The bill explicitly includes "cartoon or animation", but refers to the existing definitions of obscene material when describing what depicted acts are banned. Essentially, any pornographic depiction of a minor, real or not, becomes a felony.
This is an explicit socalled loli/shota/pedo ban, but I don't see how it can ban anime.
look man, i believe you. i don't think everyone on here is a pedophile. that shit's a hardcore accusation and there's not that many kiddie diddlers around, even on a fringe place like this.
but it's just plain weird how every time someone talks about how sexualized japanese cartoons are and how often the chicks in there look really young, you guys come straight out of the woodwork and yell "free speech, free speech, the puritans are banning my innocent cartoons". it's bizarre and off-putting how willing you are to snuggle right up to an industry known for selling softcore almost-child porn to lonely japs, even if you claim to only watch the stuff that's nothing like that.
these "you know it when you see it" obscenity laws aren't some plot by Big Puritan to get rid of your asian addiction, they're exactly what you'd expect: people trying to get rid of the 3000 year old dragons. there's no way to oppose them without looking strange. look at the twitter replies, man, it's people just posting half-naked chicks going "which one's a child, huh, huh?". it's deranged. it's not normal people behavior. that's why you face so much pushback, not because people are afraid of fucking cartoons.
A person takes a blank piece of paper and a pencil. They draw something. They are then arrested, convicted of a felony and then added to a sex offender register for life.
And you think this is a good idea? You celebrate this law?

take a guess, half the shit on the market has half-naked kids in it that people like OP love.
Disgusting slander
I am not a fan of lolicon or shotacon

So, to be clear.
A person takes a blank piece of paper and a pencil. They draw something. They are then arrested, convicted of a felony and then added to a sex offender register for life.
