Tales Of The Industry - They Shoot Their Hostages, Don't They?

So far these articles are timing very well with episodes of Shirobako in that the fanficiton accusations are not entirely off-base.

I guess I'm not really following the "fanfiction" accusation logic.

The names are changed, the stories are real. They're dictated to Justin by his colleagues in the industry. How is that "fanfiction"?

I'm sorry, but what the hell difference does it make what show it was?

I have to admit, this is an instance where I would shove that cup at the manufacturer, pronto!

As for strict Japanese demands, I once had to print out 1600 surveys for people to fill out just to attend a free concert--and even though the concert happened two days in a row (same venue, music, etc.), the people attending *had* to fill out the survey, even if they attended the day before. Funnily enough, the surveys were no longer necessary the following year. I can only imagine that the hoops my group made the Japanese company jump through (the surveys were only required if the concerts had more than 400 attendees, which they definitely could have) was a strong motivating factor. ^^; Plus, the handwriting on those surveys was atrocious, so very little information could be obtained from them.

I think the guy made it pretty clear which era it was when he talked about how people still complain about the release of this anime nearly a decade later.

Except for Canada (those weaklings).

Yeah, you're right. I looked it up, and the rebellions in Canada were not only a lot smaller than the other countries', but they seem mostly concentrated in Quebec. I always thought Canada had its own wars with the British Empire too.

And at the same time, get "Brad" in hot water?

Warning to the editors: There are a lot of forums on different sites trying to figure out the title of the series being discussed. Just thought you should know since I'm sure this greatly violates the anonymity you are trying to achieve.
