CHAOS;HEAD ep. 3
There is substance in 2-D
Question: how many of you would like to marry a 2D character? No doubt plenty of otaku would want to have the hottest anime babe as their waifu, but Taichi Takashita has stepped it up a notch and wants the Japanese government to allow legal marriage to two-dimensional characters. According to Yahoo! News, the man has gathered 1000+ signatures for his online petition. I commend Takashita for his bold yet unorthodox move. If he does get one million signers, I wonder what will happen. Seeing as how even the Prime Minister of Japan loves manga, it’d be really interesting to see if this goes anywhere. For now, it looks like the otas have to stick with their precious dakimakura. Along with him, true-believers have expressed their beliefs for 2D substance with their testimonies. This one somehow sounded a little like Haruhi’s famous self-intro speech:
“I am no longer interested in three dimensions. I would even like to become a resident of the two-dimensional world.”
“However, that seems impossible with present-day technology. Therefore, at the very least, would it be possible to legally authorize marriage with a two-dimensional character?”
Sankaku Complex translated one of the other comments as well:
5 comments“I’ve been married to Arcueid of Tsukihime for five years now. I’ve no doubt that I want to spend the rest of my life with her. As someone who lives in two dimensions, I’d very much like to support this measure!”
