Japan Demands OpenAI Stop Copying Manga and Anime

The Japanese government has officially warned OpenAI about the inadmissibility of copyright infringement. The reason is that the new Sora 2 model can generate videos featuring characters from manga, anime, and video games that are protected.

Recall that Sora 2 is an updated model from OpenAI released in October. Shortly after the release, social media filled with realistic videos in the style of Japanese animation. Japanese authorities expect the company to voluntarily comply with the requirements, but if it refuses, they are ready to apply measures under the AI Development Law.

Neuron clarifies: the ban will likely only apply to the use of original characters from films and anime, but you can still create your own anime videos right in our bot.

How to do it:

1. Go to the bot menu and click "Create Video"

2. Select the Sora 2 or Veo 3.1 model

3. Describe a scene in anime style — and start generation
