Fans of useless heroine anime Sakura-sou no Pet-na-Kanojo have been enraged by a series of suspect changes made to the original light novel, which most seem to ascribe to nationalist meddling by Korean interests.
The anime first caught the attention of viewers in November when it featured a curious change – the original light novel features a nursing scene in which a “simple rice gruel” (okayu) is served.
In the anime this became “samgyetang,” a Korean chicken soup dish traditionally widely believed to prevent illness due to its ginseng content, along with some praise of healing powers:
Samgyetang is not widely known in Japan, and the fact that cooking spots on at least 5 channels suddenly began featuring it during October and November soon had many speculating that the change was far from coincidental:
It was also observed that the second half of 2012 saw over 120 blog posts on Ameba extolling the merits of the soup – after a grand total of 3 in the 3 years previously.
With the considerable overlap between creepy late night anime fans and crazed Korea-hating online right-wingers, a scandal soon ensued, culminating in calls for a boycott, although whether the addition really was a crude attempt at stealth marketing by the media keiretsu involved was never conclusively established.
The next episode of the show to inspire a similar controversy was even more overtly political, and all the more incendiary to nationalists: a graduation ceremony, which in the novel featured references to the (normal for Japan) national anthem and flag, had both elements excised completely:
There has been a fair amount of relatively thoughtful speculation as to what is going on – although few are left who doubt that such changes are intentional:
“A repeat of the Samgye episode?”
“With them going this far you can’t help but think it deliberate.”
“Both the people doing this and the people noticing it are pretty crazy…”
“Is this because they want to sell DVDs overseas?”
“It’s being sold in Japan so why would a flag be a problem?”
“Even K-ON! had the flag so I don’t see why this would be a problem.”
“It is pretty jarring to have no flag at the ceremony like that!”
“The poor creator, having his work hijacked for propaganda purposes, and now the whole thing is hated because of what they did.”
“The production committee just got taken over by filthy Koreans, end of story.”
“If it is being produced in Korea they probably won’t let them include the Japanese national anthem. Though in any case the anime is still rubbish either way.”
“Maybe this is an attempt to market it with controversy?”
“Most works disappear into obscurity… perhaps manufacturing some controversy like this is a good marketing strategy for them?”
“I hope the studio responsible stops doing any more adaptations.”
“They must have thought nobody would notice – considering the Korea allergy afflicting anime otaku and the fuss they made over the soup, you’d have thought they’d have learned their lesson.”
“The poor author getting his work kimcheesed like this!”
“Why couldn’t they learn from what happened the first time.”
“The one I really feel sorry for in all this is the poor author…”
Enough of those japanese monkeys’ stupidity and vileness.
I still don’t understand how those japanese monkey outcasts (otaku) can feel proud of this cheap and perverted crap named chinese cartoons…eh…anime. And i still don’t understand why you, non-japanese pariahs, support this crap and dream with being a japanese caveman.
It seems GOD is punishing us because United States displayed compassion with those godless savages by refusing to reduce that cursed land and those monkeys to radiactive cinders.
Please monkeys keep that corrupting crap inside your borders and demand your government to stop the ‘cool japan’ supremacist brainwashing before it ruins the world. Stop spreading that cancer, damned monkeys! and wapanese outcasts, kill yourselves!
Monkeys don’t get so full of yourselves, mankind doesn’t need you, it would be better if you didn’t exist.
Ah, and trololos, I’m not korean nor asian.
KILL THOSE FUCKERS!!!!!1 Srsly I don’t get the excitement…
I hear this statement thrown around a lot regarding YouTube, 4ch, 2ch, shoryuken, bodybuilding.com and other sites with a commenting feature, but really:
The comments section in Sankaku Complex is the cesspool of humanity.
Wow the “useless heroine” anime is a bit much cause none of them are useless. It seems Sankaku is so delighted to deride animes with rather good concepts and developments but contradict there beliefs on certain fields. Most important one would be SAO.
Sankaku started with SAO shows promise, to SAO worst ending ever, to figurines of asuna, to SAO is good lets forget about the fact that its development is shit lets just praise. And before you know it its under the most memorable animes of 2013 then its under the best animes for 2013. MAYBE IT MIGHT EVEN MAKE MOST FUCKING SEXY ANIME OF 2013 when all of the greater animes might as well be fucking shunned…

Nice one, 7/10.
Am I the only sane one here? Who cares. All you are all being racist to each other end of story. Forget grudges, etc, etc. Let’s get alone. The whole incident thing is as harmful as being bitten by a mosquito. All of you should be ashamed of racially putting down one another.
Mocking the Japanese isn’t making you guys seem any less racist than anyone else. I’ll say the same to the random Japanese guy. Don’t feed the racist troll. He’s fishing for a response from you.
Anyways, this advocator of peace is signing off.
I just lolled at this whole post… Who gives a f***
ohhh.. *barf*
that’s pretty disgusting food there.. 0_0
In fact, Korean people and cultures aren’t hated but ignored in Japan. You cannot almost see Korean characters and cuisine in Japanese anime and manga. Korean’s existence is completely and carefully ignored and forbidden because it cause a lot of political arguments between left and right. The arguments are fatal for business and entertainment products.
Sakurasou in a rare exception in Anime and so cause dishonable arguments. Probably their DVDs are bad influenced.
Is that why Korean soap operas are all the rage among girls in Japan atm? Otaku culture =/= Japan. On of them is popular, the other shameful. Go figure.
What’s up with the knife conservation soup?
In Japan, usually, the national anthem will be sung, and the national flag will be hoisted, at the graduation ceremony.
This event has turned its back on the japanese patriots and the original fan.
Japanese patriots are not uncommon among those who love Japanimation.
The sales of japanese high price BD is to make up for production costs.
Probability, possibility that this anime is evaluated as a failure is high.
Probability, possibility of a sequel to this anime is made low.
There is also a possibility that the original author to the original final.
It may be considered strange to foreigners, but there is such a meaning to this event.
You sound like a 11 year old kid, nip. Go bitch at 2ch and keep your mouth where it belongs.
“Fans of useless heroine anime Sakura-sou no Pet-na-Kanojo”
I thought in writing an article you were supposed to drop your useless and unwanted opinion at the door before you start?
The show received a lot of critical attention for featuring an exceptionally “useless” heroine who couldn’t even don a pair of pantsu herself, hence the “useless heroine” description. It is not intended as a judgement of the anime itself.
I was watching the latest episode on a stream on Himawari Douga (a NicoNico lookalike with a looser policy regarding uploading recent streams than its original), and boy it was hard watching the episode without the entire screen being blanketed by comments by 2ch nationalist otakus going nuts every other second.
The Samgyetang incident was already bad enough, but this takes the cake.
I normally watch these Nico videos with comments on to enjoy the “mood” of the audience, but the mood was so ugly that for the first time, I had to turn off the comments in order to watch the episode in peace.
To see these nationalist nutcases getting all worked up for the simple omission of a flag and national anthem in a graduation ceremony was both amusing and disturbing at the same time.
Then again, word has it there was indeed a Flag of Japan and singing of the anthem in the original screenplay draft, yet someone decided to omit that. They were simply asking for trouble by alienating the “target audience” like that (late night anime otaku, of whom the majority lurk the 2ch boards and lean nationalistically).
I don’t think I’ll ever understabd why these asian countries seem to all hate each other.
More or less; Japan fucked around in Asia. This pretty much lead to all Asians hating each other. They were never super buddy-buddy before, but since then Asia’s pretty much became “Fuck you!” “Well Fuck you too! And you!” now.
The same reason you see some Americans saying Japan needs to be wiped off the face of the planet because some tiny percentage of their population eats whales or dolphins.
That’s not the same though. It has to do more with national tensions and a history of violence between the two nations. Idiotic hippies crying over dead whales doesn’t compare to the amount of hatred both nations often show for each other.
haha, sorry but pirates are idiots
This dish isn’t that delicious in my opinion from my experience to Korea, It really is no big deal you can find more delicious Asian soup in any other Asian Country. It just boiled Chicken with Ginseng.
yep, kfc tastes better than this shit !
流派東方不敗は！王者の風よ！
Fuck off jap boy.
go fuck a corpse like that other gook a while ago.
shad ap you korean idiot
You wish, you wish./
I see political taunting and mass shepherding.
You are all fighting over soup. Reread that sentence and let it sink in.
It must be a very good bowl of soup.
they fight so the loser eat that super-yucky-disgusting food forever and ever
sorry but it’s other way around
unfortunately korean food is disgusting. so the loser has to eat that shit
Damn Koreans! Can’t even eat soup in peace anymore! What’s next, are you going to put propaganadroids in my veggies?
nah their gonna claim that hotdogs were invented by koreans then get trolled by NK.
they gonna shove it into ur anus lol
My God..Is it really worth to be angry about? It’s not like main story get changed…It’s crazy they can notice it…. too much free time or what??
To get rid of a nation’s anthem and flag?
Of course Japan have the right to be angry about that.
Korea is still butt hurt and still trying to seek revenge on Japan even til this day, which is really pathetic and annoying; Get the hell over it Korea.
Stealth Koreans are wide spread throughout Japan and they are patriotic as hell and doing their stealth troll as Japanese, it’s impossible to prevent it unless you officially start racial discriminating which is not going to happen.
Just look at the Koreans in US trying to set up those comfort women statues ON US MEMORIAL GROUNDS to troll Japan even though America have nothing to do with the matter.
The scary thing is they believe if you lie long enough it’ll become the truth and that is what they are going for too.
I am 17:53 and I am American; so Korea you can do your pathetic political stunts at your own country and not on OUR Memorial grounds where we honor OUR soldiers who died for the United States of America.
It is a disgrace to our soldiers and this sh^t makes no sense to build your whore statues on our memorial grounds.
They were whores that worked for money, and the issue was never raised until the 90’s when some random women wanted money and made up bunch of lies to the Korean news paper.
Now it is used as a political tool to manipulate people. Sure it tricks stupid people in Korea but not who actually followed and do some research.
Again, take your sh^t back to your own country and don’t disgrace our memorial grounds.
I see you are just a jap for sure.
i’m not japanese but i love japan.
i hate korean from the depth of my soul cuz their arrogancy
Just a jap with a loud mouth. What else do you expect?
Hey I noticed it and I don’t need to have a lot of free time to not know that is a filty Korean dish!
Have you guys tried it? It tastes very good though.
it tastes like shit
I’m pretty sure it was changed because the food was suddenly becoming popular in media…It could’ve been swedish meatballs for all we know, if the were suddenly to become popular in media as healthy food for sick people…Not that they are.
People are getting all pissy about chicken? Wow, a lot of little bitches out there.
Aaand now my attention is elsewhere, as that was my 2 shits given to this article.
I think we should be taking this with a grain of salt. This isn’t much different than the mutual busting of chops passed down between Canada and America, and England with the Northern UK provinces (except maybe in the case of North Korea, lol).
Except we don’t try to sink each others ships. Other than that one incident where our navy tried to make a Canadian lighthouse move out of it’s way, but that’s just a funny motivational poster.
Japan be mad when korea is taking over their media. K-pop stars gradually becoming more famous in Japan
K-drama being adapted to anime
And now their food.
Mad?
Another Korean boasting detected…
Yeah, because Japanese boasting is fine.
Get over it.
The north Koreans even do it about their broken asd Chinese shit,and weapons from the 50’s.
Korean boasting == Most annoying shit in the world… no other country ever go to Korean degree of stupid boasting
I don’t know why it bothers people so much. If they want something done correctly do it yourself. Don’t just sit there on the other end of the screen barking with another dumb dog. Go take action.
Soo… Why does anyone actually give a fuck?
the made me think of evangelion
This is uber-stupid.
Adaptation=Corruption
If you want to tell a story don’t change it.
(y) agreed
Its just chicken. Get over it. 😐 My gawd.
These changes were probably included by Korean animators, but not to promote Korean culture. More likely they were slipped in to TROLOLO these sorts of obsessive-compulsive otaku.
After all, bad publicity is still publicity.
yep, korean seems pick a fight with japanese otakus
Maybe the animators just didn’t know or have time to learn how to draw food that isn’t as disgusting.
I always found it amusing how anime-manga obsessed part of japan hates koreans but still whores their animation out to those very korean companies that now holds significant sway over what gets to be portrayed in japanese media.
Koreans will fuck japan. They are already doing that through yakuza anyway. Japanese women should just open up their legs and accept their fate, just like they happily ditched their limp dick japanese ‘husbands’ and NTR’d the fuck out of their own nation by sleeping with Americans in droves.
koreans are too busy fucking each other in the ass to even think about fucking women of any nationality. never seen a bigger bunch of limp dicked faggy twats as koreans.
Amen Brother!! let those legs fly open again!! >.>
dont know why they changed it. did not get me more interested in korea at all.
Seeing as the animation work for a lot of anime is outsourced to other countries like Korea these days, I suspect that may have been what happened here.
The first instance was probably simple product placement. Some company hopes to benefit from the dish’s increased popularity (maybe they sell an instant package?) and paid the studio (and cooking shows) a hefty sum of money.
The second change I find harder to explain. It looks more anti-nationalistic than pro-Korean though. Maybe the studio thought that in the current political climate it would be better not to offend the Chinese and/or Koreans? Still, spineless idiots.
All this over a glorified fuckin chicken soup.
Slanty eyes, why are you so pathetic?
Don’t you know Korea owns chicken soup now? Yep, turns out your grandma’s chicken soup from Russia/Brazil/China/Congo/Texas… wherever you’re from, is actually plagiarized from Koreans! Thanks to them, sick ppl can have chicken soup. In fact, chicken belongs to Korea!
Wing-nut logic.
about 95% of the people wouldn’t even have noticed at all to tell you the truth. it’s a unimportant cut away scene people don’t usually pay much attention to.
shad ap ya korean !
You keep talking but all I hear is out of you is “DERP”. Retards like you shouldn’t be allowed to live, much less allowed on the internet.
lol little jap boy go back to trying to laugh while being asspained with impotent rage.
Maybe because the Japanese flag and the national anthem are offensive to some Japanese, Koreans and Chinese in Japan due to WWII.
Despite they are disgusting those, there are no strong alternative to those “sinful flag and sinful anthem”. Maybe those Japaneses think we banned the flags and national anthem from our schools too in name of cosmopolitanism.
Dish looks pretty disgusting with the skin, bones and uncut vegetables… Yuck..
The Ginseng won’t help this.
triti
Actually it tastes quite good (except for the ginseng, but you don’t have to eat it).
And Japan could, well, draw Japanese flags on Korean animations for revenge.
Oh wai…
dont be pissed about this shit if you outsource your animations to fucking korea!
Still… I can’t blame them this is pretty much a middle finger to Japan. Fucking Koreans…
have a fuck yourself
It should be pretty obvious between two groups that hate each other…
sorry, im an outsider but i hate korean, so it’s 2 to 1
Damn right. lol
most of the world outsources their animation to korea…just look at the credits for any decently done animation, more often than not you’ll see korean companies working on it. But I highly doubt korean had any hand in this… Haters are just haters no matter where they come from.
So…. a lot of anime show food from other places… burgers ( America), mapo tofu ( China), Taco (Mexico)… yet, one Korean dish triggers the rage… I am unable to compute unless they just simply hate anything Korean.
What about curry?
looks like u need to check ur eyes
And don’t you forget the missing flags. Usually there will be the national flag at such an event which were clearly omitted from such an important graduation ceremony.
So, yes, those damn filthy Koreans at it again.
All of these wouldn’t happened if those Koreans stick to the script instead of omitting and adding stuff that weren’t supposed to.
its just that Burgers are well known, and Mapo Tofu are one of Japan’s fave dishes, the taco is also quite well known due to the american military bases in japan.
that chicken soup(a copy of a chinese chicken soup btw) is not a well known dish at all is what caused the problem.
It’s not just because of the food itself, but the “unnecessary” sudden change of the food.
and from all the food the world has, it just has to be a korean food. One of the countries that currently is still in heat with Japan.
From the “traditional simple Okayu” to a korean cuisine, if that’s not a “slap to the face” I don’t know anymore.
B-but I love kimchee in my okonomyaki…
@Powerpuff Loli
The last thing a Japanese would be serving would be a Korean cuisine for that matter so it clearly isn’t overreacting on their part because this clearly looks like a slap to the face.
If someone slapped me, I will slap back.
@07:38
What a typically childish japanese reaction. No wonder your people are the laughing stock of the world. You tend to get in over your head about a lot of things. Better watch that mouth of yours if you know what it means to stay healthy.
Not that any japanese are capable of knowing what’s best for them so foreigners and koreans have to beat it into their pussies.
@13:22
Japanese are bitches anyway, they are very cowardly and afraid to face up to real challenges because they are too busy trying to guard their non-existent ‘pride’.
At least the koreans have the balls to do something.
There was something intended there. Maybe for the Japanese to overreact as if it was “a slap to the face” shows nothing but pettiness from their part.
Japan hates korea and korea seems to hate japan for some reason or another. The japanese are still preety xenophobic last I checked, they don’t really like other races, just their own.
You’re treading on thin ice here saying that about the Japanese. The Japanese Defense Brigade is all on your ass.
What a ridiculous bitch move by japs. You little shits are so childishly petty and idiotic.

It’s always funny to see little island monkeys pretending to be better than other people when everyone else looks at them the same way they would look at a spoiled 12 year old girl who stepped into a wrong neighborhood with ‘Fuck Me’ sign taped to her ass.
You cowardly little cunts are always taking it up the ass from your ‘elders’ and ‘superiors’. Go suck your father’s cock jap boy 🙂
>23:25 Oh look this jap’s pretty cheeky. Bitching about ‘racism’ and typing LOL haha. You got a problem?
>Keep your mouth shut if you don’t know what the fuck you can talk about.
I don’t have to allow you that I speak freely at all.
You gaijin must stop watching Anime created by ‘jap’.
You are superior race rather than ‘jap’ as you know, Do you lost a last pride as master race?
Racist white fat boy as you are suitable to watching homosexiual porn such as Hitler’s nude.(laughing)
22:53 20/03/2013 # ! Neutral (0)
22:42 Oi, jap. Learn some proper english instead of spewing broken garbage like you know something.
Oh, this is an idealistic example of racism(LOL). Cannot also you, gaijin speak proper Japanese? Yes, I can’t speak proper Engilsh, but I don’t have to shame it.
I am Japanese guy, and I accept and do not deny your stereo-type prejudice for Japanese people.
But why you are fond of such a xenophobic people’s product?
Anime and Manga are created by xenophobic Japanese people.
Nazi Germany’s propaganda movies are dangerous for anti-racism.
So, you must stop watching Japanese dangerous cultural products as soon as.
@12:34: I’m pretty sure that was a joke, but “black guys fucking a Japanese girl” is a pretty big subgenre of porn in Japan. Well, it’s usually “black guys raping a Japanese girl”, but you get the idea.
The Japanese have always been nice to me, to my face anyway, i could care less what they say behind my back, but thise Koreans…they’ll let you know to your face that they think they are decended from the gods and you’re not good enough to drink thier toilet water, which is what that soup looks like.
The japs are so xenophobic that their definition of “interracial porn” is “a guy from Tokyo fucking a girl from Osaka”.
I’m korean and I prefer the creepy otaku japanese culture over the fake and plastic korean one.
What Asian country isn’t at this point?
Koreans are also quite xenophobic.

HAHA little yellow piggy doesn’t even know how to quote things right. Keep coming back trying to get that last word in like a bitch! You people don’t even take showers every day and your streets smell like yellow monkeys that don’t even wash their hands after going to the toilet.
Why are all your women opening up their legs to foreigners so easily? Everyone around the world knows your women are just cumdumps of east asia.
There’s a nip here with broken language skills that can’t string two words together like a bitch he is…
Japan’s alway’s been everyone’s bitch. No wonder they got slapped down by the world last time around. Now the world is going for the main dish! (japanese women)

02:14 HAHA lol you wish I was fat eh? Try 6 5 and 230 lbs with very little of it fat. My japanese girlfriend can tell you a bit more about it, when her mouth isn’t down trying to take in all of my cock.
Since when did I ever say I watched your sad excuse of ‘culture’? Bitches like you are the reason I come to this site since it’s so amusing to see your reaction to genuine reality.
Very typical japanese reaction. Go back to 2ch and bitch more like a whore in heat.

I’ve seen more than a few black guy-japanese girl thing here in the states. Most of those girls looked deliriously happy opening their legs for a giant black cock to ravage their tight little pussies.
One of them even flat out told me japanese guys are effeminate and impotent.
23:25 Oh look this jap’s pretty cheeky. Bitching about ‘racism’ and typing LOL haha. You got a problem?
Keep your mouth shut if you don’t know what the fuck you can talk about.
Get the message?
22:42 Oi, jap. Learn some proper english instead of spewing broken garbage like you know something.
Americans are also very xenophobic.
Japanese and Koreans do not mix. They’re the mexicans to Japan basically.
So the Koreans try to climb over Japan’s fences and snuggle drugs in through balloons in thier butt? I definatly wouldnt compare them to Mexico, from what i was told by a friend who lives there, a “gringo” would get shot within a few minutes now, with the cartels running everything.
If you don’t want Korean influence in your anime, then stop hiring cheap Korean labor for your animation.
Genelally, labor is duty for respect original product and obey Japanese employer.
But this incident is Japanese production is blamed by Japansee people in joking.
Korean is not blamed and not concerned. Baka gaijin, you know?
ポイントがあります。私たちのアニメーションを行うに不潔な韓国人は許可されてなぜ私は知らない。
And yet you still buy it. The only way language business understands is money. By giving them said money, you are implicitly condoning their actions.
The funny thing about being a responsible person is that sometimes, you have to take actions that you don’t want to take.
English, boy. Speak it or shut the fuck up.
Lol you got downvoted. If that was in Korean or Chinese, you’d be upvoted in mass. You a long way to go in the way of Sankaku commenting.
If you don’t want me to spit in your burger, then stop paying me to serve your fast food.
a creepy homo would say “i’m gonna buy your lips” 😛
That’s a really valid point. You are fired.
True, it’s not like the otaku who are bitching would want to animate the shows and put their own pro-Japan BS into it.
Why do we listen to that pond-scum of a group otaku? I should say that I’m surprised that they have time to bitch about the stupidest shit on the side of satisfying their pedo-needs.
I have to say I agree with the OP, if you don’t want their influence stop hiring em to make your anime.
Stop watching Japanese Anime.
@03:20
You can’t be in that much denial. Well you can if you worship the Japanese.
Japanese animation and manga styles derived from the West. They had their own artistic style, but they soon copied the Western style of drawing. After a while they started to develop their own style.
Japan “was” infamous with plagerism and copy pasta pre 80’s.
That sounds more like the Chinese,than the Japanese. The Chinese are infamous for ripping things off.
Japanese comics are just an offshoot of American and western influence of graphic animations.
There is no ‘japanese’ anything, just a lot of it ripped off and slightly altered. These are some cheeky little thieves and copycats.
sorry but i love jp anime 😛
Ehh. Nationalists are the worst kinds anyway. Honestly, even if I look real hard and close I can’t tell them apart from the religious zealots, crazed eco-activists, feminist maniacs and racist lowlifes.
They’re all the same.
I have been wondering why must neighboring countries always hate each others?
Japanese hate Koreans,Indonesians hate Malaysians, Americans hate Mexicans, Iraqi hate Turkish and vice verse.
Maybe this world is still in puberty age, raging with boners to fuck each other.
Not always. Norwegians and Swedes are good pals. 😀
cuz we cannot fuck each other after the world ends
Patriots love their country, Nationalists simply hate all of the others
dude, you just named pretty much everyone
They aren’t the same dumbass. Go live in Japan and witness the propaganda yourself.
Wait.. who isn’t the same dumbass? Who are you comparing to whom?
13:41 lol bitching and moaning about ‘a american’ when he doesn’t stand a chance in a straight up confrontation of any sort against him.
The right wingers with banners and loudspeakers plowing the streets atop Nazi-esque minibuses, I assume.
Yeah, I’d rank them lower than eco-activists and feminists too. Most ppl unfortunate enough to come across them will.
Lol a american trying to get involved in something they don’t understand is so typical.
lol.
Japanese calling koreans filthy is like pig calling monkey an animal.
Doesn’t change the fact koreans are still pigs.
Go bitch at 2ch little cunt.
Go fuck yourself, jap.
Ok, seriously? WHO THE FUCK CARES!?
Those otaku’s who obviously are looking for an “authentic” adaption but seeing intentional changes to the original work?
If you are not capable that small changes towards culture of foreign original is a bad thing then you probably don’t even know what’s going on in your own country. And that is a pity.
Oh c’mon! Yes, changing certain cultural customs and aspects of society in favour of foreign ones CAN be bad (btw, I pay attention to what’s going on in my own country, thank you very much) when done in real life, if they threaten the national identity of a nation, but we’re talking about a food dish in a light novel and anime here. Small changes like this in an adaptation of a work are normal and to be expected, and they DO NOT MATTER! -_- Talk about getting hung up on every little insignificant detail.
Wait.. looking for an authentic adaptation of a middling (at best) light novel? Pretty lame..
When all else fails, resort to racism.
Not unless it’s the norm. Then it’s just another day of Mr. Racism Antics. Tune in for the next episode. What will they do next?
brain dead ?
i guess they are inspired by european media.
“Both the people doing this and the people noticing it are pretty crazy…”
Nothing more to add, really.
Those who make anime pictures do take care on slight expression, so I do think there was an political intention by Korean on those meal and graduation scene.
Also Koreans tend to delete Japanese-style scene when they on-air anime anyway…
Don’t ask why…
Rice gruel for the sick is limited to Asia, including Korea. Chicken soup for the sick is omnipresent, from Russia to Texas. So it’s suddenly patented by Korea now that right wingers sees it?
Japanese flag and anthem were common… 40 years ago. Now, they’re more likely to be absent than present.
Both points simply increases international appeal. The same old geezers trying to kill anime now sprout this.

For a lot of european countries it would be porridge (oatmeal and other variants on it).
Samgaetang is pretty disgusting anyway, unless the chicken is cut up beforehand and gristle removed.
Personally I find it delicious (albeit expensive here in Japan). And the gristle is quite easy to remove, since the chicken was boiled. Quite easier to eat than, say, KFC.
fuck you ! kfc is better than sam-gye-suck (samsung)
what is this KFC you speak of?
Really? I think its delicious. Not to mention its good for your “Well being”.
it’s just personal tastes.
Not many people outside of korea likes it cuz the ginseng flavor is really strong. (ginseng tastes weird)
Half my coffee has ginseng powder added into it. I’m doing fine.
Ah yes, ginseng might be too strong/weird for some Westerners. I know what you mean.
Eating live frog is even better then? Or maybe served human penis.
shad ap you korean !
at least, it not looks more disgusting than that
I wonder how many of these ‘furious’ japanese otaku actually even have the balls to go up to a korean and talk shit?
Cowardly little shits with mouthy, petulant attitudes.
Everyone knows the Japanese are the best passive aggressive people at being prejudice. It’s all about face. But once they get home (that is if they ever take one step out their own room), it’s all “hate!hate!hate!” online.
As fearless as a black person going into a Korean supermarket.
So long as the owner doesn’t have a gun or the guy’s packing one himself.
Duh. Imported foodstuff and exploitation of stupid.
it’s the same over priced bullshit u get from the Chinese super market.
Frankly, they got good groceries in the Korean supermarket.
anything with ginseng is dirty tbh
ginseng is good for u bro…
ginseng = cobra oil..
u know what i mean 🙂
What’s with all the anti-Korean comments being upvoted? Probably a bunch of monkeys from 2ch. Typical japs.
They are little cowardly shits. They always make bitch moves like this.
They’re idiots… this is the best anime of the season.
if not ruined by idiot koreans
Most people wouldn’t even have noticed anything as subtle as chicken soup and a missing flag. The haters seem to dissect everything so that they can fling their crap at the object of their hatred.
Why would they not notice missing flag and singing of national anthem changed to something else if everybody’s experienced a normal Japanese graduation?
wow amazing, japanese ppl are good at making a scandal out of nothing…pointless whine.
Imagine an event usually involving the American Flag and the American National Anthem, got replaced by that crappy gunam style song and dance, would you not complain?
Provided you are American and not retarded enough to like that gunam style crap that is.
thats true, but how would you feel if say you saw a sitcom where it features airplanes plowing into structures that looked awfully lot like the pentagon and the world trade centers and nobody even mentions it in the show?
You’re comparing food and leaving out the national anthem to the 9/11 terrorist attacks? Like comparing apples to whales there. They are no where even close.
Not even a valid comparison. This is why you are a fucktarded jap.
lol umad bro?
I’d get the popcorn and tune in on Fox.
They are otaku. They have an excess of free time.
They must be getting good at stalking little girls if they have that much time.
How often have you heard of otaku caught for stalking little girls?
Korea hates Japan
China hates Japan
Japan hates them both
And poor Taiwan can’t decide who they hate more.
Who cares. Grow up, people. More important things to worry about.
Yeah, like how the Koreans and Chinese have already taken over most of the Japanese’s mass-media, and are constantly pouring out anti-Japan propaganda within Japan itself?
“useless heroine anime” Sankaku you just hate everything don’t you?
Mashiro is pretty useless in anything but art.
Which is more than can be said for most people. I’m sure you’d rather be an artistic genius and be bad at laundry than the opposite.
please upvote my comment
Unchi!
I can understand some Chinese and Koreans who hate Japanese for killing millions of innocent civilians in the last world war. Well, anyone surviving or witnessing something like Nanking Massacre would probably think that two american atomic bombs just weren’t enough. My granpa hated Japanese because he witnessed the piles of mutilated bodies/raped girls aged less then 12 with their insides out/little kids with stomped heads/etc by his own eyes back in his military days on the Eastern Front of WWII.
What I don’t understand is why some Japanese hate Koreans/Chinese, it’s not like they invaded Japan killing millions and commiting horrible war crimes.
Korean occupied Takeshima(Korean name Dokdo) and some Korean claims also invade Japanese island Tsushima. China also try to aggression to Senkaku island that Japanese govern current. The reason why Japanese hate neighbor is same as Chinese and Korean.
Hey South Korea what was it that you did to Vietnam,and don’t like to talk about?
Because japs are japs. They deserve all the rapes and crimes koreans, chinese, russians, and Americans commit in their nation because they simply refuse to apologize on a fundamental level for who they are.
Essentially, japs won’t ever be accepted or allowed to be seen as equals as long as they are japs.
All their ‘apologies’ so far have been basically along the lines of ‘we said sorry, we gave you some money, now fuck off’. Who the hell won’t see that as a provocation?
Japan deserves to be turned in to world’s cumdump for the next 200 years for their ignorant behavior towards the world.
Dude, he gave you money, he said sorry, now fuck off and stop making things that explode.
Shut up Korean unless you want to talk about Vietnam.
apologize? what the fuck apologize, there was no such a thing but fixed history. japs don’t even accpet the existence of nanjing massccr or comfort women
ummmmmmm who the fuck cares you fat lonery fucks?
How many butthurt japs and jap-sympathizers do we have on this site? Downvotes for these truths are one indication.
you are on a site about japanese culture , so how many do you think genius?
same amount as the gook sympathizers and the simple minded white sympathizers.
Gook is the racial slur for “koreans” also zipperhead or zip , nip or jap is the racial slur for “japanese” at least get your slurs right.
I always find it cute when people get overworked about something so petty.
I know. The entire east asia region is like a 12 year old girl having a bitch fit over who gets to wear the best dress so it can whore itself out to any passing pedophiles from around the world.
America is just as bad really, except we are way less interesting since its always old white guys spewing boring bullshit, so no one really cares except, other old white guys.
Add deluded black cunts, mexicans who fucking hate niggers more than whites, asians impotently bitching, and whites laughing and fucking it up in the end, and you have the right picture.
At least Americans have their sense of pride in a nation.
Cue the equally-retarded anti-West sentiments from other teens who think that this kind of mud slinging is a conversational art form.
And nothing of value was lost.
Japanese nazi is crazy lowlifes anyway, so no one cares.
Silly Asians. Don’t u know rest of world does not care for your petty disputes?
In white mans eye you are all devil shits!
Hey Asia, please grow up…
They’re just jealous because Gangnam Style is more popular than anything Japan has ever produced.
it’s not really an accomplishment to get everyone to laugh at you rather than with you.
i dont mind getting laughed at when i get paid by millions of holla dollas.
Wait, wait, wait…
You think that PSY was getting laughed AT? Like in an insulting tone?
Everything you pretty much say is irrelevant and meaningless.
who the fuck is psy and what the fuck is gundam style?
Gangnam style is actually a bit of a comedy. Psy is a genuine funny-man. He knows people are laughing at him, that’s why he kept doing it. He is a musical comedian.
As opposed to Japanese musicians, who only cause indifference (and an occasional eyebrow-raise) to anyone who isn’t a nip or a weeaboo.
gangnam what? Psy who?
@12:42
You’re getting your weeaboo-goo everywhere.
Go kill yourself.
Yeah, because you literally get over a billion views for being retarded. That’s how Rebecca Black’s Friday got over a billion right?
Hey, edgy cool guy, stop being a faggot.
LOL.
Another dumbass gook got fooled. You actually thought people weren’t laughing at him.
Still better than AKB48 or any other shitty J-pop group
That’s like saying dog shit is better than cat shit.
To be fair, the ‘views’ for that video on websites such as youtube has been proven to be engineered to artificially inflate their view counts by some script kiddies in korea.
Youtube deletes artificially-inflated views, so that theory doesn’t hold water
WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!
No studio is owned by Japanese it’s all USA owned. They DO GIVE to Korea some of it for favors!
JAPAN IS FINISHED! IT WILL SINK AND BE KILLED OFF BY KOREA IN THE WAR! IF NOT THEN THE EARTHQUAKES OF THAT WAR WILL KILL THEM!
YOU ARE ALL FUCKING STUPID! I TOLD YOU! I WILL KILL JAPAN BY ALL MEANS! LOOK AT IT NOW! THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY SIGNS!
THE KNIGHTS OF THE APOCALYPSE NEVER FAIL! THEY ROB AND DESTROY THE COUNTRY FOR GOD! NO KNOWS HIM WELL ENOUGH!
too bad, stupidity doesn’t kill instantly people :/
US doesn’t give a shit about gooks. They also have a great time knocking down those uppity slanty eyes whenever they get too mouthy.
Japan has been prostituting itself to outsiders for its entire history, whether it is in culture, technology, philosophy, or anything else. It just likes to pretend authenticity by changing it a little, distorting the original, and trying very hard to convince itself it’s the original.
It is very fitting that japanese women are seen as easy cumdumps by the entire world, just like anything else that comes out of their sinking island.
I’m pretty sure everything you just described matches the Koreans.
gooks = koreans dumbass.
Without the gooks, who would have shown them how to design and build a decent automobile that people want to buy for non-braindead reasons?
learn english if you want to be taken seriously here.
korean cars are garbage bro.
Germans? Danes? Americans?
The only reason japanese were capable of building those things were due to global climate of political upheaval that took the attention away from economics and RD. Now they are all on the defensive and retreating, being overshadowed by re-energized US auto industry not to mention east asian companies that are just out for blood against japanese companies.
You mean those automobiles that were chiefly pioneered by foreigners and foreign-educated people who brought the know-how and techniques from outside japan to japan itself because it was more profitable to build and manufacture products there for the global market?
The japanese automobile boom was a success not by the virtue of being better at building products, but rather rest of the world was too busy about cold-war security issues and geopolitical maneuvering, political upheavals, and other non-economic issues, not to mention they started off with foreign brought, foreign-educated technologies and know hows, in addition to massive American investment that sought to create a well-off industrialized state as a bulwark against communist influence. Once United States and other countries could afford to take a few fingers off the trigger and focus on economics, japan’s own paper tiger economy tanked in the 90s and is now being eclipsed by other asian and foreign nations.
Japan prospered when rest of the world was too busy or asleep. They have only deluded themselves into thinking they somehow built all their borrowed prosperity by themselves. Now that such soft, comfortable support has been taken away, japan will sink into 3rd level nation that it always has been, and being an island nation won’t save them from foreign domination in this day and age.
China and Korea will fuck japan to pieces. Even in tokyo, korean and chinese gangs are pushing out the yakuza in a turf war. Only thing holding back absolute foreign and chinese control is the security treaty with US, and seeing as US is getting tired of self-comforting delusions of japs, it won’t be long before America decides to let japs have a taste of their own medicine.
All that, after America was gracious enough to give the japanese a second chance instead of raping the shit out of it and leaving the rest to the chinese, as it should have happened after ww2.
YOU STILL PROVED OF WHO A WHORE SHIT NATIONS JAPAN IS! THANK YOU AND PLEASE DIE WITH THEM IF YOU SUPPORT THEM! THEY WILL SINK SOON!
gook means south east asian, you fucking stupid son of a whore japenis
shut up gook.
lol thanks for the entertainment bro.
DEATH TO MAN KIND. BWHAHAHA.
