Girl Charged Over Fatal Blog Comment

We heard previously of the schoolgirl who killed herself based on a comment, “Die!”, left on her blog. Now it appears the girl (then 15) responsible for the comment, in fact her former classmate, is facing prosecution for insulting the girl and instigating a suicide.

  • The Japanese court system works differently than the American Court System, so I couldn't say for sure why this charge was brought up, but for the MySpace case, the case is being brought to trial... More

Beako Destroys Sankaku Complex

Beako - "Damn all you lolicon!" / ベア子:「このロリコンどもめ!!」

Hopefully, you missed the recent downtime, for which I apologise unreservedly, though at least I have the perverse pleasure of informing you that the cause was none other than Beako herself. Perhaps hard to believe, but in all seriousness she was the root of the problem, the details of which I shall spare you… It seems almost poetically appropriate.

Perhaps Sankaku Complex now harbours sufficiently large a nest of lolicon to attract her wrath? Still, having been punished with such harsh chastisement I am eager to use her charming image all the more.

  • Sure... Killing over manga sounds a little (if not A LOT) otaku, losing several thousand very much justifies revenge. How would you feel if YOUR parents formatted your H-filled harddrives and "cleaned" your backups? In... More

Pantsu MMORPG ai sp@ce

Pantsu MMORPG ai sp@ce

It seems virtual lifestyle MMO ai sp@ce, currently in closed beta, is set to include a notable eroge feature in the form of plenty of pantsu exposure, with costumes able to exhibit underwear prominently (though they may actually be not-pantsu according to some, and as it is a beta they are quite possibly not intended as such).

ベア子様の祝:「ロリコンどもめ」 / Beako congratulates us: “Damn lolicon”

It seems like only a month ago (in fact it was exactly 31 days ago) that we had the great satisfaction of learning that Sankaku Complex had reached a million page views, so you will have to forgive me if I do not have as much to report now as I did then.

Otaku Bully Seiyuu into Abandoning Blog

Seiyuu 葉月絵理乃 / Erino Hazuki (leading role in Aria, also known for Blue Dragon, amongst others)

Seiyuu otaku seem to have subjected the object of their fascination, seiyuu 葉月絵理乃 / Erino Hazuki (leading role in Aria, also known for Blue Dragon, amongst others), to such a campaign of harassment that she has seen no option but to suspend her blog, and stop accepting mail from fans.

  • At the same time, even though Erino probably is letting the e-mails get to her stronger than they should, it's still fun to get into some "righteous anger" because of it. I agree with lolikitsune.... More

1,000,000 Hits

Beako offers her congratulations?

Sankaku Complex has attained the next somewhat arbitrary milestone of a million hits; it seems not so long ago that we were celebrating our one hundred thousandth page view (in fact it wasn’t), and traffic continues to grow steadily in line with expectations.

The site itself is becoming larger, more sophisticated, and more usable, something which recently got a dramatic increase with the addition of the Danbooru based Sankaku Channel, sure to correct many of the deficiencies with the visual side of things, and to strengthen the community aspect of the site.

Naturally, I should at this juncture proffer my thanks to you, the users, and to the innumerable sites kind enough to link here; this I shall do in more detail below. With it being something of a major milestone, allow me to go into more detail in a number of areas, and provide some site statistics which may be of interest.

Japan to Legalise MADs

Enjoy MADs without rebuke from Sunrise soon...

NicoNico Douga’s fortunes may be turning once again, for we hear that the Japanese government, specifically the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, is set to put into action a plan which would enshrine in law special “cyber-districts”, where authors using commercially held copyrighted works in their creations would be legally allowed to ignore the usual requirements for permission and royalties.

Google Moves to Kill Nico

NicoNico Douga’s dreams of world conquest may be over before they have begun, as it seems Google has acquired a service, Omnisio, which offers a strikingly similar feature set, including the ability to blanket videos in comments. The service is currently in beta on YouTube.
