Kodomo no Jikan official blog on TV Saitama
The producer for the Kodomo no Jikan anime has written on the official blog about the current situation. He says that he was actually informed on Friday that the anime was in danger of getting removed by TV Saitama, due to the series of recent violent juvenile crimes that took place in Japan.
He feels that there was no way anybody could relate the anime to the recent murders, and is not satisfied with the reason that he has been provided, as he had even censored parts of the anime as the TV station had requested.
He was actually told on Friday that they hadn’t made an official decision on the matter yet and they would give him a proper answer on Tuesday, but they removed the anime from their schedule and removed their links to the kojika website on Friday itself without saying a word. He still hasn’t gotten any official word from TV Saitama yet so he expects that he would get an answer on Tuesday.
The producer also says that it’s actually the 2nd time that an anime that he’s working on gets taken off a TV station. The first time, they actually told him that they took the anime off to protect the pride of the TV station, so he strangely feels that the reason that TV Saitama has given isn’t that bad when he compares the two.
