    Anime fan disappears in Japan

    Posted in Others at Apr 24th, 2008 by oOgA /

    An American anime fan, Skye Lynn Budnick disappeared in Japan after buying a single way ticket. Family found a suicide note which she did not send.

    The United States Consulate in Sapporo has asked that people with more information on Budnick’s whereabouts to call (011) 641-1115 (from overseas, call 81-11-641-1115).

    A piece of news just because someone disappeared after leaving a suicide note ? I wonder will someone post news of me if I went missing? prolly not.

      While there are obviously other issues when it comes to how much attention this story has received, you have to keep in mind that this story is pretty unusual. Sure, people write suicide notes and disappear everyday, but it isn’t very often that they run off to japan to do it and this one happened to be an anime fan, thus making it newsworthy to ANN.

      I agree that they have to be careful about this though; I’d hate to see ANN become a missing persons database for every runaway with an anime connection.

      I would. Just tell when you are going to go missing before you do.

      I read somewhere that apparently the girl wanted to have a last view of sakura blossoming before she takes her life. If that’s true, she’ll need to wait a couple more days for the sakura season to get to Sapporo.
