For those who don't know what OS-Tan is, its an anime personification of various operating systems as people (mostly girls) that has been quite popular in Japan on the Futaba Channel as sort of a funny mini series the past couple of years.
Operating systems are personified by how they preform, for instance ME is a clumsy idiot girl always causing problems, doing stupid stuff like putting a can of soda in the microwave, or losing her temper with a ! on her chest, 95 always wears a komono, XP has a large chest and so on.

Ya, my sentiments exactly. I only just heard about this series when Animegamer first mentioned it in this topic. I haven't seen any other videos aside from the YouTube links, but there were a few news stories that said it was coming soon. I'm assuming so far it's only available in Japan.
Unless some generous, kind soul out there produces a free fansub.

I think another round of fire bombing on major japanese cities is in order. Knock some sense back into these people.

dude, what you said was realy fucked up. and for fuck sakes get bent vecdran. i'm in no mood to deal with monosalovic retards like you. ya most of the world are dickheads, but you are up there with the top, MynameiscalledDisturbance, you are a dickhead for saying that, thats realy not cool to say that.
P.S. sorry Animegamer, this is a realy chill post, but seriously "I think another round of fire bombing on major japanese cities is in order. Knock some sense back into these people." thats such a fucked up thing to say.
Well, i guess you cant tell a joke from a true heartfelt statment calling for the deaths of thousands. On a thread based on humor and the ridiculous, all satire is cast off. The Internet is serious fucking buisness.

thanks for proveing my point, dumbass.... wait why the fuck are you still talking?

i don't think that you get it, what you said was so messed up. i don't understand how anyone could find something like that funny on any level.
Quote from: Dagoliththanks for proveing my point, dumbass.... wait why the fuck are you still talking?
Funny, I searched the internet for the meaning of the word you magically created, and there isn't a single reference on the entire internet for "monosalovic". Care to put your foot further into your mouth you little shitball?

wait and think, that perhaps i spelt it worng, how about that, shitball. realy creative why don't you punch in monosolavic into google, and see what you get dickweed.... wait, god damit, why are you still talking to me, are you in love with me or something? because i'm not interested, someone tell him i'm not interested.
Quote from: athinghey dagolith why dont you stop being such a stupid faggot
ok i'm sorry for being a dick to everyone, but i just hate it when people are mean to other people for no reason. vecdran all of your posts have been to talk shit about someone, and even though it has nothing to do with me, it's still annoying to see that everywhere, and clam down athing, realy how is saying i'm gay going to do anything, this is the internet, although saying some things are still wrong, calling someone gay isn't realy an insult, yes stupid is an insult but, gay shouldn't be, i might be gay for all you know AND YOUR INSULT WOULD HAVE DONE NOTHING (echoy voice) and sorry animegamer, i kinda ruined your thread.
and just because i didn't use it correctly dosen't mean it's not a word. i'm just saying is all.
Quote from: Dagolithwait and think, that perhaps i spelt it worng, how about that, shitball. realy creative why don't you punch in monosolavic into google, and see what you get dickweed.... wait, god damit, why are you still talking to me, are you in love with me or something? because i'm not interested, someone tell him i'm not interested.
Nope, still not a word. Try again faggot.
Quote from: vecdranNope, still not a word. Try again faggot.
tell that to athing, it is a word i just didn't use it right, why are you still on this, i'm done fighting with you, it gets nither of us anywhere. so just stop talking to me.

exactly, thats why i'm trying to stop this!

That's a pretty impressive figurine Animegamer, having seen that I'm pretty tempted to hold out for the Mac OS-Tans when they're available. I'm taking a wild guess that's one you were able to buy off AnimeNation or some local anime outlet...either way, lucky you. =D
but does anyone know if there are any episodes to the anime? becuase it's looks realy cool
For the moment, I don't think there are any. I did a quick search on keiichianime and YouTube and there's nothing other than the music videos. Most I heard was that it was a "hypothetical" anime that might happen, then again might not. At this point it's probably just a project in the works or something, but it would be cool if they made a couple episodes for kicks at least. XD

ya but i heard that there are some episodes in japan.
Really? If that's the case it's probably just a matter of time before it comes here, although I think the most we'll get here is a free fansub. Not that there's anything wrong with those.
Yeah a series based on OS-Tans would be pretty entertaining
But they might have some issues with microsoft and copyright stuff... im sure they could get around it though. (Name variations!)

what you talk'n bout, fansub's are the best because there done by people who actualy care about what there doing, it's not just a job to them, so they'll do a good job, lots of the time commercial subs don't realy make any sense, because somethings in japanise don't mean the same thing in english (in one i saw, the main love interest was refered to as the main charicter's cousin, that HAS to be a misstake)

ya if they had name variations, then at least we'd know what the realy names are, also i don't think that they'd have any trouble with the copyrights, come on, it's free adversiment.
True, but if you read the comics ME-Tan is always portrayed as an idiot/duface not exactly great for publicity.

, ya but windows ME was awful, but i do understand where your comeing from, awell if it;s a fan sub released onto the net via torrents. so don't realy think microsoft could do anything about it
why should microsoft care about ME when they have XP and a new OS coming out soon anyway?
even though it may bring an overall negative image they will always have the majority market share.

ya and vista (the newist one) is realy cool, my big brother has it, it's one of the unfinished versions, that they release so that people on the web can fix all the bugs, these people, then are paied with a working copy of vista, that they just fixed. it's realy just down to whom ever fixes t first and release's the new copy as a torrrent, then the main producers redownload it, and make any final modifacations that they want. but the only bugs remaining are bugs that have to do with opening and running a number of vary large files, also in order to even use the OS you need a realy good video card, it's the first OS to have a 3D desktop, i can't even explain it, it's just vary cool.

I know fansubs are the very model of awesome. I was trying to make a funny.

ME-Tan happens to be the most popular among the fan community though for that reason. Strange enough as it is.
I don't have any experience with Vista yet, although from the sounds of it they've got a few bugs to work out on that one. Wonder what the Vista OS-Tan will look like.

i'm pretty sure, they had one. mabey i'm just crazy, awell but vista is realy cool, super fast, it just crashes if you open and run REALY big applications at once. but other wise it's realy cool, i'm going to switch it out onto my computer soon. ya side from those bugs, (things i rarely do) it's in perfect working order.
hhh
thanks for that billy, thanks for that
I think the OS tans are cool
