Puella Magi Madoka Magica MAD Anonymous Sat 31/05/2025 8:37:45 PM 1 month ago MER No. 428 +
nico nico douga MADs based around Puella Magi Madoka Magica with a focus on Mami Tomoe and her famous lines:
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/もう何も恐くない
(Video 1) Episode 3, 18:41 -> I'm not scared of anything anymore.
https://wiki.puella-magi.net/Madoka_Magica_Episode_3:_I%27m_Not_Afraid_of_Anything_Anymore
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/死ぬしかないじゃないシリーズ
(Video 2) Episode 10, 14:22 -> If the Soul Gems give birth to witches... then we have no choice but to die!
https://wiki.puella-magi.net/Madoka_Magica_Episode_10:_I_Won%27t_Rely_On_Anyone_Anymore#Timeline_3

Both of these were extensively parodied:
The 1st one because of how Mami's emotional relief is surrounded by red flags moments before that foreshadow her death where the MADs usually try to play around to the buildup of that scene.
The 2nd one because of how each character in the scene kind of plays a unique and essential role in the videos: Mami being the emotional instigator that starts the video with her sudden breakdown. Kyoko being shot and killed right at the start, and in some videos this happens multiple times with her dying helplessly over and over. Homura is usually restrained for the entire time, but plays a role as a kind of chorus or interjection character. Madoka on the other hand waiting behind Mami for the right moment to deliver the finishing shot, acting as the executioner.

Also, another line you're going to frequently hear is Mami's "Tiro Finale" which means "Final Shot" in Italian, and due to her being the only character in the anime to name her special move people began calling her 中二病 -> Chuunibyou -> middle-school second-year syndrome.

Tsundere! Kugimiya Disease. CAT Fri 25/04/2025 11:56:49 AM 2 months ago MER No. 360 +
You may discuss anything tsundere related in this thread, but the main focus is on Kugimiya Disease, the term for the obsession with tsundere characters voiced by Rie Kugimiya (釘宮理恵).

Q. What is Kugimiya Disease?
A. It’s an ailment in which you become so captivated by the voice actress Rie Kugimiya that you can’t get anything else done -> (Hyper-Sensitive Cerebral Cortex Inflammation Caused by the Kugimiya Virus.)

The three most common infection routes are the: S-Strain, L-Strain, N-Strain
Other confirmed variants include the T-Strain, Y-Strain, I-Strain, and more. Among girls, an A-Strain outbreak is also possible.

If you’re not sure which letter stands for what here's a list of the Kugimiya Disease Strains:
R -> Rizel https://myanimelist.net/character/5255/Rizel_Iwaki
S -> Shana https://myanimelist.net/character/1426/Shana
L -> Louise https://myanimelist.net/character/136/Louise_Fran%C3%A7oise_Le_Blanc_de_La_Valli%C3%A8re
N -> Nagi https://myanimelist.net/character/2078/Nagi_Sanzenin
T -> Taiga https://myanimelist.net/character/12064/Taiga_Aisaka
Y -> Yuuki Kataoka https://myanimelist.net/character/17276/Yuuki_Kataoka
A -> Alphonse https://myanimelist.net/character/12/Alphonse_Elric
I -> Iori Minase https://project-imas.wiki/Iori_Minase
K -> Kagura https://myanimelist.net/character/674/Kagura ← often used as a vaccine
NT -> Nena Trinity https://myanimelist.net/character/8063/Nena_Trinity
RZ -> Rose https://myanimelist.net/character/35736/Rose/featured
AR -> Astarotte https://myanimelist.net/character/27972/Astarotte_Ygvar
HA -> Aria H. Kanzaki https://myanimelist.net/character/30046/Aria_Holmes_Kanzaki
RS -> Rise Kujikawa https://myanimelist.net/character/16251/Rise_Kujikawa
HK -> Kurumi Hazuki https://myanimelist.net/character/44559/Kurumi_Hazuki
M -> Marta Lualdi https://aselia.fandom.com/wiki/Marta_Lualdi
MA -> Aguri Madoka https://myanimelist.net/character/87541/Aguri_Madoka
SY -> Yukimura Sanada https://myanimelist.net/character/31993/Yukimura_Sanada
F -> Fenrys https://myanimelist.net/character/199586/Fenrys ← new as of Apr 2024
(Let's try and refer to the character by their strain in this thread.)

Clinical Stages (There are five levels, 1-3 are early symptoms, and once you hit level 5 it’s hopeless.)
Level 1 - You develop a taste for traits like “loli” or “tsundere.” “There are so many!”
Level 2 - You start listening to Kugimiya’s voice more and more.
Level 3 - You can’t fall asleep without hearing her voice.
Level 4 (Middle Stage) - You’re restless unless her voice is playing all the time, or you slip into mental distress. For I-Strain patients, you can no longer tell her apart from Yukari Tamura (https://myanimelist.net/people/27/Yukari_Tamura) Going cold-turkey fails because your brain supplies its own hallucinated “voice in my head.”
Level 5 (Terminal) - You can only scream “Kugyuuuuuu!”

Treatment?
A commonly used vaccine is the K-Strain which is cheap and easy to obtain. It works up to level 3 of the clinical stages but mis-dosing can blast the patient straight up to level 5 so always consult a professional.
There is said to be an M-Strain vaccine that cures all strains. It comes from one of Kugimiya’s very first shows and is called both the “origin” and the “ultimate weapon” -> メンタマル星人 (Mentamaru alien) https://myanimelist.net/anime/4375/Kyoro-chan (She looks like a little girl with a grumpy middle-aged man’s face, but speaks in a cute voice: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19112957 [Play]) Handle with care: the M-Strain can shatter your mental image of her, and in some cases makes the disease worse. So follow the (non-existent) instructions as no one knows the safe limit!

Notes:
The S, L, and N-strains are the most virulent. In particular, the N-Strain exploded thanks to its broadcast in the infamous 34 o-clock TV slot, so its symptoms are mild but patient numbers are huge.
The A-Strain is more common in female fans but it can also awaken certain male sufferers to a fondness for shotacon, so don’t take it lightly.
Gundam Otakus often pick up the NT-Strain.
If you stay near a 女王感染者 (queen carrier -> Someone that is totally consumed by Rie Kugimiya’s voice.) even your stomach may growl くぎゅぅぅぅぅ!

Japanese Anime Sound/MADs CAT Thu 24/04/2025 6:32:08 AM 2 months ago MER No. 181 +
A thread about posting and discussing Anime Sound/MADs.
Feel free to share what you like about a particular Anime MAD or the Anime it's about, also, if you have any referenced parts that might seem mysterious to you use the provided tags/comments on a video to find more about it, or feel free to ask here.
Q. How do I search for Anime MADs on Nico Nico Douga?
A. Refer to the video posted in this thread: >>>/b/1833
Also particularly regarding Anime MADs, many studios have the ability to take down any video containing even a small clip of their anime on Nico Nico Douga, but many of them choose not to do so because they recognize that Anime MADs, from an analytical standpoint, have actually helped them achieve many more sales than they could have otherwise which was especially relevant back then. Of course, there are a few instances like the Anime Rurouni Kenshin (KYM) where Fuji TV will seize any opportunity to remove any type of video featuring their anime, even if it's just a small clip. So, the workaround for that was to collaborate and completely re-animate parts of the series that were frequently used in MAD videos, so Fuji TV couldn't claim it as their property.

Please try to refrain from posting anything created by overseas individuals and any YTPMV Cover-styled MADs; you can usually identify those using tags like 「原曲不使用」 (Original Song Not Used: that recreate the entire BGM with a bunch of fake instrumentally sounding samples).
You do not need to translate a MAD in order to post it here, although I bet it would be greatly appreciated by anyone browsing the thread, and often you can find the lyrics online. If you do decide to do it, here are a few tools you could probably use:
Subtitle Software: https://github.com/Ristellise/AegisubDC or https://github.com/arch1t3cht/Aegisub
Translation: Deepl.com, Rikai-kun(Chrome Extension)/Rikai-tan(Firefox Extension) and ChatGPT.
OCR Software: https://github.com/kha-white/manga-ocr (pip install and then run with powershell or cmd using a command like "./manga_ocr" in conjunction with the capture function found in something like ShareX: https://getsharex.com/)

I spent some time picking out these for the thread:

About that Anime that the Lucky Star video is parodying it is completely unknown to foreigners. It's basically about some alien angel that came to earth to help a unlucky boy who then creates more accidents, and I'm unsure if you can even find any subtitles for the episodes anywhere. The opening song as you might have noticed is hinting at something dirty, and believe it or not it was aired at 6 PM slot on Sunday when kids were watching the show: https://w.atwiki.jp/aniwotawiki/pages/16297.html

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the entire song revolves around the chorus.
Clearly singing about a certain body part, right?
The most important issue is that "Hanasaka Tenshi Tenten-kun" aired on Saturday evenings at 6 o'clock.
As Shonen Jump has many child readers, Shueisha probably took that into account and scheduled the broadcast for the evening. However, the lyrics clearly pick a fight with the PTA.
Originally, this dirty joke-filled song...
originated when Tenten-kun, amidst classmates worrying about the other protagonist Hideyuki, suggested, "Let's sing together to cheer ourselves up."
His classmates immediately retorted, "Can we sing lyrics like these?" which left many readers bursting into laughter. It was a scene that no one would have imagined a few months later becoming the theme song of the anime adaptation.
During the broadcast, the Bla Bla Bla Boozes, who were performing the theme song on a variety show that handled Fuji TV anime, appeared in bizarre attire. (Even Shonen Jump's magazine commented, "Who are these guys?")
When the program's host, Koji Imada, asked, "You were clearly saying 'that,' right?" regarding the lyrics:
"I'm just talking about being stiff," was the reply.
During the chorus, even the female backup singers seem to take a step back from the microphone.
No matter how ambiguously expressed, it sounds nothing but obscene...
Moreover, this program aired during prime time.

Let us post/discuss more older and underrated Vocaloid videos by lesser known artists.
I made this thread in the hopes of getting actual interesting discussion going about the videos that are going to be posted in this thread so please don't just post a bunch of links and then fuck off.
When you post a video please elaborate in any way you can about that video whether it is describing the feeling you get when listening to it, talking about the artist and his other works, or posting any additional interesting details about that video.
Many of these videos do not have a translation so providing additional context to make the viewer understand what it is about would be appreciated,
or if you want you can subtitle the video yourself using a tool like https://github.com/Aegisub/Aegisub and translators like https://www.deepl.com/translator or https://openai.com/blog/whisper/
VIPPALOIDS are also welcome.

Your favorite thread from /pol/ before it was shut down returns. I'm going to be making as many translations as possible and posting the ones from the previous thread in here. You can also contribute by posting what you like found on the 政歴M@D tag on Nico Nico Douga: https://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/政歴M%40D or request a translation to be made. I will mention that not everything is found on the 政歴M@D tag regarding Political History M@D sometimes it helps translating a historical event or person into Japanese and then putting it into Nico Nico Douga search next to the "MAD" tag.

The video I am starting off with is not exactly a translation as there was nothing to translate apart from the original Nichijou lyrics so I made a bunch of tweaks to it.
The original video is: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15599763 [Play] made by B@oimo who has a few other videos like this that are worth looking into. I remember he made that sleepy Joseph Stalin Santa video as well.

There's barely if not any English discussion about Nico Nico Douga left on the internet so I thought I'd make this thread to let people share any interesting medleys found on the Nico Nico Medley Series tag https://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/ニコニコメドレーシリーズ
Discuss basically anything about the medleys you're going to share whether it's a just a single part that evicts emotions or memories inside of you or any additional information that the average person wouldn't know about the medley and its author.
No overseas medleys, and make sure to check if there's maybe an entry for the medley at medley.bepis.io before posting since that provides quite a lot information.

If you used to frequently browse the internet back then it would be hard to not have heard at least one of these three nico nico douga medleys which are also called The Big Three:

Kumikyoku (Super Suite): https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm500873 [Play]
Ryuuseigun (Meteor Shower): https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2959233 [Play]
Nanairo (Rainbow/7 Colors of): https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm7233711 [Play]
All of them using popular songs at the time on Nico Nico Douga they were all produced by Shimo and are usually referred to as the medleys that defined the early days of Nico Nico Douga with Kumikyoku being the 2nd offical entry in the tag that created thousands upon thousands of medleys inspired by it and "I tried to sing" videos and more.

You can refer to these articles for more information about the medleys which also include a song list.

[Nostalgic] Early IM@S (Idolm@ster) MADs Anonymous Thu 24/04/2025 6:30:21 AM 2 months ago MER No. 97 +
I've decided to revive this thread after going through all my mylists on Nico Nico Douga and revisiting a collection of Idolm@ster MADs I had saved a long time ago. If my memory serves me right, the previous thread didn't last long due to the site's shutdown and a lack of unique responses due to me not really explaining what these are supposed to be.

Idolm@ster was originally an arcade game by Bandai Namco. In the game, you play as a producer, and your job is to nurture your very own idol. It was later released on Xbox (the first game) and PlayStation (the second game, this one is shit).
in 2007 when people initially uploaded their gameplay videos to NND of IM@S on the Xbox and arcade it got incredibly popular and a kind of MAD craze happened around that time and by February 10, 2010 it crossed the 100,000 video mark.
If you don't know MAD/M@D refers to the editing of videos and audio to give them new meanings. This work involves creators using their imagination to transform original works into new creations, differentiating them from straightforward plagiarism. There are many types of different MADs and a video is usually tagged with what kind of MAD it is supposed to be (like Sound MAD, Game MAD, Movie MAD, etc.)
For further information I will recommend you check out these:
https://www.nicovideo.jp/search/アイドルマスター%20MAD
https://idolmaster.tdiary.net/20000102.html (What is IM@S MAD? and a list of popular IM@S MAD videos)
https://metagold.hatenadiary.org/entry/20080513/1210650303 (From a early source if you want more information on Nico Nico Douga in English)
http://kaniblog-eng.blog.jp/archives/1066580690.html#more (Another interesting blog post from early NND user Kanipan which is worth reading)

Since we are approaching Halloween I am going to start off this thread with my most favorite IM@S MAD video which is originally the opening to the anime called Hakaba Kitaro (Graveyard Kitaro), and so what I found really interesting about this opening is that it shows a bunch of clever used colorized cut outs of the original Hakaba Kitaro manga's first chapter which was actually the series that served as a inspiration for the popular horror stories manga and anime series called Gegege no Kintaro.
There is a TV size and full version for this MAD, and I love how for the full he went the extra step to draw bits that were not actually included in the original opening.
