A sad day for Kiwami.

Published by Hinano at 8:16 pm under Unsorted

So along with the sad news of Mainichi Daily News being killed off, apparently the creator of Rurouni Kenshin got pissed off that everyone made horrible (and by horrible I mean awesome) parody videos with his characters doing all sorts of crazy shit. Soo apparently they’re now becoming very scarce on NicoNico too. In fact the Futae no Kiwami tag seems to be gone and I think people are using “FA” in its place for now. :cry:



Youtube Mirror

This is the best video an artist did that portrays the remains and legacy Futae no Kiwami AAA!! I gotta say though, Nico’s golden year was definitely 2007, early 2008. Now with them being stricter than Youtube, it’s really lost it’s magic for me. :( Finally here’s a great video that still contains original Futae no Kiwami video footage, that was deleted off Nico but remains on Youtube (for god knows how long.)

    I understand the artist’s POV though. I have a feeling you hit the nail on the head in your Deviant Arts stealing/tracing/coloring post not that long ago.

    That’s probably how a lot of companies feel. I like looking at free stuff too, but when you look at the lack of profit they are making, it was only a matter of time.

    Soon there will be nothing left but people singing badly, fist fights, porn, & dying cockroaches.

    FOr me though I don’t think its the same thing. It’s not as if they took like someone’s art and traced. THey totally created a whole new parody out of it and made no money from it at all. I’ve seen tracers on DA try to pass off their work as a print or sell it at a local artist alley. Man it was so entertaining too :cry:

    It is sad Niconico Douga is full of gay videos now (I don’t understand what is funny about it).

    “apparently the creator of Rurouni Kenshin got pissed off that everyone made horrible (and by horrible I mean awesome) parody videos with his characters doing all sorts of crazy shit.”

    Is there an actual link for this? The link listed there is to a club on My Anime List that doesn’t mention anything about the creator of Rurouni Kenshin being pissed off……. I did some digging through some news sites, but I’ve yet to find this information, either…..

    Seems like the copyright holder of Rurouni Kenshin was “mad” at the Futaeno Kiwami AHHH! MAD.
