Yamakan Ridicules K-ON!, Pulls Head Off Ui

yamakan-vs-ui.jpg

K-ON! fans are aghast at Haruhi director and former Kyoto Animation staffer Yamakan’s efforts to ridicule the show on a live broadcast, even going so far as to pluck the head off a K-ON! figure.

K-ON!’s… What was she called now? I forget… the one who isn’t Yui. What was her name again? Ah, who cares….

[Upon being handed a Ui Nendoroid he proceeds to pull its head off]

Watching K-ON! fans are convinced this whole episode represents a deliberate effort to slight K-ON!, and must be evidence of considerable animosity, if not hatred, of the show by Yamakan – certainly it is hard to explain his actions any other way.

    In no way shape or form does it suck badly, you just speak as someone who hates it because others love it, ie - High School Popularity Syndrome.

    It's a wonderful series, and the fact that it brings joy is a wonderful thing. It's when joy can so rapidly shift into hate that you realize how dangerous stupid people can be.

    Where's the guy working right now? I hope the message was only against K-On and not moe in general, seeing that he directed Haruhi and Lucky Star.

    Honestly if he was making a statement against moe in general then I applaud him for it. way to many moe shows these days anyway.

    @LDC This guy was the one who invented the Hare Hare Yukai, and did the OP for Lucky Star. Recently he directed Kannagi, Shakugan no Shana and even helped to do Black Rock Shooter.

    He's also worked on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Fullmetal Panic? Fumoffu, and did the animation for Fate/stay night's OP.

    clearly, he has little to no animosity for the show, and in a PLAYFUL manner, does he play with Ui's head.

    Also, for the record, many people seem oblivious to the sarcasm is in this article which serves well as a introduction to the clip.

    clearly, he is just being playful and has no ill will to either Ui or K-ON. And he PLAYFULLY toys with Ui's head and everyone seems quite merry about it as well.

    Also, the article's sarcasm, which many seem oblivious to, serves as a very good introduction and really denotes the positive vibe of the clip.

    He just trolled the fans the KyoAni way. When I look at the reactions here, he was quite successful.

    No worries. He can no longer break K-ON! the way he "screwed" Haruhi.

    I bet he's sour at KyoAni. But he will end up boosting the show's popularity, so it was succesful in drawing attention, but lame on his objective.

    Hahaha. Yamakan's trolling is so epic as usual.

    Remember the E8 fiasco where he stirred up KyoAni with his statement.

    Anyway this guy's a natural troll. Ah but who cares I want more trolling between KyoAni and Yamakan. It's entertaining as hell.

    Awesome troll is awesome, especially when he has more of a problem with Kyo-ani and Kadokawa than with Kakifly...

    Yes it feels a bit annoying, but you shouldn't act like your whole family's been killed just because a figure head of Ui got plucked off on air. That's over-reacting.

    My friend broke my figma Signum (and for the record, Signum is my favourite character in the series) within five seconds of me letting him play with it. I didn't proceed to eviscerate him =/

    Let the man have some fun.
    No reason to get worked up about.

    I remember killing all my little toy soldiers by holding them against an old workout bycicle which had 1 wheel spinning in the air. If 1 person would peddle, the other could 'burn' the heads off.. They literally molted away.

    He did the BRS show, so at least publicly, he'd have to profess fondness for it.

    BRS probably plucked his head off after the cameras went off.

    He is a nendoroid in disguise.

    Kinda ironic how he's ribbing on 'the popular anime' in K-On while helping promote one of most hyped up anime in recent memory, Black Rock Shooter. Just saying. lol

    I think everyone is missing the point though...he seemed to be trying to re-create the BRS scene with dead master's floating skulls flying ard. Hence he was shifting the Ui nendo ard BRS. Imagines BRS fighting with moe nendo heads or Yukkuris...which is scarier?
