Crunchyroll's Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia divides viewers with its portrayal of Mongolian history and religions.

From the article:

Here’s where the controversy lies: Viewers have reacted on two fronts - one, due to how Islam and Muslims are portrayed, and then about the mere presence of those subjects in the first place.

For those who have seen it, what do you think?

    This is not Jaadugar, but there was an issue of CoroCoro Comics pulled because of how a manga depicted Genghis Khan after complaints from Mongolian people living in Japan and the Mongolian embassy.

    So this sort of thing does happen. I know next to nothing about Mongolian culture or how they balance the reverence many apparently have for Genghis Khan with the historical reality that he had a lot of people slaughtered or enslaved, so I can’t say how these same people would react to Jaadugar’s depiction of the Mongols, but I imagine it might be the reason why it didn’t depict Genghis Khan’s face.
