maybe you can visit the shrine she hid at? not quite as fun as visiting a kissaten destroyed in a street tank battle from GuP... but hey, tourism is yen is good so any tie in will be used these days no matter how small.

I thought the title of this article was that terrorists attacked a town that's the setting in an anime haha...

.....that'd be a lot more interesting at least.

Nice PR posters. It says you can get them if you visit that town now. It would surely attract tourists.

I checked Kotoura Newsletter. Gee, they hire native English speakers as TAs for English class. Must be fun to live there.

No, but seriously, I can understand why it happened for GuP since we saw during a tank fight what the city looked like, but for Kotoura-san, meh.

Wonder what's the big deal. There was nothing in the show that was any different from any other town. Just a school and a street.
You forgot the home town of Kotoura-san IS KOTOURA-CHOU (you can see it in the train station in the latest episode). Perhaps the English sub did not translate that? Or people miss it when watching the show??

Besides, as the initial post said, the author got the name for Kotoura-san by picking the name from the name of the town. So it is only natural that he agrees with the town's proposal of using the manga for a collaboration project to boost local tourism. NOW THAT IS THE BIG DEAL - How often did you see collaboration coming from this kind of back story??
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Wow. This is pretty interesting. I wonder how the people of the town feel about all of the business though.
