The latest Japanese object of Korean fascination and outrage is excrement themed anime “Unko-san.”
Koreans allege that a character named “Kim Ben” (“Ben” is a pun on the Japanese character for excrement), who loves kimchee, has narrow eyes and is “easily angered,” is in fact an attempt to liken Koreans to nightsoil. He is visible in the top right of the above illustration.
The characters of the show all seem to be based on none too kind classic cartoon stereotypes; whether it constitutes a racist caricature or an attempt to soil Korea’s good name seems a difficult matter to determine, though there is no denying that “Kim Ben” fits the profile of a national caricature, and that good taste is alien to the makers of this anime.
You can see the characters below:
Kim Ben “loves kimchee,” “is very easy to anger,” and is “extreme” according to his various official descriptions.
The anime itself:
How long this anime will now last is anyone’s guess; considering what happened to blameless anime Hetalia when it fell foul of Korean nationalism, it may not have long.

Lolz @ Korea rage
I have no idea what just happened, but I fucking love it. Needs subtitles...Maybe.
I hope the american one suplexes people, when he's not busy eating fatty foods or nuking japanese cities.
Soooo much... POO~
Koreans give a shit about an anime that's all about shit!
I can't think about a shittier anime. This tops Lost Universe.
"Korea’s good name"
I lol'd
Korean people do eat shit though...

Can't read Korean? Try this crude attempt by google.

똥이어디로갔을까, if I'm not wrong:
똥= Ttong= shit
이/가= subject-suffix, Ttong is the subject here
어디로= eodiro= where/where to
갔을까=kasseulkka= an indirect question (shown by the suffix 까) of the verb kada(가다= to go)
translated it would be something like: "Where does the shit go(to)?" or "where the shit should go",
it has nothing to do with eating shit I believe (and hope that such books wouldn't be published as books for children...)
Lol'd. But you realize its a book about potty training.
=) NT
That show gave me the SHITZ!
None of my Korea friends are aware of this. Where's the source of angry Koreans' reactions?
There is certain rage in SC already it seems...
Holy shit
that shit isn't holy
Now they make an anime about turds. Yeah, dont forget the love story.
Would be great if they made a fucking live action out of it.
Will they use dog shit or human shit for the live action?
Korea >>>>>>> Japan
lol'd
my name is Ben.... should I be angry? or sad?
And meanwhile Artefact is sitting back smiling at all the postings to "crap" and thinking this is another EPIC WIN...
NIPPON BANZAI!
China = Japan = Korea = Taiwan
Asia nation :D
Yeah...you're really not helping the situation by assuming East Asian cultures are all naturally so similar.
Russia = Mongolia = Korea = Georgia = India = Japan = Uzbekistan
Asia nation ;D
That would be EuroAsia nation imo
Oh god enough, Korea.
Hallyhoo00!!!
But sure it's not comparable to Mr. Hankey from SP.
It's indeed the shittiest anime ever...
... has squinty eyes, extreme views, and is quick to anger.
That's pretty much spot on for the average korean. I am korean, I have grown up around koreans, lived in korea for a few years. It's a nation filled with assholes.
Bwahahaha @ the black one..
An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I think which you need to write far more on this subject, it may well not be a taboo topic but usually men and women aren't sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers cheap jordans http://www.buyscheapjordans.com
Japan is making anime about shit talk about running out of idea
South Korea its the South.
What the fuck did I just watch?
*Facepalm*
Not again!
fuck this
this is a masterpiece and y so serious korea?
All Koreans living in Korea seriously needs to loosen up. I swear, being born as a Korean, I see so much nationalism that it's almost Facist. Until the day that Korea rules the world there will be most QQing by Koreans.
The stereotype is true learn to deal with it, Korean people get pissed over nothing.
As for the Japanese invading Korea, yea they invaded most of the eastern asian nations so lets QQ moar.
Get your history straight, we thwarted so many invasions from the Japanese & Chinese & others its not even funny (turtle boats ftw).
And don't even say Korean's arn't racist. I live in America and all I hear from my parents are racist comments.
Stop raging over it you Koreans living in Korea, makes you look bad in the end.
(Ironic) I'm raging too about the raging Koreans raging over "is very easy to anger" lulz
At the time japan governed korea to help thier slave, and allocate care to korean people. According to the results, japan made their increase in average life expectancy, besides established bunch of schools to improve their literacy rate. What an outrageous story that you mention it.
troll.
Korean industrial improvement was coming before the Japanese occupation. Perhaps 10-15 years later but it would of occurred naturally and without forced labor under Japanese rule. Yes its undeniably that there were a FEW aspects that improved under Japanese rule but was it worth the loss of Korea as an independent nation? No.
you claim way too much as a counter argument when most of it is fully or partially false.
What an unspeakable ingrates you are.
You forgot the fact that korea would never have gotten as rich as it is without supporting of japanese government.
Fuck off and die. "Ingrate," bullshit. Maybe you should actually read and comprehend before posting.
+1
chie is a terrible troll...
I understand why you rage about Koreans raging about what you think is 'nothing'. But people in Korea have very close connections to their parents and grandparents (for the most part). When you hear about stories about Japanese occupation as a little child, a preset mentality is set, that Japan is still out to get us. Koreans are a very prideful people, but in a national sense of community, but as well as personal. Each Korean thus takes huge insult when either national or personal pride is hurt.
Koreans are also inherently racist but the same can be basically said about any group of people.
We QQ a lot because of the things done under occupation, not because of the original Japanese invasion. Though, China has more reason to QQ in terms of brutal treatment.
Im sure that those who QQ are either heavily connected to the past, because in Korea's youth population, there is very little animosity toward Japanese.
WTF!?!? Why hasn't anyone pointed out that this is literally a shitty anime??
Who in their right mind wants to watch this crap?
they probably figure if they make an anime about shit then obviously it is not going to be shitty
south park already did it.
Mr. Hanky: Howdy Ho!
Wow.. Koreans.. It's not like you guys never produce any K-dramas featuring Japanese ppl as an inferior community and not to mention a crappy 3D clip of your Mazinger rip-off beating Japanese armies..
If it's not because of Pangya and Banya, i'd already hate you 100%.. (JK)
*Pangya, Banya, Park Sung Woo and Hyung Tae Kim.
haha, as a Korean, things like this irritate me because its insulting to my national culture but also because i know some nationalists (who may have good reason to be raged) will start something. Whatever. All people dont like to get insulted (except masos).
Even with all these tension filled bumps between Japan and Korea, progress is being made in creating a positive relationship. Though 2chan does not seem to be helping at all...rather going in the opposite direction.
You can't realize that your own country has been hated due to bunch of crimes in japan, over the world.
All groups of people have sectors of business that are unethical. Particularly for the Koreans (though most are Northern refugees) is the blackmarket.
fraudulent practices, rape, murder, the others are innumerable examples you know. I'd Let you face it.
what crimes? proof or gtfo
STFU, typical weeaboo
maidnaic isnt hating ...
so dont call weeabou for random reason k thx
>>STFU, typical weeaboo
>>typical weeaboo
>>weeaboo
Lol hahaha, bet you're not aware that those names and stuffs i mentioned in the end are from Korea.
i did, but some other anons are idiots.
hahaha! poor korean don't cry out.
troll.
