Looking around the banned anime list on
[TVTropes](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BannedInChina) I noticed
that there are quiet a lot of Japanese animation banned in countries outside
of Japan. Me being curious as usually couldn't help but wonder.

  * Which country was the first to actually ban a Japanese animation or episode and for what reason it was banned?

Which Japanese animation was the first to be banned and where?


Compared to your other question [What Japanese animation was the first to be
an international
success?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/13078/what-japanese-
animation-was-the-first-to-be-an-international-success/13126#13126), I don't
think you can really pinpoint to a specific animation for being the first to
be banned. All Japanese (or even all international) media was probably banned
in several countries for various reasons.

  * Some countries had such a tight regime that no media could get in (or out) from (or to) whatever country, as mentioned by [senshin](https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/1908/senshin). _If I were better at world history I would have added some examples_
  * Some countries had had a grudge against Japan and had banned all Japanese cultural import all together. For example, [South Korea had banned all Japanese media after World War II](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Japanese_media_in_South_Korea).
