They're banning stuff for cultural reasons not because it's bad or has boobs or whatever.

Well yeah, but a rewatch every few months is maybe a bit uhmmm?

Like, if it was something fun and bubbly I could understand being able to keep up with that kind of schedule.
But when i wake up from the post-EoE stupor my thoughts usually aren't along the lines of "that was great! let's do that again three months from now wheeee!"
I'm pretty sure I don't even like watching eva despite the fact that I somehow keep doing it every now and then and that kind of confuses me.

lmao i rewatch Lain once a month, if you like an anime you want to watch it

The only reason china bans shows is that they are more popular than their homegrown crap

Sucks to be China. At least the US produces quality TV like Game of Thrones that's more popular than KLK.

Yeah I know, I picked the one thing. Complete accident and I'm insane for somehow hitting a nail on the head.

Like I know there's that one law about how parody can get too close to the real thing to be imperceptible but man.

they also ban movies that receive acclaim at international award ceremonies since the perception is that work wasn't Chinese enough bc foreigners enjoyed it, but also sometimes they don't.

Haha looking up to see if Game of Thrones is just fine apparently they censored that and banned The Big Bang Theory.

I have no clue what's going on over there.

To be clear because somehow you misconstrued my post before, I'm not saying that The Big Bang is good at all, but somehow these metrics based on popularity or cultural problems don't entirely fit and it looks like poo poo just ends up mad inconsistent.

Which sounds about right if you have a somewhat arbitrary banning process.

I assume they banned Big Bang theory and then just launched some Chinese imitation

Big Bang Theory isn't that awful, there have been a lot worse sitcoms that made it to the #1 spot.
