There are reports that Kyoto Animation has dropped Tonari no 801-chan but no one is really sure why.
No one, except for me.
I told you that I wouldn’t let any lesser fujoshi usurp her throne, and now you see my power. I hope, as you read your latest volume of Nodame Cantabile, that you are trembling, knowing that Ogiue Maniax is not just a name, but a power source capable of destroying anime in their infancy with but a single gesture.
(In all seriousness, I’m kind of sad this happened. I was looking forward to what KyoAni could have been accomplished.)
(Maybe they’ll go the Xam’d PS3 downloadables route.)
