That's just absurd for me, and for a show that looks like they're trying to be serious, that's a negative in my book.

That said, I've found the interaction between the two leads interesting. And considering romance is really the only thing that keeps me interested in shows, that's all that matters I guess.
Considering this IS anime, I wouldn't really put the onus on anyone for trying to be excessively realistic. But the idea of a federalized government going against local governments isn't as crazy as people tends to think. Just that such issues usually don't end up becoming a real combative war. But maybe if such censorship issues keep blowing up in the future, it might not be so absurd or impossible, as sad as that'd be.

BTW, the first ep was pretty damn good. The lead girl is HUGE for a girl, especially an Asian one and her Kana (Minami-ke) voice is showing. Which is a plus.
