>have watched at least a hundred anime with high school as a setting
>literally not a single one where students throw a party and get black-out drunk or smoke some weed
Has Japan as a society totally overcome these social issues or does the government censor depictions of this?
Have watched at least a hundred anime with high school as a setting
Well, that sounds not PG-friendly.
Japan probably doesn't have a high school for niggers like the one you went to.
Nichibros
That's reserved for college.
black out drinking is for salarymen and weed is illegal
>students throw a party and get black-out drunk or smoke some weed
Do Americans really ?
I went to high school in rural Germany. We didn't even have muslim kids. Just because you weren't invited doesn't mean it didn't happen lmao.
Doesn't have anything even close to resembling the parties that are regularly thrown in the rest of the first world.
Since when do high school students care?
>Fantasy or sci-fi setting
>Character is a fairly old teen
>Turns down alcohol because it's illegal at that age
normalfag get off my board
Man, talking about censorship, it was South Park's influence of adult content anime.
Heh. True.
Everything except drugs is illegal.
Just ask Comedy Central for that.
Weed is extremely illegal. They don't just casually deal it in school parking lots over there. Depictions of underage drinking are strongly discouraged on TV.
europeans do it even more lol
There's always mature people doing like this.
Is it because you're watching dubs where they start blushing after drinking "juice"?
I wouldn't exactly call it maturity, but yeah.
And? I'm sure it still happens. Were all TV anime writers just virgins who didn't have a life in high school? Is that why they write idealized high school rom-com dramas in the first place?
nigga no one smokes weed in nippon
you cant find it anywhere
they are a proper alcoholic and nicotine country
The government censors it
High schoolers are not allowed to drink alcohol in anime unless they are delinquents
This is why you'll occassionally see disclaimers that characters are actually drinking juice not alcohol, and that they are 'getting drunk off the atmosphere'
>nigga no one smokes weed in nippon you can't find it anywhere
Doubt.
where do you think weed comes from? It's hard enough to even get that shit in the country. only musicians, actors and yakuza can smoke that shit with immunity it's a social suicide to admit smoking grass
Yup, I know.
Have you ever watch FLCL? There's a moment where a man having his own haircut. I found it parodied South Park's style, but, I will say that was the influence of it.
Lol. That's bullying.
I don't know, but let's find it out.
Censorship always matter.
I think house parties never really became a thing in Japan because homes there are relatively small, heck most venues where you meet your friends appear to be fairly small too.
I think it might also be a cultural thing where you only do stuff like that with close friends, and don't invite a bunch of random to your house.
Japan probably isn't a shithole country like yours
Read 90s manga
They kinda did in high school of the dead.
Although I guess that stopped being in a high school setting 3 episodes in...
Ha ha, silly fool, all countries will be shitholes when the post Carona chan economic depression hits.
Stop watching romcoms and start watching manly delinquent anime.
"It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear"
>smoking weed is forbidden and dishonorabu in any fashion or media
>meanwhile selling toddlercon guro gangrape scat art is okay
lmao
And if it isn't corona it will be climate change (please don't flame me pol-chan).
At least they can censor everything, with less nudity and strong depictions of drugs and alcohol.
why are you on Yas Forums if you know fuckall about how japan works? this has to be bait.
Togashi definitely smokes some weed from time to time. Now the only question is what other shounen authors do?
toddlercon guro gangrape scat art never hurt anyone
Anime has been targeted to the mature-friendly weebs now. There's no denying that censorship stills goes on till this day.
"Better safe than sorry, better safe than sorry!"
And don't forget about violence.
Just look at every single anime. Some of them are not very PG-friendly.
weed is for niggers and people who think nigger culture is cool.
modern g*rman highschool kids are basically niggers, as well as everyone who unironically smokes weed. The only place you'll ever find weed in japan is Osaka, and that's only if you know where in Osaka to look.
OP is basically just a nigger
Just because you and your special ed buddies went somewhere to challenge yourself with the task of breathing in hipster tobacco smoke doesn't mean you're cool. If you have to announce yourself as cool, you're not.
Just don't do illegal things. That's easy.
Both censorship and because probably weed isn't that popular in Japan, maybe teenagers do other kind of drugs.
B-but I didn't? I wasn't even one of the cool kids.
Because it's illegal to portray minors doing alcohol or other illicit substances in Japan
Tune in next time on Censorship Z!
>Weed is for niggers
Found the virgin
It's hard to say, the censorship was everywhere. Imagine when Snoop Dogg was in, and he's like: "Wanna smoke some weed?" And then, the Japanese people be like: "No, thanks." So, weed isn't that supportive on anime. So, only drugs were there.
You lost me in the second half of your post.
The problem is there's majority of them, including censoring some blood and gore. And the only target on this was those young adults.
Of course. Drugs, sex and alcohol were the main problems against censorship.
found the Yas Forumsirgin. weed really got lame anyways, just like rap and memes. every staple of the last decade is embarrassingly lame and i hope the next generation is better than gen z at forging ahead and shaking shit up.
Drugs are eternal, dude. People have been drinking alcohol for ten thousand years and smoking weed for a thousand. They'll still be smoking weed and getting shitfaced drunk in a hundred years.
I cringed again when reading this. Weird talk about drugs and clinical trails on a murder gang ship like it matters.
It's random as fuck, that's for sure. It's weird he even got away with including this in a shounen jump publication. It's also called "clean leaf" in the original, VIZ left the leaf part out for some reason.
Mixers with college students, drinks and hooking up? That's a thing in manga.
Easy. Most people who read mangas and watch anime don't do this.
So many posts and only one mentioning Japanese censorship laws that don't allow any drug consumption for minors in media.
>What is cultural difference
>does the government censor depictions of this?
Yes.
Konosuba characters drink underaged.
user, drugs are still a thing in japan.
School Rumble had a lot of underage drinking in the manga, but in the anime they were just drinking juice. I'm from Freedomland so not sure if it's underage drinking in Japan, but even if it wasn't. It was odd to see that change from manga to anime
Could you get around these government censors by just having characters passing around a black bar in a backalley and then have them act wasted? That would make for a great scene in a comedy.
Did you forget about how Pierre Taki was erased from all media after getting caught with cocaine? Treated worse than Watsuki who was caught with literal CP? They take drugs seriously there.
Togashi no longer has fucks to give. He does whatever he wants.
Yeah. It's the reason why there's a lot of alcohol references throughout these years.
Okay, let me see what we got.
Those weebs will have that taste.
It's not "discouraged", it's actually banned. The only change Kyoani made to Haruhi back in 2006 was removing drinking scenes on the remote island because they just couldn't do them.
Even manga started to get strict on underage drinking and smoking when the 2020 thing was announced.
