Will they remove Smoking Behind The Supermarket with You as well?
showing actual tobacco brand is a clear violation of the act. I think the anime will be restored with the brand masked soon.
I’ve watched a few episodes and I felt the series lacks substance (pun intended)
Honestly, I have to agree with that. Cigarettes are gross. Tobacco is gross. And watching an episode of this made me feel gross.
Not that removing it will stop most people from watching it lol, but it is a message: “Cigarettes are bad, m’kay?”
I only saw a couple episodes, but it seems that making you feel gross is the point…
I’ve seen a lot of media that glorifies smoking, but little that makes cigarettes look as disgusting as chainsmoker cat.
For that reason, I kinda feel like banning it on the basis that it encourages smoking is misguided.

Perhaps it’s less about whether it encourages smoking and more about whether it runs afoul of laws concerning the depiction of real-life cigarette brands on TV. I don’t know Taiwanese advertising law though!
A cynical part of me wonders whether the people making the show did this on purpose to generate headlines since anime are usually carefully made with no direct references to real-life brands.
as someone who smoked for years watching this hit close to home and made me not want to smoke. The first few episodes were like “yeah I’ve done that”. smoking butts, finding a “long one” and being thrilled about it. being broke and trying to make a pack last until next pay day only to smoke them all in a day. smoking one that had a bit of “slime” on it. It’s pathetic and indeed gross and i think that’s the whole point of the show. you can’t watch that and idolize the characters, they’re gross.
No you see, we, adults, have to conform art to snoons’s sensibilities. If the Anti Press Authoritarian says it’s gross, then even 三國演義 needs to go, accordingly to Taiwanese law!
We wouldn’t want gross things now, would we?
Hey AntiBullyRanger just wanted to say some things cause your point’s not wrong, in fact I’d agree with most if not all of them.
Just one thing:
You might want to try being less antagonistic when arguing your points as it just makes people want to disagree with you even though the person you’re arguing against might also be on the same side as you.I find it really unfortunate but reading the current comment chain (as of Aug 21 @10 a.m. UTC) gave me this impression of what’s going on.
Fair. I suppose the episode I seen was more blase about it, like it was just normal for all the characters in the show to smoke which isn’t good, but could be worse.
In episode 1, the main character is so addicted to cigarettes she smokes a few that had fallen into feces on the street…
Go be a gross anti-press authoritarian elsewhere, bum.
no
People who encourage harmful behaviors shouldn’t be platformed.
Hey man, what’s up with your username?
I’m sure your guardians beat the shit out of you to say such an asinine line, but this isAdult 🌈Fiction✨
Impressionable minds shouldn’t be watching adult cartoons.
Now go ban the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if you utterly believe this asinine lie.
Chill the fuck out, why are you so hostile?
You never had your things stolen?
Your mouth gagged?
You’re arms amputated?You shouldn’t be asking me why I am hostile to Anti-Press Authoritarians.
Did you misread my bio?
“Anti-press authoritarian”; I saw the “free” press all fall in line after 9/11, and everyone who broke rank essentially get blacklisted, while those who peddled lies kept their jobs, some of whom are lying for Israel right now.
A “free” press under capitalism is one that is owned by billionaires.
You are still replying to me, after I detailed you exactly why I hate AntiPress Authoritarians. You seem to misunderstand your current predicament.
Why shouldn’t I just ask @sal@mander.xyz to teach you a direct lesson on the requirements of a free and civil society, the right to press shall not be infringed?
