Unfortunately for anime fans, Japanese TV studios and even the earth itself hate anime and are conspiring to ruin the viewing experience of anyone too tight to buy the discs, having devised several methods of doing so even when the wickedness of human nudity is not involved…
Most of these are earthquake and tsunami warnings, in many cases for seismic events affecting areas hundreds or thousands of kilometres away, as well as helpful news headlines for those for whom changing the channel to watch the news is just too much effort.
Full Metal Alchemist fans were actually so annoyed they insisted on a rerun, and the offending stations apparently complied.

Anime is taking away Earth's lifestream....
*que Aeris' theme*
I like the Kana in front of the eyes thing, kinda funny.
Absolutely, I was laughing my balls off.
This is atrocious tbh. I'd go insane if I had to put up with this crap on shows I watch.
at least the kana thing happens on its own little screen and doesn't affect the overlays. The big illustrated warnings are far too intrusive though.
Not kana. Was all kanji over the eyes.
Let the weeabos think what they will. We'll let them pretend they know what they're talking about, so it's kana. :)
That was hilarious, but as far as that warning stuff, this means war...
The kanjin on the eyes were funny, but if that is what i was watching, i would be a hell of allot pissed.
A new form of cencorship.
A critical point of interest was blocked on the shima-pan! I RAGE!
kanji on the eyes, LOL!
am o the only one finding the obama announcement funny?
The kanji on the eyes harkings back to my old days of looking over a Japanese newspaper with pictures of murderers / thieves / victims with a black bar over their eyes.
The eyes thing seriously made me laugh
I 2nd that.
Picture 45 as very funny.
I'll 3rd that...made me laughed hard!
>non of them is kana
Yeah!! It's kanji!!!
the last batch of pics might become a new meme(?) if this article keeps up
(not that im complaining just saying it'd be kinda cool to post them in a thread)
I think it looks kinda scary... :S
MOTHER FUCKERS!!!
I'm going to take away YOUR lifestream if you don't stop trolling....
I'm gonna have nightmares tonight.
You'd think it was just a coincidence when the eyes get covered, but then they go out of the way to cover the guy in the bottom right of the one pic~
The last ones with Kanji eyed people better be intentional...
LOL at yamazaki
And that's one of many reasons for why there's pirating :D
The DVD/BD version, of course.
i think self destruct has been set in motion oO
Wonder if they're being deliberate in smacking the kanji characters 提供 (literally "sponsors") right on the eyes of the characters.
Even when the said characters aren't even at the centre of the screen, those words just seem hell-bent in obscuring their eyes. LOL
I remember the Chile magnitude 8.0 earthquake coinciding with that FMA episode. Even the subbers were at a dilemma whether to go ahead with their releases as there were simply no raws then that did not have the annoying tsunami warning map on it.
Just remember Winry's under boobies. They really mess that one up.
Lol I remember those FMA eps...
Fuck the earthquakes. I WANT MY ANIME.
I agree, and I'm sure the otaku agree. They don't care that a earthquake or typhoon is coming.
Ok, I shat my pants.
It'd be hilarious if another earthquake warning occurred during the rerun.

WALRUS TEETH !!!!
They went too far when they put ads on the pantsu shots.
Quick, hide his bukkit.
This is actually me who put this up, i only just joined the site XD Guess i should have done that first, but someone else might have put it up before me XD
#35 them fangs:O

Walrus Teeth XD
Geneon is alive?
Japan, it wants to pick Ed's nose.
ican bet anime fans wouldn't even care if the earthquake its happening on them as long theres no stupid news warnings between them and their fav anime
How dare they warn these people of problems that far away so they have time to prepare in the event something bad does happen. They should totally wait until the massive tsunami is only 1km from shore.
What does that kanji over their eyes mean?
Teikyou = Provided (by these companies)
It's just a list of sponsors.
What do you guys have against Dragon Ball ZWeather Forecast and Fullmetal with a chance of rain and a high temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit? What are ya, hipsters or something?
On a related note, that's the grossest thing Edward has ever transmuted out of his nose.
Some of them made me laugh so hard. Especially 17, the expression fits just too well. XD
I also loved the "bonus sponsorship massacre." How come the text fits so accuratelly in the eyes of the characters? Has to be some conspiration or something. O-o
Poor Japanese.
Is that guy in pic 45 trying to snort a tampon?
No, it's Udon. Japanese (though chinese in the first place -read history) style noodles. It's Yamasaki from the famous Batsu Game series. Funny guy. The Udon thing is a trademark of getting their asses kicked because it's so funny! :p
