Episode 4 of Spy x Family is scheduled to be released this Saturday. However, some people on Twitter (where else would it be, right?) including the Japanese, are already discussing the preview and relating it to scenes from the manga .
Spy x Family – Episode 4 hasn't even been released and it's already been canceled by Twitter
Now I'll explain the controversy to you. They're claiming that the series is transmitting and encouraging violence in children's , because in one scene, Loid to be going towards someone at the school with the intention of punching him. See:
Check out some more comments from translated users:
"In the last episode they already criticized single women, now they encourage violence in a children's school, how can an animation like this be so successful? The world is lost, I'm crying"
“Now I know Anya’s role, she serves to hide the rottenness that the series goes through, how come you’re not noticing the clear reference to violence in a children’s school?”
“If I punch the principal of my school I get arrested, and the series teaches us that this is a cool thing to do.”
“I can't understand the success of a story that should be excluded from society”
“My parents watched the first few episodes with me and when they saw the preview for the next one, they forbade me from watching it” (what? lol)
“I'm sorry, but here in Japan, if we continue to encourage hatred in our schools, we will become a dead country.”
“Okay, Spy x Family, I thought you would be a good story, but encouraging hate and violence, I can't stand it. I cry just thinking about it. You hit a cow, you already criticized older women who are single, and now this? Unbelievable.”
“They used a COW to encourage hatred, THEY USED A DEFENSELESS ANIMAL FOR THIS” (They even complained about the cow lol)
Clearly these are comments from people who certainly didn't understand the time period and the entire history of the anime and think that this all happens today.
Anyway, what did you think of this? Leave your comment!
