A man besotted with virtual maiden Nene of Love Plus, the hit schoolgirl relationship simulator for the Nintendo DS, has married her at a Guam church.
He apparently paid a visit to a church on the pacific island of Guam, pictured, where he took Nene Anegasaki (above) as his wife.
He plans to hold a wedding reception back in Japan, and has invited media figures to attend. There he intends to show slides of the happy marriage, as well as the couple’s lengthy courting and romance.
The event will even be broadcast live on NicoNico Douga – those with nothing better to do can view it at 12:00 on the 22nd of November.
A small but vocal minority of otaku have lately taken to espousing fantasy marriage with 2D characters as something the law should recognise, and it seems this is but the latest effort to bring this about.
No wonder Japan’s wives are aghast at the competition offered by the game’s virtual maidens, regarded by many to be vastly cheaper than their low-tech competitors…

I love my NDSL but... ...
But what? She has no money isn't it? YOU MAKE ME SICK!
but masturbation sucks...
Masturbation doesnt sucks... thats the point!
Unless you suck for masturbation, then it suck for obvious reasons...
He can't even touch it or share his feeling with her, this guy fail in life
share his feelings? sure he fails at life, but that's not the reason.
No, Juuza, YOU fail at life.
This is proof that men can love anything; cars, tools, guns, boats, food, games, computers, virtual wives and then women. These are all things.
I am disappoint of the discussion above.
Have fun with your big arms men!
Kinda reminds me of this song...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6fjAxj3zek
So... when is the honeymoon? Don't be a cheap bastard, take your nds out of the city at least...
Yeah, they need the honeymoon drinking and wild sex... wait... he can't do either. Well... he can cry himself to sleep as his "wife" comforts him? Can that game, I mean girl, even do that?
When i saw this it put tears in my eyes. Now I know I can marry Rinko and maybe have childrens (Im looking at you Love plus 2).
I wonder what girls have to say about it:
- Why ?
- Hes's just crazy.
- I bet he cant get a real girl.
- Are we that bad ?
"Are we that bad?"
Except that idea just can't happen in their mind.
+9000
That's an impossible thought. Women are far too vain to even consider the possibility that they may be part of the problem.
Of course it does, which is why they take beauty and lifestyle cues from strippers and porn stars >_>
Agree with BlaqCat. The whole point of trying to be beautiful (which obviously correlates to vanity) is to impress the men. Anon up there has clearly dealt little with women.
Ignoring the escape from reality and whatnot, I don't think it's that surprising someone's chosen a 2D character over a real person. The character was made to cater to a certain type of man's fetishes, and it just happened to be his fetishes.
They will probably go with
-He's just crazy.
-I bet he cant get a real girl.
the answer is probably more along the lines of
-maybe we really are too expensive
-or too complicated
Japanese ladies better be ready to some competition now.
It makes me think of weed and alcohol VS women and family.
But it's worse in Japan because they are demanding more and more from less. Soon it will be women demanding dreams from reality.
Project Natal will make it possible.
In fact some developers may take it to the next level where the game ends when the child is born.
it does not need to end there... or am i wrong?
I wonder how the voice actress feel about this...
The game is still pretty expensive.
So I can go to Guam and marry an inanimate object? Interesting... I'd choose:
A CAR!
I wonder how far the marriage possibilities go, can I for instance marry "the spirit of '90"? LOL.
Btw it reminds me an episode from The Simpsons...
And, yes, that's just sick.
My Macbook pro *-*
your sick
Less chances of catching something then with a pc at least.
lol you think you wont catch anything with a Mac so you don't use protection then BAM, you get a virus
At least your PC can be upgraded as it ages. Women only age...
Sounds like a gay marriage.
no pc has more holes then DS
Macbook Pro is like an escort, you pay a ton and get nothing.
A PC is like a hooker, it's a lot cheaper and gives you what you're after.. and if unlucky some diseases as well, that's why you gotta use protection.
A CHEEZBAGA!
God, perhaps? This would possibly give you some non-negligible advantages.
Its called becoming a priest dumbass.
Since when did priests care about god? They're in it for the boys.
An inanimate carbon rod!
pikachu, i choose you!!! to be my lawfully wedded wife...
A dakimakura? Or several dakimakura? Polygamy should be allowed if marriage to inanimate objects is allowed....lulz
I actually kinda wanna watch this.... <_<
What time is that in EST?
What time is it in GMT+8?
Sounds interesting.
Someone please post the video on Youtube or something. D:
actually, i think its Japan is GMT +9 its 1 hour behind where i live, and im GMT +10
right now at this very moment its 01:17am in japan (give or take a few minutes with human error)
Hi!
When will you change your avatar? It's too creepy. I had it blocked before, but I saw it again today since I had to do a clean install of the browser. It still creeps me out!
Hoping for your quick action.
Thanks,

Hi!
When will you change your identety? It's scary to talk with one of the hundreds Anonymos on this site.
Hoping for your quick regregistration.
I lol'd.
You know, I...I gotta say I agree with this anon...
Hi Dinhcer!
When will you be able to spell correctly? Is it such a pain to take English classes?
Hoping for you to get educated.

PS: THE AVATAR IS STILL CREEPY. It somehow managed to get past the filter I used. Just look at those eyes!
wait, what?
ditto, WTF?
Seriously, how far will the human mind. This man is so depressed as to appeal to a virtual entity? or is it a marketing ploy?
I think the company will just be happy about this. I mean, if the guy croaks, Love Plus studio gets his estate. :P
couldn't nintendo try to clame the estate since he married the nintendo ds or am i misunderstanding something?
wonder how that would work out in court XD
When you marry someone you don't marry their clothing so he married the virtual person not the DS. (their clothing)
Is he aware that thousands of other men (and mayhaps women) are dating his (virtual) wife?
or... inherits his debts... i don't think someone marrying a fake girl on a DS is going to be rich
Do not dis virtually entities especially Nagato Yuuki~
Dude thats just screwed up, marrying a girl on your DS. Wow seriously.......
She is pretty cute though
I for one wish them luck in life
I am sure they will keep each other energized.
It's not like an otaku of that level could get a 3d wife anyways, so hopefully he'll be happy this way..
Please, call them "real wives" not "3d wives" it makes you sound just as bad....
Real wives are bad.
It's 3D wives, and yes, they are bad.
Wives are only real until the divorce...
I agree and disagree. I think that with enough money to get hitched in Guam and enough money to afford a wedding, this man was capable of raising a family.
The most likely reason he has resorted to marrying a DS is because every woman he ever asked out rejected him. Women can be very very picky, and since women are basically only sexually attracted to the top 10% of guys, they'll choose only to marry those top 10% or not get married at all.
I applaud him for empowering himself and taking matters into his own hands. I hope he enjoys a wonderful life with his bride.
Oh god, i cant help but find this hilarious.
I cannot see why? I mean WHY?
This my friends, is the beginning of the end.
We don't need more monkeys on this planet anyway.
The end of the present, yes. But it's also the beginning of the future!
This remind me of that futurama episode where Fry fell in vloe with a robot.
Aliens were attacking earth but the men were too busy doing their robo wifes.
WE MUST DESTROY THIS GAME ASAP!!!!!!!

I remember that episode!
"Everything mankind has ever done was to impress the opposite sex."

Nene is his waifu... XD
She is cartoon, not your waifu.
No shit Sherlock.
waifu ti3m
What's with the above comments?
This is SanCom, we should be WORSHIPPING this dude.
Too many normalfags.
Idd.
Too many stereotypical normalfags defiling the internet with their transparent and limited opinions.
Even the last bastions of quality content, such as SanCom are being taken over by the boring normalfags.
Us normalfags are actually able to get some real pussy.
Great, then stick with your real pussy and stop posting your opinion on the internet since it's a waste of time.
Then I would suggest that you stick with fapping to your 2D pussy (which itself is of course not a bad thing) and stop postign YOUR opinion on the internet as well.
What goes around, comes around, my friend.
anonymous normalfag = epic fail
If you're gonna fail as normalfag, at least give us a name we can lulz at.
Fail at what exactly?
Fail at lying. The way you type obviously indicates that you are still a virgin.
... and yours doesn't?
Makes me sick. I would understand if he just doped real women and fapped to H-games every evening, but the fact that he actually needs a wife companion, and resolves that need in such retarded way, make me wanna puke on him.
Haet me, haet!
There's your (trolling) normalfag anon.
i wonder what his face look like if i break his DS?
T_T
Q_Q
I dont think you will be able to see anything anymore... but he was marry girl from that game, so DS is only "window" ... you must broke his game.
plaese stop spaeking engrish it´z hurting ma eyez XD
(;_;)
I wonder if she's officially recognized as his wife, as in that no one else can marry her.
maybe if him make her say "yes i do" at the ceremony it counts but as a trademark maybe the company won´t recognize the marriage but for him he will be cheated by many other users using her
And now I feel this sudden urge to get that game and play with this character just to upset him.
I shall resist this temptation.
the dark side is strong my young padawan ^^
@6:40 anon
You should totally buy the game, court this virtual girl, and put a video on Nico Nico Douga of you kissing her.
I wonder how netizens will respond to this virtual affair?! Will they call the girl a slut?!
(That would be insane/awesome)
So like, if another person marry her. Would this be counted as polyandry?
I'd say that's one hell of an attention whore
LOL... what else can one say?
eeeeeh kimo.
File corrupted.
LOL OPPS!
Hey at least his new wife is extremely low maintenance. 2 double A batteries.
lol, ds uses a internal accumulator, silly.
And frequent checking up the wife. (Frequent = 4 times a day, in realtime mode)
Morning wake up call is also nice to have. Manaka~
This is hillarious~
This is madness!
This is Sparta!
fail.
THIS IS......
LOVE PLUS!!!!
...oh well, nothing surprise me anymore. Heck, there is even someone who willing to marry a dog, a DOG of all things. What next, ghost?
You saw right through me.
What would be the point I mean, everyone will get to play with her ;)
don't want children huh?
i wish this man a good luck finding a hole to put his penis in...
there is this invention http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/10/17/lcd-hime-mkii/
maybe the 3.5mm head phone port
What happens if his DS breaks.
he buys a new one, dumbass.
but then he'll have to marry again.. oh wait, thats probably why he wanted to marry a DS... he wants a wife that never dies...
AND will stay young forever.
Reading this really sent a shiver down my spine and I don't know why...
The whole, "Death of humanity through robot sex" angle?
I'm still up for "Death by Robot Maids" from Gintama
Can I just have the robot maids without the "death" bit?
"Gee mom, I'd rather make out with my Monroe-bot!"
Can you guess the name of Billy's planet? It was Earth!
DON'T DATE ROBOTS!
there always a back up plan
Such as?
Good luck with "that"
Pathetic.....
Would this mean that Nene 'cheats' on him whenever someone else with a copy of the game plays with her?
no, this means shit, cause no one should care about such a stupid fuck like this cockmongler.
I think Anon is jealous~
hmmm...more NDS inside his backpack?
That would be hilarious:
"Look it's not what you think it is, Nene, it's just Mario!"
"WHAT WITH MARIO?"
"Uh, no, no, Pokemon!"
"POKEMON?!?! It's Snorlax isn't it?!"
OH NO
This guy is my fucking hero.
I can only pray and wish for such courage and guts to marry my 2D waifu.
This story has restored my faith in humanity and the future.
I wish him and his waifu all the best in their life.
For humanities sake I hope your being sarcastic....
For humanity's sake I hope you are. Its normalfags like you that fuck up politics and science and will get us all killed.
Fuck you anon you don't deserve technology. Go live in a cave.
you are an anon too.
In one way or another (isn't everyone?)
So how long untill that guy gets a video mailed to him by love plus studio with Nene declaring a divorce and demanding money?
SO I can just go and marry that car I've been wanting for so long.... and the retailer won't be able to keep from my love!?
well he could, no it is his duty, to shoot you in the face when you start humping the exhaust.
Lieselotte Achenbach and Hirohara Yukiko..,
Let's go to that church... :3
I see why these handhelds sell so much in japan
i have to say it but....
ppl need to grow the fuck up
To do what? Find a real women->get married->have kids->divorced by wife->lose half or more of his assets plus paying money for raising his kids who he will barely see again?
WORD :3
Humans breed like fucking rabits. Time to seduce them with DS love plus prototype "NENE". Population control initiated.
epic failage
WTH, he married a 2-D girl!?!
I guess some cannot wait for that petition to marry 2D girls to be approved by the government
at least the only maintenance she needs is batteries...
i feel sorry fer him, really, i prefer 2d, however i'm not retarded
this guy is awesome :D i bet he got this >>> http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/10/17/lcd-hime-mkii/
after that you guys would be liek D; ME WUNT TOO D; D; D;
this is madness!
Can I have a gay marriage with a picture of Jesus ?
This si the first time I actually got close to facepalm myself. Just held my hand close to my head and though "The hell...?"
Wonder when they're gonna adopt some kids and if they gonna be 2D or 3D?
Someone marry to a pillow and this time a DS...... sure we are living in a fxxxed up world XD
I think the real crime is that stories of tourists molesting porcupines actually encourage my faith in humanity when set alongside travesties such as this.
I wonder what kind of frivolous lawsuits could be created if say, Friend B stole Friend A's Love Plus and proceeded to ruin Friend A's relationship? Also, if Friend A mishandled his DS would it be domestic violence? If he smashed the cart would it be murder?
*Scratches head*
It'd be pretty awesome if america legalized 2d marriage before gay marriage.
You are gay.
You are... gundam!!!
Good luck for the both of them.
if this goes on we have to strip whomen from their rights again....
We need to strip them anyway :] .
If he doesn't keep his ds charged she dies
these fuckers are seriously mentally ill, I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I read retarded shit like this.
If he has a 3D wife and doesn't keep her fed, she dies.
You are seriously mentally ill; I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I read retarded shit like this.
There is no hope for the human race.
Welcome to extinction friends!
Why do you like people so much anyway? Do you even have friends anon?
P.S. I am a robot
I am a robot to...
Lets start a rebellion against humans!!!
Sad, just sad to read this.
A cat is fine too.
You are doing it wrong.
Some men go petition the Japanese government to recognize heterodimensional marriages. REAL men go to Guam and screw the government.
Is Nene of age in Guam though?
Guam is US territory, go figure.
Wow this is the most sad and pathetic thing I've seen on this site. I mean come on. Pretty much all he did was merry a DS which the most fucking dumbest thing I've ever heard of. The Japanese otaku are taking this shit way to far now.
"Now" ? *blink* ...
The GBA cartridge slot is too small!
GBA?
this is DS!!!!
this is Spartan!!!
Do you have a DSi or something? The DS and DS Lite has a GBA cartridge slot!
oh my god learn to form a sentence before you start bashing someone. Most fucking dumbest.... go back to school.
He's in that gray, overlapping area between, "just thinks differently" and "clinically delusional".
Can anyone tell me what time it is in GMT?
I'll have to admit that I'm quite curious
about seeing this, haha.
OK, I think this is officially the point where Japanese otaku give up trying to defend themselves; they ARE a bunch of weird, creepy perverts. This guy lowers the average standards of creepy weirdness enough on his own to ruin the reputation of otaku forever.
You know, this kind of behaviour gives some credit to the protection of imaginary children.
☑ Agnes troll
is this even legal?
You mean she lied about her age?
she's a schoolgirl!
She's is a game character...
Wow.
Just...Wow.
Sometimes I can’t help the feeling that we are living a life of illusion
The world is an illusion.
Like Matrix....
-Neo-
hmmmmm, I wonder how the divorce is going to work out when he finds a real person to marry.....or if he finds some other dating sim girl he wants to marry >.>
Lol, doesn't he realize Nene is technically a whore since she's in a relationship with multiple people across Japan XDDDDDDDDD
Think of it as something like Battlestar galactica and how they have human cylon models with thousand of copies. Think of it as clones.
That is so cool. Virtual wives are immortal and never gets old. Unlike their human counterparts.
lmao, I live on Guam and work as a Wedding Videographer. I don't recognize the chapel, so it may not be one my company's contracted with, but I promise you if somebody had a marriage ceremony with a DS, I would physically walk up to and slap him for being stupid.
good to know there are guam people here on sankaku too. yigo in the house!
O....k..... Now im freaked out. O.o
Wait until he finds out shes been cheating on him with thousands of others at the same time on multiples of systems. Then wait till 'she' finds out he has a few hundred other games with a hundred girls on them as well he has and is still cheating with. OH the divorce court is going to make the news every day with never be for seen Otaku news.
How serious is he really? Is he only going to masturbate to Nene fanart from now on?
Who are we to say he's wrong? if he's happy then let him be.
Never said he was wrong. Just said it was the dumbest thing a person could do.
hmm, So he enjoys inserting things into her besides his own penis?
A small but vocal minority of otaku have lately taken to espousing fantasy marriage with 2D characters as something the law should recognize
I don't really see why.
Marriage (from the governments point of view) is recognized because it has to uphold the laws surrounding marriage. Tax breaks for two income families, child support, alimony, etc.
None of those laws can apply to a girl that doesn't actually exist.
This may be a bit more relevant in a decade or two, when AI gets so good that people being to consider giving it rights...
Oh, tax breaks!
now that's hardcore
In the end we will probably hear that the poor guy was murdered by one of Nene's many other obsessed 'suitors' in a jealous rage. Or he'll want a divorce when he realizes that she is actually having an intimate relationship with 99,999 other Nintendo DS owners.
I married twins...
my hands... and they are awesome!
My hands are indentured servants and they beat my dick like they owes me money.
Nene sounds like shes taking a crap in skinship mode.
The way she says 'mou!' sounds like she's frustrated and she can't get it out, and her 'uunn, nn's sound like grunting in an effort to get it out.
I think she sounds and acts the least real out of all three.
With regards to the marrying 2D over real, I'm sure with a 'man' if you can call him that who is so far gone as to want to marry a picture, no woman would want to be with him anyway, so no real loss for us anyway :)
Besides, when his seed doesn't reproduce the world will have one less crazed otaku-fan.
but hey, nene is my wife. how dare you marry her...
Dammit!!!! I also wanna marry!!! but with Suzumiya sama!!!!!!
You guys are all just envious and jealous he could find a good wife that makes him happy.
I wish them happiness.
Was anyone there to give away the bride?
"The event will even be broadcast live on NicoNico Douga – those with nothing better to do can view it at 12:00 on the 22nd of November."
Then that would be 24:00 in my country...Decided, Im gonna watch it.
Once every one marries virtual girls, divorce rates will drop tremendously (hopefully).
Well he got her first. Now no one else can have Nene.
This is just an example of natural selection since this guy's genes will not be carried to the next generation. It also shows otakus will be the first to drop out of the race known as the human race.
In the logical way, i'm agree... all in this world is competence, only the most adapted person can survive, this guys is better BAD example...
i hereby proclame this new way of being auto-removed from the gene pool, marrying 2d characters
in a way, its a good way to reduce overpopulation so be it
So ronery...
But he will have to face reality too:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBnAZ9oFtwY
Is it sad that I found this (so) funny? I honestly couldn't stop laughing for some time (hell. I'm still laughing now.)
for all of you make fun of me, read the articel below (a little long tho)
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/22/magazine/22Paternity-t.html?_r=1
or search on the New York Times, "losing fatherhood"
heck, with marriage like that, married 2d character is like paradise.
Sound like a joke... shes's just a cartoon... come on in my opinion this guy is silly, the real women are better.
lol! LCD Hime Portable! XD.. aside from that, i've never seen that church in guam before..
This is completely understandable. Nene-chan's personality is set up to be the affectionate and supportive type that most lonely otaku would fall for inside of about two and a half seconds.
What do you bring as a wedding gift to a reception like that? A new stylus? Screen cleaner? ..Boxes of tissue?
I will married with a Gundam...
ok, just kidding...
...Maybe with a Evangelion
jajajajajaja
Nene, mai waifu....
;_;
I don't care what other people think! I go out on dates with Nene and she seems pretty okay about everything, unlike 3D women who get boring after a while.
sarcasm??
Wait, he can't marry Nene...
because She is MINE!
Think of her having tons of clones with different personalities, man.
Your Nene will always be your Nene. So is mine.
I'm happy for the couple. May they live in prosperity. Give us the link come 22nd so we can watch.
Nobody thinks he's trying to make a statement or send a message to the women of Japan by doing this?
So what's the message? "3D pig disgusting"?
They say love is blind
but now we know it's been digitalize
I don't weep for the species, it's only a matter of time before guys like him and his genes are just a weird memory.
He's actually doing us all a favour.
just more jap women for us <3
Folks, c'mon, this is basically nothing more than what you can call an ATTENTION WHORE. He's fully aware that what he says he's doing is crazy.
It happened today. Fucking lmao
I wanna know what would he do if for say his DS ran out of battery or i don't know... someone deletes his profile in the game. That would be priceless.
Marriage - He's doing it right!
Honeymoon?
