Though I’ve seen some quickwrite-ups from some lucky bastardspeople who got to see (and meet) Makoto Shinkai at the BFI in London, Martin was another of those lucky bastardspersons who got to even shake his hand and wrote about the experience at Nakama Britannica.

When last linked to an interview of Shinkai, I had pointed out that he was working on a new feature-length film. In his talks at the BFI, he confirms one of my thoughts at the time: Shinkai went to London to get some new inspirations for his new film. He mentions getting out of his “comfort zone” to recreate the feelings of when he left home for Tokyo when he was eighteen.

In other but related news, I mainly have two words for Fledge: Do it!1 I did buy the Shinkai: Collection Box Set2 for $30 a few years ago at the local Best Buy3, an investment that was well worth it. Worth it enough to import the Special Edition R2 DVD of Byousoku 5 CM when it was released in Japan4 along with buying the R1 release when it came out here in the U.S.

  1. 1. The power of peer pressure compels you!
  2. 2. I’ve always found it a bit amusing and presumptuous that it was called a “Collection” when Shinkai only had two movies and a short out that totaled to only about 120 minutes total, but they are probably my most re-watched DVDs so far.
  3. 3. It might also be available at Robert’s Anime Corner Store if Fledge couldn’t wait, but I’m sure there’s a good reason he’s waiting for it to be available on Amazon.
  4. 4.Picture of box here. I should put up a pic of the full contents of the DVD too…

UPPDATE: Added a “.psd” to the end of the PSD file so Windows users should be able to open it. If you downloaded the file already, just ad a “.psd” onto the end of the file name.

Folks not interested in the bi-monthly stats may want to click through to download the PSD layered file of “floating Mirai^^;”

Am very late in announcing May stats which were the best ever in the history of dannychoo.com.
May served just over 20 million page views (20,011,818) to an average of 93,753 unique daily users (up from 84,450 in March). The monthly unique users amounted to an accumulative total of 2.9 million visitors (2,906,369) up from 2,617,958 in March.

Notable referrers of the month were…

And thanks to all Featured Feed members on Otaku.fm and everybody else with links to dannychoo.com. If you have registered my feed on your blog do let me know and I will activate your feed for this site and otaku.fm - may take a few days to get back to you as the amount of mail I’m getting of late is a bit crazy ^^;
Would also like to thank my sponsors who are…

And most importantly I would like to thank you the reader and the folks who participate in the community.

Now that we’re done with the boring stuff, here is the Photoshop layered file (with transparency) that you first saw in Mirai’s eroge Miracle Mirai.

The login required file is located here - I anticipate thousands of users trying to download this file at the same time - if you cant download it then try again later. The file is 6.9MB.

Inside the file you will find different facial expressions and the sailor fuku uniform - one with stockings/shoes and one without for those who have a foot fetish ^^;

I have not included the birthday suit version because Mirai is shy and she said that her B’day suit is for my eyes only ^^;

Am looking forward to seeing your wallpapers, icons, widgets etc being uploaded to the member news section. Also feel free to use any of the Suenaga sisters material on you website in headers etc.
If you missed it, you can download Haruka-chans PSD file from the previous Haruka Suenaga article.

As for the poll, I asked this before but it was a while ago and thought I’d ask again - how you discover this site and what made you decide come back for more? Did you bookmark or register the RSS feed?
