The organisers of Comiket have promised preferential treatment for terrorism victimised Kuroko’s Basketball circles at C84 – although they have yet to explain what is to prevent another round of threats persuading them to ban those same circles a second time.
Comiket’s organisers say that C84 and C85 will see preferential treatment given to Kuroko circles excluded from C83, and apologise for having to kick them out in the first place:
It was extremely unfortunate that the Comiket organising committee was unavoidably forced to request circles involved with Kuroko’s Basketball doujinshi and goods refrain from participating in C83, and we must again apologise to the circles affected.
[…]
And for those circles whose participation we were forced to overlook for C83, we will prioritise their participation in C84.
No mention was made of any investigations into the initial incident or what will happen in the event of further threats.
The very obvious conclusion that they may be jumping the gun when the culprit remains uncaught and both police and the venue can presumably force them into cancelling should further threats be made has occurred to many:
“Did they catch the culprit?”
“If they get another threat they’ll just cancel them again.”
“At least the fujoshi will be happy.”
“What is the point if they don’t have the culprit?”
“At least wait until after an arrest to announce this kind of stuff!”
“The cops are so scummy they probably gave up any hope of them actually doing anything.”
“Since Big Sight has the deciding vote it is meaningless for them to be trying to decide anything by themselves, and it is irresponsible for them to announce this without mentioning the possibility of the same thing happening again.”
“These guys are awful, they agreed to go along with this and yet they keep insisting they are not responsible. Even a child can see it is as much their fault for caving in as anyone else’s.”
“Considering the number of people who already had their doujinshi printed only to have the event cancel their participation just before, they have a lot to answer for.”
“They are just going to cancel Kuroko’s circles in the summer as well anyway.”
“I don’t think the police will actually do anything until somebody is gassed.”

sankaku layout is bugged in firefox only for me?
Same.
Strange, I had that only yesterday.
There was a sankaku logo all over the comments. It's gone now.
Here too. FIX IT PLEASE SAN!
Not for me.
dat ass
A "Big Sight" to behold.
Should come from a character of Kuroko's Basketball, this page needs more males.
dat ass indeed.
Those thighs could crush a bowling ball
Ishikei4LYF
Face is so cute, too. I love how Ishikei draws lips to look so "juicy".
But yeah, dat ass.
Completely unrelated but is this site completely broken for other Firefox users too?
http://i.imgur.com/vWSSWlK.jpg
Chrome and Internet Explorer work fine. Only Firefox screws up, even with a completely new and clean profile.
same here
Istall chrome, then. It's almost time to use a serious browser... ^^
works fine for me, blame latest firefox release
Nope, happened to me too earlier today on Firefox 3.6.16. Now it seems fixed.
Happened yesterday on Firefox 11.0, too.
Big Sight indeed.
sankaku layout bugs here too.
When I read the title, I thought it was about Misaka and other Kuroko's lesbian rape victims. :(
LOL, same here.
Maybe they're setting up a sting? Which is what the cops should have done in the first place instead of caving to terrorists.
Have cops undercover as fujoshi swarming the whole area.
More threats will happen for this summer's Comiket, certain circles will be banned, and the cycle will repeat until Comiket is forced to shut down permanently. Once one person (or group) gets away with it, others will be swift to hop on the bandwagon and join in.
I predict that Comiket will cease to be in less than 5 years.
I think it would actually be fun to permanently force-ban fujoshis out of comiket. It bugged me the first time around, because I hate that kind of thing in general, but now I just think it would be fun to watch those organizers squirm ^^
Now how is that fair :/
The same bug is happening on my android tablet using Dolphin Browser.
clear you cache on firefox and refresh that fixed it for me.
Fifty cents worth that the "new" Japanese Government forced the organiser's hands to this. C83 was held when DPJ is in power, C84 is held at the time Tokyo is under LDP rule (Shinzo Abe holds PM post since November last year and his party generally is supportive of anime industry, unlike the stupid Shintaro Ishihara who left to form his own party.)
The damage was already done, Comiket organizers lost a lot of respect from a lot of people for doing something so stupid.
This was all planned from the beginning!
Works great in Dolphin.
I'm using Chrome and some of the adds aren't loading today. No big loss.
I bet the day after saw 20 new threats mailed to them.
is it just me or can anyone else see the next two Comikets being nothing but Kuroko's Basketball circles.
that can be easily taken care of, just call in a polite threat and name your terms
Well now, that pic certainly got me to click on this.
and tohou?? anyway kuroko sucks after third vol.... it should have been stopped around 4-5
Hopefully not....
Are they going to blame it on the Koreans again?
