Noted anime director (most recently for Fractale) Yamakan has lived up to his reputation for outspokenness with a condemnation of the wave of vaguely earthquake -induced anime cancellations.
The missive was of course delivered by Twitter:
There’s no need for “self-restraint” with anime. There is no need to cancel Madoka. Now of all times, anime must keep crying out the truth of humanity.
This, coupled with an earlier remark condemning Ishihara’s “divine retribution” comment in no uncertain terms, has sent his stock soaring amongst fickle otaku who were not too long ago ridiculing him for Fractale.
His earlier comment:
Divine retribution isn’t something which indiscriminately strikes the innocent down. If Ishihara can’t even use Japanese properly he has no business talking of “identity.”

Agree! Thanks to Ishihara's disgusting remark about the quake/tsunami victims, chances of him winning the election is very, very slim.
Indeed! Down with Ishihara.
Sadly, you know his chances are still laughably good.
You never know...
And if by any chance he did win...
He did it by illegal methods.
You have no magic, you're just a faggot who loves to ride Ishihara's dick.
No he made a contract with Kyuubee
agree!
I-shit-hara must die!
Is not like the other is any better than him though
Sad but true.
Matsuzawa's chances of winning is also very, very slim. Banning video games = Automatic loss
Didn't he withdraw his candidacy and just turned to support Ishihara?
No. Matsuzawa withdrew.
Akira Koike sounds like the better choice but who knows...
Or... Yamakan...
I say we all vote for that guy, he knows what he's talking about. We being the ones of age living in japan and have the ability to get up, out and vote.
I feel sorry for the victims,,,,I need anime!!
Well at least there's SOMETHING we can thank the turn of events for.
Wow. Someone who used Twitter correctly!
Not exactly the "Divine retribution" he was thinking about huh?
i hope he get cancer from the radiation soon. now that will be what we called DIVINE retribution
YES HE SHALL
Isnt that Bad if he dosent win? The other candidates are like...worse than he is already ._.t
Problem is, his replacement is even worse.
Caps Lock is cruise control for cool!
Oh yes, kill me now. I have 5 star hotel stays in Hell, motherfucker!
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼ { If Ishihara has problems winning the next election he can make a contract with me to change his fate! }
please don't elect ishihara again.
fuck that asshole
I agree, Madoka is one of the best animes ever!
Normally, your comment would be direct target for our spam. But since the boss said no spamming this week, we'll pass.
So your a grunt.
I think that goes to nanoha
Nope, not even close.
Kinomoto Sakura bitches
What's this? Balls? In one of MY anime directors? It's more possible then you think.
He's obviously a Madoka fan as well :)
O RLY?
YA RLY!
"There is no need to cancel Madoka"... I strongly disagree. that's the only anime that needs to be cancelled, along with fractale maybe.
I disagree with you.
I disagree with your disagreement that his disagreement was disagreeable.
That's so Japanese
Hey, your boss said no trolling.
crazy bitch (or son of bitch?)...... i envy of your madness....
They see me trollin'
You high man?
Those girls eyes look photoshopped on to me for some reason lol.
Finally, something I can agree with Yamakan.
Amen, brother Yamakan.
Ditto!
It's as if whoever is in charge of scheduling doesn't understand the simple concept that in the darkest of times it is often the smallest things that keep people afloat.
When people come back from a day of work listening to damage reports, casualty reports and warnings of imminent nuclear holocaust it is a little bit refreshing to turn on a tv and watch something that doesn't make you wish you weren't alive.
Who's left to watch Madoka, though? All the basements were flooded.
