JPs get too goddamn butthurt over the smalling pineappleing things. Canceling preorders over a joke? BOMBING VA TWITTER/FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS WITH PENISES? This is the K-ON or Kannagi breaking discs/burning novels bullpomegranate all over again.

Also, I don't find Kokoro Connect to be that great of a show anyways, but rather than simple bullying, this seems more along the lines of ruining this kid's career possibilities.
Some statements issued by everyone involved: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/201...-treatment
I've had some difficulty getting into Kokoro Connect myself. It's not that I don't like it, it just somehow, hasn't fit the shows that I usually like. Will still end up finishing it, but after this whole thing I'm not going to get too attached regardless of how it ends and all, given that it basically guarantees nothing further from this show.
P.S. For those interested, second season of Highschool DxD was announced.
