The denizens of 2ch’s VIP board have challenged themselves to turn a series of moe and not so moe images into the ASCII art (usually simply called “AA” in Japanese) so beloved of 2ch.
A glimpse into the making of this AA:
Just why 2ch is so fond of AA is an interesting question – possibly the lack of even basic image handling on 2ch promotes its use over the obnoxious Photoshop antics favoured internationally.
That 2ch is apparently eternally stuck with technology and design which would have been antiquated even two decades ago is probably a factor too – it is little wonder so many Japanese prefer to read 2ch in edited form on more modern sites.

This is not ASCII. It uses a lot of characters that aren't part of ASCII.
This is S-JIS or Unicode.
Man tears were shred.

Not sure what that's supposed to be on the right, but it looks like she's shaking the hell out of it.
of course bridget had to be one of the people xD
Yup, spotted the Trap XD
i saw wat u did thar. . .
There are programs that automaticaly convert bitmap pictures into ASCII, and I see little sense in doing that by hand, which the above artists are doing
Most programs don't convert well, and they tend to convert the background, too, which make the AA look ugly.
There's a thread on 2ch where you can just post a pic and request it be made into an AA, or an AA to be edited (like changing the head). Sometimes they can be scarily fast. :P
What happened to detective kun-kun ? :)
I see what you mean, his eyes are messed up and stuff.

Superb.. Simply superb..~
Love how they somewhat turned the last one into a tsundere. Also B-Rabbit Alice <3
Isn't this SJIS not ASCII?
-edit-
Forgot about that. Thanks~
You're right it's Shift-JIS and some of it may be unicode.
True ascii is just characters 0 though 127
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art
As well as some unique extended character sets that were designed for making art on hardware that lacked bit mapped modes such as PETSCII
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PETSCII
Then you have ANSI 0 though 255 8-bit IBM-PC DOS characters with 16 foreground and 8 background colors.
Some fairly impressive character graphics where possible with ANSI.

You can edit your posts so do so!
And whatever the encoding, it is still called ASCII art in Japanese so that we must accept.
It is indeed Shift-JIS and I wanted to be picky too, but you are right, that's nit picking.
Great work and nice post. ~ Thanks too. ~.~
I doubt that this anon is different person =))
I loved making ascii art. Although mine never used fixed sized font characters. It was more challenging that way.
Damn, thats some skill, wonder how much it took to finish one.
yea, mad props to these guys
These guys need to get out more or just really talented.
whoa thats some real hardcore stuff there oO they even got special progs lol
I would have given up after the first 10 characters :(
