A Japanese man has recently started an online petition to urge the government to legalise marriage with a two-dimensional (i.e. anime and comics) character… more than 2400 netizens have signed the petition so far.
The fella states that he is no longer interested with real three dimensional world, but wants to become an inhabitant of a two-dimensional world. He reckons though, that it’s impossible to achieve his dream with present day technology… thus thinking of the possibility to legalise marriage with a two-dimensional character instead.
He also said that he would like to marry Asahina Mikuru (pic) from popular Japanese anime/manga “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” [via Gaijinheart]

i wonder how its going to even work between him and his “wife”
it’s not like they can communicate with each other, or reproduce…
i don’t really see how their “love” can work.
did that man ever thought of that?
In my opinion, I think this guy should at least find a real-life woman that has Anime-like physical and personality traits. I’m sure that he can find a handful of those kind of women around the world, especially in Japan since most Anime girls look Japanese.
In the USA where I live at, I’ve seen plenty of women that resemble the characteristics of Anime women, both physically and attitude-wise. Think about it: real-life women have the capability of possessing the same hairstyles, hair colors, body shapes and personalities as what Anime women have; the obvious and only exception being those large-shaped and sparkling eyes that Anime women typically have.
Furthermore, you’d be surprised at how magnificent the human brain transforms all kinds of visual objects and sounds that are seen and heard into a self-driven fantasy that a person might desire to bring about; in other words, it is certainly plausible for an individual to be 100% pleasured by his fantasizing that a real-life woman he loves “looks like” an Anime woman, especially if that woman has Anime-like qualities. After all, the brain is the most complex human structure ever studied by psychologists thus far; it would be of bad taste to underplay the vast, mysterious and exotic powers the brain has.

Why are these jerks so judgemental? I, for one, wants to marry Mikuru Asahina. By the way, these otaku-nerds are not new.
An ancient legend called Pygmalion will tell the story.
Pygmalion (represents the Otaku-nerds) is a great sculptor who decided to create a sculpture. He names the sculpture Galatea (represents Mikuru). Pygmalion then slowly develops an otaku-like fetishism to Galatea, which became more and more like true love. He falls to a depression, but the Greek goddess of Love, Aphrodite (here not as a sapient lifeform, but represents Love itself), pitied him and brought Galatea to life. Pygmalion and Galatea lived happily.
Moral: Emotions penetrate even the hardest laws of physics.
I agree with John
i think it is weird but interesting
it would be cool if they were people who look and act like a japanese anime character
and that he could find a woman like that
