by “Kimetsu no Yaiba” started by Yukaku. The broadcast of the first episode became a big topic on Twitter. It’s a new chapter after the TV version of the infinite train edition, so it must be even more exciting in the future.
On the other hand, in a previous article, I mentioned a protest against BPO against “Theatrical version” Kimetsu no Yaiba “Infinite Train Edition” broadcasted on Fuji TV from 21:00 on September 25, 2021. It’s a street. BPO said, “All the committee members will watch and discuss again .” What happened as a result of the meeting.
Viewer opinion
First, because the viewer comments received is “PG12 or How about things to broadcast the specified strong there is a brutal scene movie of the stimulus,” “broadcast starting at 21, too grotesque for children” thing called.
I (Nakazawa) felt a little unexpected about this matter because the BPO made it a “discussion again.” BPO expressed the following opinions when viewers’ opinions similar to the special edition of the first season of anime, which was also broadcast in September, came in.
Opinions such as “I think the movie is a big hit and is accepted” and “It is understood by the world that you should oversee it.” (Quoted from the Broadcast Ethics and Program Improvement Organization website)
Although the movie version is designated as PG12, is there a possibility that the correspondence will change if we discuss it again? As I am looking forward to the anime series, I am worried that it will not affect the Yukaku edition.
Expression of Devil’s Blade
On the other hand, I think it is certain that the expression of Gloy appears fairly usually on the blade of devilishness. In particular, the movie version has bare-bones tentacles with eyeballs, and in short, it is made without compromise, even in late-night anime.
That’s why I like it as a person who has been exposed to various late-night anime, but I think it’s different from “ONE PIECE.” So, it’s understandable that viewers’ opinions like the one above wouldn’t be zero.
Results of discussion
Now, what are the views of the committee members who watched such a movie version together about these protests? The results of the discussion are as follows.
Some members were concerned about the expression of body separation without a neck, not to mention the color of blood, but “if you think of it as a human-like monster, it is acceptable” and “PG12. The designated movie was organized around 21:00, and we could see the consideration. ” (Quoted from the Broadcast Ethics and Program Improvement Organization website)
Although there were some concerns, it seems that the discussion ended with the opinion that “tolerance” and “consideration was seen.”
Well, whether you see it or not, it’s the time when children see it from 21:00. However, I think that Kimetsu no Yaiba is a highly moral work in which evil is depicted as evil and good is depicted as good, so I hope that both adults and BPOs will understand it. I can’t.
