I regret putting this series off until now. Did /a/ burn to the ground the day this episode aired?
>>156078455
Nah, most already dropped the show before that ep aired.
>>156078495
Really? Seems like something /a/ would have watched.
>>156078495
Lies, /a/ was completely down for the body-swap arc.
/a/ was drowned in Inaba-posting the entire run.
Cross-boarders would even pop-up asking for sauce on "le masturbating anime girl".
>5 years ago
>>156078455
I lost the picture of the catalog flooded with the exact same image. But yeah, it happened.
>>156078455
Yes.
>>156078495
Lies.
>>156078455
I remember being pissed off at the needless drama. Worstgirl became increasingly worse and got even more and more screen time.
Thank god bestgirl Inaba put that bitch in her place by the end.
>really like concepts of the show
>Inaba a best of all time
>garbage pacing and build-up
>melodrama out the ass to advance the plot
Great idea, shit execution, especially past the first arc. Not even Inaba could carry the show, even though she got close.
>>156078455
It was disappointing and not worth the time and emotions invested.
>>156080405
Exactly how I feel about this show
Inaba is great, only really finished it because of her
>>156078861
it's shit, bro.
I guess. I remember it being a much bigger deal on /v/ desu. The real heat began when the whole bullying scandal arose.
>>156078861
>>156080591
Its seems like some /a/ would have watched.
I remember people made endless spam threads with the cap from the OP. What did they post along with it? Ironically calling it AOTY or something?
>>156078455
All I remember of it is that screencap and some bullying scandal causing episodes to get delayed.
It was nothing special.
>>156080405
>>156080548
>Inaba wins the Taichib Owl
>Now feel the crushing loss she can never be Waifu material
And now then I understood and supported the way the Japanese treat Idols.
Really forgettable in the long run. What was plant-dude's end-game anyway? Just to watch some kids jerk-off?
>There are people on /a/ right now that don't think Inaba was the best thing to come out of 2012
>>156078455
Didn't this show tank because of amateur seiyuu bullying?
all I remember about this was all of the forced drama
>>156082067
>amateur seiyuu bullying
What the fuck? What happened
>>156081995
>implying opinions
>>156082146
Forced drama was literally it's only plot.
>>156079244
FUCK
FUUUUUUUUUCK
HOW HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG
I REMEMBER THE SHITSTORM LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY
>>156082310
What to be more depressed? We'll never get a season 2 and the people behind the bullying were not only not punished and blacklisted, but are getting top jobs in the industry.
>>156082242
A small summary is on the wikipedia article.
>>156081995
I do, but that's merely because it was a garbage year overall. The only other worthwhile stuff to come out was Daily lives of highschool boys and sequels to already aired shows.
>>156078455
Oh god, I just finished watched it the other day, and I want more. Why did they have to fuck up with the PR stunt?
>>156081444
>Now feel the crushing loss she can never be Waifu material
what do you mean by that?
>>156082559
Hes the sort of person that cant waifu a fictional character if shes canonically in a relationship.
>>156082242
>Taichi and Yui VAs in charge of holding audition for some minor role
>Newcomer VA auditions
>"there was never an audition"
>"this is just a PR stunt and you got pranked"
>"...Oh...haha"
Goddamn if this isn't one of the dumbest ideas the industry's ever seen. I mean what the fuck did they actually think would happen. Now we'll never get more Inaba.
>>156082743
that's simply retarded, by that logic you couldn't waifu dead characters
>>156082859
It was worse than that, the producer lied to the guy and said he was going to be a new character created for the anime and had him do all sorts of over the top demos.
When the series was announced he was brought out and told it was all a lie, they showed his booth session of being a fool and relegated him to just promoting the series.
To add salt to the wound, some of the voice actors forced him to participate in Batsu which included, but not limited to tasing him. And one of the girl voice actors writing who it was so much fun to break him.
Oh and the guy who was bullyed was originally scheduled to go to EVO but cancelled it for that original audition.
tl;dr the producer and some of the voice actors (not Inana's thank god) ruined everything and got off the hook.
>>156082242
Here's the good ol pastebin: https://pastebin.com/EvntSeCV
I lost my image collection a few years back and the archives don't go back to when the series went out. Anyone will to dump what they got?
>>156082999
>tl;dr the producer and some of the voice actors (not Inana's thank god) ruined everything and got off the hook.
But inabas VA didn't create her. The producer created her persona and all the lines for the VA to act out.
>>156081848
Better end-game than I have desu
>Check the archive.
>Some posts from 2011 saved
>They're speculating that Kyoani is going to animate the series
Can you imagine what timeline that would have been like?
>There are people browsing /a/ today who weren't here during one of the biggest happenings in the history of our board
Melodrama out the ass. Inaba was the only redeeming quality for this shitfest.
>>156084881
>>156086499
It's sad that we don't have a good archive anymore. Ponyfuckerarchive is missing a lot of the old threads, and while fireden has most threads and thumbnails from the foolz dump, I'm pretty sure its search hasn't worked for a long time.
A simple search on google, such as: kokoro connect 2012 site:fireden.net, will show some threads
For example, a civil discussion about masturbation
https://foolz.fireden.net/a/thread/69386635/
And then later 4channers spammed dick pics to Eri Kitamura on twitter until she closed her account, even though she wasn't involved in the bullying (this was probably aided by the insane 2ch conspiracy theory that involved her fucking the producer who set up the bullying incident)
https://foolz.fireden.net/a/thread/70921593/
Browsing by pages also works but is quite tedious if you're looking for threads about specific topics. It does give a good overview of the board on any specific date in the past, however. Here's one page with a KC thread,

>>156088524
The good thing is I'm currently a NEET, so time is not a rare commodity to me. Maybe I should consider becoming a historian on 4chan reading through the old stuff.
God forbid I remember the age when mods weren't always fags.
>>156078495
That was like episode 3 or 4.
>>156078455
man , the ones having inaba has their waifu are beast
not like those other filthy baboons who change waifus everytime some new anime airs.
it's been 5 years my man , and people still can't forgget about inaba
>>156078455
>we'll never get a S2
>we'll never see the date chapters animated
I just want more of these two, is that so much to ask for?
>>156082408
Ah, real life.
>>156088895
i wish so bad to be apart of a community like that.
>>156089312
You don't forget perfection when you see it.
>>156078455
My favorite KyoAni anime.
>>156078455
Inaba still a best.
When I'm having a really bad time I go back and watch various Inaba scenes. God, Sawashiro's voice was amazing in this and paired up with a great girl.
>>156092874
Are you me?
>>156089312
You remembered to get her figure, right?
>>156094118
At least post some lewd angles
