You should note that that post on “Sankaku Complex” is at a blog done by foreign fans of Japanese animation for foreign fans of Japanese animation. The original Japanese story (http://www.recordchina.co.jp/group/g30159.html) did not have any such comments, nor did it mention anything about “destroy Japanese anime”. Translated comments from Chinese netizens (seems to have been via a Taiwanese paper) included in the actual Japanese report (intended for Japanese people, not for foreigners who enjoy Japanese animations) were: “Ultraman is Japanese; this is nothing but a fight. Are there no more Chinese who can do animation?” “Kill Japan’s Ultraman.”
