I'm still gonna get one of the english ones AND wear it in public. I could care less if people have a problem with it. Let 'em say something and see what happens.

Yeah, you go do that. I'll just wait for the video of "what happens" to you to show up on Youtube.

Can't say I'm either surprised nor disappointed this was cancelled. It's for the best, it would have just further lowered the public's view on anime fandom.

You should not care what the public thinks of anime fandom. I could give 2 s words about what the public thinks about anime fandom.

What makes you think anything's gonna happen to me? If someone has a problem with it, they can kiss my **s. They wanna start something, they better hope they can finish it otherwise I'll do that for them.

Yes it is awful news. I would have worn the shirt....just not in public that is and maybe once I lived on my own where no once else could see me during the day.

I highly doubt that people watch Ro-Kyu-Bu while wearing clothes in the first place. It is a bummer though, that shirt looked comfy.

Hahahaha........... This is just like those stupid Japanese tattoos!

And people complain at the stereotype that anime are full of creepers in the news about "Man Arrested for Holding Woman Captive He Met at June Anime Con." Not helping your cause, folks! Laughing

I'm pretty sure they'll be others to make 'Primary School Girls Are Great' T-shirts. It's not like anyone owns the exclusive rights over the sentence 'Primary School Girls Are Great'.


If they trademark it, they could. Wink

I think these should also be cancelled in America D;, that would be extremely creepy if you see some older aged guy wearing this shirt, but if they are printed in Japanese-Text then I they can keep it ... not many americans would even know what it means so lets the weirdo be a weirdo without people having to give stairs protecting their kids.


It has nothing to do with America; both versions of the shirt, English and Japanese, were being made for the Japanese market. They cancelled the Japanese-language one because they figured not enough people would buy it, but with English text it's more wearable since not everyone will understand it.

I don't know, maybe its just me. I think wearing one of these shirts is akin to having a shirt that says "I'm a possible pedophile" or "They're only animated kids, so its okay!"

I guess that's cool now? Personally I think you would have to be out of your mind to wear that even if it is in Japanese and people cant read it. But hey if that's what gets ya' going nothing anyone says is gonna change your mind.

Hey, if they're gonna wear it, then there shouldn't be complaints when other people start calling them or their hobby "bad" things. Ya can only make one first impression. Laughing
