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.

And to think this all going to burnt by weeks end.
If some of them are at temples instead of shines, they will burn them at the end of the year.
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. :(
Why can I never had drawing skills this good? anyway I love that Tsukasa Hiiragi one up top. (under the Haruhi)
That's not Haruhi, that's Kongou. Do you even battleships?
though i do find kongou similiar to haruhi
There sure are a lot of Kan Colle ones
it's taking after the steps of touhou
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.
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.
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 well drawn ones are sold by artists (like #3 & #9 ,#6 & #10). The amateurish ones are likely by ordinary otaku, still kudos to them.
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.
I like the K-on! ones, I hope 2014 has at least something K-on related in it.
Great tourist spot ! Anyone else ?
eww, why would you want to be surrounded by a herd of dark color wearing zombies?!
Chitose and glasses Homura! That fella has great taste.
Chitose and glasses Homura! That fella has good taste.
Lolotaku, thinking someone gives a shit about their wishes.
All i want for new year is a waifu
i understand that feel bro
i have a few. 2-D's ones though...
I wish that they come up with another idea for an anime than "let's take (insert inanimate objects here) and make them into cute girls!" and that they stop making tie-in card games to every fucking thing in existence.
whoa sugui!!!!
only one I like is the Yaranaika one
Dang, these are really good.
All I need is more Touhou... An anime would be fine too.
Everytime I see that Shimakaze... I feel happy.
Otaku wishes: No more SAO pls.
This is what happens when you eat cake on New Years instead of getting plastered
Vivio anime please
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...
Even time travel seems much more plausible than travelling to a "2D world".
So basically a NerveGear like from SAO but instead a game that lets you enter the 2D world and do anything you want, anything..
Too bad the government's using the same thing as well (Soul Translator).
Basically Log Horizon.
Fuck SAO.
Black Rose owns all your MMO animu waifu
Pfft! .hack//SIGN!!
shit taste
22:55
you're shit, literally
My wish

dafuq?
lmao
How everybody draws anime so well? Are theses all manga artists wishes?
Yeah! I can understand this all :D #irony
Just as much as you understand irony.
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?
