Wow, so there ARE idiots in Japan, after all!
I thought everyone was at least average intelligence over there, but I have been proven wrong! |
That's not the definition of "average."
Anyway, we don't know whether this was rabid fanboys or the PTA, so let's all not go blaming specific sets of people without proper evidence, mmkay?

At first I thought the letters were because the show was going too far, and I was like, "Thank you, Japan, for finally coming to your senses. Maybe if more people complaining, then they're start making more good anime." But then after reading some forum posts I realized that it was more likely to be fans of the manga that were angry about content changes. Then I killed myself and posted this as a ghost, oooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

seems like this entire thread actually proves the point. There are plenty of people who will fly off the handle and post their opinions with little or no background on what the problem even is, let alone what side to take.
would these be the same type of people who are making various threats against some anime company for changing some thing about an anime?
'Yakko: Oh, sure! Take all the umbrage. Don't leave any for us.'

But isn't that the point of the Internet? And to a greater extent, forums? And to an even greater extent, forums about silly Japanese cartoons?

You've heard of Grand Theft Auto and gangsta rap, right?

It seems those harassing idiots in Japan don't know the meaning of "If you don't like something, you don't have to watch it. At least don't ruin it for others". I mean, why can't they just accept all Anime for what they are equally. Each studio is just making its own works the way it chooses to do them.

What the hell? It's not even that bad of a show! Learn to take what you get! It's freaking people that only enjoy fanservice and ecchi that make studios produce shows like BGHK to begin with!

Same as always. |
Either that or some extreme feminists. Ironically, the two extreme ends of any socio-political spectrum resolve things pretty much the same way: violence, physical and/or verbal.

Let's not forget the otaku nut bar what ran over several people with a truck, and then jumped out and stabbed several more people at random injuring 17 and killing 7 in Akihabara, because someone changed his avatar on what ever web site he lived in. That was about this time two years ago. I don't think he's been convicted, or sentenced as yet.

Why am I not surprised at your incapability to tell the differences between otaku and hikikomori.

What do you call an outed hikikomori then? Are you implying that there's no relationship between the two whatsoever?

I just checked out the first chapter of the manga. Having seen the whole anime, I can speculate that the letter writer is probably an upset fan that didn't like the lack of nudity and toning down of the main character's ero thoughts. I think the anime was done as tastefully as possi le while still keeping to the subject matter of the manga.
The letter writer surely need therapy...
As for the difference between Otaku and Hikki, it's the same as Catholics are Christian, but not all Christians are Catholic.
