Otaku “Marries” “Love Plus” Character, Becomes Possible Anime Diet Radio Fodder

Mike’s Take: All I have to say is: we talked about this before. And now it’s finally coming true beyond just petitions. Whether it’s really just “performance art”–I think it’s much better if it’s sincere!–or the fulfillment of all the hopes and dreams of lonely otaku everywhere, it’s hard to say. But Nico Nico says it best: wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

He has good taste in character designs, I must say. She is cute.

  4. moritheil: they are but inevitable.

    wintermuted: we can only hope. Or fear.

    こなちゃん: thank you so much for the translation! It’s nice to have a real live Nico Nico fan here to set the record straight. We do our best to cover everything wacky in the anime/manga world.

    Heavens_feel: can’t it be both a publicity stunt and a sincere expression of the superiority of 2D beings? 🙂

  5. “ended Japan..” LOL. Seriously though, this does bring about subjects that very well become more and more relevant in the not too distant future. (This screams mini novel!)
