Japanese media reveals three major TV animation broadcast accidents, the first of which is Pokémon causing epilepsy and shocking the world

Today, January 27, Japanese media summarized the three most well-known broadcast accidents that occurred in the TV animation industry. Let's take a look at what other unforgivable problems there are besides the Pokémon-induced epilepsy incident that has become a global topic.

Pokémon can cause epilepsy.

The incident occurred during the 38th episode of the first Pokémon TV animation, "Computer Warrior 3D Dragon," which was broadcast on December 16, 1997. Due to the excessively flashing sound and light effects in the second half of the animation, a large number of viewers became uncomfortable, making it the TV program in the world's history that caused the most people (685 people) to suffer from sudden epileptic symptoms (PSE, photosensitive epilepsy).

"Magic Warriors" mistakenly broadcast the same episode for 2 weeks.

On September 3, 1988, the popular anime "Magic Warriors" was originally scheduled to broadcast the 18th episode "The Terrifying Demon Emperor". However, due to the director's negligence, the 17th episode was rebroadcast, causing an uproar among the audience and causing great pain to the fans who had been waiting for a week.

The production quality of the fourth episode of "Lost Universe" is terrible.

When the fourth episode of "Lost Universe" was broadcast in 1998, it shocked all the audience. The poor quality of the animation video even made the audience wonder if their TV sets suddenly broke down, which caused a social topic at the time.
