Asian countries are characterized by being more strict and disciplined. They are proving it with the health crisis that has affected the whole world. But they also surprise from time to time with some measures at least debatable. In Japan, they also put Pokémon sewer covers as they prohibit children from playing video games more than they should. And it is not due to the current situation of confinement, but a measure to control this activity of the youngest of the house. A prefecture in Japan has passed an ordinance to limit children's playtime under 18 years.
Starting April 1, 2020, children in Kagawa Prefecture will have to ration their video game session. According to Soranews24, the Assembly of this city proposed in January the Ordinance on Measures against the Internet and Addiction to Games, which prohibits minors from playing for more than an hour a day. However, there are some wide sleeves during the weekend that extend that time to 90 minutes. The idea is that they spend more time studying and exercising, but at no time do they talk about television, where they spend a lot of time. They also refer to the mobile phone ban after nine o'clock at night, unless it's for studying.
Bad time to delimit children's leisure when they are expected in April releases like Resident Evil 3 and Final Fantasy VII, two remakes that have shown their best face in recent events. Despite this, the series are not contemplated in this Ordinance and Japan offers free manga and anime to cope with the quarantine due to the coronavirus.
