Iijime Connect corporate statements #2: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-...ormer-treatment

We apologize, but we're everyone who uploaded embarrassing videos and slandered us on Twitter is going to be sued.

Ironically, the fan rage may have cost Ichiki his job.

QUOTE

The committee asserted that the original intent was to appoint Ichiki as the symbol of the anime's promotional campaign on radio, via Ustream, and at events... during the three-month "Tochi Random" caravan. The staff was also planning to make Ichiki part of the actual voice cast on or after episode 14.

Episodes 14-17 are going to be the OVA which is the logical place to insert an anime-original character.

And isn't this the real story?

QUOTE

The Kokoro Connect/Ishiki controversy garnered attention after Hajime Kikuchi, a member of the band eufonius, made denigrating comments toward singer Halko Momoi on Twitter. Kikuchi later apologized for his comments, but both Kikuchi and Momoi have stopped using the service since then.

I like that one 4chan write-up on pastebin saying how Yamakan commented that this is highly ironic because 2ch is the worst internet bullies yet they're trying to defend someone from being bullied. And 4chan just screw things up with that Kitaeri thing and generally making things worse. I think the eufonious dude is just enjoying himself too much. No comment on him or Momoi for that matter. Actually the whole thing is basically like, something happens, but people just got too excited over incomplete information and ended up making things worse.

Has anyone watched their stuff on YouTube? Last time I tried Viki (for Ozma) was a mess.

Also, Paku Romi had some polyps removed from her vocal chords. That's a scary thing in this profession.

December comes quick. What kind of dubbing will they be able to do in that time?

My memory is that Aniplex or someone at Otakon said that someone had Penguin drum (as Sentai is styling it, and how you have to search for it to find it on RightStuf), but they didn't say who.

They're releasing Penguin drum as two collections, so it doesn't have to all be dubbed by December, just the first half of the series.

I've already got both Horizon and Penguin drum pre-ordered.

Hmm. Missed the news, somehow. Funny, it was one of the titles I've been keeping my eye out for.

Even stranger is that I knew about Letter Bee.

Eek. I need to get more sleep. I read that ANN forum thread (well, at least the first bit).

Eeek eek. Lots more sleep. I even commented on the news in the August news thread.

Yukikaze gets full blown blu-ray treatment in japan with eng dub/sub
https://twitter.com/WTK/status/242816518029729794

I hope this will convince Viz media or someone else to translate the third Yukikaze novel into English. As it stands, only the first two (Yukikaze and Good Luck Yukikaze) have been translated---and I'm finding I love the novel renditions a hell lot better. The author's writing style is VERY much like Philip K Dick's old work...
