To honor the new year, multitudes of otaku have made pilgrimages to Shinto shrines for the privilege of scrawling (and in some cases, elegantly sketching) their wishes upon ema, (small wooden votive plaques) with the majority of their divine prayers being anime-centric – as is now classic Japanese tradition.

So... what are some of these folks wishing for?
season 2 of lucky star
For Gen Urobuchi to fix the screw-up known as Rebellion Story's ending.
Too bad Homura's in charge of the world now. She'll just make God forget to grant that wish.
The ending was glorious for two reasons:
1. Urobutchi has done what few people in his line of work CAN do: tell the story THEY want to tell with little to no restrictions. (sure, they left the ending just a tiny bit ambiguous, since he wanted a clear cut and definitive ending, but the people around him told him not to do that in case they *cough* needed another season/movie to get another cash cow going.
Look at Attack on Titan now... shit got popular so the "original ending" which seemed to be hella glorious just based on the context of the interview alone, is probably gone for good... insert shonen-shit-milked-to-all-hell here...
and 2. The ending made sense, sans the first 30 minutes of the movie which pandered to every fan of the show, Gen was basically "Ok, I respect the fandom for the first act... now here's my take on how I want to end the movie... where's your fandom security blanket now!"
Inb4 "Reblog here if the Madoka movie ending ruined your shit."
It sure did mine, and it was an epic 'conclusion' to the series because of it.
Their wish is same as any other previous years, marry their 2D girlfriend.
Good thing they will never ever propagate their kind, being fearful of 3D and such.
No, I hope they do as they are talented artists. Much rather them than scums who yield no skill and can only sit at home playing League of Legends... even then, they suck at it.
Where do you think they came from in the first place?
How everybody draws anime so well? Are theses all manga artists wishes?
to either end censorship or wage war against their government
or to have the techonology to travel from 3D to 2D so they can finally achieve the one thing they been dreaming...
So basically a NerveGear like from SAO but instead a game that lets you enter the 2D world and do anything you want, anything..
Basically Log Horizon.
Fuck SAO.
Pfft! .hack//SIGN!!
Black Rose owns all your MMO animu waifu
shit taste
22:55
you're shit, literally
Too bad the government's using the same thing as well (Soul Translator).
Even time travel seems much more plausible than travelling to a "2D world".
Why can I never had drawing skills this good? anyway I love that Tsukasa Hiiragi one up top. (under the Haruhi)
Well, you just need to draw everyday for 10 years straight and you'll probably be the same level as the one you see above.
Not so much, just draw and have fun.
That's not Haruhi, that's Kongou. Do you even battleships?
There sure are a lot of Kan Colle ones
it's taking after the steps of touhou
though i do find kongou similiar to haruhi
I thought this otaku people cannot draw, just watch the anime and read manga like the rest of us, and to my surprise, they draw pretty well.
With that amount of skill they can make their own manga.
The well drawn ones are sold by artists (like #3 & #9 ,#6 & #10). The amateurish ones are likely by ordinary otaku, still kudos to them.
they did. ever heard of doujin works?
You mean those stories that almost always start up with a lonely guy (probably an avatar of the writer) meeting a girl under the most bizarre circumstances (wet dream fulfilling, I guess) and, almost always, the girl (or both) end up dying a painful, unexplainable death just for the hell of dramatic gore climax...? Yes, I have heard of those.
Oh, and +90% of those become a hentai story out of thin air (also under bizarre circumstances). Beautiful art, that.
The better drawn ones are sold by artists (like #3 & #9, #6 & #10). Those amateurish looking ones are likely done by ordinary otaku, still kudos to them.
Fukushima = The REAL end of this planet.
My wish

lmao
dafuq?
#27 is the best
And to think this all going to burnt by weeks end.
It's like graffti, it is meant to be temporary. (That's why taking pictures is important.)
so we could also pack it away somewhere when we have new pictures. unless, of course, you keep your things tidy but... lol tidy otaku?
Thats the same way I think about child pornography but everyone gets their bunches in a bind whenever people do it. :(
If some of them are at temples instead of shines, they will burn them at the end of the year.
I like the K-on! ones, I hope 2014 has at least something K-on related in it.
thanks for sharing friv game,friv action game
please upvote this comment
Yeah! I can understand this all :D #irony
Just as much as you understand irony.
My wish is to have some quality anime this year.
Your wish can never become true unless you approve those Anime to be quality ones.
Seeing how many anime developers translate "quality" to "generic moe" or "exaggerated mecha" today... you may have a long wait ahead...
Love the yaranaika one.
Vivio anime please
