Messy said: HauntingShock said: Source please. Some guys on 4chan. Not the most reliable source, I know. While I do believe 4chan isn't a reliable source for anything. Just the thought of something like that happening sounds god awful. Cause now, not only would Silver Link and King be cutting their loses and running away from the show. They'd also bastardize a 14th episode just to make an "Ichiki" character and ditch the planned 4 episode volume four web/BD release. I really liked this show too. why did the staff behind it have to be such shitheads. |
| I finally saw the news about it on animenewsnetwork. I'm not buying that, them being sincere with their apology. This :"The statement ended by promising that the entire staff of the series will seriously reflect on the incident in their future work on the program. The staff added that they are investigating the possibility of taking measures against "illegal acts" made in regards to the unauthorized usage, alteration, and uploading of sounds and images related to the series, as well as the leakage of personal information and "human rights violations" of individuals involved in the series.". I get that what we are doing right now (watching anime and posting images online) are not legal but what? What's the point to show this message in this apology? The first reaction I made is: "Oh, so you want to hide the secrets huh? I don't want the fans to reveal more nasty thing from them right?" "However, the committee members asserted that they could not convey the original intentions of their plan due to their lack of careful direction and execution, which offended many people's feelings. Despite the cooperation of Ichiki, the voice cast, and the staff, this caused confusion and offended the fans of the cast. They said that took this seriously, will reflect on this, and apologized." careful? I don't know if the translation was not good or it was really the word they used. That's not being careful or not, you don't need to be careful because you SHOULD NOT have made that prank video to begin with. Oups, I'm wrong. They SHOULDN'T have made Ichiki auditionning an "original character" with those low and cheap lines (it was so unbearable to watch). I believe that was thier intention to start with, don't even try to make an excuse for that. Future project? I hope you never get decent shows. (oh well, I just checked and the only single series that I'm enjoying made by silver link is kokoro connect) |

All 5 further episodes were going to be disc or disc/web only, and that plan hasn't changed lately either. Actually, 13 episodes are going to be broadcast. The last 4 will be BD only, possibly streamed online. The rumor of the episode count being cut down is extremely unlikely. |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: Its listed 17 episodes.....so where are these ideas about extra bd episodes coming from? I am a little confused as i had the idea that the first 4 volumes are going to be adapted in 17 episodes even in LN forums. The first four volumes of the LN are going to be adapted, and episodes 14-17 will be the show's official ending, but, although it's not entirely confirmed yet, the last four episodes (which will cover the fourth volume) are most likely going to be BD only. They still might be streamed online, but, as long as the official airing ends with episode 13, there's going to be some wait before the next episode. There's still a slight chance that the last four episodes will air regularly, but given the odd nature of a 17 episode series, it's rather easy to come to the conclusion that the airing portion of the season will end with episode 13, which will have concluded the third volume. |

| It was already confirmed that the last 4 eps won't be broadcast. You can check the news section for the show. The official site also lists the last 4 eps. and as for the whole incident, it seems like everything was planned by the production committee from the beginning..or so they claim. Even Ichiki was apparently in on the whole thing, and he WILL have a role in the final arc. It was just poor execution...very poor execution lol. link |

Well, if they were, they certainly did well on attracting attention... at least now noone can say they've not heard of the show... and judging from the fact that the "boycot" barely lasted one day, according to the sales figures, I guess they were pretty succesful... |

| "Update: The Kokoro Connect Production Committee posted another statement on Tuesday. The committee members apologized for the further confusion caused by the "insufficient explanation" posted on Sunday. The committee asserted that the original intent was to appoint Ichiki as the symbol of the anime's promotional campaign on radio, via Ustream, and at events. He would struggle in the beginning, but would overcome difficulties with his bonds with the others during the three-month "Tochi Random" caravan. The staff was also planning to make Ichiki part of the actual voice cast on or after episode 14. However, the committee members asserted that they could not convey the original intentions of their plan due to their lack of careful direction and execution, which offended many people's feelings. Despite the cooperation of Ichiki, the voice cast, and the staff, this caused confusion and offended the fans of the cast. They said that took this seriously, will reflect on this, and apologized."link *Wears sun glasses while smoking* Case closed lol Finding about the incident, how Ichiki got his dreams "crushed", how the staff "mocked" him, , how the BD sales are plummeting because of online boycotting, and how everything is just a scheme by the series' production committee and staff (hell! even Ichiki himself), and how that is a plan to cover up everything, all in one day sure made it an emotional roller coaster for me :D I may know nothing about this (I don't know what's true anymore) the point is - unless you're involved yourself or you know what really is happening, it is best that you just stand in the corner and be a bystander. Don't cause any unnecessary fires please, yes? \o/ |

| did something happen? i mean the sales went back to normal last week . now it went to same as the boycott level : http://www27392u.sakura.ne.jp/show.cgi?n=B008KJJN92 its kinda weird after they apologized and said that chiki will get hes role in the volume 4 , then why they boycott it again ? |

It has indeed plummeted so much in the last few hours... Its lowest rank was 735 on July 27th btw. It's now at rank 724 =/ Maybe there's a few people who just found out about it recently? There's a few more 1/5 reviews on Amazon JP... |

| I just can't understand this. Of cause this "joke" was too much. But boycotting a really good show because of this. It's just stupid. I could understand such thing from americans but other once should not mix such things. |
 |
| I really liked Kokoro Connect for it's wonderful soul switching arc, man that was funny. Art is very modern and I like it! Hmm, Wonder what is going to happen to the VA's that are involved in this incident. |
  |
| I'm really disappointed in how this incident has blown up the way it has. So many people are getting pulled into the mess who were never involved in the incident at all. From what I've read, I really admire Ichiki's response to the situation; trying to contain the damage, placate fans and keep the show going for the sake of those who love it, whilst defending those who were not involved but were pulled into the whole mess. He had the chance to take advantage of the sympathy garnered for him, and decided not to take it for the greater good. I might just be cold, but I really do feel like boycotting the show isn't going to do any good, and quite frankly, it would be a pity to see Silver Link and Kokoro Connect go down as the result of this badly planned prank. The former has good animation, and the latter's proven to be really good so far. It's a pity that this incident should leave such a mark, but I feel that so long as Ichiki receives proper compensation and those responsible properly apologize, we should let bygones be bygones. People have made worse mistakes with more frivolous actions. Don't forget; but forgive. |

| It was bad when i read about it but turn out horrible when i watched Ustream.. BUT that doesn't affect my opinion on the show itself or rating. What they did was truly horrible and involved peoples should be penalized and especially the ones who came up with this stupid prank. I really feel sorry for author and other staff/producers who will face loses even though they weren't directly involved. Too bad if it doesn't get another season. This show was good, actually lot better than some boring stuff getting higher ratings and sales. |

| LoL at random hate at an animu based on what real people do in their lives. Yeah it was a massive fuck up, no I don't agree with it, but why would it stop you enjoying Kokoro, its not like Inaba just popped out of the screen and took a dump on your face, seriously some people. Seems episode 14 is not going to get aired, does anyone know what the broadcast plan is? I have heard the rest may be brought out in OVAs, anyone have anything solid that's just what I hear from bakabt. |

| why the surprise? have you forgotten hirano aya? shows may be cancelled out of nowhere for the stupidest reason posible 'cause LOLJAPIN |
| Will Kokoro Connect continue? I hate to see it end like that just because of a prank... |
Ginko-Senpai said: but why would it stop you enjoying Kokoro After I watched this video, I feel so bad for the guy -.- (Revelant part: starting from 1:07:20) I can see his painful smile after that, and the involved party laughed that off just like that.. |

| 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. |
| I just finished this show and then found out about this... sooooo no more second seasons! No more rounds! Boy, one bad PR day sure has EVERYTHING to do with us now doesn't it? I enjoyed this show greatly (9), but seeing this tells me that there's just no hope for it at all. So in the end, this show had a sad ending |

| Ah great. The title was on the top of my list too -_- |
| Sorry, Image unavailable. Only awesome people can see it. |

symbv said: ^ To be honest, I think it is all part of a grand marketing plan instead of real bullying though. I have to agree with you; after watching the video, I'm not convinced. A couple of things to bare in mind, these are professional voice 'Actors', acting is what they do for a living, and their not paid nearly as much as you might think to do that. I recommend watching this video, where Yuu Asakawa describes what the voice acting industry is like. Is anyone familiar with the movie: The Network? where a news anchor has a nervous breakdown while on the air, and rather then pulling the broadcast, the network decides to make it their prime focus, thus boosting their ratings in the process. Anyone familiar with: Densha Otoko? which is supposedly the 'real story' of an otaku that saves a beautiful women on a train, afterwords she gives him her number and a gift in return, and he goes online to get help from other otaku, where he gradually changes himself, starts dating her, and in the end eventually marries her; though the story is generally regarded as total fiction, the people that produced it made a killing off of it. Aya Hirano is another example, though my opinion of her as a seiyuu is indifferent: regardless of the controversy surrounding her, whether if she does something by choice, by her agencies instruction, or if it's a well spread rumor, though she may lose fans as a result, she still maintains her position at top 3rd on MyAnimeList and seiyuu Twitters. Never underestimate the power of a good gimmick; the more depraved it is, the hotter it sells. ^_^; Personally, I feel that the whole thing was staged, and didn't play out as they had expected it to. In regards to people that are still spreading hate around, the only person that has the right or justification to do that is Mitsuhiro Ichiki himself; and he has stated that he has no hard feelings over the situation, and has asked people to knock it off; whether if he did that by choice or by his agencies order, is completely irreverent, he said to stop, so it should stop. |
