That is just ridiculously greedy of Kadokawa and Toho. It is unheard of anywhere but japan having a winning case against a fan making harmless reviews or summaries. These greedy corporations should get a grip with reality. Imagine actually going after some poor guy for telling you the plot of Spongebob episodes online. The antics they get up to is more realistic than crying about people reading a spoiler or summary account, that is breaking the good faith laws. Oh no! Come get this man he’s making money talking about the Wiggles kids show! You get my point. Fill in whatever show you want. This garbage still smells.
