Otaku desperate to meet with tsundere seiyuu queen Rie Kugimiya in her first visit to Taiwan are said to have staked their places in the queue a staggering 25 days prior to her actual arrival.
The otaku in question are queuing in anticipation of Her Highness’ January 27th arrival at the 2010 Taipei International Book Fair, having begun on the 3rd in order to be absolutely sure of gaining the all important audience, thought to be a record.
By the 13th 20 people had established a small camp at the site, with the Kugyuu-maniacs joined by other less eager strains of otaku.
Organisers are said to be concerned about disruption to other uses of the space, and police are ready to warn them should the supplicants become a nuisance.
Rie Kugimiya’s presence is believed to be the only cure for a thankfully rare condition known as “Kugimiya-byou,” or “Kugimiya Disease,” also called Kugimiya Virus Hypersensitive Cerebral Corticalitis, known to result in uncontrollable glossolalic utterances, most famously “kugyuuuuuuuuuuu.”

Impressive. I hope they're taking shifts to hold the spot so that they can at least go home to shower.
Wish she'd come to NYC, or anywhere near it as a guest for a con
A true queen
Yes! I just bought tickets to go to Taiwan!
Kugimiya Virus Hypersensitive ... Clitoris
Thanks for ur concerns people but these otakus are safe from the 10 degrees tempreture. They have their character pillows and sheets to keep them comfy during this time.
Lol i wish i could go.
Do not want. D:
Is it wrong of me to think it would be funny if she canceled at the last minute after these guys waited all that time?
alright, she better do two things
1. announce a fourth season of zero no tsukaima (they CANNOT end the anime like that!)
2. come down to australia, WE HAS KOALAS!!
GOD DAMN IT I WAS IN TAIWAN..
I COULD"VE STAYED LONGER TO, HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS
FUCK ME
And all the answer to those cries of "come here, come there" will be...
URUSAI URUSAI URUSAI
nipan!!!!!
Control + .....
Can't..
hit..
W..
So...
Addictive.
Camping for 25 days to meet her and I thought people who camped out over night for tickets for a rock concert or the latest game console where nuts.
wait bandai build a 1/1 scale red zaku and YOU will be there camping for a year, but without the zaku, you will feel the time passes slower by 3 times = 3 years. sad to be char eh
i thought jap otaku is crazy but chinese otaku is just as crazy XD. i personally will not be bother to vist her even if she hold a concert or something in my neighborhood, and watch anime at home.
awww, i would LOVE to meet Rie Kugimiya!
That video... It's radioactive, it's giving me the cancer!
Can't.... stop.... that video... It's subliminally telling me to keep on listening to it..
That "Kono hentai baka hentai" was Iori's line actually, btw..

I find that a lot of otaku from other Asian countries a lot cuter than the creepy ones from Japan. The ones from Japan just behave/look like socially ill adjusted lolicon.
Especially the ones from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. A lot are slim, have 3D partners, uni educated, social life and nerdy cute, nothing like the fat, sweaty, moe pandering types you see at comiket.
(Yes, I have met enough otaku from different countries)
I think you're generalizing a bit there. There's just more pictures of Japanese Otakus than Otakus of other nationalities.
And come on now, you're judging a book by its cover. Japanese otaku look creepy or Taiwanese otaku standing in line a full 20 days before a voice actress' arrival creepy?
I'd say Japanese otaku look creepy.
anon bashing anon
ITT, otaku bashing otaku.
I am not speaking from just looking at pictures. I am speaking from experience.
thats because in japan you can afford to be a hikimori, but in other country like china you did die from starvation.
Erm, the ones in Japan have jobs too but no social life, except on 2chan. How else can they afford the 250 dakimakura, 400 figures or 500 eroge, etc?
i dont know. maybe blessing of the otaku lord? but the fact remain is,is it much harder to afford being a hikimori in china and other than in jap.
Not true. Standard of living is much higher in Japan, but yet, lots are getting paid peanuts (unless you get into a big company as a corporate dog) because of the whole "Japan's economy is dying" thing.
And a true hikikomori doesn't support himself, his ability to survive is because of his family, and that fact doesn't change no matter which country you are in.
And by the way, Chinese are not included in the cute otaku diaspora, so stop using Chinese as an example in this particular topic which is being discussed.
And all those things you bring up doesn't change the fact that most Japanese otaku are creepy and while otaku from aforementioned countries are just a little nerdy.
URUSAI! URUSAI! URSUAI!
BAKA INU!!!!!!!!!!!
^
THIS
Made me come
So this is what it takes to draw those rare creatures out from their natural habitats...
but still it's been chilly the past two weeks so youve got to admire their dedication or rather obsession.
i hope she goes to the philippines~
same here too boy ^Y^
25 days?! How can they afford to waste 25 days without working?
They look like they have a group thing going... I guess they have shifts.
i guess their dads are rich
no guesses
dedication. pure dedication. that must be worth something right?
We can only hope all goes well...
Remember the Malaysia incident?
"The Malaysia Incident", you make it sound like a conspiracy lol! Although it was kinda like a conspiracy, or was it?
which 1? the stalking of aya or the stealing of water bottle. anyway, malaysia fails and i'm a malaysian
Anon speaks the truth, Malaysia is indeed fail an I too am Malaysian.
aye~
Malaysia = fail
Them = Malaysians
Them = Fail
no Indonesian comment in this?
guess we're too tired on Naburo
Aren't you guys are the one's who are failing?
The Taiwanese are much more capable than their Malaysian counterparts at stalking and tracking her down. In before they hack security cameras(plenty in Taipei) to track her down.
The queen has come!
I, for one, welcome my flat chested tsundere overlords.
g2b/r9gay/
i, for one, welcome our anonymous overlords
i waan know when she'd be in england =p
yes, freaking come to England now~!! Why must I fly back to home to see her? XD
Ah Taiwan. Do us proud.
She'll never be there, lolis are banned in england. ^_^
Damn straight.
You must mean, "Damn flat."
I mostly like her as Kagura from Gintama. Instead of tsundere, you get a cute crazy glutton who kicks ass while using a silly Chinese accent.
My other mention would be Mimi from Mnemosyne. Oh my nutbladder.
Kagura, Yeah!
hell yeah! Kagura ftw!
I want Kugimiya Rie to rape me.
No stealing her!
One does NOT steal the Queen of Tsundere.
Her presence brings peace to the minds of us, the mindless slaves in servitude to Her Highness.
I would be humbled to serve Her Highness.
Whisper? I will settle for nothing less than a small tantrum while yelling at me (hopefully, calling me "ばか犬" during the tantrum).
Normally, she would do that if I wanted a small 4ft-sword-wielding-redhead screaming at me, but I've got the series alrdy...
I want the seiyuu now. More of a turn on when whispering if you haven;t tried...
What I wouldn't give to have backstage passes and have her whip me and whisper in my ear,"urusai urusai urusai"...
Yea tell me about it i like ur thinking. Well i would give more than 25 days lol.
Thats why she is tsundere queen.
wow... i think i just splurged in my pants just thinking about that!
「この変態っ ド変態っ 変態大人っ！」
(Kono hentai! Do hentai! Hentai da-ren!!)
IORIII
I wanna see Kugimiya Rie too ;;
I wanna rape Kugimiya too
Fix'd
And here I thought people camping overnight for the Metallica concert was bad enough.
Lucky sobs
How did chinese government let this happen?
Taiwan is NOT part of China...although China tried/is still trying to convince the world otherwise.
being politically correct, Taiwan is a part of China (Republic of China), just a different China that usually one think of (People's Republic of China)
The Republic of China is not "a part" of the PROC; they're just two different entities with similar names. It's an easy error to make though. Sort of like the District of Columbia isn't part of Columbia.
lol this discussion happens everytime there is an article about Taiwan on Sankaku.
In before Palestine and Israel.
Err I should say Korea since this site focus on mostly East Asian thing.
Republic of China =/= People's Republic of China.
ROC is not a part of the PRC.
PRC is not a part of the ROC.
Both of them claim the other as the illegitimate ruler over China (referring to the general geographical area).
Both of them claim themselves to be the legit ruler over all of geographical China, and both carry "China" in their state names.
I'd rather wait for Nana Mizuki :\
But I guess Rie Kugimiya is cool too.
why cant you wait for both? you lack harem...young one.
Ok, somedays the nerds can still shock me.
Not that I would't welcome our pettanko queen, but jesus christ...
Is that a woman I see un the "camp"?
Kugyuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
Hah the Otaku from Taiwan looks smarter than Japanese ones
Kugimiya in Taiwan when I've left Taiwan. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Rie Kugimiya! Coming to Taiwan! And I went to Taiwan for Christmas! And I've returned! FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
that's sad
What about me? Miz~U?
What's the bad thing? I'm not there to enjoy it.
All hail Tsundere Queen ! :3
What about me?
Miz~u...
I didn't make Midna, but I can animate, texture, render, model, photoshop and VA her! ;3
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm6736182 -- related
I have no complaints, i myself would do something like that if Kugyu eventually visits my country..
y'know, these Taiwan Otaku looks much better than their Japanese Otaku..........
Fact. Most Asian countries' otaku are just nerdy or geeky, not obese, creepy lolicon.
not really
we're lolicon alright
just not obese and not creepy
