Anime

Ievan Dansen

Via Steven and a quick Google, a post entirely stolen from Accidental Anime.



I only discovered Vocaloid myself today.  Pure coincidence.  The advances in music composition software since I put together my stuff back in '02 have been amazing.

And the mandatory Don't Mix The Memes item from the title:



Yup, that's a computer singing a Finnish folk song in a Japanese accent.

I wondered for a minute why Miku was waving two forks about in the first clip, then shrugged and went with the flow.  It wasn't 'til after I'd posted the entry and watched it a third time that I twigged.  Meme swarm!

I think part of the reason why Hatsune Miku has become such a meme is that they aced the character design. I can't tell you why, but they just got everything right, from the green twintails to the tie to the short flouncy skirt.

2 Can't go wrong with green twintails, a tie, and a short flouncy skirt!

3 Well damn...now I've watched it 3 more times...(the parrot luvs it too)

I only found out about this multi-memetic madness in February when I asked for an explanation for it (which Steven and Will were quite forthcoming with...they should do a wiki smile ).
Who are the other characters? Are they Vocaloid/Nendroid "tans" that look like Final Fantasy chibis and whatnot or just Anime/gaming characters?

Hmmm..I think ...
I'll...
... watch it again.
