“Is This Really Okay to Put on TV?” Japanese Fans Rank the Least Broadcast-Safe Anime

“Is This Really Okay to Put on TV?” Japanese Fans Rank the Least Broadcast-Safe AnimeIf you’ve ever watched an anime series and wondered how exactly it met broadcast standards, well, you’re not alone. Ranking site Goo asked its readers to rank the TV anime they were shocked actually made it to air, and these are the barely-safe-for-broadcast results:

10. Neon Genesis Evangelion
9. Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist
8. Sōryo to Majiwaru Shikiyoku no Yoru ni…
7. Yosuga no Sora
6. School Days
5. To Love-Ru
4. Higurashi When They Cry
3. Tokyo Ghoul
2. Mr. Osomatsu
1. Gintama

Interesting to see the results include series that are barely-safe for a variety of reasons: some of these shows are known for extreme violence, others for crude humor and a few for, uh, sexy times.

Any series you can think of?
