This may be old news to many of you but ill post this for the benefit of those who haven't heard. Also i know this technicaly belongs in IFIOTW but i feel it is more relevant here.

Anyway, there is a Japanese man (of course ) who wants to marry a manga character. So he made a petition and sent it off to the government. Read about it here: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/081030/oddities/japan_cartoon_marriage_offbeat

To be honest, i wasn't at all surprised someone actually tried to do this.

*slaps forehead*

Dibs on C.C.

My bride awaits.

Me neither. However, I am kind of surprised he can present this petition in earnest. A tiny bit of thought into the whole 'marrying a manga character' generally yields the answer "this is fucked, what am I thinking?!", granted the person has even the most basic critical thinking abilities.

I mean, I get that people can form 'attachments' to fictional characters. I also understand that people are weird, and under certain situations these 'quirks' can be taken to extremes. Still, does he even believe in what he's saying?

IMO there should be a huge, wide chasm between recognizing the scary attachment you're forming to some ink lines printed on paper; and then going about trying to have that 'relationship' legitimized by society and the government. It obviously happens, that people form these attachments, but do they really expect or believe that it should be legitimized by others? It's all in your head, anyways, may as well just keep it all there.

Marrying one's pet almost makes more sense, to me, because at least they're corporeal/non-fictional entities, of some sort...

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!! tax cuts. ROFL!

kallens a crazy bitch, she will fit good with me

They didn't even say what character.

I'm not surprised at all actually.

To Dark Magneto: what anime is that in the pictures you posted??

It's from the first episode third season of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

Pretty funny show. There's the original SZS, then Zoku SZS which is season 2; and Goku SZS which is season 3, which is currently being subbed at a painfully slow rate by [gg].

I'd call on Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess.

Mikuru Asahina is mine.

What... the... fuck... Just when I thought the damn place couldn't get any crazier.

Too bad This (http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/pornoak/freestyle/smp_yuhi03.jpg) one is taken by a wuss. WTF? What did I just say? You can't sex 2-D up! Noooo!!

Really? I thought that was from Season 2 Episode 13 of Shakugan no Shana?

I'd prob go with Revy from black lagoon.

She'll kill you by the 3rd day... :(

Good point, Eda seems like a better choice.

I dunno about marrying, but I'd totally tap some of them.

Dood, if you're going to shoot to marry someone japanese made and beyond your league, I think it should be someone real. I'm still trying to get Miki Fujimoto to respond to my emails.

Maybe she's just shy?

We will be wed by spring! I promise!

Announce the date, and all of Anime will meet you and wish the couple years of happiness!

I don't know. You'd have to compete with a guy who can stretch any part of his body to incredible sizes. You better have one hell of a personality.

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! She would never go for Luffy because he's a shallow man-child.

I on the other hand am smart and have the power of the Yami Yami no Mi, I could give her everything she could possibly desire and more since I'm the best thief in the world. Nothing could be protected enough to stop us from stealing it! We would be the ULTIMATE THIEFS!!!

Or you could push him into some water....

I'd go with Nobue from Strawberry Marshmallow. It's so hard to find a good picture of her, though, but here's one I found:

By the way, she's the older one of legal age, not one of the little girls. That would be, just... wrong.

I'd take Lucy from Elfen Lied. Providing she doesn't kill my family and everyone else in the world. I doubt the horns would be very socially accepted though.

She would still be pretty badass nonetheless.

She would.

She might not. Just remember, don't mention the fucking horns!
