NEWS: HENNEKO Author: Anime's Foreign Product Placement to Be Removed

Yes. wanting to keep the race "pure", has often been the driving motivation of racism throughout the years. The more you try to explain it away as "It's racism, but not really racism", the more it just sounds like plain racism.

And I highly doubt that one image was an kind of load-bearing extra work. And if anything, forcing them to remove it would in fact be the extra work, he's so against.

Actually I've heard that authors can be pretty close to the development of a series, they do have quite a bit of creative control in it, to the point where they may be the ones who decide an anime adaptation may deviate from the original work due to lack of episodes. As I recall, Zero no Tsukaima's author was quite involved in F.

I said Pet girl is bad AND Nichijou is bad.
Cry all you like, but these shows are proven failures, in viewer ratings and in sales. Nichijou is so damn bad not even sentai films has touched it yet. You think some reviews and comments by a bunch of internet nerds is going to change things? lmfao

ain't nobody got time for that. most people do not sit on the internet all day and blog on 2CH like you seem to believe. people with real jobs have to go to work and they buy what they like when they like for their own entertainment purposes.

That's funny, I'm seeing Korean dramas doing really well around the world.

Korea & Japan broadcasters distribute their products in different. It's a pity that the latter ones don't trust streaming, but not using one distribution channel it doesn't mean they are not selling them.

Let's just say Japanese marketing and business acumen... are not that strong to begin with. They can't even begin to look beyond their island for greater opportunities (except for the established - Japan Inc.)

Dang, over 80 posts just for some foreign K-pop placement in a niche Anime? Seriously?

Then again, its reasonable.

Japan, Korea, and China are too blinded by their nationalism and the past to see through their problems and achieve resolve.

Now before you call me ignorant, I do recall that the crimes that imperialist Japan committed during WWII and their occupation of Korea. It was horrendous. But then again, what nation hasn't committed acts of atrocity. The US has done it, India has done it, China, Britain, France, Africa as a whole, Australia, nearly the whole world has done it.

Of course, in the end, its all of game of politics. Nationalist right in South Korea insist that Japanese must apologize for what they did to them in the past and even repay them back in $$$ even though the Japanese have repeatedly apologized to them in the past and the current generation have nothing to do with the past crimes of the imperialists.

Shindo Abe, the LDP's conservative prime minister, responds by visiting a shrine dedicated to celebrating war criminals who were involved with the "Comfort women" tragedy and claims that those women were "prostitutes" rather than "victims." Hence, the Japanese far-right have yet triggered another international conflict, not just with Korea but China as well. And hence, we'll continue to see the cat-fight between these Asian countries until they see past their politics and nationalism and actually forget about the past and make peace.

And that's why I gave up both American and Japanese politics just last year, prior to the re-election of Barrack Obama, and the fact that most people don't even bother looking up information outside the corporate news media about their candidates or voting for 3rd party candidates. Its a tragedy really, because than you have people complaining about the "economy", "healthcare", "poverty", "Gay marriage", "global warming", "Internet freedom" "wall st", etc, and then they vote for Democrat and Republican all the time. They complain about one of the two parties and point figures at their politicians and yet, re-elect them ALL THE FU&*Kin time! Lamar Smith, the author of SOPA, got reelected in his own district. Yes, in his own freakin district. I suppose CISPA's Mike Rogers will also get re-elected because truth be said, most American voters are bloody idiots!

And with Japan. Same hopeless situation. How long has the conservative LDP party ruled the "Land of the rising sun?" 50, 60, or 70+ year? Seriously Japan? And I thought we were bad but they are worse, its almost like One-party system like China, except, it seems most Japanese voters collectively follow the largest party. Hence why the LDP continues to remain the largest political party in Japan.

The DPJ, the only liberal party in Japan, has suddenly become a minority while Shintaro Ishihara's "Sunrise Party" has more seats than them. Its scary how the nation is slowly plunging to the far-right.

And as for S.Korea, I don't really have to say much. They are about the same as most American voters. They vote for what they see in the media and not what the candidates really offer in substance. Hence why they are stuck with a two party system just like us.

America : Votes for Democrat or Republican
S.Korea : Democratic United Party or Saenuri.
Japan : Liberal Democratic Party(LDP and they are conservative)

1st world issues.

Yes. Japan is one of the most racist countries on the planet.

Actually, East Asia in general is one of the most racist continents on the planet.
