DPJ to Stop Funding 'Anime Hall of Fame' if Elected

In what comes as a blow to all otaku and those with an appreciation for otaku-esque things, the DPJ's Hirohisa Fujii has stated that he plans to cancel future funding for a media arts center. It is often referred to as the "Anime Hall of Fame", and was established with the intention of being a base for promoting Japanese pop culture internationally.

This measure is fairly reasonable, as Japan has been mired in recession and the DPJ wishes to redirect the funds toward unemployment measures and medical care.
