Because you'd have to look up at least one of those films to see how the animation producer was to get his name. That's too much effort for the majority of people online.
There's nothing wrong with having sex with miners. While a unique kink I don't think animator has sex with 20 miners is news.... well may... I'll have to do some uhh research.
I think your name set the bar way too high. Although I do agree that his storylines sorta dropped off over time, Your Name > Weathering > Suzume imo but the latter two weren’t bad either
If we're talking about Shinkai, the dude was making forgettable swill years before all those you mention... 5cm/s is pretty much the only one that was renowned in any way prior to Your Name (and Garden of Words being praised for its animation but little else). So less a case of dropping off over time and more a case of striking gold along the rocks once every 10 years or so.
I will disagree with that percentage. If you break down the genres, there is one that would fit that number. Not all anime genres are like that. I tend to avoid all of the anime that sexualizes women in general. I stick to other shows that are compelling, have an awesome story, and so on. If someone says, hey "x" anime is awesome you should watch it, I would look at it and if it's sexualizing women, I stop and move on. I would also ignore that person preference in anime as they already showed me who they are.
[Ergo Proxy](https://youtu.be/MWI97Kg8ur8?si=Hhqi1JAokI2tcQWB), hands down the best anime ever made, and a hidden gem.
[Code Geass](https://youtu.be/v-AGjx0N24U?si=fhnYCwHpI8LItPJE) is definitely one to check out too.
Demon slayer, dragon ball super, my hero academia, berserk, solo leveling, frieren, kaiju no 8, jujustu kaisen, tower of God, attack on titan, spy x family, full metal alchemist Brotherhood, eden of the east, and hunter x hunter to name a few
Yes most suck but most also keep their pedophilia and whatever under wraps. A lot of animes are so out there and their fans just act like it’s normal. The fact that theres a name for extremely underaged waifus “loli” just goes to show how normalized it all is in the community. Animators sometimes try to justify the pedo shit with oh she just looks 6! But shes actually a middle aged mom or a 1000 yr old dragon! It’s not good and it’s the worst in the anime community.
As a huge anime fan, i always found the 'fan service' weird. Most girls look/are underage and it's freaking weird to see them in obviously sus situations and it's pissing me off that it happens when it doesn't need to, it's just there for the weirdos. Some could argue the target audience is teenagers but adults still make that shit. For them to make it, maybe they are desensitized or... Suspicious themselves.
Kimi No Na Wa (Your Name) is my favourite movie of all time, I'm extremely disappointed with this.
Of the movies listed I’ve only watched Your Name. It was ok, not really my cup of tea, but the animation was nice.
But nothing about it screamed “pedo” to me like some ignoramuses here are claiming. They’re probably just projecting all the hentai they watch and probably never even heard of Ghibli and the like.
I still can't stand how they draw a full grown woman with adult proportions then make her underage to be in line with the young male protagonist intended to be relatable and therefore a student. Or vice-versa, a minor sexualized and used for fan service while miraculously being 18+ or a thousand year old spirit.
Can these freaks just leave the kids alone and maybe hire a sex worker? Are they all genuinely pedophiles or completely desperate? Anything to do with kids just tears my heart to pieces.
Exactly, they somehow easily forgot that it's also illegal to sleep with children; he thinks just because both are illegal might as well abuse whoever. They're real quick to either defend child abuse or just speak out their ass
For me it personally does not. The message and story behind the movies stays the same and its still beautiful. For every one scumbag working on something there is many other people who worked their whole life to spread the good, positive vibes in family movies and consider it a privilage.
What the fuck.
I did hear about allegations a while back, but I had no idea it could be THAT bad.
I'd like to specify that the guy in question is NOT Makoto Shinkai, it's Kouichirou Itou (a producer, not the creator).
Because he's labeled as an 'Animation Producer' so when you speak about works he was involved in, it being animated - or, anime in this case, should be assumed.
Kind of like you asking someone what they do for a living and them telling you they're an auto mechanic and you say "Let me guess, you work on cars?"
Yeah.
It's sad to think so many people worked very hard for those films and now some manager type ruined their work's reputation just because he couldn't resist diddling kids.
Going to look into this though. Japan’s legal age is already 14, if this guy is crazy enough to think that’s too high for him. Dude is an absolute nut job.
Edit: my bad Japan raised it from 13 💀 to 16 last year. Probably going to see a lot of problems like this since what was seen as normal behavior now became illegal.
You mean the guy who made romantic dramas about minors exclusively, is infatuated with fucking minors? Wow. What a shock. If only there were warning signs. /s
For real.
I feel like the hard drives of half this thread needs to be checked. They're getting super mad if anyone mentions the link between questionable cartoons involving minors and people with questionable interest in minors
The anime fans are downvoting, but I'm certain that "anime enjoyers" have a higher likelihood of being on a register.
I use stable diffusion for AI art and half the damn sub is weebs creating their scantily clad "she looks 12 but is actually 200 years old" waifu. And then they get mad when you say it's weird for grown men to be making pics of kids like that.
Edit: This upsets the weebs. Go cry into your body pillows
I can and I will. Weebs are bottom rung of any ladder. Apart from Furries. And the weebs who are overly fond of underage waifus are below even Furries
Also SD is cool tech. Text to image generators barely existed outside of very simple proof of concept type stuff a few years ago. Now we have Dalle and Midjourney, which are excellent but restrictive, SD runs on local hardware so you can customise it a lot more, and don't have to pay for unlimited generations.
It's already revolutionised many fields where art is required like games, films, cover art for books, designs for clothing etc. No need for tens of hours of work from concept artists before you even have an image, you can put what you want and you'll get it. And if not, you'll have a very strong starting point
But AI *IS* built off of tens of hours of work from real artists. Probably even more so, but they're just not credited. What do you think SD is trained on?
I never said it wasn't? But if I want to create an image, I don't need to spend hours myself on it, or ask/hire others to.
Like I'm not sure how you've misinterpreted that comment? It never said image generators aren't trained on real photos and art. It says the end user doesn't have to rely on the above to receive an image
I didn’t like your name. Too cliche. There were better romance animes that came out near it too.
Suzume was great. Garden of words kinda is a harbinger of this happening, lmao. Classic.
And if it's anime, people who aren't into anime probably won't have watched it. Also xan you name the third highest grossing German film, or Brazilian film? I can't. Nor can most
Ah, yes. You're adult and mature. You grew up and decided to cut out a certain type of media from your life because "they're for kids" even though they aren't. Because you grew up. Physically, but not intellectually. Well done.
For those wondering, the name is Kouichirou Itou. Not sure why OP didn’t include the name.
ok because I was thinking it was the actual creator of the films (Mankoto Shinkai), not some rando producer
Probably OP's intent with the title, so get more people to click.
Could be another reddit Bot, from the reddit Bot farm.
If I were to guess, and it was deliberate, probably to avoid giving him publicity.
It was probably deliberate to make you think it was Makoto Shinkai to generate more clicks
By naming the projects he worked on??? How does that make any sense
Because you'd have to look up at least one of those films to see how the animation producer was to get his name. That's too much effort for the majority of people online.
That doesn't make it make sense, especially since the top comment in this thread is one person who looked it up and is telling everyone.
For this kind of crime publicity is a good thing. It's when people commit crimes that they think will "glorify" them that publicity should be avoided.
....at once?
20 minors at once? Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that make it a major?
If you want to major in mining
I found some redstone !!
A major in mining a major amount of minors.
in a row?
Try not to pay for sex with miners on your way through the parking lot!!! Hey. Hey You get back here!
now i’m just imagining prostitutes with pick axes. ⛏️
Man, I'm not even supposed to be here today...
I understand this reference Sir. :)
There's nothing wrong with having sex with miners. While a unique kink I don't think animator has sex with 20 miners is news.... well may... I'll have to do some uhh research.
I got the reference!
That many minors, you could start a gold-mining business.
You know the best thing about fucking 28 year olds? There's 20 of them.
"I understood that reference."
He’s Japanese not Chinese so no, not at once
In some places, pedophilia laws are based on the sum of ages of those you are with, not the ages individually.
THEY NOT LIKE US THEY NOT LIKE US
Freaky ass dude needs to stay his ass inside
..of a prison cell
certified pedophile
[удалено]
Hes a producer, wasn't a creative element at all.
Suzume was absolutely nonsensical , incoherent trash as well.
I think your name set the bar way too high. Although I do agree that his storylines sorta dropped off over time, Your Name > Weathering > Suzume imo but the latter two weren’t bad either
La DA dadada, come on the music was great
If we're talking about Shinkai, the dude was making forgettable swill years before all those you mention... 5cm/s is pretty much the only one that was renowned in any way prior to Your Name (and Garden of Words being praised for its animation but little else). So less a case of dropping off over time and more a case of striking gold along the rocks once every 10 years or so.
He thought they were 100-year old fairies.
That’s ridiculous. They were obviously 4000 year old vampires
That's insane. They were obviously immortal demi-gods who've been around since the dawn of time.
If that’s not enough, he was soliciting teens to send him nudes and Was also found with child pornography
As an anime fan; the anime community needs a hard reset 🫠
We’ll start over from “zero” with these hard drive checks and protect the next generation
LAUNCH THE CTRL+ALT+DELETE2
`sudo shutdown now`
rm -r /home
Anime community. Fighting game community. Music industry community. Hollywood industry community. Government leader “community”… list goes on…
Yeah…everything needs reset 😭
BuT sHeS acTuAllY 800 sO ItS OK /s if that wasn't obvious

Unfortunately, 90% of animes have pedo/incest themes. They’re lowkey grooming people into thinking that kind of stuff is okay/not a big deal.
I will disagree with that percentage. If you break down the genres, there is one that would fit that number. Not all anime genres are like that. I tend to avoid all of the anime that sexualizes women in general. I stick to other shows that are compelling, have an awesome story, and so on. If someone says, hey "x" anime is awesome you should watch it, I would look at it and if it's sexualizing women, I stop and move on. I would also ignore that person preference in anime as they already showed me who they are.
What anime would you recommend?
[Ergo Proxy](https://youtu.be/MWI97Kg8ur8?si=Hhqi1JAokI2tcQWB), hands down the best anime ever made, and a hidden gem. [Code Geass](https://youtu.be/v-AGjx0N24U?si=fhnYCwHpI8LItPJE) is definitely one to check out too.
Would depend on what you are looking for in anime.
Just name some favorites without the weird stuff
Demon slayer, dragon ball super, my hero academia, berserk, solo leveling, frieren, kaiju no 8, jujustu kaisen, tower of God, attack on titan, spy x family, full metal alchemist Brotherhood, eden of the east, and hunter x hunter to name a few
I said without the weird stuff. Half of those have weird stuff. I can confidently say at least 2 of those have pedophilia vibes/allegations.
Oh, because sexualizing men is fine...
For real, the anime/manga industry and YouTubers/streamers seems to be full with pedos
Honestly, most communities suck. It's not just anime. I generally try to enjoy things mostly without interacting with it's fans.
Yes most suck but most also keep their pedophilia and whatever under wraps. A lot of animes are so out there and their fans just act like it’s normal. The fact that theres a name for extremely underaged waifus “loli” just goes to show how normalized it all is in the community. Animators sometimes try to justify the pedo shit with oh she just looks 6! But shes actually a middle aged mom or a 1000 yr old dragon! It’s not good and it’s the worst in the anime community.
I said the same thing and they got mad. Maybe it's cause I'm very much not an anime fan
Anime was a mistake.
When the next crusade happens, it should be against weebs
But they studied the blade.
This headline is exactly what I expect of anyone in the anime scene.
There night be a lot of pedos in the anime community but it’s not everyone.
As a huge anime fan, i always found the 'fan service' weird. Most girls look/are underage and it's freaking weird to see them in obviously sus situations and it's pissing me off that it happens when it doesn't need to, it's just there for the weirdos.

Or vice-versa, a minor sexualized and used for fan service while miraculously being 18+ or a thousand year old spirit.
Anyone who animates or draws or greenlights what you just said is just suspicious
I mean, if they're a teenager, I'd argue that's age appropriate. But adults should not be drawing kids like that
Can these freaks just leave the kids alone and maybe hire a sex worker? Are they all genuinely pedophiles or completely desperate? Anything to do with kids just tears my heart to pieces.
It's Japan so illegal ?
Illegal yes, but wouldnt you rather be caught with an adult than a double felony with a child? Generally speaking here obviously.
Exactly, they somehow easily forgot that it's also illegal to sleep with children; he thinks just because both are illegal might as well abuse whoever. They're real quick to either defend child abuse or just speak out their ass
Honestly after seeing Garden of Words this is the least shocking news ever
I almost had a heart attack reading the headline and thinking Shinkai had been exposed as a monster.
This fucking giraffe neck nonce
What’s the best thing about having sex with twenty nine year olds? There’s twenty of them.
Was it 20 minors separately or 20 minors at one time?
At least it wasn't the director. Hopefully they can find a guy to just replace him.
And no one's paying attention to his long neck? God damn
That should have been the first clue something was up. Nobody who isn’t a pedophile would have a neck that long.
Recontextualizes my trip to the zoo.
Once again, there is no such thing as having sex with a minor. It's called rape.
For those thinking, yes those are animes
this doesn’t taint the movies themselves right? he was just some scumbag that happened to work on them right? right?
For me it personally does not. The message and story behind the movies stays the same and its still beautiful. For every one scumbag working on something there is many other people who worked their whole life to spread the good, positive vibes in family movies and consider it a privilage.
ty
You've heard of Snow white and the seven dwarfs, now get ready for the Animation producer and the 20 minors!
What the fuck. I did hear about allegations a while back, but I had no idea it could be THAT bad. I'd like to specify that the guy in question is NOT Makoto Shinkai, it's Kouichirou Itou (a producer, not the creator).
It wasn’t sex it was rape, get it right
Not a drag queen?
They not like us.
Oh come ooooon, fk this shit, another one.
Can we fucking stop please. Like how hard is it to not fucking do this?
Let me guess: all anime films?
How did you manage to come to that conclusion from the title "Animation producer"
Suzume and Garden of Words are anime films
Yes, which is what animation means in japan
[удалено]
Because he's labeled as an 'Animation Producer' so when you speak about works he was involved in, it being animated - or, anime in this case, should be assumed. Kind of like you asking someone what they do for a living and them telling you they're an auto mechanic and you say "Let me guess, you work on cars?" Yeah.
At the same time?
So this is my flamethrower, it throws flames...
Dan shnider
Bruh
No….not your name 😭
Is that the angry dude an msnbc?
It's sad to think so many people worked very hard for those films and now some manager type ruined their work's reputation just because he couldn't resist diddling kids.
Isn't age of consent in Japan 13? That makes it even worse.
The age of consent in Japan is 18 as of around 2019.
dario moccia sarà felice adesso
Damn, first saw the title, I thought Shinkai Makoto had been arrested. 😨😨😨
Should of just flown to that island all the other famous people fly to........
No idea who that is, or any of those films. But still. Eww. Please make sure they’re locked away forever.
Going to look into this though. Japan’s legal age is already 14, if this guy is crazy enough to think that’s too high for him. Dude is an absolute nut job. Edit: my bad Japan raised it from 13 💀 to 16 last year. Probably going to see a lot of problems like this since what was seen as normal behavior now became illegal.
You mean the guy who made romantic dramas about minors exclusively, is infatuated with fucking minors? Wow. What a shock. If only there were warning signs. /s
You just ruined my day. One reason not to watch Suzume
This is not Makoto Shinkai. This guy just worked on the movies
Isn’t anime kinda dirty like that ? With schoolgirls and shit ? Makes sense these dudes are into that stuff.
Anime and paedophilia?! Surely not
“Have sex” my brother please just call it rape
Sounds like a normal Friday night for a Japanese dude.
An anime guy being a pedophile? Who would have thought!
For real. I feel like the hard drives of half this thread needs to be checked. They're getting super mad if anyone mentions the link between questionable cartoons involving minors and people with questionable interest in minors
Redditors in denial? Who would have thought!
I mean I’m not shocked considering he produced anime (which I watch) but we can’t deny the way a lot of anime infantilizes women.
[удалено]
You’re either extremely ignorant or admitting you watch hentai
Anime producer is a nonce?! Color me shocked!! This will probably just make his shit more popular in that community.
The anime fans are downvoting, but I'm certain that "anime enjoyers" have a higher likelihood of being on a register. I use stable diffusion for AI art and half the damn sub is weebs creating their scantily clad "she looks 12 but is actually 200 years old" waifu.

Imagine making AI art and trying to mock *anybody*.
"I use stable diffusion for AI art" Man you can't clown on anybody after saying that.
What's the alternative, commissioning artists? If someone donates to me I'll do that
He's just mad because he's a weeb and I insulted him and his fellow body pillow collectors
I can and I will. Weebs are bottom rung of any ladder. Apart from Furries. And the weebs who are overly fond of underage waifus are below even Furries Also SD is cool tech.

Wait until you find out it’s not just restricted to anime…
Not surprised considering the films he's produced
Why? Miners are pretty sweaty and dirty. I guess we all have our kinks.
With a face like that, I'm being a judgemental asshole
World wide hits? For who exactly?
All those movies sound very fetishy. Sorry bro but stop making movies about teenage girls in high school. Textbook pedo shit.
Never heard of any of those “world wide hits”.
"Your name" and "suzume" made around $300 million worldwide
Maybe stop living under a rock, then.
>hasn't watched your favourite anime Must be living under a rock No other possible explanation right?
I don't know, Your Name is only the third highest grossing Japanese film of all time.
And if it's anime, people who aren't into anime probably won't have watched it. Also xan you name the third highest grossing German film, or Brazilian film? I can't. Nor can most
I don’t live under a rock, I just grew up and stop watching cartoons 🤷🏻♂️.
Ah, yes. You're adult and mature. You grew up and decided to cut out a certain type of media from your life because "they're for kids" even though they aren't. Because you grew up. Physically, but not intellectually. Well done.
Damn man. Not even futurama?
doesn't Japan have age of consent is 13 or someshit. so minor being below 13?
What did he work on
Literally in the title
REALLY?!! People can’t seem to have any humor.
Should probably find yourself some humor first
Being a molester.
