Finished Ep.5.

The whole episode was really pretty sad. But the saddest part being, that Iori lived.

Inaba > all.

The antagonist is a big troll, and really Taichi should have threesome instead though I still prefer Iori :)

EDIT : Seems like it will run at 17 episodes according to ANN

Well, apparently some shit happens behind the screen for this show
http://subcultureblog.blog114.fc2.com/blog-entry-8612.html

It's regarding a VA named Ichiki Mitsuhiro, who they played a prank on for the purpose of the Kokoro Connect pre-air talk show that was streamed on NicoNico before the series started, in which Ichiki was told he was auditioning to act in the series but then afterwords revealed he was really going to have the job of driving the Kokoro Connect promotional van around cities to promote the show.

The tweet in the yaraon post said that Ichiki will be acting in the actual show after all from episode 14 onward. But the tweet was deleted for some reason. The yaraon blog comment is just, "Huh, wonder why they deleted it? Didn't sound like a bad thing."

And that's the entire story.

I'm reading this from Korean websites, so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems like this "prank" they pulled on Ichiki Mitsuhiro is generating a huge firestorm in Japan at the moment. As bastek66 said the staff put on a "fake" audition for Ichiki, who was rather devastated when he found out during the "talk show" (who wouldn't if your job interview was fake?). They even went so far as create a fake character that is supposed to appear later (I guess this is where the episode 14 onward came from?) Things went south quickly when Sugita Tomokazu, a friend of Ichiki, found out and entered the fray.

King Records is trying to put out the fire but it's getting out of hand; this is a PR nightmare for the series in general. The prank is already listed in Niconicopedia as the Kokoro Connect Candid Camera Affair (ココロコネクトドッキリ事件). This is a very disappointing development.

Damn. Guess the lesson here is: Sugita don't let anyone shit on his friends.

I hope this won't really affect Kokoro Connect BD sales later, since there were some boycott involved by some people already.

Code: Kirin!

I was wondering when someone would bring this up.

What they did to the guy was pretty cruell. The least I can say is props to Sugita, and that I'm glad Sawashiro wasn't involved with this.

Go look at them. It's fucked.
Honestly, if this were something else, I'd feel sorry for them.
But they done took that prank way too fair, and if this is the only way that people can show that they don't like that sort of shit, then so be it.

I read that she has been getting pics of 4chan-ers' penises on twitter.

And i can't believe that people actually made a wiki page for this incident.

The whole incident makes me wonder about a lot of things though. Are people really that horrible inside? Will they actually follow other people's instructions based on baseless information?

I mean seriously, a bunch of anons just followed what another dude said and sent pics of their dicks to her. Are they THAT bored? Do they actually WANT to send pictures of their dicks to her?

From what I gathered, the one who marked KitaEri as target (due to many haters labelling her as Yamanaka's slut etc) are 2ch'ers while the one who actually "harassed" her are anons from 4ch.

And yeah, some Otakus can go pretty wild on stuffs.

Yeah I mean, they're bullying someone who they're not even sure is a part of the whole prank thing. That's just silly.

People are weird.

I assume some of those anons are KitaEri haters who took advantages of the situation. Doesn't really help too when she's closely associated with Yamanaka.

EDIT : It seems KitaEri finally deleted her twitter account... >.>

There are a number of reasons. There is mob mentality. Or the people who do this on the internet think they have this heroic obligation to be this masked vigilant who must make those who are in the wrong pay. Lastly, most otakus were picked on at least once in their life time. They pretty much put themselves into Ichiki's shoes. So, I think they're just out for revenge.

What happened was is that some one said that she was involved with the whole thing, over and over throughout the threads, and people often argued that she wasn't, but no one would be swayed.

Someone suggested spamming their twitters with dicks
Someone posted her twitter.
The first person (before apologizing that it got out of hand, suddenly full of remorse) said that he did it to piss /a/ off, and after that, the EPIC LOL LEIGION WE ARE ANONYMOUS kicked in, and then we have other guys posting their cocks over and over and over, and people shouting that they should stop

And that was that, and the account was closed.

Well, found this on the other forum.

This incident reminds me of a similar one that happens 2 years back and it involve the same parties. :-

http://www.famitsu.com/news/201010/28035135.html

Basically it happened on a promo event for the anime adaption of Onii-chan no Koto nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne!! hosted by Kitamura, Ichiki and Yamanaka.

In the midst of the event, Yamanaka made a sudden announcement to revealed some recorded lines that borders on the likes from Eroge and H-anime which Kitamura and Ichiki didn't expected.

Ichiki's lines take the blunt with them going "You had not even start to play Doctor And Nurses with your big brother here !" and "I just want to see how a naked girl is like !" boardcasting on a crowded street.


So it was not the first time they did that prank to him, albeit the first one wasn't as ridiculous as the recent one. And the public didn't really bat eye on this, so the mastermind decided to take it one step further.

If anything, Yamanaka aired the lines of the main character whom Ichiki auditioned for but didn't get. When Ichiki asked why would Yamanaka do something like this, Yamanaka just replied "Oh, I have a better character that is more suitable for you." A.k.a., friend C of the main character.

I read that the whole Kitamura penis pictures started because someone on 2ch, yes 2ch not 4ch, said that Kitamura slept her way into position with Yamanaka. Then this theory got passed around boards and forums, and it eventually deluded into "Kitamura was also in it too" when it finally reached the other side of the ocean.

They make public apology
http://www.kokoro-connect.com/news/

TL;DR
Everything was staged, they said that people misunderstand the context and placed the blame on those who uploaded the video.

And there you go, another classic way of dealing public issue...Pretend nothing happened and move on.

Not just a bro. His treatment to Terashima after this incident in Game Host show.

>Sugita, after seating down, gets as far away from Terashima as possible.
>Maintains his distance throughout the show.
>Sugita does not glance at Terushima one bit during the show.
>Terashima talks to Sugita but is ignored
>While they’re playing games, Sugita does not talk to him
>Sugita: (Something about 00Gundam). Terashima laughs but is ignored
>Sugita: (Something about signing). Again Terashima laughs but is ignored again.
>Sugita: [BUSHUUU~~] Terashima: [At the end that’s it? lol] Sugita: *Ignores Terashima*
>Terashima does a body touch, Sugita completely ignores him.
