/a/ - Animu & Mango

But people said that Japan was immune to SJWs and their harmful ideologies. Surely they can't have been delusional idiots, right?

Turns out racist idiots can make media companies decide it's not worth associating with them anywhere.

>>831764

I don't know if would've been any different if this happened 10-15 years ago, aside from the fact that way less people would've seen the tweets on any social media. Though it's odd that the VAs are jumping ship first.

>However, it was MINE posting racist opinions against Chinese and South Korean nationals on Twitter — calling them “monkeys” and “beasts”

Wow, rude. Monkeys have done nothing to deserve being compared to chinks and klowns.

>>831769

Call me a normalfag, but I think this is the first time I heard anime voice actors abandoning a project before it began.

>>831771

Sure, but most projects get shut down because they're bad or not doing so hot sales-wise, not because they're all that and also associated with a racist idiot.

>>831771

I haven't heard of it either, but then again most authors aren't retarded enough to self-sabotage just as they're getting an anime. Only similar case I know is Haruhi, but that's kind of the other way around.

Oh yeah, the whole website for said anime was blocked on overseas IPs and the whole project was canceled.

>People digging up racist comments from a literally who author who has made a literally who LN and anime adaptation

>Ruroni Kenshin comes back after international fury and backlash over the author getting away with a slap on the wrist for owning real CP

Really makes you think.

>>831764

Nationalism isn't the same as SJWism. They wouldn't give a fuck if the author wrote the same shit but with references to some non-chink related war instead.

>>831759

I normally think it's completely ridiculous when projects get shut down because of social media or what have you, but I can't say I blame the VAs for not wanting to be involved in this one.

I'm not familiar with the series but it sounds like the story itself was already controversial, which would be fine on its own, but taking into account those belligerent tweets it gives the feeling that the author probably left good storytelling secondary to his political wanking.

>>831769

>Though it's odd that the VAs are jumping ship first.

I don't think it's odd at all. Seiyuus are the ones with faces and names and reputations to uphold, so they're the most worried about their image. Nobody gives a shit about the other people involved like writers or animators. Only other role that comes close might be the director but even they have less to worry about in that aspect.

Also probably doesn't help that actors tend to be some of the worst types of artist.

>>831764

This has nothing to do with SJW. They were pressured by Chinese nationalists.

>>831783

I am pretty sure that the opinion of the Seiyuu didn't matter, it's very likely that their agency made the decision for them.

China is the only market besides Japan that's important for anime. You don't want to burn your relations with them.

>>831772

> not because they're all that and also associated with a racist idiot.

This has nothing to do with racism, Japan is trying to break away from the US and cozying up to China and Russia.

>>831815

>Japan is trying to break away from the US and cozying up to China and Russia.

This has nothing to do with politics.

China is just an important market for anime/manga/LNs.

Chinese companies pressured Japanese companies and they folded like cardboard.

Sadly this looks like it will happen more often in the future, anime censored for Chinese sensibilities will be the norm going forward.

>>831780

Haruhi's VA, Aya Hirano, was only doing seiyuu work to promote her singing career, and was often talking shit about otaku. Then eventually she went on to fuck everyone in her band except the bassist, it was captured on video, leaked, then all her otaku fans got really pissed.

>>831770

At least monkeys have food for their people.

>>831819

>except the bassist

Reminds me of a Metalocalypse episode.

>>831764

The China-Korea-Japan relationship is way more of a touchy subject than feminism/gender theories.

>>831819

She also seduced middle aged men in bars with her anime voice.

>>831819

>Then eventually she went on to fuck everyone in her band except the bassist

>except the bassist

Metalocalypse was right all along.

>>831837

Bassists being the eternal butt of a joke is nothing new, though.

>How do you know if the stage is level?

<When the bassist is drolling from both sides of his mouth evenly.

>>831759

Wait what? That's not how the story goes at all. The only thing Nidoume has that has WW2 in it is the MC who before dying of old age, was some WW2 nip supersoldier who katanas chinks on the battlefield. And that was one static scene when the gods discuss why the MC has advanced swordsmanship compared to the literal medieval world where everyone else's swordsmanship seem to be dogshit compared to his.

>>831818

Well, for the most part, the worst we’ll get are bootleg shows with some pro-Chinese propaganda tossed in.

>>831901

To Be Heroine then?

>>831759

And? Can't someone grow some balls and just not care what other people in a different country think of you? The chinks make propaganda all the time about how they are the "best" and everyone else sucks, so everyone else may as well do the same.

>>831818

>Chinese companies pressured Japanese companies and they folded like cardboard.

Sounds like politics to me.

So China and Korea got mad someone called them a nigger?

Let me get this straight, correct me where I'm wrong:

The story is a shitty isekai about a WW2 vet that attracted the attention of the fantasy gods for being so good at killing chinks with his 1000 times folded nihon steel katana that he gets reincarnated into their world, sans his memories.

This shitty isekai is about to get an anime adaptation, but some butthurt chink notices the stupid premise (which apparently bears no importance to the plot since the MC actually forgets everything about his past life) and proceeds to complain about it.

The chink also digs up the author's four year old tweets which are unsurprisingly racist and raises hell about it.

Turns out there are chink companies and chink staff that will be involved in the production of this shitty isekai anime and they're not enthusiastic to be branded traitors by the entire chink internet for a couple of shekels, so they quit.

The VAs notice they're on a sinking ship covered with flaming poo, so they quit too.

The production company and publisher notices they're standing next to flaming poo and it'll probably affect future business with the chinks, so they quit, deciding a shitty isekai adaption is not the hill they want to die on.

This leaves the author, ostracized despite his apologies, standing alone in a pile of flaming poo that was once his writing career.

And somehow we're supposed to feel sorry for this fucking idiot who not only cannot write for shit, but also neglected to scrub his social media before working with people from the country he regularly shat on?

Where is the translation so I can learn more about glorious Nihonjin exceptionalism?

>Make unprofessional comments on an already racy anime that could cause waves

>Wonder why you're shut down

This is one of those cases where I'd blame it on the author being unprofessional, honestly.

>>832086

I'm curious to know if the comments he made were recent or picked up on from years ago like >>832040 suggests, because I think that makes a difference. If he made the comments at this point then yeah, that's a pretty dumb decision on his part, but digging up dirt on him from the past would be pretty cheap.

It's a shame that you can't be openly racist these days but you should bear that in mind if you're trying to get an anime adaption made and not deliberately trying to stir shit up.

Korea should shut the fuck up and start producing their own animation, instead of churning USA-approved music with their blow-up dolls and robotic "sexy" moves, as well as their faggot soap operas.

I'm actually surprised when people like or know something from Korea that isn't their horrible music and dramas.

>>832162

FYI both Japan and America outsource a lot of their animation gruntwork to voluntary korean slaves.

Well, at least will have one less isekai anime out there.

I say that this is a blessing in disguise.

>>832216

>tfw love isekai but hate the power creep/overpowered MC in damn near every single one of them

>>832219

Read Konosuba, it's fun.

>>832219

Read Ride On King.

Trust me on this.
