The organisers of the recent Lucky Star Konkatsu dating event are crowing over the fact that “35%” of the otaku participants successfully formed nascent otaples.
Of 40 people, 20 male and 20 female, 7 couples were successfully formed in the event, which took place amidst the terribly romantic setting of the Lucky Star shrine. Reportedly many other participants also went on to drink together after the event as well.
Whilst considered promising by some, the fact that male applicants (who had to pay $100 to enter whilst women got in free) outnumbered female applicants 3:1 does suggest there might be problems if the practice takes off on a larger scale.
With 500 applicants for 40 places it seems likely future events along these lines will not be long in coming in any case.
2ch is of course the acknowledged authority on matters when it comes to being sad and lonely:
There’s a chance hot non-otaku guys were mixed in!
They were probably all just a bunch of normals pretending to be otaku anyway.
There are hot guys who are otaku and cute girls who are fujoshi – that’s the only reason.
If they had no results nobody would go to the next events. The organisers probably did some work behind the scenes to fix things…
I’d like them to tell us what the age breakdown of the participants was. Probably all in their twenties.
We can’t say anything until we see the photos of these couples…
I thought this would fail completely but 35% is pretty good – I hope it works out in future too.
Well, the people going to this were probably all of that age. If you miss this you may be single the rest of your life.
Conclusion: you can’t really be satisfied with 2D.
So much for 2D being better than 3D…

Maybe 2D is just best when shared?
Lucky otakus don't get any virtual HIV.
no~~~! you have to share, discuss or even watch what you don't want! Fuck that mate my anime and eroge are only for me!
Why the yuri pic? Are lesbos even allowed in the event?
Yuri girls are allowed, no exceptions.
Impossible to find pictures of otaku couples not consisting of a man humping a pillow or groping a doll.
"or groping a doll"
- want an art1cle about that :)
That pic just made my day.
2D > 3D all the time!
I dunno about that. I have seem some pretty cute 3D girls.
'course there are "pretty" cute 3D girls. Still, that doesn't change the statement "2D>3D ALL THE TIME!"
"So much for 2D being better than 3D…"
Somehow everytime I read you write something around these lines, it makes me think you are a girl who was dumped by some love-plus-otaku, or just a women who is past her best-before date and jealous of all the love/money 2D waifus get. o.o
...well, not that I would mind if that were true. I guess jealous women are moe in their own way~
It's obviously just for the lulz, but these explanations make it a lot funnier. Keep going.
Artefact is a sentient, distributed A.I. program that formed spontaneously in the depths of the internet. She can be female too of course, but also adopt any arbitrary persona that fits the current need. It would be most appropriate not to assign any gender at all.
it's always about money....always mate....
i'd rather say he was dumped because his income was too low, and he deluded himself into thinking she was just jealous of his 2D waifus.
his posts are an endless fight betweet the truth and delusion that takes place in his mind.
@loli in box
I dunno if you know this already, but the creator of Sankaku Complex is a man. Not trying to be rude. Just sayin'
*squeals like a schoolgirl and saves the OP pic*
Ahem...
It's okay to love a 2D char, and it's okay to love a real person...
As long as you are happy and content with your life, that's all that matters~
It would be even better if you or your partner have the same interests and, hehe, love the same character enough to do some kinky role-playing in the bedroom...

If the OP picture was an accurate reflection of the event, then I'd book my place at the next one right now.
Hey wait, the statistics said nothing about them being couples of DIFFERENT GENDER, did it?
20 women got in.
20 men paid to get in.
Women had huge lesbian orgy.
20 men came out satisfied.

And then a few years down the line, divorce rates reach a sudden peak.
I WONDER WHY NOW.
The only thing I like about this article is the yurilicious pic of Konami (Konata and Kagami).
Konami, I loled. (^.^)
I'll try the Select Button! >83
Nipples are the d-pad, left is A, right is B...I'll leave it up to your imagination where the start button is.
Would the code work?
Seconding that lol.
Select button for a 2 player game!
I wonder what happens if you input Konami code...
Proper term would be Kona-Kaga.. but Konami for teh lulz~~~ XD
@Anon 02:48
lol reminded me of Riko of Kiss-x-sis~ "Ue ue shita shita hidari migi hidari migi A B A B" XD
So the 7 pairs are yuris?
;P
That wouldn´t surprise me.
Me neither.
Yeah, that first pic caught me off guard LOL'ed :p
seconded ^^
Artefact "So much for 2D being better than 3D…"
I want to enable caps lock for this, but I'll hold back.
Do you seriously think that these people ever stated that 2D was better than 3D? No! Most otaku clearly states they want a real girlfriend. Some say they don't mind, and some say they don't want one at all.
Don't go around thinking that everyone is the same. Even if these people think 2D girls are better, perhaps they don't mind having both!
I know what I want, don't see things and assume that I am wrong about my own desires.
Implying you're not a virgin yourself, Aaron.
3D is illegal, which can be a hassle if you don't make extensive preparations in advance.
Otherwise yeah, it's more or less a matter of taste. If you don't have the money/guts to get a sex doll or another toy, you'll have to get 3D for the 'real feeling'.
And then you actually find someone as haruhi, minus the all mighty deus-ex machina powers, and you realize that going to the approach 2D is best is simply HELL in real life, and you get scarred till you actually found a nice normal girl.
But you will never forget Haruhi...series or person.
No...... I made an subjective argument without being able to justify my claim..........
Really I think most people over 16 aren't virgins. Well you do have some late bloomers but for the most part everyone I knew lost it about 16.
i want to chime in here.
id be classified as an otaku, and i don't want a girl, well, normal girl. i take haruhis approach to people, i want someone interesting, not just some woman that hangs on me like a wallet leach. is the perk of sex realy worth all the work you have to put into it? i mean these women want a man who is devoted to something and will do everything they can to change them to be that devoted to them.
if i found an abnormal girl, as in attractive, shares my interest, and is better than me at games, than hell yea i would want here. it would also help if she was smart too. i know in typing i dont come off as smart, but there are few people who i knew who were capable of having an intelligent conversation with me about the fucked up. and yea i love playing with people in real life who are better than me at games, its fun getting my ass kicked in real life sadly, i am the best person around at games where i live.
Bloody virgins lol. You need to put down the controller and go some where and do some flirting. Stop watching so much anime and TV cause most women are not like you just described.
"2ch is of course the acknowledged authority on matters when it comes to being sad and lonely"
ain't that the truth lol
I love Artefact's English!
They just didnt love Lucky Star enough to keep their relationships going!
THE STRONGEST OTAKUS WILL MAKE IT WORK!!
LORD JEESAS, it's a dating service not an arranged marriage.
Marrying someone with the same tastes as you probably is more successful than forced marriages and marriages only based on superficiality of looks alone.
I'd laugh if these otakus form a stronger bond than kneejerk weddings.
Have fun with your right hand, then. :)
If you're ambidextrous, you can have the "twins" work you over. ;)
HAH!
And how many broken up already? i will stick to 2D. 3d world and people outside is not worth it.
2D > 3D isn't an equation you can apply on RL anyway. It just means pictures depicting characters from anime & co (ideal) are superior to pictures of real (unshopped) people. It's a pretty simple truth, but often misunderstood. Mostly by ronery animeotaku. Like in action-movies are fun, but a real gunfights aren't.
Virtual love is somewhat sad, but still better than no love at all. Or so I like to think.
"2ch is of course the acknowledged authority on matters when it comes to being sad and lonely"
I lol'ed hard after reading this.
I still don't like the fact women got in free. How about making things fair and charging a flat price of $50?
Yes, that would be the best. But I think it's because they were afraid that even less girls/women would show up then.
Still bothers me a bit, too, since it's really unfair. However, I hope at least some of those guys got some nice girlfriends and won't regret it that much.
15% of those 35% were just guys hooking up to geek over Lucky Star together.
It's not really surprising that some couples formed considering this was after all a dating event, even if it was otaku-themed.
What I'd really like to know is how long the couples last...
men pay $100 women free
this is pretty much a warrant that whoever entered that event it means they believe : men would pay for women.
But don´t we do it ALL the time. I one way or another.
"They were probably all just a bunch of normals pretending to be otaku anyway."
lol this.
let's hope 6 of those couples were lesbians
It would appear that all those devout to 2D really were really using 2D for a vice, but I'm sure some otaku know the chemical illusion that causes love hopefully they do..
Kagami. <3 Konata. </3
"So much for 2D being better than 3D…"
So 20 guys wanted a girlfriend? I guess ALL other guys in this world all must agree, because everyone is the same, right?
Even if you think 2d is better than 3d, you can still have a 3d girlfriend.
If you like big tits, but end up with a regular woman, were you then wrong?
I've had girlfriends before, but it didn't work out. Before, during, and after those periods, I still liked 2d better. I guess even if I like computers, I still want candy, huh?
And believe me, there are people out there who does NOT want a real girlfriend, but loves 2d girls.
It's not as if people say they want 2d just because they don't have 3d, so they feel better about themselves. NO.
Artefact, you seem jealous! As if you want to think that otaku want the female you more than their anime.
> So much for 2D being better than 3D…
This comment is rationally impaired. There is a difference between preffering 2D and swearing off 3D completelly.
It's like saying I'd rather fuck Megan Fox than your sister... I'm still shagging your sister.
A fujoshi is fine too but most 3d women are disgusting anyway.
Yeah, I bet you're a real beauty contestant yourself pal...
But he probably admits that he is ugly too so that's why he chose 2D. You don't need to care how you look in front of your waifu and she won't be ugly in his opinion anyway.
A chubby Asian Fujoshi Otaku?
I'd be gay for her...
It's okay, no woman likes a pedophile like you anyway.
I´m not that sure.
Indeed. There are so many statistical oddities in this world; finding a woman that found DFC attractive shouldn't be that difficult.
As an estimation, .01% to around 50% of women could be attracted to DFC. That being said, 00:39 has probably had difficulties 'getting' or approaching women, so I understand why he would find it hard to believe a sankakuan like DFC could get a woman easily. In psychological terms, he's projecting his own self-identified 'negative' traits to others that belong in the 'same group'. It's almost funny how machine-like humans can be... but I digress.
I can say for sure that some women at least don't really mind pedophiles. It's just that when they get older, they do get concerned that they might not be attractive any more. Especially once they start school.
35% are traitors...
*stares at the Kagamin-Kona pic*
... ('///')
...
... Huh? Wha-? Oh, the 35%.
Lol.
The girls are probably the ones who asked the anime freaks out.
Doesn't it look really bad if you had thirty guys to choose from, but you ended up walking out single anyway?
Even Otaku with the strongest power level can fall victim to 3D...Melonpan we'll miss you!
Chances of success look far better when you're an otaku on a train, saving an attractive woman from a drunkard. *thumbs up*
the question is...how many of those women were not traps
I'm happy for them. Hope it works out.
75% is still a large number ho.
I meant 65%...
Damnit, OP pic is too distracting..
I bet it could've been higher if they'd dial back the otakuness. Even I'm an otaku and I can't stand being around other otaku for very long.
I mean this is actually kind of true. "Otaku" or in general Anime/Manga/Vocaloid fans who feel socially out of place likely have their attitude and behavior to blame more than their interests.
If you want to be more accepted be society (I said "if") just take a look at yourself and adjust your anti-social behaviors if you have them: dress nice, be polite and friendly, be willing to seek out and interact in a variety of settings, stay informed, ect, ect. No one is asking any of us (well screw the moral guardians) to change our interests. No need for loving otaku-stuff to interfere with living a wholesome life in all spheres of society.
I wonder will this happens in other place....or not
Videos or it never happened.
The participation fee for the male are used for hiring female participants . . . much like hire a crowd service but with . . . *shot*
This is sad, finding a partner doesn't mean they'll be faithful . . . and the bad end would come faster if the above was true.
Sweet sign me up lulz
Photos...
Hikikomoris don't ever go out. I don't think they would for this kind of event either.
And obviously, there are other camps in otaku-dom besides the '2D>3D'. Some of them might just treat things differently.
I really know a guy who said, "You can't replace real pussy. What do you do?
Fuck a real pussy while imagining she's your 2D bitch. End of story."
ofc 2d > 3d
Everybody wants 2d... but in the end settles for 3d...
^_^
I bet in about 30 years or so, when every guy can have his android dreambabe be custom built and configured and have a real conversation with her and hang out with her (between all the wild fucking that is), 3d will finally die...
Realistic sex bots would be awesome but I foresee the Futurama outcome prevailing. People, especially young males, would stay inside having sex all day all the time. I know I would probably die from having none-stop sex....
After I read it the second time it is even more depressing . . . just how twisted are most of those women who entered this event?
