Wow thats just sad.

Well that is an interesting point. If gays are allowed the right to marry then shouldn't the comic/manga otakus be allowed their happiness in a union with their two-dimensional life partner. The Bible even states that marriage is between a man and a woman, there is no specifications of the woman or man's dimesions. Do characters not have a soul and a personality? If I believe that Emma Frost understands me and is there for me mentally, physically and emotionally then is it not only right that I return those feelings to my queen. Like Air Bud, "Ain't no rules that the dog can't play!" So there ain't no rules that my wife must be three dimensional.

Now the only thing I must hope for is that 3-way with Kenshiro.

Well I wouldn't know. Hell how would one introduce his "wife" to the family?

"Mother, this Sailor Mars and we're getting married."

I guess that depends on how you define marriage, and the implications of it. Not sure what the exact situation in the US is, though I believe married couples can file joint tax returns (correct me if i'm wrong), but in Australia the tax system is quite favourable for married couples with children, compared to singles without children- there are a number of Family Tax Benefits etc. In my opinion couples who clearly aren't going to have children- whether they be gay or 2-dimensional- should not receive these same tax breaks etc, as the purpose of these is to make it financially easier to have children.
If however they just want some way of demonstrating their feelings and commitment in a formalised way, sure, go for it.

...Is a serious discussion really starting to form?

I did not foresee such an outcome occurring.

Wow, that's amazing.

The closest he'll ever get to marrying a fictional character is if he dresses up a mannequin.

Me either. All of my posts weren't serious but it seems to be taken that way.

Unless scientists can develop a machine that can transport you into different dimensions, then yeah you can marry an anime woman.

Does anyone else think it's odd that "Journalists Drunken Rant" has a more prominent link than "20 die in nuclear sub accident" down the bottom of that story?

That person shud be taken to the mental institution immediately.

This is beyond retarded. I knew nerds were desperate, but I didn't know that they were this desperate.

You are now all going to go to youtube and listen to the Sailor Moon theme song.

Maybe if most Japanese women didn't move to America and dated white men then maybe this situation wouldn't have happened.

The funniest/most stupid part was all that talk of wanting to live in a 2 dimensional world. lol a million times

I have few points...

1. God never taught us to love a fictional characters from a story. it's about human with human. not human with fictional human. this is a real life. not a 2D world. please understand... this is not right.

2. they just don't understand what is the meaning of marriage yet.

3. imagine if one anime girl (example : Honoka Sawatari) was married by 100000 mens. and those 100000 mens claims that Honoka is his wife. unless they agree that one anime girl can be married by more than 1 man, there will be a riot.

WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT I SAY

This can't be real. I know some people can't be able to make **** like this up but come on now.

Prefer the real thing. They can be cute but the real thing is much better.

Please understand that my post was in no way serious hence the 3-way with Kenshiro at the end.

Discuss. seriously, that's F***'D up.....

Things just get weirder and weirder

Marry fictional characters? lol

The perfect way to get rid of all the fangirls has finally arrived. Put them all in a room and tell them whoever wins gets to marry whichever character they are fighting over.

lol what would be the point of it

On another note... If the man divorces the character and does not have a prenub... Does that mean the character gets half?

it's getting complicated...

You can obviously tell that if a marriage such as this happens, over a million people will be marrying Wonder Woman.

yup and
wei will marry emma

That dude should go to a psychiatrist or something. Next thing, people will want to marry videogame characters and I can see Samus in front of that line and Lara Croft behind her lol. But seriously, this should stop before anything gets out of hand.

Wow, that's pitiful, but if he wants to kiss paper for the rest of his life let him. I don't care, but you know there has to be a reason he wants to marry a 2-D anime character besides his disinterest in the "3-D" world. I thought I had issues.

What made him turn on reality anyways? Bad relationships? Maybe he has never been in a serious relationship. The poor man.

I wonder what the writers, producers, and actors think of that?

I swear, if this is gonna be anything like that everquest-playing couple who commited suicide after getting married through the game...

I just lost hope in humanity.

Cartoon Characters can't consent.

Discuss. That is one the most depressin' articles I ever read...only in Japan.

To me, it's both wrong and a little desperate and sad

is the human race really becoming this sad. i thought Raoh getting a real life funeral at the launch of Hokuto No Ken Raoh Gaiden was bad enough. this goes to show you how empty our lives are becoming.
at this rate i'll be telling my children: back when i was young, men ran after real pvssy

I't would be the beginning of the END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, I personally greatly enjoy hentai, but do I form a real romantic attachment to a fictional character? No.

Ehh I'm not sure how I feel. Honestly I'm not the type of person who enjoys bursting bubbles or crushing dreams so whatever makes the poor guy happy I say allow him to do it, it's not like he's really hurting anything except maybe his reputation. Heck we're only here for a short amount of time anyway, if thats what will make him happy i say let him have it

Now if scientists somehow create a machine that somehow brought these characters to life, powers in all..I would feel sorry for the man if he cheated on her and she's some sort of planet buster ._. ....

Just when I thought people couldn't get nerdy enough, this happens. Who do you think the sicko will marry? Probably Wonder Woman or maybe one of the chicks from Sailor Moon. This is so stupid. This has got to be a prank from people.

Then let's make official:I will never do anything as asinine as what we're discussing
