Someone's mad that artists are "defiling" his favorite characters, I'm assuming. All these threats toward events are freaking ridiculous.

Seriously? All it takes in Japan to get what you want is a threatening letter?

I hope this stuff never affects the largest doujinshi events, threatening letters should just be scoffed at.

Oh well, COMIC1☆7 is coming and that'll have a ton of adult GuP material, and then there's always Comiket in August. Mostly looking forward to what Fatalpulse and Hakuek will offer. The only franchise that really needs more fragmenting in doujinshi like this from the bigger events is the supermassive Touhou. Get more Reitaisai events so Comiket will be less flooded.

This just shows how incompetent Japanese cops are. I hope they sell those adult doujinshi in a big site just to piss the maniac off.

You cannot and should not give in to threatening messages! Sending such messages are generally terrorism. Mad

After what happened in Boston, did London and Nagano cancel their marathons? HELL, NO!! Very Happy

PEOPLE WHO SEND THREATS BY E-MAIL OR PHONE ARE DOWN RIGHT IKUJINASHI (COWARDS)!! Mad Evil or Very Mad

You know I completely misunderstood this headline when it said adult items and wondered to myself "Why would anyone go to an anime event and pass around vibrators anyway?" took me a couple of seconds to realise it meant H dojinshi. I'm tired today.

Don't worry - I thought the same thing lol. They should stop giving into these threats and increase security. They might be able to catch someone trying to tamper with something or cause problems.

I haven't watch GuP yet but I won't like it if people are sexualizing the characters of the anime I liked. Give dem back their 'pure' characters!

since alot of people dont realize this
the director for girls und panzer is the same guy that did crayon shin chan, blood-c and genshiken
pure is definitely not the word to use, I would say modest or respectable
