The 66th Running of the AnimeSuki RUSH... 12:32:00 JST
11:32:00 PM ET, 10:32:00 PM CT, 9:30:00 PM MT, 8:30:00 PM PT

I know plug suits are all the rage, but really now... you can't tell me that the first three leads were not inteiontally made to look like dogs and Elise was made to look like a cat... really now... sadly while I am a cat fan, I perfer the dog-esque plug-suit thingies.. what ever they call the this time around to go with their nanoskin.


Key Times:
xx:32:00 First Post + Votes (if applicable)
xx:32:46 Second Moe Gal
xx:33:32 Optional


Syncronize your time here: http://www3.nict.go.jp/cgi-bin/JST_E.pl <- in ENGLISH! No really, this is important. (Your computer's clock is most likely wrong.. I promise! Check it! My computer gets another second ahead every day.)

Spoiler for About Rushing / Templates / Etc:

What is a rush?

Quite simply it is one of the native traditions of the 2ch existance of Saimoe... it is a fun way to enteract with other like-minded fans to show support for some cause. Most rushes are based on a single charector or series... for example the Nanoha series has always had quite a following. One of the main goals it to make an unbroken series of posts in 2ch ... which is pretty easy in the first rounds, but becomes more and more impossible as the saimoe progresses. So timing is important! The AnimeSuki rush is a rush more to show the support of English speaking fans of some of the traditions of the Saimoe.

Are there any template rules?

There are technical limitations of 2ch, particularly 2048 bytes. So far I have not found a way to check it that is correct every time, other than test posting it. It seems that while 2ch claims 2048, it may be closer to 1930 or lower.

For our rushes, the only required element is ensuring that the AnimeSuki linker is present and appropriately located. Note, the linker is spread across the bottom and top of the rush posts such to LINK the posts together.

I highly encourage people to play with the film strip. The film strip is the part running down the left of the rush post. The "default" is just "Anime" ... but I strongly encourage putting the moe gal's name there.

If you art is really big or complex, it is fine by me for it to run into parts of the linker or film strip as needed, but do not completely obscure the linker.

Don't know how to do AA? It's okay... use our templates.

Include some moe-bun if you can. Due to the size limits, sometimes the best way to do this is several minutes before the rush, post your moe-bun (charector support) .. then in your rush post put ">>###" (where the number refers to the post your moe-bun is in).

Please try to maintain POSITIVE moe-bun... yes the darkside is strong, but at least for these rushes, please only provide positive moe-bun for the moe-gal your supporting. Save the anti-moe bashing for posts outside of the rush.

Don't give the japanese finger ammunition! If you've already voted, please make sure that you change the <<CHARA-HERE>> to something else... like //CHARA-HERE// ... I'll leave my professional opinion of fake votes aside, but 2ch already has enough gaijin hating people... they love to blame fake voting on us for some reason.

How do I Rush?

IF you already know how to vote in Saimoe, it's basically not all that much different...

PRobably the easiest way to do it is to open up the 2ch voting thread in a new window (I tend to open two or three tabs of it in that window to various reasons). What is the current voting thread? Just look through the posts here... usually people will post it here.. and we try to post it just before the rush, especailly if it is getting close to the end of a thread.

If you want to, you can simple open one of the templates found in this post for the chara you like, and copy over the template to the voting box of your 2ch voting thread...

Then open up the time link above. If you haven't posted anything on 2ch today, good chance you will get the cookie question... so 5-10 seconds before the appointed time, click post, then right when appointed time crosses, click ok on the cookie question. Even better is to post in one of the many polls that are going on in 2ch... or if you are not familar enough with Japanese... you can do a normal vote 10-30 minutes before the rush ... then just click post right on the appointed time...

Again, you dont HAVE to vote and rush at the same time... I do, but it's just how I do it... and you don't have to use my art (actually if you can find other art, WONDERFUL! ) ... just remember to make sure the linker (the 2 lines at top and bottom that say "AnimeSuki" when two posts are together) are in the right spot... and thats it.

Warming up an hour earlier to avoid cookie question is highly recommended. There are a number of other forums available on 2ch... I'll try to remember to post some.

Sadly, right now, there is no AA for our beloved Miyako ... I can think of so many good scenes.... but those who possess far more art skills than I in Japan seem not to find them as appealing ... so we are stuck with supporting our dissapearing Miyako with words alone within our template... maybe, just maybe we will get lucky and find some in the thread today...

So for now, just use that template... and put text in it for our Miyako... if you are supporting other charectors, check my post above... and maybe you'll luck out... (it also has link to AA for a lot of chara, so you can make your own... highly recommended).

Or they're hoarding the ascii art on some other site or something. Yeah, I'm counting on finding something in one of the voting threads; it worked for me last time I couldn't find anything on the site we normally use.

[Teiran]

Loving that poster.

I'm voting for Saki, although I think some part of me desperately wants the Question Fairy to win.

[Ithekro]

Not all that interested in todays matches. Was thinking of voting for Nagato Yuki instead.

This is "Seiyuu Parody".(Megumi Toyoguchi = Revy,Kirino,Question Fairy)

*Vote for Shana and Miyako

[Zeroryoko1974]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n_FawEh3Vw
and a fan made movie (has some loli fan service)

[Liddo-kun]

Obviuosly voting for Shana today.

Her opponent is not so strong but that makes this day more dangerous, because some Shana fans might be complacent and the tactical voters could take advantage.

[OverFunk]

Will be voting Shana and Fairy.

Not surprising for Shana, but why the fairy...

And no rushing. Proxy haet me. Off to update the synchroom for you guys.

[Game8910]

Shana rape pls

[Zeroryoko1974]

lol question fairy sorry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5XRaWul1fA

[FlareKnight]

Well will go with Shana and Miayko this time. Otoha has to pay period for ruining the match of two girls using fire+swords. Though that would have been an easy Shana win anyways. But definitely have to take this match seriously since being complacent has already lead to a few losses. Miyako I'm just supporting for the regular moe. Though its not a crucial match for me.
