Date: 10/1/2005
As we had previously reported, an animation released by AVEX entitled "Maiahi no Doragostea Din Tei-Love" had recently come under fire in Japan. According to an anti alcohol / drugs civic group, a portion of the animation promotes heavy drinking and have demanded it's deletion. The animatiion features the popular character nomaneko. It was announced on the 30th that Avex's application for a registered trademark on the character would be withdrawn. Protests came due to the cat's resemblence to the 2ch mascot.
