@JumboWheat01 well, the art style's pretty intense, so animating it would be more difficult plus each episode probably only amounts to 15 minutes run time including the commercials. THEN AGAIN, 4 koma can get adapted to full anime so that's probably not TOO hard to get around.
@pburgund You are allowed to show Yakuza, You just cant show them as "people" otherwise it can be construed as you condoning what they do.
So showing yakuza gun down a bunch of people = Fine
Showing Yakuza adopt a kitten, help an old granny across the street and pay for school kid supplies = bad.
