Watching K-ON! fans are convinced this whole episode represents a deliberate effort to slight K-ON!, and must be evidence of considerable animosity, if not hatred, of the show by Yamakan – certainly it is hard to explain his actions any other way.

After publicly mocking K-ON! and defacing one of its cast, Yamakan has been the target of otaku death threats.

After plucking the head off of Ui, 2ch’s legion of creepy K-ON! fans was in uproar, with one fan going so far as to threaten the Haruhi producer with death: “I’ll cut off Yamakan’s head to punish him for the grievous crime of insulting K-ON!”

He was subsequently reported to police and faces probable arrest unless savvy enough to have employed an anonymous proxy.

As if this fracas were not enough, at the same event Yamakan apparently also went on to insult seiyuu Kana Hanazawa upon seeing her video, saying “her face is huge” amongst other unfriendly remarks.

With the atmosphere at the event thickening fast he then proceeded to tangle with the CEO of Good Smile Company, who light-heartedly remarked “that was an amusing teen movie” – Yamakan ignored him completely and then left the event.

Many have remarked that it appears Yamakan’s real talent is not for anime direction but instead for annoying people.

So yeah, he didn't think his actions through... (asking for a death wish)

I wonder what he said about K-ON though...

Possible reasons would be:
1) Was bored.
2) Doesn't like K-ON!
3) The same people who liked/loved Kagami/Konata/Miyuki/Tsukasa moved on to Mio/Ritsu/Yui/Tsumugi...
4) Success is getting to him (Black Rock Shooter).
5) I don't know why he did that...

Oh my.... K-on!! Fans in Japan are HxC to the Max! killing someone? dang man these K-on! fans are the complete opposite from the show it self lol

bhl88 · 2010-07-31, 03:18

lol they are more Haruhi than K-ON! -> a.k.a. violent extreme /b/

Lord of Fire · 2010-07-31, 10:34

Just goes to show you, do NOT mess with otaku, be it K-ON! or otherwise.

Nice going there. Actually come to think of it, it seems directed more towards Kyoani itself rather than the show

Vexx · 2010-08-02, 20:25

yeah, yeehaw.... classic "entertainment industry hate". I'm fine with him being bitter with KyoAni because they really didn't handle that well and we know Yamakan directs well (e.g. Kannagi). However, attacking what are generally well-received works by the company just makes him look juvenile and leads one to believe KyoAni may have not been in left field when they canned him.

possibly angry or scared of K-ON!'s Publicity, I bet hes worried it will become more then Haruhi

Now SEGA http://www.sega.com is the new Sponsor for K-On! ( I see the change in episode 17).

Waiting for a Nintendo 3DS - K-On! Game.

shyezrylei · 2010-08-03, 10:39

I really wish they release a K-ON!! game for the consoles, that would totally be relevant.

Yeah and I just had a PSP too and that's why they need to release a K-ON game for consoles. For people who don't have a PSP or any other handheld. Plus, 3-D HTT on a big screen would be sweet!

I'd love one for the ps3 :0 with uncharted 2's graphics :Q______

Lord of Fire · 2010-08-03, 11:45

Well, at the very least they drew in a big sponsor, so I take it the quality isn't going seriously downhill anytime soon.

A K-ON! game, aside from the PSP one, would be awesome.

A game where you have to eat cake in order to avoid practice?

I would love a Rock Band filled with japanese rock/pop music but the chances of that happening are rather slim...

K-On! to end in September? (NSFW)

This supposedly applies for both the anime and the manga.

DISCUSS!

bloppyblue · 2010-08-07, 23:00

-heartbreak-

At least it'll end on a high note :') We can avoid the pain of witnessing a horrible downfall.

It's alright. K-ON will never die!!
