Episode 4 of Spy x Family is scheduled to be released this Saturday. However, some people on Twitter (where else would you find them, right?) including Japanese users, are already discussing the episode preview scenes from the manga .
Spy x Family – Episode 4 hasn't even been released yet and it's already been canceled on Twitter
Now I will explain the controversy to you. They are claiming that the series is promoting and encouraging violence in elementary , because in one scene, Lloyd walking towards someone at school with the intention of punching them, see:
Check out even more, some translated user comments:
"In the last episode they already criticized single women, now they're encouraging 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 of the series. How can you not notice the clear reference to violence in a children's school?"
"If I punch my school principal, I get arrested, and the show teaches us that it's okay."
"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? lololololololol)
"Excuse me, 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 were going to be a good story, but encouraging hatred and violence is something I can't stand. I cry just thinking about it. You beat up a cow, you've criticized older, single women, and now this? Unbelievable."
"They used a COW to incite hatred, THEY USED A DEFENSELESS ANIMAL FOR THAT" (They even complained about the cow lolololololololololol)
Clearly, these are comments from people who certainly didn't understand the era and the entire history of the anime , and they think all of this happens in the present day.
So, what did you all think of that? Leave your comment!
