China is tightening its rules on anime content.
A post circulating online states that China has begun systematically rejecting anime that feature rebellion against the government or school romance themes, under stricter regulations introduced in early 2025.
Titles such as Code Geass, Attack on Titan, and One Piece are reportedly facing difficulties getting approved. Japanese studios are said to be reviewing and adjusting scripts earlier in production to maintain access to the Chinese market, which remains a major source of revenue.
Reactions online include comments criticizing the policy, with one user calling it overly restrictive, while others pointed out that some anime have succeeded without relying on the Chinese market.
The situation may influence how future anime stories are written and distributed globally.
What do you think about this change?
