Today, however, the entertainment industry has changed dramatically. Talents [entertainers who frequently appear on TV in Japan] can no longer ignore the internet, YouTube has become super popular, movies are watched with subtitles, plays are increasingly based on anime and manga, and there has been an instance of a suicide stemming from a reality show. Considering all those facts, I then decided to take a contemporary subject, something that is happening in the real world of Japanese entertainment today.
Despite these quite rightful criticisms and questions, some fans of the show attacked Kyōko herself. One suggested she would cause the anime’s cancellation, while another suggested her criticism might drive the author themself to suicide. Attacks like these, rather than patience and understanding of a grieving mother’s point of view, would only seem to further underline the need for endeavors like Remember Hana.
