A Hyperdimension Neptunia anime event attended by Rie Tanaka has been cancelled after an fan wielding a crowbar burst onto the stage demanding she be brought before him to face retribution for the crime of marriage.
According to online accounts by those in attendance or connected with the event, the incident began at an anime talk show event for the upcoming Hyperdimension Neptunia anime, which was attended by the seiyuu cast including Rie Tanaka.
Suddenly a man wielding a crowbar burst into the event and took to the stage, claiming “there is a criminal amongst you!,” and demanding “bring out Rie Tanaka!” whilst reassuring the rest of the terrified seiyuu that he would only harm “the criminal.”
The seiyuu immediately took the decision to flee the stage, and all escaped without injury. Staff bustled the man outside even as he himself demanded they “call the police!”
Unsurprisingly, the event was cancelled and the man arrested.
Various sources identify the man was as a seiyuu otaku fan of Rie Tanaka who had become enraged at the fact of her marriage, and was apparently also responsible for various attempts to disrupt her fan club.
Year-old posts from 2ch ranting about her marriage and the possibility of her being pregnant may well be the same individual, and certainly seem consistent with the kind of maniacally creepy behaviour both seiyuu and idol fans are notorious for.

I did not know gordon freeman was a seiyuu otaku
He is in jail now. So, bad news for the fan. Half Life 3 have to wait until he's out the jail.
Wasn't him, clearly, he spoke.
Special Mission: Free Freeman
And just as Gabe Newl stop diciding to delay it every time we call him fat.
Prior to the incident, he only posted and harassed online.
This event was Gordon Freeman's first time speaking since before he was mute.
Escaping from a Japanese prison would be child's play for Mr Freeman.
Is there vents?
implying HL3 was going to get released anyway...
I didn't do it, I swear!
Why yes, he is. And had he used his long, hard tool on the seiyuu, he would be spending half of his life in jail.
Naaa he'll be out a lot sooner then that for Gorden Freeman getting past the security in a Japanese prison would be an easy side quest.
I DID NOT KNOW YOU ARE A SICK SHIT THAT WATCHED PEDO CARTOONS OF SATAN!
Eat a dick.
Who does he think he is, Nyaruko-san?
No sir, follow the Freeman!
unsightly jealousy LoL
i don't understand everyone these days.. humans are fools.
Yeah. The little Terran monkey boys are nothing like us sensible Kizintosh. Are they?
Indeed, I already im shit, but these guys really reach a whole new level...
SO ARE YOU FOR WATCHING SHIT CARTOONS OF SATAN!
How dare you! Nyaruko wont ever hurt the..
Wait will she..?
Nope she will defend them with her life! Otaku goods and people who make them are what make the universe go round you know.
NOPE YOU WILL BE EATEN BY HER AND ALL FOR BEING FUCKS IN LIKING THIS SHIT ANIME!
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? A PEDO SATANIC SUPPORTER? MUST BE!
I don't support satanic stuff. I support the pagans.
NO, YOU ARE NOT KAMINA, YOU'RE ANTI-SPIRAL!!!
You've got to be kidding me..
Obsession, by Calvin Klein.
Toiletry, by Erranty.
truth is stranger than fiction.
This was the funniest article I've read in a while.
Well done, seiyuu otaku.
What would you expect from an industry that promotes this kind of unhealthy fanaticism of idols?
By industry standards, Rie is a granny nowadays.
Not that I would mind doing her, though.
She's a one heck of a sexy granny.
i prefer kitamura eri though :)
Why people who is not japanese put the surname first ?
If you aren't a raw fish eater one, why didn't you put the fuckin' name first ? YOU ARE A ROTTEN WESTENER !!!
That's the truth
Silly question: The alleged perpetrator was arrested and physically removed, so why did they cancel the event?
Did nobody think, "I can stop being afraid now, because the bad man is gone...")?
Maybe they were worried there'd be more than one.
LOL japs
19:45
Isn't it obvious, to Americans the only important place in the world is America. And for American otaku, the less important other place is America.
So stupid Americans.
"US where kids kills each other with guns"
No no no
1) In the US, it's adults who kill kids
2) They don't kill them with guns, but taxes, unemployment, reality TV, censorship, secret surveillance (on the kids and everyone else), etc
Sankaku jap logic: When criticized on the state of japan, always deflect and talk about US, and ALWAYS assume the speaker is American.
LOL dumb fuck
that would be comparable if the kids killed over voice actors getting married
03:13 lol learn some english jap your shit doesn't even have proper grammar. So fuckin stupid japs. This is why reality keeps bitch slapping you left and right.
no different than US where kids kills eachother with guns
All you losers and your pathetic interests crack me up. 'Otaku'? What a bunch of failures. Go get a life.
If we didn't have a life, we wouldn't be alive to even classify ourselves as being even mildly, 'otaku'.
Learn what the hell life is - it's what we've the right to waste at our own discretion.
Good grief.
Says the guy who has nothing better to do than troll on the internet.
Then what are you doing here? Telling people to get a life. I'm sure you'll be the last person to leave here.
lol japan and your crazy otakus
LoL at least there's worse person in US that actually massacre peoples.
LOL JAPAN BEING SUNK SOON FOR ITS PEDO SHIT!
