| That is too bad...I wish I could donate. x_x |
    |
| Pics are dead |
 |
| The pictures are working fine for me. I wonder how the people who didn't get to eat that cake felt though heh. |
     |
| Meh, what can you say. its Keion |
| If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |
Pw3age said: Pics are dead Seems to be working fine for me. Hopefully they catch whoever stole them and at least get the items back. |
 |
| Burglarizing K-ON stuff.. must be an otaku who did it. |
Pw3age said: Pics are dead I guess direct links to the official blog caused some problem. replaced with photobucket. |
| Wow... hardcore K-ON fans, yes? Lol. It be cool to go to that school, though. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| hahaha funny. otaku thief steals k-on merch XD what is the world coming too |

| This is a little obsessive, don't you think? Japan and their tastes. |
| Oh, I wish I could've stolen that :( I mean-- SEEN that.. yeah.. *teehee* On a more serious tone, that room looks (looked) EPIC. |
 |
| On one hand I'm going, stealing's wrong and it's not worth jail time to get your hands on some random toys and musical instruments. On the other hand I'm really jealous that this guy's got enough limited edition K-On merchandise to start up a shrine for HTT And somewhere in the back of my mind I'm quite sure someone's getting a kick out of the red and blue posters of Mio and Azusa in swimsuits on the right |
 |
| Omg! That stuf looks so cool! I wonder if the theaf was a hardcore fan or something? xD I might steel..if its Bleach stuff. XP hehe |
"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark" |
| Japanese fans always as obsessive as this though so, normal ┐('～`；)┌ ? |
| That's a little sad. They even stole some of the figures. I'm just a little surprised an otaku had the balls to pull it off... and that he actually pulled it off. |
 |
| lame =D oh and that cake sure looks nice though |
     ~Nyaaa~   |
| The thing about the K-On is that it needs to be cooled down a bit. i mean the people are currently too much obsessed with it. There are other good anime's out there with a better story and plot development. |

| That's really awesome. But I find it funny that the fans who are celebrating Azusa's Birthday are mostly boys... creepy |
  |
| Azusa's birthday party :3 |
 |
| too bad :( |
| Y'know, the birthday party is just another event, you meet people, chat, have a good time, eat. I don't see why it's pathetic. Au contraire I think being an otaku and calling other otakus pathetic because of how they enjoy their lives, seems quite pathetic indeed. |
|
| Even though I would not say 'pathetic' I do think that celebrating the birthday of a character might be a bit extreme... But I do see there are other reasons to go there. However, stealing stuff that was donated... and why in hell would you want to steal 22 little figures and three guitars anyway? |

 And on the edge of sanity I stumble and fall. |
| now thats dedication. and i used to think that Japan had the lowest crime rates in the world... |
| K-ON or not... Stealing merchandise from a store is one thing but stealing DONATED items by individuals is beyond fucked up. It's like stealing clothes from the Salvation Army. I can understand the robber's hardcore fandom or uncontrollable urge to sell free stolen goods on Ebay or something; but man at least have a conscience. Shit. Plus the party looks fun; if we celebrate dead people's birthdays I don't see why it's pathetic to celebrate your favorite anime character's birthdays. Besides, you don't see that kind of epic party for Abraham Lincoln. |

He wouldn't dare sell the figurines, though he might sell Gitar or Bessu for a bit of extra cash. Imagine surfing eBay and seeing the very figurines you donated being put up for sale. Bloody sic the cops on the bugger. Then again, we should hope he sells the stuff, if only so that he can get caught |

| I can't believe this is count as a news as well.. |
andgucps said: now thats dedication. and i used to think that Japan had the lowest crime rates in the world... One incident says nothing about crime rates. Japan is not devoid of crime either, so this is just one of the many crime cases. Anyway, stealing is bad, regardless of where they come from or what they are. I hope they catch this idiot.

| wtf....Japan always doesn't fail to surprise me... |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| That's just odd... I'd understand the guitars and such but figurines... seriously? Not only that, I fail to seriously understand the meaning behind Azusa's b-day party at some place where they'd celebrate it. I mean come on! |
     |
| Wow, that's some extreme dedication. Even though i would love to have all that merchandise, stealing is wrong. btw, i would love to go to that party, cake looks yummy ^^ |
 |
| It always sucks when I hear that anime or manga goods were stolen, especially when they were donated by fans. |
| another one again he won't get that far |

LOL we have fangirls making incisions on their neck and asking Robert Pattinson to suck their blood, so I think celebrating a little girl's birthday shouldn't be considered "crazy shit" |
