Classic PS2 giant monster scaling simulator Shadow of the Colossus has received a C77 doujinshi focused on moefied renderings of the titans of the title.
Same here. Just get an HDTV and wanted to test the graphics with this game, because I thought this game does 720p(turns out it only goes up to 480p). Graphics looks pretty bad when upscaled. But at one point it was the best looking game on PS2, the game design was innovative too. Hopefully there will be more games of this type.
I have played the game(awesome but no game I've played was "brilliant") and I think this is cool. It reminds me of the anthropomorphized versions of the angels from Evangelion.
Because most of what I've seen has been renditions of shows or stuff that wasn't originally moe.
I understand wanting to see a character of a series you liked in a different way, just seems like wanting to turn the Colossus, that were never something that was meant to be cute, cute. And considering it wasn't really done in a patronizing or ironic manner, I find it annoying.
Not exaggerating, but lets just make everything moe, yeah, and rid the Anime communities of the originality that once flourished. meh
@Anon 19:48: It's not precisely the same, "sexyfying" stuff is one thing, but rendering everything in the same aesthetic style is just poor and gets old real fast, which is also part of the reason the whole "anime/ manga bubble" has burst: because creativity and, with it, variety, are getting slaughtered.
SotC is a brilliant game. So what if they make a moe doujin out of it? It's not like the game suddenly became bad; it's a separate entity. It's not like they actually change the colossi into moe; it's only a doujin. It's not like the artist is saying; "SotC should be this way"; it's only a parody.
Moe Gone with the Wind? So what? Ridiculous? Of course, but so is Jesus x Buddha H-doujin. It's rather too late, irrelevant and missing the point to complain about ridiculousness of doujin.
I don't know how you suddenly arrived at the conclusion of dwindling originality just because of parodies; it's been there since the very beginning.
Jeez calm down. Can't you just enjoy the pretty pictures for what they are? If it wasn't labeled moe you'd probably just consider it unusual but well-drawn fanart and be done with it.
Also, the only bastardization I'm seeing here is the use of the term 'moe'. People use it in ways that have little to nothing to do anymore with it's original meaning...
I'm perfectly calm, but you seem to know me oh-so-well(sarcasm in case you don't pick that up). I can't really find them 'pretty pictures' if I think it's belittling that which it's representing. It's not like I wanna kill the guy that did it or make him stop. I just find it odd. Sure, make a moe version of a haruhi character or a vocaloid. Makes sense when you think about the original and it's personality etc etc etc. But a massive earth/stone based creature meant to obliterate all that stood in its way, now has tits?
"if it wasn't labeled moe...etcetc"
I think you meant if I didn't know of SOTC or had it been original I'd have ignored it being odd. But that's not the case, remove Moe from the title, and I can still clearly tell it's from SOTC lol. Now had that been the case and I hadn't played SOTC before, sure I'd ignore it. Anyone that doesn't know of the original source would, just like someone who didn't know Oceans 11 was a remake would think it was a new idea (-.- not bagging on either version of ocean's 11) but that's another debate for another day.
hairless colossi must be a bitch to climb on
Perfect for me since I finally found a copy of Shadow of the Colossus :D
You sure know how to read minds artefact!
I've just finished the game a couple of hours afters years not playing it.It is an awesome game.
That is adorable in so many ways.
Good fapping start to new years eve.
I'd thrust my sword into her weakpoint.
For massive damage.
Of all the games out there, I'd never thought someone would take a look at that masterpiece and create a "moe" version of the titans.
Since this is now technically "Moe of the Colossus", wouldn't that make killing them harder?
Wow it looks awesome!
Artist does some damn good moefication. Time to head to his/her site.
Climbing a giant girl like that... would make a great game.
If they release this as a title - I'd die from the sheer awesomeness.
The game was phuking awesome
The game may be "old" but it's gold and so is THIS.
"Aww~ Kawaii ne~~~" <3
EPIC GAME, EPIC ART, EPIC WIN!
If I were the hero, I would certainly feel dreadfully bad to have to slay them. Ah, screw the damsel! Colossi, here I come~~~! X-D
So no decent sauce on this yet?
+1 for art quality!
Would not mind if this was actual game.

good work...
Who drew this? The 4-panels have a strikingly similar style to the "living with monster girls" comics...
link to the artist's site is in the discription, I agree it looks similar, but I don't think it's the same artist
I KNOW WHO THIS IS
it's the same guy that does that habanero girl.
i thought those eyes look familiar.
I'd scale that
I'd scale that.
There needs to be a Colossus sequel for the PS3 or something. That game was epic.
I love that game.
I love it when they do that and the details on the Colossus-tans looks really nice.
I would love to climb every single one of them.:)
suddenly climbing around the cracks of those Cloussus dosen't sound quite the same does it
Gorgeous artwork
I'm amazed nobody made a "I'd mount that colossus" joke yet. I'm disappointed in you, Sankaku.
I'm sure we were all thinking it inside.
I'll hit my sword against her weak spot!
Same to you anon.
I wish you merry internets and a happy new year.
well thank you, dear anon, i lol´d.
and because of that, i wish you merry internets and a happy new year.
what a coincidence i was just playing this

edit: What hell did you expect, it's a PS2 game .What ps2 game do you know goes 720p!
What hell did you expect, it's a PS2 game
Dammit,that was supposed to be reply. Why did it turn into a comment!
Dammit,that was supposed to be reply,. Why did it turn into a comment!
Must everything, good and bad alike, be made moe?
I suppose we'll see a Gone With The Wind Moe Movie soon enough.
Surely anyone who's played this game and revered in it's brilliance will only think it's being bastardized in the wake of this exhausted moe craze.
you're new to this, aren't you...
Listen, man. The definition of "moe" is basically attractive. Saying "death to attractiveness" is just weird.
I have played the game(awesome but no game I've played was "brilliant") and I think this is cool. It reminds me of the anthropomorphized versions of the angels from Evangelion.
Why not make everything moe? It sells.
Then we cant complete the game since it's too moe to kill...
good point, no one wants to hurt moe girls except if it includes a broken hymen
Because most of what I've seen has been renditions of shows or stuff that wasn't originally moe.
I understand wanting to see a character of a series you liked in a different way, just seems like wanting to turn the Colossus, that were never something that was meant to be cute, cute. And considering it wasn't really done in a patronizing or ironic manner, I find it annoying.
Not exaggerating, but lets just make everything moe, yeah, and rid the Anime communities of the originality that once flourished. meh

But yeah, time to "moefy" CowBe, too...
Uh. So what?
SotC is a brilliant game. So what if they make a moe doujin out of it? It's not like the game suddenly became bad; it's a separate entity. It's not like they actually change the colossi into moe; it's only a doujin. It's not like the artist is saying; "SotC should be this way"; it's only a parody.
Moe Gone with the Wind? So what? Ridiculous? Of course, but so is Jesus x Buddha H-doujin. It's rather too late, irrelevant and missing the point to complain about ridiculousness of doujin.
I don't know how you suddenly arrived at the conclusion of dwindling originality just because of parodies; it's been there since the very beginning.
On another note, the same thing can actually be said of any anime, moe or not, being turned into a H-doujin.
I found it cute and I did love the game.
Jeez calm down. Can't you just enjoy the pretty pictures for what they are? If it wasn't labeled moe you'd probably just consider it unusual but well-drawn fanart and be done with it.
Also, the only bastardization I'm seeing here is the use of the term 'moe'. People use it in ways that have little to nothing to do anymore with it's original meaning...
I'm perfectly calm, but you seem to know me oh-so-well(sarcasm in case you don't pick that up). I can't really find them 'pretty pictures' if I think it's belittling that which it's representing. It's not like I wanna kill the guy that did it or make him stop. I just find it odd. Sure, make a moe version of a haruhi character or a vocaloid. Makes sense when you think about the original and it's personality etc etc etc. But a massive earth/stone based creature meant to obliterate all that stood in its way, now has tits?

you clicked on it, if you don't like it, avoide any thing with the word moe in the title. Simple.
agrees with Sitheris
