“Black Rock Shooter”’s Yutaka Yamamoto has announced that if the next work “Fractal” wouldn’t be hit he would retire from anime industry!

An anime director Yamakan(Yutaka Yamamoto) who is well-known as a supervisor of “Black Rock Shooter” is now in charge of a director 2011 Winter anime “Fractale“’s director. He has announced his retirement in case of a failure of “Fractale” at the press conference of it. But most of Japanese anime fan seem not believe his words.

Fractale

On the news paper he is called ["Haruhi"'s Yamamoto], for  he was also involved in producing “Haruhi” and “Lucky Star”. But he resigned from the projects halfway, because he quarreled with Kyoto Animation that is an anime production of “Haruhi”, “Lucky Star”. Then he became independent, but he became to provoke the audience and say his radial opinion. And he recently repeats to conflicts with anime fans and is said big-mouthed man by many anime fans.

Such he has this time announced it.

It is a lie.

What is the success? What is the failure?

14

His words lacks the confidence because he didn’t define what is the failure.

This fellow is good at fishing Otaku as usual.

He is a best fisherman.

Ah, it has been decided that he will retire.
Good-bye, Yamakan.

I don’t dislike Yamakan.

If “Fractale” could exceeded “Lucky Star”, it would be his victory.

48
Won’t he come back to “Haruhi”’s project?
Is it impossible?

50

He can not give his name as “Haruhi”’s Yamakan.

67
There is sometimes a person who would die if he couldn’t become the center of public attention.

“Fractale” would be a hit after all, because the anime that advertises itself loudly would be a hit.

If the anime could be a current topic, the anime would be a hit.

Yamakan says lol

“It is about time that the enemy of anime, the harm of anime cries. lol Everybody, now here’s your chance to beat completely this fellow who talks big and says all kinds of names. I expect your all-out attack with all your strength.”

145

But who has possibility to be able to do something is only Yamakan.

There is nobody but old men in the other men.

    he insulted k-on more than once. i will never forgive him. if he retires or not, i don’t care.

    @Furuba-tan
    I like him not so much, because he speaks too much in spite of a director who is in the producers’ side.
    I think what is important for us is the works above all.
    So it is not better that a person is both a director and a critic.
    I cannot help guessing that he criticized K-on is caused by his personal enmity against KyoAni.
    But at any rate, I expect “Fractale” because I love all anime.
    Thank you for your comment!

    Well, I’ve got bad news for Yamakan: here in the Philippines, some may be impressed with the first Black Rock Shooter, but many feels it came short of what they expected…

    As a precaution I suggest to him that he’d better be ready with his retirement papers…

  • seiji

    OK, I just hope Fractale looks good, period. The proof will be in the viewing. (sorry for the double post…)

    @seiji
    The reaction to BRS in the Philippines is almost the same as Japan.
    Though I think the characters and the original song’s view of the world are very good.
    Yes, let’s judge Fractale after watching it.
    Thank you for your comment!

    Irrespective of Fractale’s financial success, I think it will be a brilliant show. I respect the people working on it.

    The fact that K-On sells like mad while Sora no Woto does so poorly is a massive injustice.
