Recently, it has been rumored that the Chinese Communist Party has officially requested that all Japanese anime on all film platforms be “reviewed first and broadcast later”.

The Communist Party of China (CPC) officials asked the platforms to send Japanese anime to the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) for review and approval of the registration number and the actual review before they can be broadcast. Because of the long review time and the limited number of registration numbers, it is expected that the number of Japanese anime that can be broadcast in China will be greatly reduced in the future, and it will be difficult to see the new works in serialization in the first time.

A number of Japanese anime that B station previously bought the rights exclusively, so far also can not be on the shelves.

The report said, observing the animation broadcast schedule of B station public, in the past and the next week only a few sporadic domestic animation of new serial launch, most days on the schedule are blank.

Some network sources said that in order to circumvent the policy requirements, many Japanese anime on the B site has become “only in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan”, “only in Taiwan”, so that Chinese netizens can “go over the wall The “watch”.

B site originally has more than 200 anime is dedicated to Hong Kong, Macao or Taiwan “exclusive”, “special edition”, official censorship requirements is a major reason. For example, the “Dating Battle (Season 2)”, “Sword and Sworcery Season 2”, and “Attack of the Giants” series, which are only available in Taiwan, are among the 30 works announced by the Chinese Ministry of Culture in March 2015. Chinese netizens can only watch them by “climbing the wall”.

The “calamity” of the B site has caused a large number of Chinese netizens to be unhappy, “Is it really a case of “first to review, then to broadcast”? I have doubts about the chances of new releases passing the trial”, “This will only make me turn to piracy, I’m afraid that the era of anime copyright will revert back to 20 years ago”.
