Top 20 Most Controversial Anime Moments of All Time

[Music] B welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our pics for the most infamous anime scenes that sparked full-on [Music] [Applause] scandals number 20 the end of Aaron Jager Attack on Titan after 10 years almost 800 episodes and more Jew dropping moments than we can count the ending of attack on on Titan was never going to please everyone especially since it committed to killing off Aaron Jer himself the vengeful alian spent the show's final season as a total Renegade so some vocal fans weren't happy to see him die as a crying kid mourning the life he could have had with [Music] mikaza it's a moving moment in a fantastic final episode but clearly a subset of the fan base would have preferred to see Aaron go out on the top of his game either way no one's forgetting this finale anytime [Music] soon number 19 lovers quarrel Aro like most romance anime protagonists koske has girls practically banging down his door but he doesn't want any of them he only has eyes for his little sister kirino unfortunately she has eyes for him too what look it's one thing to hint at an unsavory relationship and another entirely to show a brother and sister pretending to get married as you can imagine it didn't take long for the masses to condemn Aro for its gross Central pairing there were even a select view defending kyos and kirino's romance which only stirred up even more controversy given that the show is a very acquired taste it's not even worth arguing about anymore plus kurano was obviously best girl number 18 episode 4 Gan Lagan seon's time inside the titula mech may be considered a modern classic these days but not every one of its episodes was as warmly received at the time looking at you episode 4 helmed by a guest director the divisive installment used a very eclectic art style that left many wanting fans were extremely critical and made sure gur and lagan's production company gyx knew it in response gx's co-founder made some not so professional comments comparing fan criticism to his behind their only fuel the fire and eventually he was forced to resign altogether after all the hubub it's a wonder guran Lagan is still as belov it as it is number 17 what's in the dish the pet girl of sakuro when it comes to anime cooking food for a sick friend seems as innocent as you can get but somehow this show found itself in hot water anyway viewers noticed that jyn prepared Korean food for his pal instead of the Japanese dish he makes in the source material through some wild leaps in logic fans began arguing the show was an offensive marketing ployee for Korean grub despite assurances from the production company things only got worse when a future episode edited out the Japanese national anthem [Music] whether intentional or not the pet girl of sakuro is now remembered more for its scandals than its plots number 16 impersonation evasion Gintama even a show as funny as Gintama can go too far sometimes in the name of a good joke they released an episode in 2011 featuring some biting critiques for a well-regarded Japanese politician he didn't take kindly to being parodied though the word defamation started getting thrown around a lot and before things got messy the episode was yanked from Airwaves and heavily sensored you can still watch it on streaming sites to this day but just be prepared for a lot of bleeps and black bars honestly given gint as subject matter it's surprising stuff like this doesn't happen more more often number 15 Karin's peely whites n monat there's a lot of feelings that come to mind when watching a scene like this the first of course being plain and simple discomfort while the monog gaty franchise is far from kid-friendly koyomi's up close and personal look into Karin's mouth was something else the question is in what direction fans spent weeks debating the scene's creative merits is it plain and simple fan service an animation Flex or is it just meant to make you squir no one knew for sure but boy did everyone have an opinion who knew dental hygiene could cause such a [Music] fuss number 14 the cabbages cant love you heard that right in this charming Slice of Life there's no graphic violence uncomfortable romances or taboo themes nope it garnered attention because it showed someone cutting a cabbage or rather something that's supposed to be a cabbage the animation left a lot to be desired leaving most viewers in a State of Shock laughter and amused bafflement the production got wind of the backlash and fixed the visual for the DVD release but it was too late by then the perfectly smooth vegetable was already a widespread internet meme there is no outrunning a cabbage like [Music] this number 13 kaneki's love life Tokyo Ghoul the power of shipping knows no bounds even though kanaki had heaps of chemistry with best girl toer a certain section of the fan base wanted him to get in bed with his best friend HED but all those hopes went up in Flames when kanaki and TOA finally consummated their relationship to say fans weren't happy would be an understatement some went as far as calling Tokyo Ghoul homophobic and even sent the author death threats while we can appreciate wanting more diverse relationships in anime this glorified hate parade went the extreme the unwarranted reaction is a black mark on the Tokyo G fan base that won't be going away anytime soon number 12 not so super animation Dragon Ball super you'd think a property as beloved as Dragon Ball would get the time and care it deserves but in only five episodes the hotly anticipated super turned fan excitement into internet melting outrage the show's rushed production schedule meant the animators couldn't keep up with the battle heavy storylines so even though episode 5 was supposed to be Super's first big fight it ended up looking like a duel between between stick figures the production company gave a few hamfisted excuses but in the end super went down as a cautionary tail amongst fans on the bright side the show did eventually get it taged together but the horrors of episode 5 still haunt everyone's nightmares number 11 Makoto's murder and nice boat school days in a scene that still drops Jaws to this day the shocking Slice of Life ends with some literal slices taken out of its leading man Mako but that's not the most notable part of its finale a day before the episode was supposed to air a real life tragedy in Kyoto forced the Japanese Network to cancel its broadcast instead they aired a scenery shot with the subtitles nice boat the internet exploded frustration turning into confusion turning into absolute hilarity by the time School day's final episode a nice boats had become the anime meme of the year you got a feel for Makoto his death got upstaged by a bloody boats number 10 too close for comfort ocean noo while it may seem bubbly on the surface this show is actually all about exposing the dark underbelly of the Rich and Famous but in its sixth episode oan noo Blended fact and fiction a bit too well the plotline follows Aran an actress facing so much online harassment she eventually tries to end it all the specifics of her torment Echo the situation of real life pro wrestler Hannah Kima unfortunately while akan survived her circumstances Kima didn't later the wrestler's mother denounced oan noo for using her daughter's death as a quote unquote Source material who comment struck aord with a lot agreeing ocean oo should be more sensitive with its real life going forward While others argued that the mango was written much earlier number nine false allegations the rising of The Shield hero you only get one chance at a first impression and for some Shield hero blew it while its fresh spin on the isekai genre Drew rave reviews others were quick to point out some of its more problematic elements namely that its first episode depicts slavery and false misconduct allegations viewers who stuck around found that Shield hero handled its tough subject matter with finesse and maturity but unfortunately several of its protesters had already written the show off it's a real shame if they just given now for me one more chance they'd have seen that the first season and only the first season of the rising of The Shield hero is isekai at its very best number eight the endless eight The Melancholy of harui suzia in this malign storyline harui and her friends are stuck in a Time Loop repeating the same summer vacation even though the second episode reanimated every Scene It rehashed the exact same events as the first the third episode repeated the trend again so did the fourth the fifth and so on eventually wasting over half the season with the same identical plot points harui fans went into a tail spin and we can't even blame them the fan base's meltdown reached such a boiling point the shows former director had to issue an apology but sorry wasn't enough to stop the endless eights from becoming one of the most hated arcs in anime history number seven do and the Quran JoJo's Bizarre Adventure as if being a thorn in the side of the joar family isn't bad enough di Brando decided to take on an entire religion too during the '90s OVA adaptation of the series The vampiric Villain reads exits from something that looks an awful lot like the Quran just who do you think you are anyway just look at you sitting there with your back to me leaving yourself wide open obviously Muslims weren't thrilled to see such flippant use of their sacred text especially by a Vampire who's talking about murder in response the manga's English release went on Hiatus and the ovas were pulled from storefronts I don't I just don't get it nowadays there's a whole new version of JoJo's to fall in love with and this one hasn't offended any religious groups yet number six meet the Goblins Goblin Slayer if you turned on this anime expecting a light-hearted action fantasy you had another thing coming in the very first scene of the very first episode a group of unlucky adventurers get cornered by goblins and it crosses more than a few lines let's just say that some of these party members got treated to a fate worse than death almost immediately after it aired Goblin Slayer was accused of using extreme violence for shock value and even worse doing so without a Content warning for what it's worth the Scandal did get a lot of eyes on the show but something tells us most of those viewers didn't hang around for episode 2 number five Nina and H table code gas Louch of the Rebellion love is love but there's a time and a place for everything this was most definitely not the time for Nina she's caught red-handed in a dark room examining a photo of her [Music] beloved given Nina's position it's heavily implied that she got it on with the corner of a table sorry we meant table CO as some cheeky fans started calling it jokes aside the scenes almost unnecessary content drummed up its fair share of drama this kind of weird fan cacy scene feels incredibly out of place in a tense Thriller like Cod Gas and yet that's part of the reason Nina and table Kun Remain the show's most infamous ship to this very day number four or taboo content s online it's almost ironic that an episode titled taboo index has a scene that literally had to be cented to put it as vaguely as possible yuio almost had to watch as his comrades suffer the worst punishment imaginable the moment went through heavy edits before it could even hit streaming sites let alone public broadcast but clever cutting or not the reality of the girl's situation isn't any easier to stomach in the face of ever mounting backlash sod online's original author assured fans that he'd moved away from using violence as a subplot if only he'd come to that conclusion a few years sooner number three the real kind of Revenge redo of healer this show is like a contentious bag of chips you can't just pick one after all the entire premise is basically a walking PR disaster without getting too deep into the nasty details redo of healer is about the disgraced wizard Karu who goes back in time to get revenge on those who wronged him and boy does he get creative karo's vengeance is upfront gratuitous and so vile we can't even talk about it on YouTube or Hell show any footage for that matter whatever you're thinking of it's probably worse you can't even watch redo of healer in some countries and honestly that might be for the best number two the Porygon episode Pokémon got to catch them all unless it's Porygon [Music] during the monsters debut episode of the Anime Pikachu went into the internet and delivered a shock that the industry is still reeling from the repetitive flashing lights triggered a series of epileptic reactions across Japan sending more than 600 viewers to the hospital Pokemon immediately pulled the episode Down and went on a 4-month Hiatus to address the issue by the time they returned to their regularly scheduled broadcast Japanese networks had written up entirely new guidelines on light effects in anime all these years later shows are still being held to those standards as for Porygon himself he's been blacklisted from the anime ever since before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to

Evangelion the characters may be congratulating Shinji but for some there's nothing to be happy about here especially if you're a hardcore theorist ever since the series ended with this ambiguous scene the Evangelion fandom has been stuck in a complete controversy of interpretation did Shinji reject instrumentality or are they congratulating him because he joined their Universal Consciousness or is this all just because they ran out of budgets yeah probably that one after all the previews did show footage that would later be used in The End of Evangelion movie either way thematic or not many were still peeved about this anti climactic ending but of course some argue that's the whole [Music] points things have of course become a lot more clear and people don't care as much now that Thrice Upon a Time Has wonderfully wrapped up the series but either way back then people were livid what anime Scandal surprised you the most let us know in those comments below did you enjoy this
