I've been thinking a lot about what it actually means to "cancel" an anime in preparation of getting my Redo of Healer take written.
-
Do people who criticize Redo of Healer actively campaign to get it off the air? Not that I've seen. I mean I say that sort of stuff ironically but I'm an anti-statist I'm the last person to think state violence should decide what art gets made, that's ridiculous.
-
I think it would be nice if this kind of stuff was less commercially successful, because these anime are bad for the industry and and bad for society. But that's not the same as wanting the state to ban or change it.
-
This is no different than someone saying they hate live action remakes, and that they want less of them, because they have a negative effect on the industry. Somehow I don't think that's "cancelling" to these people.
-
Is cancelling just "a lot of people criticizing a thing"? If so, is EX-ARM cancelled? Plenty of people have criticized it for being bad, because it is. But no one says it was "cancelled" it's just a bad show made my amateurs.
-
Okay so "cancelling" is making a criticism of a show on political grounds. And that's bad because it's censorship or... something? Sure, whatever. What about High Guardian Spice?
-
Yeah, you heard me. Was High Guardian Spice cancelled? People attacked the creators and the studio explicitly on political grounds, and, as a result, it's been delayed indefinitely. Isn't that cancel culture? It literally got cancelled (off air) because of Twitter backlash

Dude, I WISH my fucking tweets forced Crunchyroll to not order 50 more goddamn episodes of Shield Hero, but it's still getting three seasons anyway. The only people who have ever "cancelled" a show for political reasons, to where it stopped being made, have been right-wingers
