only for German businesses.
For a Belgium entry it was accepted.
Strange: there ie an english category “Machine Knife Supplier” though!!!

Thanks for the info.

I think it might be necessary going forward to indicate in the list which countries the word is banned in.

This happens at least for any German place entry (I have tried it with one of my testing entries too – getting it immediatety “pending” and re-activated after removing the word “Anime”).
No idea what the GoogleGods consider bad on “Anime”.

Strange enough:

I manage in my same account an entry for a real business in Belgium.

using “Anime” in that Belgian entry nothings happens. The entry still remains active!!!

Compare this behavior with other “country-specific” handling of triggered words:
‘cul’ & ‘baton’ only for Ukrainian entries and now ‘anime’ for German entries.

Googles doing on triggered word is very weird.
