Japanese zoo mourns anime-loving celebrity penguin

A celebrity penguin, which made international headlines after forming an attachment to a cardboard cut-out in a Japanese zoo, has died at the age of 21.
Tobu Zoo in Japan's central Saitama prefecture announced Grape's death through its Twitter account, saying that the cause of death was unknown. But according to NewsWalker, he would have been around 80-years-old in "human years".
Grape the Humboldt penguin became on online star in May after seemingly falling in love with the picture of Hululu, an anthropomorphic penguin character from the Japanese anime series Kemono Friends, after it was placed in his enclosure, the RocketNews website reports.
He is thought to have become fixated on the cut-out after being jilted by a female penguin called Midori, which had been his mate for a decade.
Yep, that's Japan alright.

I lived in Okinawa for a year. I’ll take their culture over ours any day of the week. Sure, the anime stuff is a little weird but;
Fiscal responsibility, high academic performance, healthy eating habits, good exercise routines, and low crime vs a bunch of fatasses, SJWs, and lazy fricks

That's tough. I'll see to it that one of my factories sends a bouquet of flowers.

they also don't have sex or procreate and their population level is likely irreparably harmed

Classic Japan, swearing off women and switching to anime instead

The crowds after Fukashima were amazing. Single file line unless a woman had a child right next to her and it seemed so quiet. Workers were efficient.
Opposed to here where people loot over shoes after a natural disaster.

"Dicks out for Grape" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
