Philippine Law to Protect Anime Girls

I dedicate this song to imaginary Japanese anime and game girls everywhere. Now they’ll receive protection from Filipino otaku predators, thanks to a new bill going through Congress in the Philippines. Bless their sweet two-dimensional hearts.

Of course, you know what comes next: undercover agents at anime conventions, raids on toy stores, random searches of sketchbooks. Filipinos will give up a few of their civil liberties — and Filipino artists will have to be really careful what they draw — but it’s all worth it to protect the honor of imaginary Japanese girls.
