BPO Publishes Viewer Complaint About Anime With 'Sexually Extreme' Content

Japan's Broadcasting Ethics and Program Improvement Organization (BPO) watchdog group recently published viewer complaints from April. One complaint included criticism of a late-night television anime series. The complaint read:

Regarding a late-night anime program, there was extremely obscene content. Because it's an anime work, there is a possibility that children may mistakenly watch it. [The problem] in not limited to this program. I want TV networks and producers to revise their thinking and show restraint with broadcasts of anime programs with content that is too sexually extreme.

Although the complaint does not identify the anime, some online commenters suggested it may refer to Eromanga Sensei.

BPO regularly publishes complaints about anime. A Pokémon Go and its portrayal in news programs.

Other anime to receive complaints published by BPO in the past include NANA.
