In Comes The Cold! Winter and Our Love for All Things Otaku! {RSP}

{RSP} means "Random Stuff Post"... mostly pictures and videos pertaining to recent things like seasonal changes and Otaku-like miscellaneous et cetras! Enjoy with wonder and speculation in your tiny hearts!!

Hey guys! As we are endlessly dragged forward by the relentless flow of time, we see the many colors of life come alive in all seasons… and winter is no exception! We had our fun summer times, and are currently in Autumn (technically)… depending on where you live it could either be freezing cold or brisk and tropical! But either way, winter is an enjoyable time of the year, and what better way to celebrate than with our love for anime?!

But before we get into winter, a short tribute to Autumn in all its otakudom greatness...

As it gets colder and colder, don't you just feel like sitting next to something warm? We all don't have that kind of free time but of course whenever it's possible it's very enjoyable..

[⑨ , I think you're doing it wrong...]

Nothing beats the cold air of the winter! I bet none of you would agree, but it does make for some "breathtaking" pictures! (Get it? … Not funny huh? I don't care >_>) Who'd've thought just standing outside in the cold would look so great?

[As the wise RPGHero once said... "MOE!!!" ^^]

And everyone knows Winter = Christmas! In America Christmas is mostly about the gifts and the tangible franchise of buying everyone you know extravagant merchandise for the sake of living on in Jolly old Saint Nick's name. But in Japan Christmas is mostly about caring for other people (since it has even less of a religious connotation as it does in America… even in America it's dwindling…) and Christmas Eve is even called "Lover's Day"! It may be a long time until Christmas but you can still show the love, right?

Winter is a great time to watch anime. It's always too cold outside to do much and anime is the best thing to do/watch inside right ? Well other than have fun when it snows!!

[Uguu's and Auu's for everybody!]

So as you get ready to enjoy the cold wintry weather, keep your love of anime in mind! It'll keep you warm in the coldest snow storm :P

Touhou 12.8 Announced!!

ZUN, our loveable drunk and creator of the Touhou series of internet stardom has announced that Touhou 12.8 ~ Yousei Daisensou [The Great Fairy Wars] will be released at Japan's Comiket convention! Since Touhou 12.3's release last year, it felt like 2010 would be the year without a danmaku, but our prayers have been answered.


And that's not the best news by far. The star of Touhou 12.8 is none other than the strongest fairy in Gensokyou, our beloved genius Cirno!!

The story of Touhou 12.8 is supposedly based on the manga "Touhou Sangetsusei ~Strange and Bright Nature Diety," written by ZUN himself. The gameplay of Touhou 12.8 is different from integer installments in that Cirno has the ability to freeze bullets.

I would assume that dodging bullets or attacking bosses isn't even necessary either, seeing as Cirno is most powerful. All you need to do is unleash some Maru Kyuu Fever!

Touhou 12.8 (AKA Touhou 12.⑨) is scheduled to release at Comiket 78 in August.

Touhou ★ Vocaloid Tid Bit

Hi everyone, welcome to my post on Touhou, Lucky ★ Star, and Vocaloids!

I'm sure you guys already know a little bit about the legendary game "Touhou," the wonderful otaku anime "Lucky Star," and all about the cute voices of the vocaloids, but I'm here to input a little of my own unique appreciation for all of them. So here we go!

Up first is the Touhou vs. Vocaloid awesomeness. The original is the Touhou one by IOSYS (Touhou Project), but the awesome replica vocaloid style is just as good!

Here's the famous Silver Forest: Kero ⑨ Destiny!

IOSYS Version:



Vocaloid Version:



Put which one you like better in the comments! ^^

And last but not least: The Lucky Star bit! Join Konata and her friends to solve everyday problems!

Whoever did this is a genius:

*WARNING: Contains Lucky Star Spoilers*
Note: I highly suggest you read Chansu's post here first.



-> If you liked it, that's another reason why you should watch Lucky Star! =P
-> If you didn't like it... there's something wrong with you... haha, just kidding. You'd enjoy it more if you've actually seen the anime and know the Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga song.

That's all for today! Thanks for reading! ^^
:::Deretsun:::

Cirno is a genius! Trust me!

Oh maru kyu, you're really something.

Oh yeah, do the odenpa love girl! Chant like you mean it!
"Chi-ru-no, Chi-ru-no, Chi-ru-no, woooh!"

That pretty much sums up Cirno! Adorable ice fairy from Touhou. World's most well known idiot. The first boss we've all felt proud to defeat with ease. Cirno appreciation day guys! Though it probably happened already on 09/09/09!

Sometimes it's best to be genki! But seriously guys, don't be this stupid.
