China’s state news media stated yesterday that the government is to ban 38 Japanese comics and animated series for what they describe as “severely improper content” regarding the use of violence and terror.
These include the international hit comics Attack On Titan and Death Note as well as the cartoon TV series Terror in Resonance.
Dozens of internet providers have also been fined for hosting comics and anime that fall foul of this guideline, while eight websites have been shut down, with the government stating “by providing illegal contents, these companies violated regulations on Internet cultural management, audio and visual programs and services”

According to Liu, more titles will be added to the blacklist as the crackdown on online comics and animations intensifies, and repeat offenders will have their business licenses revoked.
