...Well, I guess from a purely literal standpoint, no, Hyakko isn't actually poop or stuff from a garbage can. But the whole thing still sounds a little weird to me. Apparently the makers feel that this person (or these people) are on a campaign specifically to malign the show and destroy any shot it might have had at popularity.
Very weird.
Hyakko follows the comedy adventure of four girls making their way through Kamizono Academy.

I'm far too detached from such madness.
1. This would technically be libel and not slander as it is written and not spoken, unless message board postings are considered fleeting speech - which they likely are.
2. The staff would lose this case if they actually brought such a suit under American law but I believe Japan doesn't have the same sort of anti-libel protections of criticisms under free speech as many Western countries do. Still, they would have to prove those comments made a noticeable negative impact on their sales (the first DVD will be released on 1/23) or the studio's reputation, either of which would need to be measurable if they were to somehow seek financial damages. I think it's a poor move that gives the studio negative press and little positive benefit.
By the way, I found Hyakko to be funny (have only seen 4 episodes).
Indeed. It started out so-so, but it turned out to be a great anime. I liked it very much, it was fun and reminded me a bit of the Persona games (guess because of the school setting). I was going to make a forum thread asking if anyone knew a good similar anime, but maybe I can do it here even though this thread is old?
