Anime Fans Go Crazy Over A 30 Second Commercial
In Japan, a commercial for Kyoto animation was aired. This commercial was about boys that are in a swimming club. The commercial was meant to promote the animation studio but as it was shown to America on the internet, people took interest in it. In only two days, people on websites such as Tumblr have gone crazy about it with "fan blogs" and "roleplayers." Fans are calling this maybe-to-be show the "Swimming anime" or "Ore To Omae No Sa O Oshiete Yaro Yo". And also after only two days, a petition has been made on change.org to make this commercial an actual series. They hope to prompt Kyoto Animation to make it an actual show. Over seven-thousand people have already signed in hopes of this becoming an actual show. All of this happened after two measly days from a thirty-second commercial!
