I just came across this very depressing bit of info...[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I can't believe they would pull an anime for this.

I found it hard to believe but after a little research I found it's happened several time before. I'm not sure how anyone else feels but I'm pretty sure that if If I saw an anime character in the likeness of say.....Tom Cruise getting his brains splattered all over the runway.....I'd get over it pretty quick.
Anyone else heard anything about this?

It's those dam Korean Nazis ";<

But srsly, the studio only animate according to what's in the manga isn't it?

Yeah it's a different culture but the Japanese, Chinese and Korean people all dislike each other

wow some people are just so petty its just an animation nothing that serious.

[ZEE]

damn racist scum take this damn anime off the air

[Towerman6789]

pls leave us animefans to choose if WE want to see it or not. HOTD and Fairy Tail are the best Animes right now for me.

Yep it's in the manga too. They even pay him a compliment before the "Splat".
It's certainly not derogatory or racist.
Yes he is getting his brains splattered but tastefully so. I would think the actor would be happy about the exposure. Kind of like being happy you get a cameo in a Star Trek episode even though you are one of the extra "Red Shirt Guys".

If the show gets pulled because of this, that's it I'm canceling my vacation to Seoul and no more kim chee for me.

Simple, they dont need to show/air it in Korea. I have seen some anime embarrassing other countries like America, for example Read or Die which they shown american president wet his pant and acting very stupid and cowardly and yet it still shown in America. So probably just that Korean is too sensitive or something.
But to be honest if it was me or my friends drawn into anime zombie character and get blown into pieces, i will be fine with it, but if it was my family, yes i ll be offended.
And if i m offended by that movie/anime, i just wont watch it.
So if Korean feel offended by HOTD anime, then they dont need to bother watching it.
