I just noticed something about danbooru

Shimakaze is probably the most popular KanColle character in terms of how much fan art of her there is. there are about 10,000 pics of her on danbooru.

Hatsune Miku?

51,000+.

:)

that's two pictures of Miku for every man, woman, and child in the city of South Portland, Maine.

Hah! :)

She has been around longer, mind you. :)

True, but the next runner-up among the Vocaloids is Rin and she has ~12K.

(poor Gumi has to content herself with a mere 3400. then again, I gather she's a lot more recent.)

I mean, it's not a competition, as such, I just find it amusing.

man alive. It's gonna take me a long-ass time to go through 51,000 pictures.

there'll probably be 52 or 3 by the time I'm done.

That's what google image search is for?

gryphon
Hard to construct search terms for the kind of thing I'm riffling through danbooru for. "super cute pictures of hatsune miku where nothing horrible is happening to her jesus CHRIST what the fuck is WRONG with people" just confuses Google. :)

pjmoyer
good point.
