Twisty and Clara seem to have joined with enough forewarning to know the shitshow they'd be getting into, whereas TTT really didn't. Claude has obviously doubled down because of his pre-existing connections in Niji, but Kunai and Vivi were just fans who got in too deep IMO
Just a friendly reminder: The creator of Rurouni Kenshin, Nobuhiro Watsuki, was caught with so much CP in 2017 that they thought he was a distributor. He was fined 200k yen ($1.5k USD at the time). One of the people he mentored, Eiichiro Oda (the creator of One Piece, the biggest manga by sales) mentioned in 2021 that he believed Watsuki was an amazing person and was one of the people that pushed for Watsuki to stay in the manga industry. Watsuki's Rurouni Kenshin: The Hokkaido Arc is still an ongoing series.
There's far more than that gone, Ars Almal's Gregorio cover is one I personally confirmed has been privated and isn't on this list. Niji is nuking all attempts to make comprehensive lists of what's gone from the JP side, so it's incredibly difficult to find a real list of what's gone. With that said, there are some safe bets going off of what YAB had posted about on his personal twitter:
Years of content just gone in a flash. Maybe they'll come back after some tweaking is made but fuck me, this situation is shaping to be far worse than Hololive's copyright Yab.There's far more than that gone, Ars Almal's Gregorio cover is one I personally confirmed has been privated and isn't on this list.

-He handled the mixing for a good amount of Niji's 3D lives, and the list mentions that those have been privated:
-He specialized in orchestral mixing and recording (Gregorio involves orchestral backing tracks, for example)
-He has done work on voice packs before. I don't know if anyone here has checked if that stuff has been removed from the store or not, I know I haven't gotten around to it, but here's proof of at least one:

-According to YAB's own post (full disclosure, I grabbed this screenshot from 2ch) he's worked on at least 350 or more individual mixing projects for Anycolor, 400+ including 3D lives.
So we're looking for voice packs, music with orchestral mixing, and live music/3D debuts, and expecting 400+ takedowns. God only knows if we'll ever know everything that got removed, I highly doubt any of it is coming back.
When, from the moment the stream started, which in the charitable interpretation is the moment they came to know of the situation, did they try to ignore it? When did they try to "crush it out"? What did they do?
5 people, the current list of presumed victims is 5 people. Why is it impossible for nobody to have said anything? Johnny Kitagawa had hundreds of people at his house in a similar timeframe. Japan being Japan as you said, things don't get reported.
Then again, Epstein went on for literal decades and Roman Polanski's extradition had half of Hollywood up in arms.
Another reminder: simple possession of CP was only made illegal in Japan in 2014.
As I recall from the contract and rrats/leaks from the selenpocalypse, you can hand in your resignation at any time, but you'll graduate when they let you.
I mean... we knew that they'd been intentionally lean on management staff to maximize profits, but I didn't realize they were "intentionally ignoring a pedo stalker sexpest for years" understaffed. Is this the final death knell for Anycolor?
This is such a bad look, holy shit, did Anycolor really try to just hide any evidence they'd ever worked with this rapist before putting out a statement??? 3am JST? I don't care nigga someone go yank Riku out of bed to get a press release done, this is DEFCON 5 shit!
... so do we wanna start placing bets on whether this guy gets Shinzo Abe'd or is that too dark?
