Huh? How will this stop the bill? If anything this provides Ishihara an opportunity to slip the bill pass while everyone's attention is on the disaster.

^I almost expect Ishihara to blame this on immoral manga.

It's been fun.

Yes, because some Otaku...whatever...thing is what's most important here.

I mean seriously. It's okay to be concerned about your favourite anime/manga/voice actors etc. (I'm still a bit nervous that Oda hasn't checked in), but I don't think an anime bill is what's most important right now.

The link I posted is supposedly constantly updated with information on the whereabouts of people in the industry.

Apparently Oda's fine. I don't know how valid a source this is, but if it relieves your worries somewhat.

Then what about the creators of Death Note?

Who would get the rights for it if Ohba died?

There are rumors circulating of Satoshi Tajiri having died in the earthquake, but nothing's been confirmed yet.

Googling his name and «earthquake» turns up some pages saying he didn't. Waiting seems prudent.

I'm just worried about the workers who are trying to keep the radiation in control... the citizens should be all right, since they're evacuating...

I'm actually glad that theirs two seperate topics on this, one for the general effects on the Earthquake/Tsunami, and one dealing with any blows that Japans industry felt.

So ummm...I heard that they aired To Aru Majutsu No Index anyways...

So it appears that some stations are still in business despite the earthquake.

Anyone know what other shows are still okay to air? Like say...Gosick?

Hmmm, something tells me even if all the other shows air, we might not get them, since someone in Japan must have been uploading them for fansubbers to get a hold of.

Weekend broadcasts will be a bit of a mess, but Tokyo is more or less ok, and thats where...well, everything is, so things should get back to normal fairly quickly.

Tite Kubo's safe too.

So there I was being Kubo when an earthquake hit. Neither the trains nor the taxis were running, so I walked for two hours to get home. My life's been better, but I still love it.

Nico singer Nero (the only person I follow on Twitter) is also fine.

^ Ok, now that was the most hilarious thing anyone's said about the earthquake since it happened.

I actually wasn't intending it to be hilarious; more like introspective, perhaps? A 'things are bad, but this is not the end' sort of feel.

The point I was trying to make was that, regardless of his troll status or not, it's good to know that he's all right. Fan-hating Kubo is a big thing, yeah, but he is a person, and I'm glad he survived.

Huh, that just came off as funny to me. And yeah it's good to know people are ok over there.

^ People are wishing him dead? Sure he's the Japanese Jack Thompson, but like the American Jack Thompson he doesn't deserve death.
