Gundam Seed - Too Sexy For Japan's Youth?
Date: 9/25/2005
That was the issue before a May 24th 2005 meeting of Japan's Broadcasting Ethics and Program Improvement Organization (BPO). There, the Broadcaster's Council For Youth Programs discussed 4 shows after examining viewer opinions collected from April 21th - May 16th. Among them was Mainichi Broadcasting's TV animation Gundam Seed Destiny, specifically the May 14th episode. According to their polled viewers, "There are many sexual expressions for the time slot in which children are watching." It was the conclusional collected view of the council that there was no specific depictions that were especially problematic, although they had received much feedback on the issue. It was decided the series will be monitored for any possible future comment. An earlier 1st series Gundam Seed episode stirred similar controversy where it was implied characters Kira and Flay had sex, technically marking it as the first Gundam work to involve characters in such a way.
