Controversy
The English language localization of the anime has been criticized and called out for falsely translating the word "lolicon" to "pedophile", despite their different meanings. Among the Japanese who called this out there's the Anime News Network's writer and editor Deb Aoki, who previously wrote an article focusing on this specific problem.
