Okay I'm going to have difficulty coming up with a bad anime that people won't defend. So just pretend I said you most hated bad anime in place of either of those two. The point likely still stands.

I'd rather not poo poo up the thread with off topic arguments.

TBH the problem element here is you. At least you're living up to your gimmick, good job. :thumbsup:

Well, poo poo. And here I figured all the new posts were reacting to a surprise S2 announcement.

Has anyone drawn a 'goose that laid the golden eggs' Friend yet? Seems like the most applicable allegory.

Just have a drawing of a Phoenix friend conquering Japari Park and subjugating the other friends.

What... What happened in Girlish Number... :ohdear:

It's like Shirobako, except instead of the staff coming together and managing to salvage a project that's gone off the rails, everyone is a terrible person and the production turns into a massive trainwreck. It's wonderful.

Shirobako is a well-respected anime about making anime. In it, there's a lot of hiccups in the production, but they pull through because the staff works really hard and are passionate about making a good show.

That is not the plot of Garish Number.

You should at least watch Shirobako, it's quite good and sort of educational!

It's even better. The text says something like "this obstruction is a bit not wonderful", where I'm guessing the "wonderful" was translated from "sugoi".

But the word they've used in Chinese, 妙, is pronounced "miao".

The closest acceptable translation is
"die properly"
One of Kadokawa's executives posted some comments about the issue a couple hours ago. Here's the gist of it:

- Kadokawa is only part of the Kemofrie committee (hence his reluctance to speak until discussing things).
- He sees Tatsuya as having a major role in the franchise's success.
- He regrets not noticing the fallout sooner.
- There have been at least 2 meetings with Yaoyorozu since last week, and he noticed the committee's views and the studio's views are very different.
- The main reason for the firing was conflicting viewpoints regarding copyright usage and some of Tatsuya's tweets.
- He wants to continue talks with Yaoyorozu about where to go from here.

Overall a more positive development than all we've been hearing lately.

Nothing was specified so it's hard to tell.

Even if they are trying to salvage things, at least someone important realizes they screwed up. It still doesn't explain the unnecessary apologies from the voice actresses but...

Who else is one the Kemofure committee? Presumably Kadokawa cares mostly about bottom lines and reputation, so they're likely going to try and fix what they can to calm the uproar, but who else in the committee would be against Yaoyozoru?

I’m guessing stuff like the voice actress thing is “business as usual” when it comes to damage control and PR but Kadokawa either didn’t realize or mostly ignored the unique circumstances of this particular controversy. And it seems based on these recent developments they’ve wisened up.

Let’s hope this leads to good things, though that’s not guaranteed at all.
