But she didn't take it to twitter? |

From what I understand, Akasaka and Mengo lifted some of the Twitter comments attacking Hana Kimura wholesale to portray the Twitter mob against Akane. |

With all due respect, my friend, the fudge are you smoking? |

Don't you love it when people do the stupidest things to try and get attention? While I certainly sympathize with the mother, it's abundantly clear she's doing this for the attention. If she truly had a problem with this, she would have taken issue with it when the manga got to this point, years ago. Not now when an anime adaptation became a global hit that she just wants a piece of. Also, that aside, this kind of thing is scarily common in Japan (as is the stalking of idols, as we saw in this story's prologue).

She should've filed a complaint to the studio. |

Sounds like the entire theme of this series has gone over your head, huh? |

How up your own ass are you? Without looking it up online, could you say what chapter of the manga the scenes are from? The amount of media coverage a single or handful of chapters get is not remotely comparable to a single episode of it's anime adaptation. That boost in coverage is literally one of the reasons why adaptations get made. The fact that certain media receive less coverage is why it's easier to slip certain things in (more graphic violence, nudity, sex). Things that do not get noticed or become a big deal until the adaptation, at which point they are usually toned down by comparison. Also, japanese people do not consume nearly as much manga (books) as foreigners think, which is another reason why tv adaptations get made. RE: the article. Since they used the actual hate messages her daughter got it's reasonable for the mother to be upset. This wasn't just a similar story. We are clearly meant to think specifically of her daughter's death. |

the only valid thing I see in that article is this:
Which is also not related to Aka, anime producers should've put the warning message at the beginning of the episode, not the end. The suicide story was just a typical cyberbully plot, yeah unfortunately it resembles Hana's death but was it intentional? I don't think so. The manga started only one month prior to Hana's death. I'm pretty sure most mangakas plan their story way before the original run, specially Aka. |

As much as this episode may be trigger painful memories for the people involved in the actual incident (especially considering the event) and while the anger is understandable, the studio and the mangaka owe her nothing.
As is, this is not a private affair but something that appeared on news and the likes. The author had, therefore, no obligations whatsoever. Maybe more tact should have been used? Possibly. But aside that... And while I understand why the producers put the message at the end, this is pure hypocrisy, IMO. |

Akane's hate messages aren't similar to Hana's ones, have you even seen them? bruh. Hate messages in the manga look more similar to the messages I receive on Twitter. Of course, if you want to believe they're similar then you can relate to them, or at anything, just like Hana's mother. |

People really love playing the victim and making media "the bad guy" without even researching what they're about to see. 
When I sense something is gonna take me out of my comfort zone, I turn it off! How hard is that to do!? |

the number of people reacting with condescension, disdain and revulsion towards a woman very understandably and justifiably upset seeing HER DAUGHTER'S [expletive] SUICIDE as the basis for a widely advertised and promoted anime episode is absolutely vile. y'all need to learn some empathy.

The lack of empathy in a lot of these comments when the arc they're defending the right to exist calls out the exact attitude is kind of amazing. I guess it's easier to care about the feelings of the anime girl than a real person /s

I'd take anything UnseenJapan "reports" with a grain of salt. They're pretty infamous and have been called out by Japan numerous times. |

I don't think the nation of Japan has issued an advisory warning about Unseen Japan. |
