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.”

I miss Madoka already.
Shush you. Kyuubee might be listening...
I wonder what effect this will have on Morning Rescue sales?
Not much considering a lot of people need morning rescue at the moment xP.
MOURNING RESCUE
I agree, Madoka is one of the best animes ever!
I think that goes to nanoha
Nope, not even close.
Kinomoto Sakura bitches
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.
Agree! Thanks to Ishihara's disgusting remark about the quake/tsunami victims, chances of him winning the election is very, very slim.
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 feel sorry for the victims,,,,I need anime!!
Is not like the other is any better than him though
Sad but true.
No. Matsuzawa withdrew.
Didn't he withdraw his candidacy and just turned to support Ishihara?
Matsuzawa's chances of winning is also very, very slim. Banning video games = Automatic loss
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.
Sadly, you know his chances are still laughably good.
Indeed! Down with Ishihara.
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
You never know...
agree!
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!
／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
Oh yes, kill me now. I have 5 star hotel stays in Hell, motherfucker!
I-shit-hara must die!
i hope he get cancer from the radiation soon. now that will be what we called DIVINE retribution
YES HE SHALL
He's obviously a Madoka fan as well :)
O RLY?
YA RLY!
Finally, something I can agree with Yamakan.
Amen, brother Yamakan.
Ditto!
what he meant is that that was not earthquake, it was walpurgis nigth in action.
So he chose to stand up for Madoka, not Fractale... I guess that says a lot about whether I was missing anything by not watching Fractale.
But Fractale wasn't postponed.
So, is he still retiring because he is butthurt about Fractale being a mediocre show at best?
CRYING OUT THE TRUTH OF HUMANITY.
That sounds too awesome...
It's all about the money, since they wouldn't sell as much now with everything going on.
Greedy bastards.
