The Japanese Broadcasting Ethics and Program Improvement Organization (BPO) watchdog group has recently published viewer complaints from November, one stemming from an allegedly "suggestive" banana-eating scene in a children's anime program.

According to the complaint, the sexual situation starred a male character that became a woman before eating the banana suggestively. The parent notes that while kids were unlikely to understand the scene, it was uncomfortable to watch from a parent's perspective. The specific anime the scene appeared in isn't identified, although a similar scene took place in episode 96 of Yo-Kai Watch.

The BPO published viewer complaints in October stemming from a scene in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. The complaint refers to an anime where "several nonresistant prisoners and enemy soldiers are gunned down by the young male protagonist." In August, the BPO also published a complaint against the ending sequence to idol anime Pripara, which depicted the young girl protagonists in swimsuits. Specifically, Sophie Hojo wore a black negligee mirroring a photo of Marilyn Monroe. The ending sequence was edited.
