That aside I found the "ant and cockroach" comment quite hilarious, it was innovative, although no less insulting. Japanese fans do seem to have soft kidneys. The OP side ain't much better I mean they could explain things pacifically and calmly, guess their fuse is just as short. |

I'm curious...Is this skirmish occurring from the Japanese fanbase, or is it on the Western side of it?

Huh, I saw Oda's comment a few days ago on Crunchyroll News, but Viz's translation made it seem much more friendly.
So was Viz's translation wrong (since ANN's translation does sound much more agressive) or are the "Love Livers" (oh god why) exaggerating? Probably the latter... |

Maybe Love Live and iDOLMaster fans can finally come together and join forces against their mutual enemy....One Piece. In all seriousness as someone with a soft spot for all three I don't get the constant need for fan groups to find something to get indignant over but if its not that itd be something else. |

I think Oda is to blame. Wording can have different effects on people. People would react differently to "Why did the temple collaborate with an idol anime?" and "I'm curious about the collaboration between the temple and that anime."
Maybe he's just curious. Let's see how it boils over. |

HA. Classic internet.
I'm not even sure the original comment was meant to be offensive but a simple question. I'd definitely like to see the comment in Japanese. |

Thank you. I'm not alone in the livers confusion. *brofist* Why not Lifers? Ah well, that's the least ridiculous aspect of this whole thing. Both sides of this are overreacting. Even if Oda did mean it to be insulting (which doesn't seem to be the case, at all) SO. EFFING. WHAT? How does his personal opinion affect a Love Live fan's enjoyment of that series?  This all seems so silly.

People here are forgetting that the Love Live fans insulted and even threatened Oda.
I don't see how it is childish or overreacting to be angry and respond with in such manner. Though the best action would be to ignore the comments. |

Is "Livers" an official name for Love Live fans or was it just randomly picked by whoever wrote the report? Because the choice of word if unfortunate and weird at best.
Other than that, I wish I could say I'm baffled that this kind of "fandom war" erupted from such a stupid thing, but I guess that's the internet and otaku for you. |

What I find funny is the comment that nobody cares about One Piece anymore. Whoever wrote that clearly doesn't follow ratings and sales.

Honestly? The lowest in this situation are ANN and any other news source that chooses to represent a whole fandom by stupid comments from the requisite supervocal fringe crazies.
But if we want to have a debate between short popular series and long popular series, might I just say... the Love Live anime does the shonen-genre standard (young characters chasing their goals through the power of friendship and hard work) better than anything else, in only 26 episodes. (Yeah, I realize that's not what this is about, though. And tbh, I went to Kanda Myojin shrine during the promotion, and I did think the whole thing was a little weird. And how Love Live fans seemed to take the actual Kanda Matsuri day as a fandom holiday. I... probably shouldn't talk though, because I chose to go to Kanda Myojin on Nozomi's birthday and I had a Nozomi plushie on my bag, and got a Nozomi soda from the Love Live drink stand, and posted it on instagram...) |

I am still pretty sure the Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase is the worst. And I would know because I am a Sonic fan. |

In Japan the group that goes around Akihabara decked out in layers of Love Live merchandise are referred to as Rabu Raiba which is a play on how the series name is pronounces. Livers is an approximate translation |
