Top eroge producer Circus, famous for Da Capo and others, recently suffered a major fire at one of their facilities.
Pictures of the “burnt out” Circus building and attendant fire engines quickly circulated on 2ch, causing many to fear the worst, but when Sankaku Complex raised the issue with an employee it was confirmed that although there had been a significant fire, it was at an “unmanned storehouse” distant from the main offices and there is “no effect” on their game production.
The cause and extent of the damage are still under investigation, though nobody was harmed in the blaze.
A relief for fans of the interminable Da Capo franchise…

Beware! The Empire strikes back!!
Did you hear about the fire at Circus? It was 'intense.'
bum bum tsh
So Agnes Chan is a pyromaniac now?
That's news.
Now thats hot :D /joke
Thank goodness no one was hurt for the sake of the games right?
noooooooooooo!
I blame the Ring Master. He shouldn't hire a nooby Firespitter for the.. Oh my bad, wrong circus.
Thank God it's only the store.
This news is like last week or something in 2ch.
Sunday, if I'm not mistaken. And 2ch and company never bothered to check what got burned down or confirm it with Circus.
I like how people thumb you down for this when its the truth.
I like how people really care about rating for this when its like.... no life
The games stored in there must have been extremely hot...
Well played!
14 year olds off my internet please.
14 years old on my internet please.

B:No I have not!
A:I hear it was in tents!
(works best when spoken out loud)
Boo.

Equality Now have gone too far this time.
The femnazis tried to burn our eroge...
I say we burn the witches! Cleanse them with holy flames!

Hi KOREAN!
I'm a pig son of a bitch disgusting American.
Thank you for your comments, we will try to do better.
Instead of pizza or a cheeseburger, do you want a NICE GRILLED DOG SANDWICH?
way to feed the troll noobs
Me! I want a NICE GRILLED DOG SANDWICH! Also, can I also order for a LARGE HAM?
Although Americans make and eat a lot of pizza, it originated from Italy, btw...
looks like somebody's lost. GTFO
Japanese don't like Koreans.
O-RLY?
Do they like ANY non-Japanese?
Taekwand-O-RLY?
That aside, can I have the pizza :3
They would really like "to see the circus on fire".
obs: I'm talking about Equality Now.
You sir, made my day with this comment.
If that made your day, you have no life.
Sankaku Complex itself is overrated.. oh.. nevermind i said that
This entire conversation is overrated. literally
your mom is overrated
c-c-combo breaker !
combo breakers are overrated.
Your mom's mom is overrated.
life is overrated anyway
You guys are majorly overrate yourselves
the phrase "overated is overated" is overated.
overated is overated these days anyway.
saying that the phrase "overated is overated" is overated is overated. Take that.
We don't know that yet! I might have been accidental for all we know...for now.
ONORE EQUALITY NOW
I KNEW IT!!!
Whew, glad no one was hurt and that no games were effected :)
Reading the title, I thought it was a fire at an amusement park or similar...
I just hope this accident does not happen again...
'no machines were harmed in the making of this game... however, there ws a small fire in the secret figures storage place. My poor Mio figure melted ;;'
phew, no eroge artist is dead :)
"...but when Sankaku Complex raised the issue with a Circus employee..."
Erm, rly?
Like Danny Choo, Arte is based in Japan. Where else do you think he gets all these "wonderful" news on 2ch from to share with us?
I'm surprised everyone thinks you need to be in Japan to read 2ch or email Japanese people.
And is it really so astonishing that a site this size, with a wide variety of advertisers, would have contacts with a company like Circus?
I wasn't intending to single you out but to address all such responses, my apologies.
Hey, I was only trying to cover for you by complimenting your site. Guess I overdid my arse-kissing, no? :p
Thought Arte is an omniscient being from different dimension, but..
He lives in Japan, he can just call from their office or talk to them directly easily...
It's good that it wasn't a major fire and that no one was hurt. Still though, hopefully it'll raise awareness about this possibility among these small software companies, since they probably haven't spent all that much time thinking about "what could go wrong". So hopefully it's a lesson learned.
(That aside, Shuffle isn't by Circus, even though it was released in English by MangaGamer, so no real relation there.)
Confusion on my part for reasons I won't bore you with - please excuse me.
We should alert Navel for the next attack!
And Leaf too.
We should also warn Key and Nitro+ and Type-moon and all the visual novel makers.
So where were Agnes Chan, Unicef or Equality Now at the time of the fire?
At the scene of the crime causing it?
lol
they were busy "saving" 2d loli at another place. the 2d loli can be their witness
i originally thought this was about a fire at a circus
The fire should have been at minori's. And nothing of value would be lost.
But if minori is on fire, where are we going to get our Chihiro fix?
The Loliban are training suicide bombers.
Idai na Agnes-sama~! *bomb explodes*
Otome-san must do something to stop this accident.
make a wish into the damn sakura tree , right?
It's the chinese. The ones with flamethrowers.
You mean the ones who took out a hornet hive with the use of chinese soldiers equipped with those flamethrowers?
There's probably a hornet hive in the store.
"but when Sankaku Complex raised the issue with an employee" aka copied from another blog (as usual)
Yeah, because it would be impossible for Artefact to find some form of contact with them and ask.
Circus... Circus... Oh, for a second there, I thought you actually meant the circus. That and believed someone had made a unusual fetish popular.
