| According to the official website, PonyCanyon is perplexed by a parody of Shinryaku! Ika Musume in the extra short anime of Toaru Majutsu no Index II included in the first volume of the Blu-ray and DVD. Geneon, the producer of Index, hasn't obtained a permission from PonyCanyon, the producer of Ika Musume. In the short anime, Index speaks with "Geso" desinence and extends tentacles. Screenshot of Index-tan II PonyCanyon said they take the parody as a fan-service out of good intentions, but insisted that some of the Ika Musume staff were hurt by the unauthorized parody. Update PonyCanyon producer Ishiguro Tatsuya removed the post about the parody from the official blog and apologized for provoking unwanted antagonism between the fans of the two anime. He said the investigation of the issue will be conducted between the two sides, not in public. Source: Ikamusume official website |

| @BigSimo, kalamity51 and LelouchX: You people are pushing it. One of you extends his tentacles and he's getting a lawsuit. |
Onibokusu said: Of course they'd be hurt, who would want to be associated with J.C. Staff's Toaru Majutsu no Index II? exactly my thoughts^^ |
 |
| This sounds VERY familiar. I read a translated comic with the same idea, with the exception of the Tan part. |
| this is Ironic .. I hope the one who had this idea got fired ! |
 |
| They are WAY to sensitive about all this da wa~. Besides, I doubt the Ika Musume producers have the copyright on tentacles and saying de ge- da wa~ |
| Houston we have BUTTHURT |

| "Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5." |
| What kind of retarded copyright laws do they have that you have to ask the original creator if you want to parody their work? WTF, Japan, WTF? de geso~ |
| Isn't it an honor to be honored by JC Staff ja na-IKA? |
    |
| how could they de geso~! |
     "If only if only, the woodpecker cried, the bark on the tree was as soft as the sky" || ♪My mind, heart is broken♫ |
| They should feel honored that Ika was parodied in Index |
 |
| Index can't stand Ika Musume's popularity de geso~ |
    |
| Anyone who's seen Index-tan 1 or 2 should be able to tell from the screenshot that the entire parody will last 2-4 SECONDS. Seems like a big reaction for something so small ;) |

| just one word unforgivable |
| The horror Index should never have exposure to someone as epic as Ika Musume. |

IndexFanboy214 said: every one who hates this is definitely taking this too hard. Have to agree. Especially since it comes across as a very affectionate parody; it's not like they're intentionally insulting the Ika Musume staff. |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |
| but parody is a form of Honor! |
 |
| well, I really lol'd when Ika Musume parody. I've see many fanarts about Index and Ika, but I never thought for a second it will be official parody :p well, it's still J.C staff's fault. |

Onibokusu said: Of course they'd be hurt, who would want to be associated with J.C. Staff's Toaru Majutsu no Index II? It'd be like Twilight parodying Dracula. Despite any good intentions, some things just shouldn't happen. While I agree wholeheartedly with this statement, this is still pretty ridiculous. With Japan's lax copyright laws (i.e. doujinshi), I can't imagine their laws regarding parody and satire being stricter than the U.S.'s. It looks to me that someone's ego needs to be put in check. What's with all these anime producers/directors being drama queens lately? |
