The rapture of the otaku who queued an entire month to meet tsundere seiyuu icon Rie Kugimiya has been picked up by Taiwan’s TV news, with the seiyuu being beset by a throng of infected fans:
The strain of near contact with his idol was too apparently much for one otaku, who actually fainted:
The wait was evidently worth it:
I ‘m a fan of her but I have to ask thisquestion no matter what… WHAT IS SHE DOING THERE??? she can’t speak mandarin neither cantonese, what’s the use comming all the way here?
crazy taiwanese otaku…I feel sorry for my country =.=
I think “Kugimiya fever” sounds more fitting as a translation.
Didn’t they say he fainted ’cause he was pushed and squeezed too much by the crowd?
I think that was a last second attempt at saving some dignity…
FaintGuy: “ZOMG!!! HERE COMES KUGIRIE!! EEEEEEEEEEK!!!1” *faints*
FaintGuy: “Ummm… yeah… I fainted because I was pushed around too much…”
It’s a disease that needs a vaccine quickly. I propose extermination.
