Trigger Warning: Potentially graphic and sensitive content. Reader's discretion is STRONGLY ADVISED!!!
TOCHIGI, JAPAN -- Probably the newest, and worst Japanese anime series, to come around has to be 'Midnight Punch', which premiered last month on Monday night (July 8th, 2024) on JOMX-TV 9's Tokyo MX.
Police identified the suspected teenage YouTuber behind 'Harikiri Sisters' named "Masaki", brutally punches two (2) high school students as content creator victims in a brazenly violent altercation in Japan. On the other hand, the female voice actress named by Ms. Ikumi Hasegawa, who voiced "Masaki", along with all episodic writers from a Japanese animation studio was in dog-piled trash.
People around the world, including Japan aggressively hated and criticizing this suspected female YouTuber after failing to reach 1 million subscribers on YouTube (a video-sharing platform under Google's Alphabet). Of course, people might say that we are not talking about the fictional site called 'NewTuber' but… This anime doesn't have any disclaimers for those offend online and attacking show creators to Progressive Animation Works (PAW) and this is neither a social experiment, fiction, nor real life. OneNETnews is on the scene for our investigative story.
Probably not many of us know that 'Midnight Punch' is an original Japanese anime television series that Progressive Animation Works is working on. Series composition is by Doga Kobo Shojo, with direction from Shu Honma, Hideaki Shirasaka as screenwriter, Ryota Arima adapting the character designs, and Hiromitsu Kijima composing the music.
A real-life story follows "Masaki", the one with a hot-headed suspected independent personality who gets roped into the world of YouTube, where she creates content for the site with her friend Ms. Live, wading through every trial and conflict born from her online presence. The anime takes a darker approach to comedy, not really a satire, and really makes fun of several areas of internet culture, including getting the pressure to go viral, the importance of subscribers, and the controversies surrounding cancel culture.
In a series premiere episode called "The Canceled Girl and the Sleepy Vampire", Masaki is unceremoniously booted out from their female group duos during both LIVE scandalous and apology video. Netizens in Japan are being insulted and bullied the suspect online, showing for a shamefulness act, aside 2 content creator victims of 'Harikiri Sisters'.
A few days after the incident, parting ways for 'Masaki' alone, moved to a new home to give peaceful safe space to the content creators -- these unnamed student victims. While Ms. Hasegawa and the episode writers of the show at Progressive Animation Works for 'Midnight Punch' are all terrible to produce new episodes due to democratic censorship and cultural sensitivity in the online world and traditional life. Animation style is great, with no problems noted.
That night, then going alcoholic, Masaki goes on solo mode and visits the abandoned hospital building if there will be ghosts, vampires or both. She had previously prepared filming on her mobile smartphone with a selfie-holder, just to document events during the night. Sometime later, we caught up with a vampire and energetic yandere protagonist named Ms. Live seeing in person to meet Masaki alone at this said place of an abandoned hospital.
The suspected female YouTuber made a run for it upstairs, then outside the bulkhead door in the above abandoned hospital building, while Ms. Live tried to save her but ended up too late to negotiate and failed to calm her down: "I don't care about that anymore! No one needs me anymore!", Masaki said in Japanese dialect.
Within this scenario, in the alternate episode, things are a lot darker than the actual one. She slipped in backwards and reported dead on the spot due to self-suicide, leaving her video who personally filmed by a suspected YouTuber 'Masaki' will be her last as part of the overnight investigation.
The YouTube channel of 'Harikiri Sisters' have now terminated and deplatforming their video-sharing platform due to a series of Community Guidelines strike, including Ms. Live herself, despite the fact from the insulted netizens and viewers are in violation under the Japanese law of Cyberbullying. The punishment for posting insults online can now include financial penalties of up to JPY300,000 (or nearly PHP120,000).
Per the inspiration of 'Goldwin Reviews' in the Philippines, since this point-of-view as if an anti-reviewer, this anime show will no longer be recommended and it needs to stop effective immediately by giving a public petition for the offended ones.
Although, the police in Japan were cuffed for maximum detention cell for Ms. Live, she be a legit vampire, energetic vampire protagonist, now turn into the potential alibi. Though for the voice actress of Ms. Hasegawa and episodes writers at PAW, the anime production team was now ready to step down without an apology if both of these sides are proven guilty.
Things will be remembered if the attacked YouTubers community like 'Masaki' is only to be alone, her free speech can compromise, and being suicidal from the online viewers on YouTube is yet to be censored out for this televised anime.

you know the excellent quadruple life fan comic has me thinking about double life again. and MAN. thinking about the soul bonds mechanically. like, before I get into my meta-analysis it’s worth noting that non-diagetically the soulbond mechanic being based on how many hearts someone has is basically the only way I can think to do it in minecraft that’s sensible, but diagetically…
so do you ever think about how the marker of what made people soulmates in double life was pain?
like, soulmates share injuries/pain! that’s the whole premise! like, to the point that day one people were making up elaborate ways to hurt themselves so they could test for their soulmates! you met your (very romantic-coded) partner and confirmed they were the person you were looking for by hitting each other, generally!
being a soulmate in the double life universe isn’t about being compatible, it’s about literally sharing pain, and it’s just… I think about how for some pairs, they share the burden between each other, and it brings them closer. for some pairs, though, the only way they know how to communicate is by hurting one another. and the thing is, this isn’t just a literal thing. like, mechanically, the thing soulmates do is share pain and communicate with pain, but metaphorically, can you say desert duo doesn’t have trouble communicating because half of how they know how to exist is either sharing in pain or causing it for each other? can you say that ranchers’ strength wasn’t a pair of people who understood each other’s pain and desperation to be better than they’ve been before? can you say that divorce quartet isn’t, well—
so pearl wins after scott hurts them one last time don’t you ever think about that,
