Causes for the Prohibition of the Classic Post-Apocalyptic Anime Akira in Russia
incredible combat game “Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero,” which encountered significant censorship due to its highly violent scenes, sexually intricate themes, and explicit nudity. Additionally, “Death Note” (both the initial manga and the adapted TV series) has faced substantial censorship and even prohibition in nations such as China and Russia. Thus, it’s not surprising that Katsuhiro Otomo’s intense 1988 cyberpunk masterpiece, “Akira,” underwent similar censorship in Russia in 2021.
As reported by Vice, a St. Petersburg court in Russia prohibited Otomo’s classic (alongside the widely popular anime, “Attack on Titan”) based on a declaration that asserted the film’s content could “put children’s health and mental development at risk.” According to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti, as translated by Vice, several experts testified that the films might incite “‘violent’ behavior in children” and could potentially result in self-harm.
The Oktyabrsky District Court in St. Petersburg indicated in a statement that graphic content, like that presented in “Akira” and similar works, “undoubtedly jeopardizes young children’s spiritual and moral education and growth, contradicting the humanistic principles of upbringing characteristic of Russia.” It is not surprising that the nation also prohibited other Japanese anime such as “Inuyashiki” and “Tokyo Ghoul” earlier that same year.
Akira is just too dark, violent, and provocative for certain nations

Samsung Boosts Output of Galaxy S26 Following Soaring Demand and Surpassing Estimates
Not all phones have experienced a favorable April.
Essential information
- Insiders claim that Samsung is reaching out to suppliers to initiate a boost in Galaxy S26 production; one model is reportedly excluded.
- The Galaxy S26 Ultra is set to increase by 200,000 units (totaling 1.5 million in April), while the standard S26 will rise by 500,000 units (1.3 million overall for April).
- Additional reports suggest that Samsung is reducing the S26 Plus production for April by 100,000 units, along with a few mid-tier models.
There were rumors of the Galaxy S26 series shattering pre-order records; however, a new trend indicates the company is ramping up production.
As of today (April 9), ZDNet Korea has revealed that Samsung will instruct its suppliers to boost Galaxy S26 production this April (as reported by SamMobile). Sources from the publication indicate that Samsung is attempting to catch up after receiving an unexpected number of S26 orders in March. It has been reported that Samsung aims to escalate production of the Galaxy S26 Ultra by 200,000 units; nevertheless, the Galaxy S26 could see its largest increase of 500,000 units.
This would elevate the Ultra’s April totals to 1.5 million, while the S26 would rise to 1.3 million. The absent product here is the Galaxy S26 Plus, which is less intriguing due to Samsung apparently scaling back. Sources indicate that the S26 Plus is being reduced by 100,000 units, placing its April figures at around 200,000.
While this may seem like positive news for Samsung’s flagship devices, the report suggests that this won’t continue for long (and not every phone is thriving).
Reportedly, Samsung’s significant April expansion to satisfy demand might see it easing off a bit for the S26 series in May. Furthermore, Samsung may reduce production by a few hundred thousand units for its mid-range Galaxy A57 and A17.
The Galaxy S26 has been active
It is quite clear what has driven such a robust performance for the Galaxy S26 Ultra: the Privacy Display. In March, there were rapid reports highlighting the overwhelming popularity of the S26 series pre-orders in South Korea. The Galaxy S26 Ultra leads the way, owing to its Privacy Display, capturing approximately 70% of the market share. However, there’s more to the story. Samsung has provided the most upgrades to the Ultra this year, including enhanced cameras, a slimmer design, and a more user-friendly build, all at the same price point as the S25 Ultra.
What isn’t surprising is the lack of appeal of the S26 Plus. This model occupies a space between the base version and the Ultra but lacks the new exciting features. This year, the S26 Plus received the least number of enhancements, aside from the revised camera layout. Additionally, consumers might lean towards the S26 for its compact dimensions,

Apple Declares Permanent Shutdown of Three US Locations: Explanation of Reasons
Apple has revealed the shutdown of three retail outlets in the United States, specifically located in Connecticut, Maryland, and California. The impacted sites encompass stores at Trumbull Mall, Towson Town Center, and the Shops at North County.
In a communication to MacRumors, Apple attributed the closures to the exit of various retailers and deteriorating conditions within the malls. The company underlined its dedication to delivering outstanding service and experiences for customers, noting that it regularly assesses current locations to effectively address customer requirements.
Trumbull Mall has encountered notable financial difficulties, recently defaulting on more than $150 million in loans, whereas Towson Town Center has experienced several business shutdowns, including renowned retailers such as Tommy Bahama and Banana Republic.
The shutdowns are slated for June, with all three stores presently marked as “temporarily closed” on Apple’s website. They are anticipated to reopen briefly before permanently closing. Staff from the Trumbull and Escondido outlets will have the chance to retain their positions at adjacent Apple Retail stores, while Towson employees can seek new roles according to their collective bargaining agreement.
Significantly, the Towson Town Center store was the first Apple Store to unionize in June 2022, aligning with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
In spite of these closures, Apple stays dedicated to its retail footprint, having inaugurated eleven new stores worldwide in the past year and upgrading numerous others. In the U.S., the company has launched two new stores and improved eight existing ones.
As the retail environment continues to shift, Apple’s strategic choices mirror broader trends in consumer habits and mall foot traffic, underscoring the hurdles faced by traditional brick-and-mortar retailers today.
