These FAKE ASS white SJW’s (Social Justice Warriors) need to shut the fuck up. These people cannot help themselves. They’re always wanting to dictate and change something that is different than they are. Anime was created for and by Japanese people. These talented amazing people decided decades ago to invest in the U.S market. The U.S liked what they saw. Anime is created of different genres much like you would find in live action movies and television shows. Many of them have adult themes and very expressive unique storytelling. That can’t be told through live action dramas , comedies, or horror flicks etc. These White SJW’s have influenced one artist from Japan and it’s sad because I and I’m sure the Japanese some Japanese people would agree. WHY are you wanting CHANGE What works for the Japanese and American audience? WHY would you want to appease these SJW’s? These SJW’s probably don’t even look at these anime they probably don’t even know what anime is . If these SJW’s got what they wanted Attack on Titan would be trash. I was BLOCKED by Keiko Moritsugu. For simply giving my respectful opinion of the matter. WOW these SJW’s have tainted Her independent thinking . No screenshot of what I wrote but it doesn’t matter because it’s still up I just can’t tweet her back. Idgaf though. It must be nice to be able to block those you disagree with. It can be refreshing to hear or read other people’s opinions; viewpoints. This would be healthy dialogue. You would have in person but people can’t do that anymore. Folks are so afraid to give their opinions and their thoughts so they shut down. To be able to give your opinions and your thoughts is the most liberating thing imaginable . #sometimesihatesocialmedia

Keiko Moritsugu, a Pokemon concept artist and character designer as well as CG artist for Doraemon, took to Twitter to criticize the Anime industry and it’s willingness to service fans. She went on to condemn the sexy fan service seen in much of Anime.

She also stated that she wished the industry would evolve like Disney and Marvel by “interweaving” social issues within their products.

Keiko Moritsugu took to Twitter on the issue. Using Google Translate it reads:

“The ability to update the quality of Disney and Marvel movies every year is something that has become a contentious issue in the real world. Japan anime can’t do that anymore. “If you mix the erotica, you can fool the geeks, right? Because I’m making in the methodology.”

One Angry Gamer’s translation provides a bit more detail.

“Disney and Marvel films are in a position where each year they improve their quality, because they take actual societal issues and incorporate them into the middle of the script while interweaving them into difficult criticisms of the world.

Japanese animated films are not capable of doing that at this time.

How do we blend in erotic fan-service to swindle otaku out of their money?’ seems to be the current methodology to produce content in Japan.”

As you’d expect, Moritsugu’s message resonated with the growing Social Justice elements trying to influence the Japanese anime industry. Her comment received over 2,500 likes and over a thousand retweets.

With one user agreeing to a point about the change they believed should happen in Anime but stating that Marvel and Dinsey wasn’t the way:

Moritsugu Keiko took her message further. She would point to the movie Zootopia as an example. She said that if it were made in Japan people would be up in arms claiming it was made for minorities and feminists:

Anime in recent years, like video games, has seen a growing social justice movement within the industry.

We’ve seen rumblings of this in January, when a number outlets refused to review Crunchyroll and Kadokawa’s The Rising of the Shield Hero. In fact, not only did a number of outlets refuse to review the show, but they attacked the show for including a false rape allegation as a plot point. Kadokawa Producer Junichiro Tamura would address the “controversy” revealing there isn’t one in Japan. “We in Japan do not see these anime as controversial, so we will continue to produce more content like Shield Hero.”

In fact, just last month, it was revealed the novel and manga adaptation of the The Rising of the Shield Hero had printed over 6.2 million copies in Japan since it first hit the market in August 2013. Yusagi had previously reported that the novel and manga series had been printed over 4 million times on February 25,2019. That means there have been 1.2 million printings in less than 2 months!

Rising of the Shield Hero is not the only anime to face criticism. Sword Art Online author Reki Kawahara allegedly noted that he should write stories with “political correctness” in mind after visiting fans in the West.

What do you make of Keiko Moritsugu’s opinions on the anime industry? Do you think the inddustry needs to change? Or do you agree with her detractors that the social justice agenda should be kept out of anime?
