"All Anime Is Porno" Generalizations In Malayasia
Date: 1/25/2006
The Star Online reports on a Bahasa Malaysia daily front-paged a story about anime, generalising animation with sex as anime. The article caused a furore among anime fans, many of whom thought the generalisation of the word anime was a gross injustice to their passion. Christina Saw, retail supervisor of anime retailers Anime Tech, stressed that it is inaccurate and unacceptable to say that "animation with sex is more popularly known as anime", and that the writer of the article should have been more careful with the words used. The piece concludes by mentioning there are 5 anime and manga retail outlets in Malaysia, Anime Tech is the largest retail chain store. The nation's first ever Anime Festival event was held in Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur, in 2003, drawing 70,000 fans.
