I'm about 30 episodes behind on crunchy but now I want to watch that episode even though I probably won't get the reference, now that its been banned somewhere...
Funny that. |

The anime industry sure is cowardly these days.

No .. the anime was brave ... the broadcaster was a coward, although I don't know if coward is the right word when you have lawyers breathing down your neck. |

Where are you going to pirate it from if it wasn't broadcast? |

Not sure what you are saying here. It was the TV broadcaster that pulled the plug on re-airing the episode. It was an anime production company that originally produced the episode. |

"So here's another episode of Gintama, living on the edge."
I guess they didn't realize how true that was. |

Frankly, I'm surprised that it took this long for a Gintama episode to be pulled for one reason or another. This is, after all, the same show in which I remember someone pooping on the head of a shogun... the South Park of the anime world.

I think some of the conflicting reports are due to intentional plausible deniability where a representative of the party may do it on their own without informing the people parodied. So I believe it's true that they themselves didn't contact or order people to contact TV-Tokyo.
In any case, though it's understandable, it still sucks and either they need to get more balls or defamation laws are too loose or broad (ala UK) |

It was broadcasted originally, just not on other networks afterwards. Its not a big deal though, its just making fun of some Japanese politician. |
