the surface might seem "Unrelated" that is effectively making it illegal to not have to go through Classification.
They did this with Video Games a while back., because they wanted to be able to crack down on them; so they brought in a Special Taxation Rule., where-in if you didn't go through the Classification Board, they'd just assume a Premium Taxation for "Unknown Media"; doing so still increased the VAT,. which was ridiculous hence why Australian Games are so ridiculously expensive with the claim that it was to cover the costs of the need for Classification... but they don't cover that cost for you, you still pay the $2,500 - 5,000 for the Submission and Classification Process.
And as a further note,. as the Australian Classification Board (unlike most other Countries) is actually part of the Government., the Parliament itself can simply chose to deny / override any decisions on Classification Made. To effective Ban said Game.
What they're likely doing is something similar to attempt to Ban Manga, Anime and Light Novels... where-as again under the Core Laws that this is all based upon (UK Law), there is ZERO obligation from the Distributor / Retailer to submit for Classification; it's entirely optional, but as a note Classification *does* come with legal protections.
Believe me we will find a way

Very much doubt they would be selling anything that would obviously be illegal here so they shouldn't realistically be in danger. They may have allowed themselves to be intimidated sufficiently by the idea to pull the material though? The sorts of people who prey on this sort of thing typically rely heavily on intimidation.
Wasn't Australia full of criminals back in the day you would think that they could handle a bit of manga & anime😒
yep
The thirsty Sun bro I agree with banning anime cuz it takes to much time 2 hours to load 2 hour pause every 2 mins but why would 5hey ban manga
australia: ban anime
me: who watch anime on pirate site

I feel like they did that because no one watches their Australian made media, IDK just my theory 🤷♂️
