$110 Haruhi Mahjong Game Total Otaku Exploitation

haruhi-chan-no-mahjong-001.jpg

Even hardened Haruhi otaku have been shocked by the announcement of the latest game in the Haruhi franchise – a thrilling PSP mahjong game of “less than doujin quality,” but with a $110 price tag.

Some screenshots from the game tell all that is needed:

“Suzumiya Haruhi-chan no Mahjong” comes in two versions – the DX Pack is an astonishing ¥9429 ($110) but comes with such trinkets as a Nendoroid Puchi Haruhi-chan (a $5 trading style figure), a special box and a DVD. Pre-orders get some mahjong tile stickers.

Meanwhile, the peasant pack comes with nothing and retails for just ¥6279 ($75).

Just whether Haruhi otaku will balk at this abuse remains to be seen – unfortunately, previous evidence seems to suggest not.

    So... Uh... Is Haruhi still a popular character, considering who the seiyuu in question is?

    Otaku being otaku and all...

    I've been waiting for a true Saki Mahjong game. I guess it's too difficult to program for all those godly girl players' abilities? I'd imagine it could be. But it'd be awesome if they have a Mahjong game with the play characteristics of Saki characters.

    I assume how it would work is everyone (I hope the player included) would get "abilities" they could use.

    Otherwise, normal Mahjong just doesn't work like that...

    are psp games typically this expensive (75) in japan or just otaku games? don't we usually get games here for 30 bucks? well the few psp games that we do actually get.
    maybe it cost a ton for aya hirano's voice acting?
    doubtful anyone will be willing to pay for that now, after the advent that haruhi does geezers for kicks.

    It seems imports are usually pretty expensive to begin with, but yeah, Otaku games seem that much more expensive.

    Though Strike Witches 360 game came with a Miyafuji Nendoroid limited edition, it still cost something like $120..

    As long as otaku keep on buying this crap, even more crap will come out in the future. The only way the companies would get the message is when people stop buying their crap anymore because they finally see it as crap.

    It would have been nice if they would have thrown in a life-size official room wallpaper of all the females (including Kyon's imouto) in the show exposing their armpits covered in sweat...

    I would pay to get that, at least...

    Oh come now...What's with the negative..?

    Don't you ever want to see Nagato Yuki or Asakura Ryoko's delishush datapits(tm)..?

    It's a fetish of mine...Some people like tits, boobs, or asses when they see the girls of Haruhi...

    I focus on the armpits~

    What I would give to stuff my face in either Yuki, Ryoko, or even Tsuruya-san's armpits~

    There's even a doujin of Haruhi licking Nagato's armpits:

    Cover and sample page:

    More works by the artist "TTT":

    So the people that gave me a negative, if you can suck and lick a place where a girl pees and takes a dump, you sure as hell can suck and lick a place where she sweats...

    Doesn't the sight of an anime girl's armpits turn you on..?

    Nagato Yuki:

    Boobs, vagoos, and anuses have just become mainstream...

    Haha, I laughed at some people who think licking a girl's armpit is totally gross when they themselves eat out a girls gaping anus and pee hole~

    Pot calling the kettle black...

    So let's respect each others fetishes and just fap...

    Besides, we are attracted to such places because it's dirty and kinky~

    No you have not...There's people who love feet, navels, thighs, ears, fingers, hands...

    Hell, any part of the human body can be turned into a fetish...

    It's a huge world out there outside of the mainstream box that the media has hypnotized us with...

    Me loving the armpits of an anime girl may be strange...But...

    Have you ever heard of people falling in love with furnitures and weapons and even lamp posts..? I even read an article about a lady marrying her cross-bow...

    Trust me...My sh*t is pretty f*cking tamed compared to the other fetishes out there...

    No, you have not...There's people who love feet, navels, thighs, ears, fingers, hands, necks, elbows, knees, shoulders...

    Hell, any part of the human body can be turned into a fetish...

    Like I said...The media has just made boobs, asses, and vagoos mainstream...

    Sort of like hypnotizing us since birth that anything outside of those three are considered weird/disgusting...

    But...

    It's a huge world out there outside of the mainstream box that the media has hypnotized us with...

    Me loving the armpits of an anime girl may be strange...Although...

    Have you ever heard of people falling in love with furniture and weapons and even lamp posts and chairs..? I even read an article about a lady marrying her cross-bow...

    Yeah that's right...They get turned-on by furniture and lamp posts...

    Trust me...My sh*t is pretty f*cking tamed compared to the other fetishes out there...

    There's a healthy amount of people there who love anime girl armpits...

    I can't say the same for people who love furniture and whatnot though...Maybe if we can turn the furniture into an anime girl or something...But anyway...

    Be true to yourself and accept the body-parts that turn you on and do not limit yourself to those three things the media standardized...

    Get turned-on outside the box...And live a more fulfilling sexual life being free to get turned-on to the body-parts/things you love without a care in the world...

    If certain body-parts arouse you...It's not weird...It's being yourself, since all of us have different fetishes (and sub-fetishes) that are either unique or shared by a common few~

    That said, Reimu Hakurei and Hatsune Miku's armpits are on top of my list...

    Yes, except Haruhi is far from dead. The movie just grossed hundreds of millions of yen and has been running for almost seven months now.

    If that kind of those numbers equate to a series being dead then I wonder what would be required for a series to be considered successful.

    the movie wasn't bad, however animation, and i believe the novels are dead.

    and as of right now, this series is on its last legs, only more books at a decent pace can save this but i seriously doubt thats going to happen

    I would fund it if someone turned it into a futa guro doujin...

    With Mikuru as the zombie futa cow-girl getting double-penetrated by Nagato and Ryouko...

    And plenty of armpit exposure from all three...In fact, I want to see both Ryouko and Nagato cream all over each other's armpits...
