Congratulations!

Congratulations to Alafista for winning the RIUVA Anime (de)Motivational Poster contest as well as to DarkMirage and Tsubaki for coming in second and third respectively. My vote went to mt-i's entry. I hasten to add, before he posted his comment indicating that he had voted for my entry; simply loved the incongruity between the words and headline image.

Kudoes to tjhan for organizing this community-building event - I enjoyed so many of the other entries. In line with positive warmth, the headline image for this post is motivational rather than my usual sardonic / demotivational ones. Aside from the Belinda Carlisle reference, non-watchers of 2005's best harem series SHUFFLE! might fairly ask what is the Shinkai? Literally the "world of gods" or less literally as "Heaven" and where a male to have more than one wife - the Shin King Eustoma himself has three. Though sometimes I wonder to myself if Kareha is just going after Rin so that she can be with Asa. :P

  1. It’s a waste you were in the top 5! You started this after all.

  2. OOoooh Heaven is a place on earth! Were you referring to this song?

  3. Oh that’s because his name is Zyl. Being the last option sucks.

  4. Y’know… ever since watching “Shuffle!,” I’ve been thinking a lot about polygamy. Considering that women outnumber men and… I can’t be kind about this… there are some men who just plain aren’t suitable marrying material, I say that we send monogamy into obscurity along with the Betamax.

    ARE YOU WITH ME?!?

  5. A real shame you only got 3%, still since no one won a majority you could form a winner coalition the claim that prize, you do live a parliamentary democracy yes?

    Polygamy is a place on earth… until the first knife in the dark or after the love is gone. Discounting wishful thinking and over inflated egoes the trick is not the legality of it, but how many women will be willing to line up, more over how many women will line up for you? Certain men including me not being proper marriage material is not the problem, rather its more of an issue of violent conflict. Still if numerous progeny is what you want for a legacy more power to you, I’d rather mine be a legacy scrawled upon the the pages of history in the blood of the dishonored.

    Still if it were in my power to include Mr. Zyl in the motivational poster contract I would , but such is fate.

  6. Down with polygamy. Up with harem.
    Ok, I guess both are linked to sacks, but harem just sounds better.

  7. Tsubaki, thanks but I was also originally inspired by that brilliant “Nagato: It’s just a flesh wound!” poster. Anyone knows who did that?

    tjhan, yeah! Only ever hear it at mambo or class95 (haven’t been to the former nor listened to the latter for ages though!)

    Actually my original tagline for the Polygamy poster was “Actually she’s hot for your girlfriend, not you” but it wasn’t gender neutral (plus there’s the whole contextual mess about her saying the “Shinkai allows polygamy” line to Asa rather than Rin) so I decided to play on the Shinkai/Heaven thang instead.

    And in contrast to this cap (from KnKF), other sub groups like AU or Froth-Bite might have used the word “Heaven” rather than “Shinkai”.

  8. wow, this competition was so good. It’s a pity i totally forget about it, but my graphics ability stink anyway.

    *was laughing his head off while reading tj’s entry on those posters.

  9. what game is MT-i’s submission based on?

    Just curious, what program did u all use to make that? Photoshop? :P
