Tokyo Loli Ban Will Include Evangelion
It’s a proposal, not law… as of now, hopefully ever.
Basically, it would keep the slightest depictions of minors in sexual situations from those under 18.
Sankaku Complex:
The authors of the Tokyo loli ban have been busily trying to quell a storm of criticism by “clarifying” their proposal in a way which still allows them to get as much of it through as possible, and in the process appear to have slipped up and claimed that Evangelion’s raunchier scenes would not be banned, despite having just explained in the same document that similar scenes would be banned as harmful to minors in all but “adult” publications.
….
Evangelion in fact includes scenes of masturbation and similar, meaning it would likely fall squarely within the remit of the ban – Tokyo would thus legally require Evangelion DVDs and manga to be sat in the adult section along with “hardcore” pornography, likely a death knell for sales and sure to have a chilling effect on any future titles intended to reach a wider audience.
Of course, it makes no sense to associate this scene with hardcore porn. It’s a crucial look at Shinji’s broken pyche. His emotions are so disturbed that he loses sight of the conventional boundaries he once adhered to. The accidental reveal of Auska’s breasts pushes him to do something he would not have done in his normal state: masturbate to a comatose Asuka. Confused, Shinji laments, “I’m so fucked up.”
