Zac Bertschy killed himself - rerelease Kodomo no Jikan

[xyz741]

It's definitely an outdated remnant of the 2000s where teenagers and fans were overwhelmed with the idea that animation is a legitimate form of entertainment and art, yet were so convinced that only Japan was able to make such media only it just so happened to come from Japan.

I think that simplifies things too much. There was a mix of people on the "anime = Japan" thing and I admit to (still) being one of them, but it has nothing to do with "Japan Ichiban" or whatever the hell you want to assume about Japanese superiority (although there are people like that). I say "anime=Japan" because we started using "anime" to replace "Japanimation" (because it was deemed offensive) to be "animation FROM Japan". The quality thing became more of an issue when TokyoPop did their ill-fated "Rising Stars of Manga" (which was actually a good idea in my opinion) that led to people saying a bunch of rando amateurs are not real mangaka and wanting to make a Naruto ripoff doesn't make you an anime professional.

In Japanese, "anime" ultimately means "animation" so it is not entirely false to say Disney or Pixar stuff is "anime". But colloquially, "anime" means animation from Japan and I prefer it be used that way (altho I don't really care a whole lot if it isn't). There are a few edge cases that make it exceptionally useful in that sense to draw a distinction for example between the Powerpuff Girls cartoon and the Powerpuff Girls anime.

It's no different than how "sake" in the West means "Japanese rice wine" but in Japan is a generic term for alcohol (rice wine is usually called nihonshu, "Japanese liquor").

I think it will be to fair to close this thread after ANN does their "memorial service" for Zac.
There would be no reason to keep it open after that.

Plus, this series already got rereleased in America. So no need to keep this thread open for long. We can still make fun of Tranny Hope Champman for her gay bullshit though. Rip. to Zac

My cat is a huge jerk who wakes me up at either 6 AM or 7 AM depending on the time of year for breakfast. He gets very excited for breakfast. One minute he will be laying there in loaf mode, then he will get up, stretch and immediately start pawing and meowing at me to be fed. So in order to do risk assessment I looked it up. He also gets mad if I stay out too late or go to bed too late.

I wake up around 6-7 am every morning to a round of acupuncture because my cat demands food and attention his pokes are Credibly skilled and very precise

She has her own thread to do that.

I didn't know who he was until a couple months back when I spotted him rambling about the evil gooblegrapers claiming they left a death threat in his mailbox. He seemed like a nut who would be mentioned here, so I looked him up and sure enough people were discussing his antics in the thread about his troon ex.

Like I said in Hope's thread it's not a good thing he killed himself, but ultimately I don't think the world is going to be worse without him in it. Dude was a nasty piece of work.

Is his Facebook still up? Would be funny if his old comments become used against him like his comment on GamersGate quote-unquote. I wanna know what weirdo would send a death threat to Zac of all people? He's not even that huge at the time when GG was a thing. Sad thing about it this will be used against him when folks talk about the good old days of the internet before GooberGates.

Yeah and afaik he never posted any proof it happened. Even big players in the Autism Holy War like Brianna Wu and blowy Zoe weren't getting death threats left in their mailboxes (and any claims of shit like that they had were thoroughly debunked). I highly doubt anyone gave a fuck about some random dime a dozen soyboy male feminist type.

My best guess is he was making this shit up to try and show everyone what a woke wahmen respecter he was in sad attempt to get pussy. This happened after Hope trooned out and they broke up so I wouldn't be surprised.

What a poor banana that Zac has become. Forever burning in hell over his lies on Vic Banana and GamersGate 5.0.

Wonder what he posted about the New Zealand shooting? Bet you it's way worse than his GamersGate comment.

We have had our enjoyment and said what needed to be said so I too agree this thread should be closed after the ANN memorial cause we kicked his dead faggot corpse to the barn and back a few times.

It's been almost 3 1/2 days now since the news broke and only these videos show up. The one that is 29 minutes is a news show and they only mention him for a little over a minute before they move on
View attachment 1321234

Only three videos about his death and the most viewed video can't even surpass 300 views. "Loved by millions", ladies and gentlemen.

Hope's said many times the first non-heavily edited dub for TV anime she ever watched was the original Fullmetal Alchemist on Adult Swim, so I doubt she has any real opinion or interest in any anime before the 2000s. Aside from the obvious Utena and Sailor Moon every SJW like to flock too despite them both having tons of elements they'd usually bemoan like underage girls being sexualized.

As far as Discotek, yeah, Mike Toole and other ANN cronies work there so it's no surprise and they're a small company. It's more telling the more mainstream companies like Viz and even Funimation haven't said anything about him. It's literally just the 'old guard' clique who are making him out to be some pillar of the anime community.

It speaks volumes that most people in the anime industry don't seem to know or even give a shit about Zac or "what's he done" (outside of Discotek, who not coincidentally have members of ANN working there). It just goes to show that no matter how much ANN tries to valorize their fallen hero, their fantasy outlook is not the same as the harsh reality.

I think it will be to fair to close this thread after ANN does their "memorial service" for Zac.

I agree, and no matter how one feels about Zac, his family has to be affected by this and they deserve some peace and closure.

 

[Boobie Bomb]

Two more videos made of him.

I get being a good samaritan but ummmm........not the best idea...especially in a fucking pandemic. Idiot.

Word of advice to all: Don't cancel your damn health insurance when people are dying. You could get sick next.

I'd wager that if he cancelled it to help someone, he probably didn't have the money to meet his premium anyways. And if him cancelling it to help someone was something that was one of the last things he did, I'd suspect that was part of his planning for killing himself, not a cause of him killing himself.

 

[Boobie Bomb]

So now his friends from the site are starting to notice his Twitter account getting trolled since Zac can't block/delete the "haters" anymore. Kodomo no Jikan also appears so be a topic of contention with them. Wonder if anyone told them it actually did get released in the states.

Don't tell Phobes but Kodomo no Jikan got rereleased in America but I bet he or she won't know that since they, not a true anime fan.

I wonder if said someone is Hope who demanded he pay her alimony since they were still technically married.

Or maybe he was hiring prostitutes and subscribing to OnlyFans, who knows.

There is no way he wasn't sending money to his ex lover who became a man.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

To be fair.....I'm sure once he unmasked her and saw the ugly shit, he ran like hell.

Him being involved with this thing of all people however, is an anomaly all its own. Who looks at this thing and says "hmm yeah I'd tap that"

plz tell me this isnt true. The guy gets fucknig cucked and had to become a faggot for "him" and then also pay his troon-ex fucking alimony and then killed himself over financial trouble? Holy shit.

Hope sucked dick to get a job at ANN. This was after cheating on a guy from the other site she worked at. She is a nasty piece of work and a common whore. Giving her that position over any sane person who actually knows their shit about anime and the industry should be considered a war crime. Then she married Zac and Zac faked being gay. Then he stole her money which is the only good thing he ever did in his pathetic life. That is why they split.

Also I recall Spoony wanting to tie and rape her in his basement or something?

I mean Justin takes it up the ass and he created the site but still.....
