rule 54!11:05 AM

rule 54 proves itself to be true once again. You shouldn't be surprised that something like
this exists.
you should be surprised just how popular it really is. just google kyonko and you will find a WEALTH of related images and material.
there is also this
video which they showcase some final designs. some of them are done quite well. some are disturbing (ryoko and the very last image)
my personal thoughts? kyonko is done perfectly, they really managed to capture the spirit of kyon and his personality in a female form (lol kyon's love of ponytails?). yet at the same time she doesn't look like kyon in a dress.
haruki on the other hand... shudder. I mean he's just kyon with a hairband! Since haruhi was supposed to be an eccentric beauty, I expected haruki to not look so plain looking and that hairband is so ghey. Myt guess is haruki (in essence) is supposed to be this eccentric sporty/ all-rounded honour student who is at least attractive to girls? I realise that it sounds wrong that I'm complaining that a guy character is not good-looking enough but i mean the male version of haruhi should at least do the female one justice right? and not be just some plain energetic guy with a gay hairband.
[edit]
ahhh
this seems more like it. headphones! genius!
the other main charcters are also done quite well. itsuko reflects the spirit of itsuki rather well. plus his slight gayness has now turned into full out lesbianism? lol?
yuki is done very well... then again he/she was easy to translate. no complaints. exactly like how i imagined it.
mitsuuru is... a surprise. I didn't expect him to look like this. but the more i think of it the more he seems to fit the feel of the story. so yeah mitsuuru may just be mikuru without breasts but he works surprisingly well as the token "effeminate guy who looks more like a girl than even the girls"
[edit]
omg i take that back! he is just WRONG WRONG i tell you! He is a girl!
the other supporting characters in the video (except ryoko and kyon's fren} are ok i guess.

Why is there a picture of some boats here? It's because I'm too lazy to link another picture. First I'd have to find a pic which is the right size,
then I have to upload it. Then I have to hope the pic stays there and doesn't get deleted from the image hosting website. Bah leave it as a boat. I'm too lazy to change it.
