Yesterday, the Internet Archive went live with 200 settei from the production of #SakuraWars: In Hot Blood. I spent over a month scanning, cataloging, and preparing the images, but my part was easy. The real stars were @textfiles and @internetarchive! \o/
This competitor's entire mentality is straight-up fucked.
What Lynzee and ANN were able to do was brilliant, brave, and honestly, leagues above what so many of us have done. I don't care of what your opinion is, what they did took guts and courage.
They opened themselves to untold harassment and hate by telling the truth, but helped to finally bring some sliver of justice to a truly awful actor in the anime industry.
To sit there and tell the head of what is essentially anime's CNN "I'm siphoning off your readers because I'm not touching that story" is beyond fucked-up and shameful, to say lightly.
This isn't something to gloat about; we shouldn't be glibly saying "I ain't touchin' that."
The next Sakura Wars musical has officially been announced, and it is huge. The famed OSK Revue (That's short for "Osaka Shochiku Kagekidan" ^-^ ) will be performing a Sakura Wars stage musical in Kyoto! #SakuraWars
The all-female musical theater troupe will be performing a two-part show. from July 13 - 25. The first part is the "Sea God's Villa" story from the fifth anniversary Sakura Wars live show, presented as an opera. The second part is an original story, titled "STORM OF APPLAUSE"
A visual for the project was announced, along with news that tickets will go on sale on May 14, at 10:00AM JST
