In today's anime, there is a phenomenon that is getting more and more serious, that is, "adultization".

Due to the theme and interpretation of various reasons, many anime are actually not suitable for children. However, because the grading system has not yet appeared and been implemented, those works that are not suitable for children are not well controlled.
Whether it's one-size-fits-all or indifference, this phenomenon is not good.
The hierarchical appeal has always been loud and rainy, and there has been no dawn for many years.
The proportion of adult elements of animation is not light, but when can anime start grading?
1. From the perspective of cost, animation grading is far away
From our audience's point of view, it's not difficult to rate an anime, but it's not necessarily for others.
For example, in recent months, the speed of daily manga updates introduced from outside has obviously slowed down a lot, and Japanese manga fans are looking forward to it, but the genuine anime updated on the platform is surprisingly slow.
As for the reason, it is not a secret.
Just like the Well-known Bo Ren Biography, it is only updated to 220 episodes on the surface, in fact, the latest episode is already the latest episode +9 on the genuine platform.
Many Japanese fans scratch their ears and scratch their cheeks because of this, obviously buying members on the genuine platform, but they can't see the update for a long time.
But the platform is also very helpless, they spent a lot of effort to introduce Japanese anime, originally wanted to make money, but did not expect that there will be a roadblock to kill out, so that they suffered losses in vain.
Of course, such a request is not without cause.
The famous "Rebirth without a Job" incident is a lead, without which the censorship might have started a little later, but now it is a natural fit.
It intercepts the latest Japanese manga, even if it is deleted, it must be passed before it can be broadcast.
Although this is not staging, it is also screening, and it is less costly than staging.
Many anime are not suitable for minors to watch, because some themes are more controversial, and in general, those with higher ratings in foreign countries will require parents to accompany them.
But we also have to see another point: now that 996 and 007 are prevalent, many parents will throw electronic products to their children and let them spend time on their own, and one of the means of killing time used by children is to watch anime.
In this case, it is unrealistic to ask parents to accompany them to watch controversial anime.
Therefore, many parents will hope to erase the anime and other works that "may bring bad to their children" from the world, rather than taking time out of their own time to accompany their children and teach them how to establish the correct three views.
One-size-fits-all, not only parents are comfortable, but the relevant departments can also save time and effort and save money -
There are so many anime that we can access, the manpower, material and financial resources required to classify are unimaginable, and from which "sponge" should these costs be squeezed out?
2. More genres than anime need to be graded
Not only do anime need to be graded, but the live-action movies and live-action TV series that children may be exposed to actually need to be graded, and the cost of their rating is even higher than that of anime.
What's more troublesome is that if anime is to be graded, the rating of other types of works will also be put on the agenda, and it is impossible to favor one over the other.
For those of us who are eagerly awaiting, decomposition is an impatient thing to wait for, and for those who need to actually perform it, the huge workload is unbearable.
As for the cost of money converted, let you pay more taxes on the grading of these works, are you willing?
The current market for anime is not only for children and teenagers, but also for many adults who want to draw spiritual food from it.
Therefore, many anime will become adult, even if it is the part of the cartoon that was originally for children, it will try to win the adult market. After all, there are too many accidents that may occur in an anime from project establishment to listing, and maximizing benefits is the most cost-effective.
Even if we know, and they know that grading is the cure, they have to accept or even cooperate with the current one-size-fits-all approach.
It is hoped that in the future when the country is stronger and the people are richer, anime can usher in an effective rating so that they can face the most suitable market.
