   I really hope that it doesn’t spiral into a blame game because the fact is, people died. D:

   I think the media said the man chose Akihabara as that area had high human traffic levels, and not because of Akiba’s relationship to animes…

   But then again, some people just want to blame anime for EVERYTHING

   Do otakus look that dispensable to the common folks of japan so much so that they are the first thing that comes into their head when killing is concerned. -_o

   Either that or common folks sees anime as films of evil or something. I’m sad for the victims but i have a bad feeling this case might just give us anime viewers a slap in the face.

   Hoo noes…

   Killer’s apartment found to contain numerouse doujins and killer claims that he only had interest in “anime and 2D worlds” and singing anime songs

   Now, not only the media, perhaps even the Gahmens are going to have a field day on Anti-Otakuism

   A terrible tragedy, the worst I’ve heard in my 4 years here in Tokyo. Japan is generally as safe as Singapore, but when something like this happens it becomes ever more alarming.

Do not use any < and > for your own sake. It will end the comment there and then. Also, there is an automatic IQ filter which weeds out comments made by those who accidentally got transported from the stone age.
