Comiket 83 executive committee announced on the official website that three threatening letters, presumably placed by copycat blackmailers, were found at Kuroko no Basket block of Comiket 83. However, they decided to continue the event with the great help of the police because it could have provoked more copycats if they had given in to the threat. Picture of the empty KuroBas block at Comiket 83 Comiket staff stated that the restraints upon the freedom of expression, not limited to Kuroko no Basket, will continue unless the threatening stops. They said they will keep on doing their best to protect the long-standing culture. Source: Comiket 83 Related topic: Kuroko no Basket Gets Banned at Comiket 83 Modified by dtshyk, 12-31-12, 6:10 AM |

There's more letters now? God, what's up with those assholes disturbing such a peaceful event with bullshit like that. Fucking sick.  The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one. - Albert Einstein |

Now there are more of them trying to copy the original? How long is this going to go on... I'm glad it didn't affect the second season of the anime from being made but something like this can wear down on a person... |

These fuckersbasement-dwellers need a hobby or something. Haganai Live Action Movie Yozora: "Finally..... Popularity..... Me on the big screen." Sena: "I'll be the star of this movie!" Kodaka: "Huh, what was that?" |

There's so much fuss over this anime/manga, is it really that good? Don't tell me it's because of shipping... Criticism, my art. Cultured anime, my passion. |

I expected more blocks for KnB... And more of this shit again? This is why the current anime industry is going downhill, and alot of things contributed to that ._.

I still don't get it either, and no it's not because of something as minor and trivial as that, though i wouldn't know lol |

Japan also seems to have a thing for basketball. Now that I think of it. Criticism, my art. Cultured anime, my passion. |

Yeah, Slam dunk was a very huge success, and the manga Real is also doing pretty well :p, i think among the crapton of the moe stuff being released in the recent years, stuff like this is one of the few genres left that attracts the general (non-otaku) audience. so it's likely someone who has something against the mangaka i think. |

Shit like this doesn't help when people there are so close minded to begin with. Inb4 Kuroko no Basket makes you a criminal. Criticism, my art. Cultured anime, my passion. |

Inb4 Kuroko no Basket makes you a criminal. Japan is actually one of the most "open-minded" countries. It's just that they dislike the anime fandoms because of their obsessive hobbies and their "wasted lives", and when you think about it, it's kind of understandable. and it's not just in japan, this applies anywhere. |

I hope this stops once and for all soon. This has hurt the KuroBasu franchise greatly. We just all want to enjoy one our favorite series. :(  |

Downgrade355 said: I expected more blocks for KnB... From the "Anime Sales in Japan 2013" Mania thread. Kurobas makes up around 8% of the doujin circles just listed here. It'd be less if there are more circles dedicated for other less popular anime. That's the scope of the ban at Comiket though. I'm neutral about Kurobas... but I think these threatening letters has gone far enough. It's not good for the anime industry as a whole, because what would happen if people started to threaten other popular anime series? Just some random stuff - change in number of doujin circles focusing on the most popular anime at Comiket, with the + or - being change from 2011. 2442 (-284) - Touhou 1014 (-112) - Tiger & Bunny *900 (new) - Kuroko no Basuke [KuroBas got barred from Comiket due to the threat letters] *744 (+254) - iDOLM@STER *688 (-160) - Hetalia *622 (-96) - Sengoku Basara *514 (+50) - Vocaloid *426 (-72) - Tennis no Ouji-sama *424 (+132) - Magi *414 (+12) - Precure *400 (+6) - Fate/[etc] *346 (-82) - Uta no Prince-sama *324 (+66) - Nintama Rantarou *318 (-106) - Gintama *272 (-8) - Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha *264 (-20) - Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica *262 (-118) - Ribbon [dunno what this refers to; the shoujo manga anthology?] *250 (-108) - Inazuma Eleven *232 (-136) - Ao no Exorcist *230 (-44) - Tales of [etc] *208 (-54) - One Piece  |
