MINE added that he was leaving up his Twitter account for the time being so his apology and remorse could be widely known.
The Japanese light novel series New Life+: Young Again in Another World was slated to get a TV anime adaptation this fall.
When the anime was announced, Twitter users pointed to tweets MINE made between 2012 and 2015 with racist and derogatory comments towards China and South Korea.
The TV anime is now being cancelled, with an announcement as well as an apology appearing on its official site.
