Bad Apple on CNN (Cirno News Network)

[legendfox2000]

honestly, i cant believe how stupid ppl can be. i get D's and C's on my research papers that i bust my balls for while these "professionals" dont do their research on simple viral videos. BULLSHIT

[AsianKidzFTW]

Looks like they didnt do any fucking research at all

[Supersonicgirl16]

The negative sign and sad face is soposed to be a angry face stupid IPhone.

[Supersonicgirl16]

No... Just no. Why CNN WHY!!??? You soiled the good name of Touhou!!! -:( plus you cut it off before Sakuya came :( SHAME ON YOU. (and it's not creepy. It's 100% awesome.)

[h4kesi]

haha so many mad weaboos

[Nyocurio]

Laymen talking about stuff they know shit about... amusing every single time.

[TheGH0STmzpelf]

GOD D*MN IT WTF ?! How incompetent can you get ?! I'm just mad. KOROSHITEAGERU CNN !

[3e2e3c]

i'm getting the impression that she's not bothered by marisa, but rather the camera changes, and changes in perspective. partially because (i think) it's impossible to consider marisa as creepy, and also i had a similar reaction when i first saw the video what with all the morphing and such.

[fanteller]

over 90% of people dont know about touhou. SPREAD THE WORD PEOPLE!!!!!!!! IF THE NEWS PEOPLE CANT FIGURE IT OUT THEMSELVES, THEN F!!k NEWS PEOPLE IN AMERICA. THE JAPANESE RULE OVER ALL!!!!!! p.s. f@#k you lady F*#K YOU NEWS LADY!!!!!! and look out, flandres watching you.

[KurochiMisa]

Total retards.

[soraroxs411]

I like how these idiots, right off the bat, review this PV without knowing what it is or what it's from. ._. This is why I don't really like watching the news at all (in English, anyways. Much less CNN).

This is probably why the U.S. doesn't get more anime stuff because some people don't know how to accept fictional stuff. *Facepalm* -_-'

[TOUHOU918]

That lady must die

[astrex34jr]

Idiots they should have done more reaserch about how it was made. It was originally a shadow art pv.... Idiots

[KanoNokkusu]

SONG?!? Just a song?!? Why didn't they do their research before putting it on the news?

[HeartbrokenOtaku]

This,among other reasons, is why i quit watching TV.

[ryukXsayu27]

The reporter one minute later: Wait, why would you need to animate stills photos to make a computer animation? Did I just call that the "making of"? ... Nah, probably no one will notice.

[iNyanTaco]

Would you look at that! It's Cirno News Network!

[Venatius]

It's like someone said, "Here's a video. Talk about it. Go." and switched on the cameras after a count of ten.

[Tsurf]

...-.-;;;

Morons.

[95688kage]

"this is the kind of technology people are really into, online.

[cataback101]

Poor old Conan O'Brien

[Yushie48]

People should really do their research before telling the whole country about it.

[YuraRonime]

touhou is the best!! Screw you, CNN!!

[CrystallineInfinity]

CNN : C***, N***** and Nitwits

[LaviaChan]

Zabiję ich, zatrzymali na momencie, gdzie miała pojawić się Sakuya! >:D

[OlaCola03]

I hate media

[chongxxx]

CNN

Making Cirno look like a genius since 2010

[aarmy555]

CNN......I hope you all have terrible lives, because your to lazy. oh you cant understand japanese? theres something wonderfull called subtitles. maybe then after you pull your head out of your ass. you will understand hm?

[KitsuneKira022]

NOT cool CNN. Not cool.

[BlazeWyvern]

CNN, you disappoint all Touhou fans.

[chococta96]

Though the lady commenting Marisa as "creepy" was a bit unprofessional, however have you guys thought that what are the chances of them knowing Marisa in Touhou? In their mind, Marisa looks like one of those traditional ugly witches that appears in fairytale, not in manga type that we know... so you shouldn't just say that lady is stupid or something... Its clear that they haven't done research enough to know the originality of bad apple and Touhou...

[Tupster]

@chococta96 You know this comment makes a lot of sense. We all know Marisa as the super cute ordinary magician but 99% of the time if you see a witch on a broom she isn't cute at all. However the main Cirno level idiocy of this video comes from the reporter claiming "this is how they made it."

[ichibanohimesama]

@chococta96 Even with that explanation it's still a stupid comment. I don't think she was referring to Marisa "the witch" being creepy but the video being creepy in general. At the ends she's says "That's bizarre" "I'd probably have to watch it over and over again...to get it. To get the attraction. And if she was talking about Marisa that's even stupider. It's obvious just from the shadow that she's not designed to be a typical western interpretation of a witch.

[BloodlustKid]

@chococta96

I'm guessing the announcer was thinking of Snow White when she saw this.

[stryflyer]

CNN...Hahaha, dumbasses...all of them.

[allicatp]

Creepy? A better word is AMAZING!

[LittleMonster6464]

My advice for CNN?

Do people a HUGE favor and get some information about the things you review !BEFORE you make the review ><"

[ddd8828]

Hey asshole lady, I'd like to see you try making something like Bad Apple.

[MewMewMe2U]

why is everything on cnn!? we dont have anything but depressing stuff on sky news, but for some reason everything is put on stupid cnn. cnn this and cnn that.

[jjsullivan5196]

Uh, no.

Those are just prints of each frame of the rendered video, the video itself was made in a 3d modelling package.

[onetailed]

Stupid lady is stupid. The word for it isn't "creepy" it's "masterpiece".

[Tige321]

._. Screw you,CNN,that was the greatest ever. ;_;

[Emziloids]

The worst review I have ever seen

[majob]

Average Americans don't really care about otaku culture. Don't get mad if they get something about it wrong. Just be grateful they even paid some semblance of attention to it. I simply find it amusing that they didn't do research. I'm not raging that my precious Touhou didn't get the proper recognition it deserves.

[MrLazyEyes]

Is this what they call in the internet a... how do you... me me?

[ViolinSnowKid2]

I don't give a fuck if CNN doesn't know about Touhou, I just wanna see the technology behind the animator.

Shit, if I was ZUN, I would be happy that Touhou got on CNN regardless if the reporters didn't know what it was.

[WolfHavenXIII]

I don't even... ever say I don't even.. but this... I don't even... so it deserves an I don't even... for serious.

[ladiiellii]

CNN...you are such a 9-ball.

[spinafire]

I almost raged. Hard.



[metaknightmare1234]

>_> Sigh.. they just don't understand it. Have they TRIED, ONCE in their lifetime to make a stop motion animation? I don't think so. Now then, if they DID try to make one, was theirs as badass as the Bad Apple animation? I don't think so. Do they REALIZE how LONG this would take, and how much TIME and EFFORT it would take to make a work of art like this? They have NO IDEA how great the animation quality is, or the amount of time and effort it would take to make this. They just don't get it. >_>

[Wiccapedro]

CNN is a 9

thumbs up if you agree :D

[Pollix780]

To their credit, at least the guy did a little more research on it than that lady gawking at it.

[Hellopp03]

 they don't even know what the actual meaning is to the song and calling Marisa creepy? she should see Flan

[Edueey]

Why is so much peaple blaming the stupidity in this video on american culture/CNN/whatever ? Mass media is retarded like this all around the world...

Guy 1: Look at me , isnt this random subculture awesome ? i am an expert on the subject at hand ! , ignore the fact that i have no idea what i am talking about !

Guy 2 ( in this case the girl ) : that thing doens't give us money , so its sucks.

Guy 1: well, i agree, moving on.

[MoeAnimeLover]

Was it on channel ⑨?

[dfc123able]

CNN is teh strongest, didn't you know? ⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨­⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨­⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨

[psychochickendelivry]

They should stop trying to understand memes

[Cuccogirl]

...this STILL makes me angry

[angelcokelife2000]

WHY IN THE WORLD ARE THERE MORE LIKES FOR THIS VIDEO!!??!?!?!?

PEOPLE MUST DISLIKE THIS LIKE OVER 9000!

[leksuli]

this is a fail, the stop motion thingy is NOT the behind the scenes video, goddammit.

WHY IS EVERYONE ON AMERICAN MEDIA SO FUCKING STUPID?

[sharpshooter33]

Gotta love how CNN just half-assed this report

[ArceusShaymin]

Love how CNN is a NEWS NETWORK, but they refuse to do their homework.

Seriously, look it up in greater detail beforehand.

People watching it for the first time wouldn't get where the images were INSPIRED from.

Oh, why's that girl got De-attatched sleeves? Why was that girl riding on a broom? Why did that maid just throw a knife?

These are many questions newer people ask, and for all of us to answer them is a chore. THIS IS WHA NEWS IS FOR: IN DEPTH INFO ON DIFFERENT SUBJECTS!

I rest my case.

[Commentguy2]

lol touhou XD

[brenoakiy]

"Cirno News Network"

lololol

[Heyprinny]

CNN isn't all bad. Sure I'm pissed about how they completely ignored everything about it being Touhou, since I would have preferred having Touhou somehow becoming mainstream in America, or at least something close to it, but I wouldn't condemn the entire New Network for being all idiots, maybe deficient for missing out on something that could get a massive cult following and stimulate the economy but not IDIOTS per se....

[katananaa]

They're not even good enough to have the title of "Cirno News Network".

[psyfaqs12312]

Just when i was gonna try watching the news......

just makes me feel insecure now......

[yawn74]

1st high -tech - japan

2nd technology -US and others

when will we going to get the technology standard like Japan?

The bad apple screensaver is so amazing,not like others

bad apple screensaver runs as a windows layer form aka transparent layer such that when u are watching the video, the screensaver pops out and still the video is running. Not like other screensavers , just capture the screen and run the animations....

DAMN i want to learn how they make the screensaver for my anime!!!

[Dragynn5]

Calling this station the Cirno News Network is incredibly insulting. Cirno is not THAT stupid.

[godlessyurifan]

This barely counts as being on the US news. They don't even know what they're looking at, much less spend any real time on it.

[AKIcoronet]

ASDFGHJKL FINALLY SOMETHING I LIKE IS ON THE NEWS ;_;

of course nobody on cnn knows it's gumi singing

[LuluComplexion]

@AKIcoronet The singer wasn't Gumi O.o

It's nomico.

[AKIcoronet]

@LuluComplexion

wait

what

o_o

someone said it was gumi orz

[LuluComplexion]

@AKIcoronet Maybe they watched Gumi's version?

Or maybe they thought it was Gumi's singing without looking up who did the vocals?

[AKIcoronet]

@LuluComplexion

hmmmmm

i don't remember who it was...

but...

OH WELL NOW I KNOW XD

[shymin12356]

I don't know what Marisa would do if she heard that insane lady calling her creepy

that wouldn't turn out pretty

on second thought, tell Marisa that

I'm gonna get popcorn

[Hotchick7124]

Bad Apple is not a stop motion. Don't u see the black and white? Its much computer-like and the animation is TOO smooth. That video was just a stop motion test and the guy used bad apple to test their stop motion. Jeez.

[UltimaGardevoir]

Guys don't call CNN Baka's.

They don't know what 'Baka' means.

And the lady would think the word sounds 'creepy'.

[LeekGallade85]

"ZOMG TEH REIMU" More like RAYMOO.

[RubyRedSmashball]

How come the these guys NEVER do research. And the stop motion was uploaded after the original PV.

[ninryu4]

If she thinks a normal human like Marisa is creepy, good thing she haven't seen Flan.

[nyanyanyaish]

At least this made the public more aware of touhou.

[GranitePlox]

@AceofRazgriz2011 Please don't. Actual otakus are social outcasts in Japan for a reason. If you want to immerse yourself in anime and culture do not call yourself an otaku proudly and have a Japanese person bat an eye at you thinking you have a compulsive problem.

[L0andM011]

It took a while to think of this but it would have been funny to have put in Flandres part Then it would have been creepy.

[MechMK1]

0:59

Remilia, please...just end this! Please do us the favor and...

Oh my gawd, I can't even express how BADLY they failed. Ever heard of video animation?

God, I have to watch this over and over again to...to get it :P

[ricric7]

~_~ No wonder foreigners call Americans stupid.

[MySpaceBarsBroken0o]

lol it's like Cowboy Bebop at his computer.

[CROSSFIRE145]

wait so wat were they talking about didnt catch a thing

[xEliteShinobix]

Aparently Touhou is too hardcore for CNN, bet they failed 30 seconds into the first stages on lunatic.... :l

[TeamMemberStudios]

@xEliteShinobix They lost on easy.

[mewraspberry13]

That would be 6565 'little pictures' to be precise -_- stupid people...

[ChirayuKhotchasanee]

Fucking Americans !

[TouhouVampires]

the lady is just upset because japan has all the anime, while america has mostly shit on tv.

[piplupsingularity]

@TouhouVampires

Japan isn't just anime, however.

[ViolinSnowKid2]

@TouhouVampires

I'm upset that there's weeaboos like you that think America has mostly shit on TV.

[GoldenFox22]

@TouhouVampires ADVENTURE TIME DISAGREES

[TouhouVampires]

@GoldenFox22 true, true...

[MarisaKirisame42485]

HOW DARE SHE!! MARISA IS FUCKING AWESOME

LOOK AT MY USERNAME HERE.

LOOK AT IT.

IT SAYS MARISA KIRISAME

CUZ

SHE

IS

AWESOME. >:U

[3993816]

@MarisaKirisame42485 Yes she is! And I absolutely love her XD ♥

[MarisaKirisame42485]

@3993816 YES YES YES YES YES. shes awesome and i might get her cosplay soon ♥

[3993816]

@MarisaKirisame42485 Oh that's nice! :O

[girsfood]

That lady is stupid if Marisa creeps her out. SHE SUCKS!

[kanna175]

Uh.....There's no way it's stop motion.

It's totally MMD or a similar program. The way the hair and hands move make it obvious.

[GranitePlox]

@kanna175 This particular video is stop motion but not necessarily what the Bad Apple PV is. 

[SonicWolvelina99]

The more idiots and ignorants (like the woman here) I see in the media, the more I feel sorry for the citizens who are actually intelligent and actually do their research, understand what they are looking at and appreciate what other countries can do.

[Doomed100]

Rage

[TehChibiMage]

LADY, YOU SUCK.

[XDwfoxface]

>he thinks the stopmotion animation is how they made the original video

[GarF1eId]

So, nanomadai?

Ma Bobo!

Reasearch ga Bijo gyo kamu, CNN! kai inju gipakawon ara sa ma masa kai basura! ika'osa ga music video, dajun hisunud kara an paper art.

Ma bobo!

wa ba kamu utok?

[starpowerz]

That lady makes me want to go into an ALL CAPS RAGE. She just doesn't get it. And she obviously doesn't appreciate the amount of hard work that went into the Bad Apple PV.

Seriously,she needs to get on the internet more often. Someone should force her to watch the video.

[ikadasao0703]

女子アナがうざすぎる・・・

オタクが嫌いなのはいいけど、何でそれを馬鹿にした発言をするか­のか・・・

[MsGinchen]

When it comes to internet memes / things / stuff, television just fails to get it. Every single time. Like, when a newsflash showed a lets play video from a popular german lestplayer, they called him crazy and ready to be sent into a nuthouse, only because he raged about the game. Its like... television will never get what internet is about. They wont. ever.

[starpowerz]

@MsGinchen That's so true. It's also one of the reasons I don't watch television as much as I used to.

[517342]

@MsGinchen

You wouldn't possibly tell me who this german letsplayer was?

Bitte sag mir nicht, dass es Phunk war. ;_;

[NekoSuika1]

Fuck you CNN and the lady who called this weird they didnt even bother to ask what this video really was about or who were the characters in it.I'm really disappointed I thought they would talk about touhou not the technicality of the video they really can't understand the appreciation of touhou& this vid makes me kinda ashamed to be in the same country as these guys

[AmeKurou]

Wasn't the stop motion made FROM the video frames, the video being made with a flash-like program?

[agentlolipop001]

Wha... what?! xD

[Eldin4122]

T'was 3D, dumbass reporters. .-.

[YasmineBingei]

Dont need to mark CNN bad, fault the two reporters not CNN, might as well fault CNN for letting them, but I see fandom of Tohou's Bad Apple by Americans, people that liked and decently respect it. Not every American are like that, faulting them is quite unfair. Just sayin~!

[wisefelipe]

@YasmineBingei

Sorry, but CNN as a whole is quite biased, but then again, all American news channels are, CNN might as well be the most decent one.

Still, it's not really the journalists faults, it's probably the producers/editor's fault who didn't go to the trouble of researching what the hell the video was about, unless the reporters were the producers/editors too.

[calvinruin]

Cnn. Are. Idiots. That stop motion was not the original. And CREEPY? wtf, do some research next time -_-

[DrewDrawDrawnMiki]

@calvinruin I know. I think I'm going to scream at them. Surely there's a link to email them.

[rockmanzerozerozero]

Americans, I don't hate you, you do have things that other people should pay respect to; e.g. highly advanced technology, Hollywood, western culture; but some, I would emphasise, some of your people really are too consevative to accept other culture.

Being an Asian myself, I think that the two reporters are too disrespectful. Why be disrespectful to other culture when we respect yours?

No offense.

[sweethalogirl321]

I bet that lady who called Marisa "creepy" (WTF!?) would not even last 5 seconds when playing an ACTUAL Touhou game on EASY mode.

But seriously, Americans need to be more open minded. I know I'm kind of putting myself down (I'm American) but seriously, CNN is retarded.

[TheCatsCanary]

She... thinks Bad Apple is creepy? What?

[sonoeyuzu]

What does she mean get the "attraction"? o_O It's a really catchy song, with creative stop-motion shadow art of cute girls. Where is there NO attraction?

[MsOnisama]

Thank you CNN...for making us actual decent Americans look and feel bad. :D

[dragonz0ul]

I just HATE SOME Americans! they can't appreciate Asians and they say we suck. We make good music BUT they? Songs about Drugs, Violence and Sex? Only some of them are good ! Why can't they appreciate us?? JUST FOR ONCE???

[GoldenGal42]

To America, don't worry. We don't think you're stupid, just that the stupid people get given microphones. Do not mourn for you host the greatest of comic conventions. =D

[MissIkuNagae]

If she thinks Marisa is creepy, then she hasn't seen Flandre yet.. ;x;

[twinmill5000]

why you do this CNN?

[Shintear]

It's viral because it's FANTASTIC. Not like some of the other viral videos you see on the internet...

[MultiAnimeChick]

The male announcer seemed honestly interested and wow-ed but the female news anchor sorta killed it :/ She probably gave every "non-nerd" the wrong impression about what Bad Apple was supposed to be. Aghhh that annoys me :C

[dragononigiri]

WOW i cant believe america decided to actually show and appreciate something from another country that is surprising 

[BunnyLuverxD]

How is ti creeepy wth its amazing

[narukudude]

So thats what CNN stands for

[Ezraked]

How do you not get it? It's not like its math, its art. I don't really think you can "Get" or "Not get" art.

[kkyosuu]

Cirno News Network

[Swordsmanofthedark]

Who even takes American media seriously anymore? XD It's a total joke. (Yeah, I'm American and even I think it's a joke.)

[YoSoyEdo]

@Swordsmanofthedark AMEN! For me, it's British TV and Japanese music!

[LightningStudio123]

I understand perfectly why the woman needed to watch it repeatedly she's too much of a retard to get it on first watch

[NSDkiller]

6566



[LadyNani8]

C'mon lady it's not creepy. It's pure genius. -___-

[GoLucky1236]

I like how this woman takes into consideration of the people who actually LIKE and MADE this (since obviously I would think they'd seen this if it was all over nico nico video) and made fun of this. Really one of my favorite Touhou sounds. And the PV I do not understand is "bizarre" or "creepy". ART that someone made and you have no reason to "critique" if you're just going to make fun of it the entire time. Great job, you just lost a viewer.

[meaganfarr2]

THANKS CNN, YOU MADE AMERICA LOOK STUPID IN FRONT OF THE OTHER PEOPLE. *Facepalm* At least I'm one of the rare ones who can appreciate art in this country =w=;

[JunkMunchTazSquirm]

@meaganfarr2 Amen.

[Ezraked]

Oh, wanted to say. If this is "Bizarre" then she has spent around 5 seconds on the internet total. -_-

[Ezraked]

Sigh.

[Moontheblueneko]

that lady is an idiot. despite the song being in Japanese it is a BEAUTIFUL work of art. As a graphic design student, like, I bow my head to this video. its every thing designed, perfect, amazing transitions, flows smoothly and i LOVE the song. Maybe if this women would stop reporting stupid things and sat back to watch the clips they were using in these stories then MAYBE she would see the brilliance behind it. the original and stop motion.

[alphonse360]

@Moontheblueneko

>Japanese it is a BEAUTIFUL work of art. As a graphic design student, like, I bow my head to this video

Stop acting Japanese you heep of gaijin fool! kill yourself already!

[Moontheblueneko]

@alphonse360 awww arn't you cute =w= you called me a "Gaijin" you know words. stop trying to troll me and go play with your toys /:

[Gmanster64]

@Moontheblueneko what do you mean 'despite the song being in Japanese'? that makes it better.

[wuiyang]

i didnt watch them, i just keep watching bad apple ( stop motion) only XD

[siverfanweedo]

;A; lady U NO get cuz u no cool

CNN is a fucking fail they is to old

[PieaterProducts]

CNN can ruin Anything.

[YandereRussia]

facepalm

[LGuardinal]

I don't get why this is so rage-worthy. I avoided it for so long because everyone made it seem like they were dissing and/or fearmongering on Touhou, but they clearly liked the video, even if they were dumb about it.

[agentsword]

-facepalm- agree with some of the youtubers . Even Cirno smarter than them .

[REA00002]

@AceofRazgriz2011 nah, the people who would be part of the otaku generation will move to japan, leaving only the hipsters, wiggers, and emos to attend to america's wellbeing. the country will eventually fall apart as Congress argues whether they should put a ban on American Eagle or Hot Topic and whether the next national anthem should be by Lil' Wayne, Green Day, or ATTACK!ATTACK. and nothing of value would be lost.

[GranitePlox]

@REA00002 the people part of the "otaku generation" will be rejected because otakus are social outcasts and not the true image of a good anime fan =/

[Haney988]

I'm American and I live in the USA... but I love Bad Apple. :p

I think it's jus that some people CANT APPRECIATE GOOD THINGS.

A lot of those people being here... >.>

[azrael0death]

creeps u out? Lady, wait till u play Saya no Uta

[DarkIceSaiko]

This is another reason I can't watch the news.

[ScarletDevilRage]

@AceofRazgriz2011 Yeah! The otaku generation :D

[clopidy]

ummmmmm........... how in the world can they not get that???? it's a stop motion video made out of the frames of a video... maybe i would think what they think if the picture didn't move around and spin and such.... THINK before you put something on the news.

[HyperShadic191]

HOLY SHIT ITS ON CNN!!!!!!

[nikomario18]

DON'T SAY THAT AMERICA IS CLOSE MINDED. IT'S JUST USA!!!! AMERICA IS A HUGE CONTINENT AND USA IS JUST A COUNTRY IN IT!!!

IN THE OTHER COUNTRIES THE PEOPLE LIKE THIS VIDEOS AND MUSIC!!!

SO NEVER SAY THAT USA IS AMERICA PLEASE!!!

[AEternalDream]

This is why news stations like these can never go on the internet or play video games. They just don't understand, and bash them. Its really stupid :/
