Very strange things are going on in Japan, worth keeping an eye on.

From what I have gathered Japan has been very subservient to the US since WW2 end. They had become an American vassal state and America had significant control over them. Even stuff like anime and manga were censored when they contained explicit anti-war themes.

yeah, japans weird censorship is pretty directly because of 1950s american bullshit
