What's the biggest anime industry related shitstorm of our time?

i>>137548740
dont get it

>>137548740
I still don't understand what happened here

>>137548740
if I recall it was something like, they called a guy up thinking he was getting a major role for his big break on live TV and they called him a fucking retard for believing it.

>>137548890
>>137548899
live tv bullying

>>137548933

VA got called to play an anime original role but in a stream they told him that it was just a joke and made fun of him. It was kind of funny because you could see the poor VA almost crying in shame and his last words before leaving the stream were "I'm never going to forgive you" or something, but in a very serious, almost serial killer like manner. Fans got mad and decided to troll Kokoro Connect by preordering and inflating the ranks then cancelling their preorders soon after. Kokoro Connect flopped.

>>137549042
So, so much. Kokoro Connect has been dead in the water ever since.

>>137549042
Yeah, they lost tons of sales. People boycotted them.

>>137549101

The fans actually did something right for once.

isn't it still a good show though?

Kokoro Connect was terrible anyway. The only reason it's remembered is this controversy and the masturbate quote.

Have the careers of the people involved in this been affected? I remember some initial backlash, but didn't really track what happened to everyone.

Aya Hirano, on the other hand, has basically been phased out of the anime world aside from previous existing roles that are still active because they're long-lasting series.

>>137549101
Did they think he'd find it funny and laugh it off, or are they just a bunch of dicks?

Why does each arc of Kokoro Connect feels like it belongs in a fetish porn?

Aya Hirano was set to be the next big idol before this happened.

>>137549187
KitaEri's Twitter got shut down because some dumb Anons thought she was involved in it and spammed her with dick pics.

>>137549042
Angry 2ch autists boycotted the anime and since late night anime's audience is 90% 2ch autists it might have had a real effect.

>>137549271
Poor Bassist-kun

>>137548899
/a/ sent dicks to KitaEri.

>>137549271
>>137549334
Reminder the bassist is the one that turned her down and he doubled down and sued her for sexual harassment after the scandal broke.

>>137549101

Don't forget it actually pissed off Sugita to hear this too.

>>137549101
You forgot the part where a bunch of retards from 4chan decided to tweet Eri Kitamura their dicks because of a very tenuous connection she had to the event. She had to close her twitter.

>>137549271
Remind me of this scandal? Was it the typical "Jap Idol isn't a pure virgin and was in a relationship", run of the mill kind of thing or was it sufficiently bonkers? I don't know shit about seiyuus or idols

>>137549416
Apparently, she fucked all her band members except for the bassist

>>137549416

She fucked all of the members of the band except for the bassist.

Doing that would paint any female in a negative light, and it's worse for her because anime/idol/seiyuufags are the worst kind of purefags.

>>137549416
She fucked everyone in her band except the bassist. It went from muh pure virgin waifu to her actually being a literal complete whore.

>>137549271
I remember someone saying that she did this career suicide herself to get away from her agency at the time. She still gets some jobs once in a while nowadays, but it's pretty sad. Her karaoke songs in Yakuza were great.

>>137549207
Right after telling him there was no role they appointed him to a PR position travelling around Japan for 3 months promoting the anime. The VA himself was shocked at the negative attention and urged people to relax and didn't believe the outrage was genuinely about the bullying.

>>137549416
Aya Hirano slept with everyone but the bassist of a band and took pictures.
Needless to say all the NEETs and virgins of Japan flipped their shit and all came tumbling down for her

>>137549385
Sugita is a tremendous bro so thats pretty unsurprising.

>>137549356
Also bassist-kun was married.
He was too pure for this world~

For some reason I thought all of Kokoro Connect would be about body switching. I was pretty disappointed when I got to the end of that arc and they started switching back and forth between mundane gimmicks for the rest of the show without fully exploring the impacts any of them would realistically have. I only ended up really enjoying the first arc and the last one.

The MC wasn't likable at all on top of that.

Anyone remember Aya Hirano's I CAME TWICE t-shirt back during her very first Haruhi live?

>>137549271
Is there anything more to this story besides a woman having sex? Like wrecked marriages, blackmail, something besides angry virgins?

>>137549356
Who would turn Aya Hirano in her prime down? Is the bassist a literal faggot?

>>137549591
>>137549503
top kek

>>137549631
He is loyal to his waifu.

>>137549631

One of the Kokoro Connect bullies was Shiroe in Log Horizon, so I guess there wasn't much of an industry backlash.

>>137549622
Nope. Just purefag elevens flinging shit.
Still, a japanese idol is the last person I would expect doing that

Glad that people are finally recognizing that she was the victim all along.

>>137549460

She was projecting her slut tendencies for a while through her apparel and lifestyle choices, but they could be ignored by the general public and waved away by her agency. This scandal was impossible to defend to her fans. She probably hated the purity idol culture, but she couldn't restrain herself for the sake of her career.

> you will never get texts from an idol to come over and turn her pussy inside out

>you will never pop a famous seiyuu's pussy and expose it to the world for her to lose face
damn shame

>>137549631
Fucking faggot, he stayed loyal to his wife and didn't fuck a literal slut after she threw herself at him and you question that decision.

>>137549950
>she will never put her entire career at risk just to get a piece of that dick

It'd be like you're NTRing every idolfag in the world.

>>137550132

/pol/ infiltrating /a/

>>137550086

Yes. Empowered women leave men that love them so that they can use their bodies to please random strange men and to be their human public toilet/cum dump/cock sleeve. That's when they show their true empowerment and that they are not tied down by the patriarchy. It's probably the Jew's fault or something too.

I don't use twitter so can anybody post screencaps of Eri's twitter account when 4chan trolled him? (I tried googling it but nothing came up)

>>137549271
She doesn't do gravure nowadays anymore, right? It would have been interesting if they marketed her as a huge slut, kinda like how Kobayashi Yu presents herself as a crazy lewd woman.

I would agree that they are a bunch of crazy fucks when it comes to 2.5D.
But I do respect the fact that they can keep the industry afloat with their devotion. Where as I don't pay for anything, they pay for it multiple times.
I'd say their input and anger is worth more than mine.

That's bullshit though. She hasn't been getting many major roles even before the scandal.

> but it's pretty sad
Even before the scandal she already has gigs in variety shows and is still doing so even now. Despite what sankaku and /a/ might have you think, the otaku outrage is actually just a minor thing.

>>137550515
no dude, I'd probably fuck any girl throwing herself at me

you don't want that anon. Sex is a highly overrated. There are loads of other things you can do to get the same amount of dopamine flowing that don't end in a parasitic relationship.

Not anime industry related but nipplemod was fun.

>>137550611
I remember she did an interview on Downtown's music show back when Haruhi exploded in popularity and insisted that the chipmunk voice she was using was her natural voice. That was fake as fuck. Care to link her recent variety show appearances? Genuinely curious since I think she's really talented.

>>137550611
After Haruhi and Lucky Star she started going for the idol route. She broke her relationship with Lantis after the scandal and while she still gets roles they're not really that important. Fairy Tale is the only show keeping her on the map right now.

>>137550753

>sex is overrated

Only a virgin would say this, and a virgin's opinion on sex has no weight. Or someone who hasn't been fortunate to have a good experience. Because anyone who has had good sex wouldn't say this.

>>137550832
>making fun of virgins
>on /a/
What the fuck happened?

>>137550832
>where do you think you are.jpg

>>137550832
Or any person who isn't obsessed with physically stimulating experience. Seriously though I perform concerts at least twice a week and I get a much better 'high' than when I've had sex.

>>137550856
More normalfags are on /a/ than not.
Or at least the normalfags are incredibly vocal.
Just can't seem to get rid of them no matter how often you tell them to fuck off.

>>137550856
Aya has to do something with all her spare time

>>137550821
Because again, even before the scandal, it was somewhat apparent that she was looking for careers outside of anime related gigs. It's not even just idol route, she's flat out going for normalfag audience.

>>137550812
https://youtu.be/NScFUwSY6ro

>>137550905
>tell them to fuck off.
Does this even happen anymore?

>>137550832
And I've had some great sex but intellectual pursuits and accomplishments also top the sex high compared ot the great joy of accomplishing something.

But shouldn't you be off whoring yourself around instead of posting on /a/?

>>137550912
So what are you trying to say? That the scandal didn't ruin a potentially great career? Because it did.

>>137550856
/a/ has become normalfag central for quite a while already. Where have you been for the past few years?

>>137550856

I'm not making fun. I'm just stating that someone who is a virgin really can't have a valid opinion on whether or not sex is overrated. As great as jacking off to 2D is, and trust me, I love it too, it doesn't quite match up to the pleasure of getting off from another person touching you/turning you on. I'm not trying to make this a normalfag vs. whatever argument.

It's just like someone who has eaten junkfood meat all their life and having never tasted a real steak, but telling me steak is overrated because it's just meat, and that all meat is qualitatively the same.

>>137550965
So I take it that you're one of those normalfags? Is this a declaration of war?

>>137550937
Telling normalfags to fuck off doesn't happen enough anymore.
See >>137549913

However, /a/ still fights against things like RWBY when that gets posted.
So I guess /a/ hasn't completely lost it yet.

>>137550964

>>137550611
>She hasn't been getting many major roles even before the scandal.

There's no ruining of a potentially great career when she herself already doesn't seem that interested in pursuing it. I'm not saying the scandal has no effect, but it wan't as big as you think. Again, stop listening to /a/ and sankaku.

>>137550905
>>137550906
>>137550937
>>137550965

This is what you get for allowing borderline blog/3DPD threads all the time. It was bound to happen. We need to go back to being irrationally hostile to shit like this.

>>137550996
How the fuck did you even infer that from my post? Since when did I say I support this shit? Am I supposed to put fingers in my ears and pretend that they aren't here? Are you that deep in denial about it?

>>137551044
Albums released before scandal: 9

Albums released after scandal: 2

Whatever she was pursuing, the scandal did influence her career. So much that her music label ditched her.

aya hirano sleeping with her band members was pretty shitstormy. her career twas in real shaky ground for a while after that.

>having sex with people is a scandal
>not even an affair or a sex tape, just normal sex

I enjoy their cartoons but nips have some serious issues

>>137551056
The problem is that even if 'we' decide to go back to irrationally hostile, it wouldn't do jack because the mods are now on the normalfags' side.

>>137551116
What the fuck am I dodging? You are the one making up shit that isn't even there.

The biggest victim of the Ijime Connect incident was Eufonius. One of the members, Hajime Kikuchi, composer, keyboardist and songwriter of the band, shittalked Halko Momoi.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-09-08/composer-hajime-kikuchi-steps-away-from-band-eufonius

He eventually returned to the band on 2013.

>>137549385
Did it pissed his hair off?

>>137548740
If we count the tsunami delaying everything and making us worry that our favorite creators were dead, then that wins easily. Otherwise, Aya Hirano not fucking the bassist.

>>137551139
Normalfag, who are you trying to fool? Why don't you go out and socialize with your friends and give the rest of us some space?

>>137551137
I swear this is posted every time Aya's scandal is even mentioned.

>>137551168
That's not really a shitstorm. It certainly falls under major happenings, but there's no real shit involved.

>>137551168
Did anyone important actually die?

Every time. Here's a hint - if Selena Gomez fucked her entire back-up band, that would be a scandal.

>>137551176
So, I'm a normalfag because I am complaining about mods siding with normfalfags? Really? I don't think you understand how logic work because I should be rejoicing about it instead of complaining about it.

I wish I was as deep in denial as you so I can tune out those Jojo Generals/ rwby soc threads.

Nice Boat.

Yes keep bullshitting, you might have managed to fool the other gullible Anons but I know what you are.

>>137551281
This, I would rather side with gaia than facebook

>>137549385
Sugita is friends with all the three VAs involved (Terashima, Kanemoto, Ichiki) too, so that would explain the vocal reaction he had.

>>137551263
Okay, I don't know who's relevant these days, but you get my point. A "pure" teen/former teen idol fucking a bunch of people is going to piss off fans.

>>137551256
It doesn't matter though since it was moot who flat out said Naruto was ok. At which point, nothing any other anon said is going to change anything.

>>137551271
Jojo is pretty much a normalfag friendly show now, so the distinction isn't all that much different.

Hirano was never fond of the whole otaku culture, actually no seiyuu or idol is but they put up with it and also with producers dicking them for jobs. Aya on the other hand shit talked a lot and acted like an overall whore, the sex scandal was the final straw. I believe none of us could care less about her sex live but the otaku are on a whole other level when it comes to autistic fits.

Don't delude yourself, it made no difference. I doubt most of them actually post in non-shounenshit threads with any frequency, anyway. Go into their threads and you can easily tell the vast difference from most of /a/.

>>137551313
A teen idol maybe, but anyone outside of that nobody really cares

It's not like she was pushing the pure angle herself

NGNL was a non-issue. There was only one Twitter account (that's suspended long long ago) that's pushing it, and most of the so-called examples of "tracing" were contrived—some images involve cutting up the original and adjusting them individually to match Yuu Kamiya's art.

This whole shit is fucking stupid beyond belief. Like 90% of modern music in Japan and the West are about romance, sex and living life in the moment, yet people get pissed and act surprised about these rich, young, hot celebrities humping on the weekends?

Industry shitstorm as in roiling scandal? Probably Aya Hirano.

Industry shitstorm as in shook things up Evangelion-style? If "our time" = the past ten years, Madoka. There have been some major hits on a scale similar to it but they didn't actually make people think about if anime can do anything different than the usual.

>>137552003

How did Madoka change anything up? I can't think of any notable impact its had at all.

That's it?

Only 2 scandals worth mentioning? Hirano and Kokoro Connect?

I thought there were more blow ups.

>>137552096
OP asked for the biggest and those two are the biggest

>>137552058
Madoka took the usual magic girls approach and turned it on its head. There have been several attempts at making Madoka-like shows since then, some directly (such as Gen-ei and YuYuYu) and some indirectly (for example people called Wixoss a madoka-wannabe).

If shows are commonly called Madoka ripoffs these days if they feature girls, magic and suffering anywhere in the mix, it indeed had an impact.

I do remember Madoka getting a lot of marketing and publicity but aside from the edgy turn in episode 3, there wasn't much of a collective shitstorm. Everyone in 2ch knew Madoka was going to get dark at some point since Gen Urobuchi was in charge of the script.

Endless 8 is something I'd choose for shitstorms actually caused by an anime. Even 2ch was fazed by it, their usual insider sources were off about the actual episode count and the whole thing made both them and us rage hard.

E8 was a shitstorm but wasn't really influential or long-lasting. Lots of people were all "hurr I forgive you Kyoani" after the Disappearance movie. However, the Ara Hirano shitstorm occurred a few months after that and people still cite that as why we probably will never have more (Kyoani) Haruhi or Lucky Star.

He never actually said that. That video clip people cite is actually fake-subbed in.

Not to mention, a guy who owns his own studio that can make whatever the fuck he wants, and who also makes movies rather than TV anime, is not actually that attuned to the TV anime industry thus his commentary is more outside-in parroting rather than reflecting some deep wisdom.

Yeah, but it literally didn't fucking happen. If you tried talking to Japanese about it they'd assume you were paraphrasing or something rather than referring to some real event.

He's actual opinion, if he has one, wouldn't probably be more along the lines of concern over allow marketing to drive creation rather than allowing creators to produce the best possible work and bringing their success to the public. The purchasing public are jaded, not stupid. Give 'em something they know is not just new in the "hohoho no one else did this, yet?" but rather "here's some dude's crazyass mental world" and they'll tune in.

The original BRS illustration has almost nothing to do with the anime that it spawned, or the stories they told.

And Madoka has almost no overlapping features with Alien9 besides little girls, and a misleading OP. And several other anime have done that as well.

Quit being such a baka.

Remember that giant purge of porn?

>>137551258

I don't believe Madoka is that influential. Aside from a few shows trying to copy its success nothing has really changed. Compare whatever dent they made to the industry with something like SAO or K-On in recent years.

>>137552683
I'm not sure if you could say Lucky Star or K-on was more influential. They both were in different ways. Lucky Star was a megahit among otaku types and kind of accepted by non-otaku. K-on was a hit among both otaku and non-otaku. However Lucky Star preceded K-on and K-on may not have happened if LS wasn't itself a fucking huge success.

People are aware of K-on's impact, but don't seem to know how crazy Lucky Star was in Japan. Being otaku-oriented it really went off the deep end in that aspect; you could get Lucky Star napkins, underwear, fucking Lucky Star engine oil if you wanted (it was mint or peach scented). The actual shrine where the Hiiragis work became a tourist attraction in Japan with millions of "Lucky Star pilgrims" traveling there, especially for New Year's.

This was in production earlier, and for far longer than Madoka. If not for funding issues people would be calling the latter out as a clone of the former.

Madoka wasn't influential.
It made fat sick fucks watching cartoons about little girls feel better about their hobby because they had something they could say "mature" and could finaly say the line they allways wanted their father to hear : "This show is a [seemingly intelectual word] of the genre, it's worldly aclaimed as a masterpiece of art(you really want it to be art, heh? sickfuck)"

Whyle we're talking about the butcher, I'd say Saya no Uta had more true inpact, because a legion of manchilds saying an anime about magical girl is mature and artistic has for only impact to make them feel better about themselves and buy more merch in public, it gives birth to other clones but it doesn't affect the way anime is made on the long run(it may affect cartoons about little girls doing magical stuff).

It aired in two batches of episodes - the begining was fine, then the sociopath girl drama most did not like and then end of first batch - leaving people with mostly negative impression.

Then 2nd batch of episodes followed finishing the story pretty much, and it was good - setting the show to be actually one of the classics (also not quite superb): but majority either did not watch it, or did not care at this point.

Continuing anime makes no sense, since it`ll litterally be more "forced drama" i.e. more gimmics to continue resolved plot (though LN has more content)

All kinds of drugs, whether it be a party drug, synthetics or the big stuff are all banned in Japan. People that are in the spotlight (no matter how small the spotlight is) that get caught doing drugs in Japan face a very harsh punishment.

Funny vid.
>She doesnt realize she will age like milk and end up sexless and unfillfilled anyway.
Serves you right for basing your happiness on something like sex.

Meanwhile Hamada cheats and it's all ignored.

We wont be seeing Kaiji season 3, and if we did it wouldnt have the same composer. Taking drugs in Japan is career suicide.

On a similar note of career deaths, does anyone know who that h artist that later became a pornstar was?
I want to fap to her.

>>137553832
It was the other way around

>>137554977
This place is the only reason why that shitty series Watamode got an anime

>>137556072
It's actually a decent manga.

>>137556116
No it's not

maybe not a big shitstorm, but stil..

>>137554516
Is it any good? I watched the first episode and I like it so far.

>>137556311
Fuck no, the first episode was like the only half decent episode.

Keep watching it just so you can see how shitty Yamakan is and how he didn't save anime like he said

>>137556072
It's not our fault the manga is popular

>>137556311
It goes full retard.

This one

>>137548740
This stupid shit wasn't a shit storm at all.

I'd say the biggest shitstorm was when the greatest anime director to ever live died back in 2011.

>>137556822
Is someone dying really a shitstorm?

>>137556822
But Yamakan is still alive.

Enon was married to a woman within the last year, and it was a fairly secretive thing. It was probably not known outside of his close circle. It was then revealed that Enon had been fucking Becky who is a very popular TV personality. There were texts that were revealed where Enon was talking pretty badly about his wife. I think he called his divorce papers his "thesis."

Those people in the background though.

>>137554170
I know this is bait, but they did a whole lot more than just give him a role.

They held fake auditions and everything.

didn't they taze him too

t. anime pro

>>137553873
>you need to watch the episodes that aired after the fact for it to get good

This reminds me of when people say
>X show is good, you just have to make it through the first forty episodes. The last five are when it gets good.

>>137557477
I can understand if it's just a single OVA but it was 4 episodes which is a third of a show. You don't just brush that off as bandaid on the broken plot.

>>137556759
What a rip off.

>>137551490
A good handjob

>>137556759
What am I looking at here?

>>137549271
Her attitude showed afterwards that she never deserved a career.

>>137556966
Why Becky was punished but not Enon?

>>137557790
She's a voice actress and her CD is not selling well, so the company made her advertise her CD by herself.

>>137557831
Holy shit that is harsh. What were the contents of her CD?

>>137554437
I don't know whether it reflects the actual situation or not, but that break up was made fun of relentlessly on the usual end of the year show, and both parties seems to be chill with it and even played along with the jokes, so I don't think it was that much of a scandal.

It's okay, anon.
She's absolute halal now.

Shit like this is why seiyuus count as 3DPD and should be ignored

>>137557948
She's not seiyuu. She's Idol.

>>137549385
>>137551310
Didn't Sugita also ignore one of the VAs responsible at some event?
Even when they tried to speak to him, wouldn't give them the time of day.

>>137557946
Is that Arab? Looks India to me.

>>137557984
Yeah, that's covered in the pastebin someone posted (ctrl f pastebin I guess)

>>137558004
Malaysia i guess.

>>137557948
Most are an insult to the characters they play. Other than following the work of some quality seiyuus, I like to pretend they don't exist.

>>137558071
Most likely not their fault. Blame the director and their staffs. Voice acting is just a job, they do what they're told.

>>137557948
Honestly though, I couldn't give half a crap what they do outside their field of work, whether it is being a seiyuu, mangaka, director, or anything.

I prefer to differentiate their personal and professional life.
