Just one of the recent tweets liked by Kazuyoshi Yaginuma, director of MMO Junkie and several episodes of Pokemon: Generations :/ And there's much more.pic.twitter.com/384ILL8fLJ
Another one. Remember, these are just the ones in English, a second language. There are far more in Japanese.https://twitter.com/erasuterism/status/959578140178776066?ref_src=twcamp%5Ecopy%7Ctwsrc%5Eandroid%7Ctwgr%5Ecopy%7Ctwcon%5E7090%7Ctwterm%5E1 …
People have said that he's trolling or just doesn't understand. These sort tweets have been going on for 5 years. Turns out in response to my own tweet, English speaking neo-nazis have begun speaking to him.pic.twitter.com/LlcgYKWMJH
boy am i glad i pirate my anime so i dont have to worry about giving money to this guy whenever i decide to watch mmo junkie
Yaginuma is not receiving money from this project. The money for MMO Junkie would be going towards the creation of different new anime.
he directed it but doesn't receive money from people who view it on legal platforms? I guess I don't understand how the anime industry works
Revenue is split between the financiers of the anime. So in this case, NHN comico (publisher of the original manga), Flying Dog (music producers), Crunchyroll (international rights holder + distributor), East Japan Marketing (marketing), Tokyo MX (TV broadcaster),
Signal M.D. (animation production studio), Sony Music Communications (music producer) and Dax Productions (sound production)
Does he not work for any of those companies?
Most directors in anime are freelance.
huh. today i learned, thanks fam
fml he retweeted your tweet
I don't even know anymore
I don't think Yaginuma understands what the tweets are about.pic.twitter.com/hmJeH5TRRs
I don't even know anymore too
What about the rest of the staff? You stated this information, that’s all. But what do you think? Do you think it’s correct to disregard the show now, despite the other people who worked on it?
Oh, of course. Just like anything with dodgy people involved, it's a personal choice on how to react to that. It is completely fine to continue loving the show, of course. Just as it's fine to now be uncomfortable with that.
Seems to me like he's joking to piss people off. If he isn't then we've got a Neo Nazi on our hands bois.
He's been liking and tweeting about this kind of stuff for 5 years
Why is it only covered now?
Oh no... I liked that show
You can still like it.
Oh i should have explained more I still like the show and idc about stuff he believes in, it's more of the fact he could be fired for it that worries me
Then mmo junkie wouldn't get an s2
They can easily replace directors. Saori Den, the assistant director of MMO Junkie is a former-Dogakobo staffer who also directed some really great episodes for Pokemon Generations.
Oh. Ok. Cool! As long as I get more of this cutie I'm goodpic.twitter.com/oYhP6keR3p
