That Ponytailed Girl
Posted by: Shin in The Melancholy Of Suzumiya Haruhi, tags: Omake, Otaku
This is who you should have thought of first and from now onwards as well.
Through the unlikeliest of loopholes set up by Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, a certain pony tailed girl has found herself as an eligible participant for the upcoming Saimoe 2008. While the true identity of that person is highly debatable, supporters of the genderbending movement like myself are inclined to affirm that she is indeed Kyonko, a fact which we’re hellbent in advocating.
To achieve this we’re going to have to resort to conditioning, which is being able to associate the neutral stimulus that is “ponytailed girl” to one that is significant, being “Kyonko through a series of well thought out marketing techniques pimp Kyonko all out through whatever means necessary. Of course, it’s always so much more easier said than done, as there is no platform other than the usual fanart and character campaignings, but I believe the fans will think of something.
At my end, I have only this measly post to raise awareness levels, as well as the following item, which after much procrastination and delays is finally completed:
Yeah well, you try finding someone who’s willing to produce these shirts well below the minimum order(6 pairs) at a reasonable price. :razz:
Logically, the next best course of action would be to parade these shirts around at otaku events, which incidentally enough there happens to be one on the horizon. Will be heading down south tonight, to attend the inaugural Singapore Toy and Comic Convention. Hopefully I’ll get to meet you fellow Singaporean bloggers there as well and perhaps turn a few into my personal uke boytoys. :twisted: Thanks to wolfx for the doujin, although sadly it’s not PROMOTIONS material. :cry:

That’s a brilliant idea. I would happily wear one over the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya school uniform at AnimeFest. IN fact one of the days i was planning on cosplaying as Kyonko

*insert epic kyonko facepalm here*

you just love your kyonko face palm don’t cha Shaoron

Honestly Kyonko just gets hotter and hotter every time I see her.

This sounds like a justifiably good idea. Hopefully it comes to pass. Good luck with that, Shin.
Nekonron: Took a while man. Get with the program sooner.

get a hold of yourself… remember she is not real… she is a trap… urgh…
June 28th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
You do know that by supporting Kyonko you are, by proxy, advertisting your love for a guy. So therefore you must be into traps.
Just kidding.
June 28th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
@EvilDevil: Show me proof of Kyonko being a trap. If male parts are found, Rena’ll make good use of her cleaver.
But until you can provide such evidence (which does not exist), stop making such grossly inaccurate claims.

KyoAni better start thinking about the whole “Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu Reverse Gender Version” right about now.

LEAVE KYONKO ALONE! SHE IS A GIRL YOU HATERS!
June 28th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
Agreed.
Kyonko isn’t a trap.
The real trap is in D.D.D

We can easily identify Shin if he wears that unique shirt. (:

That part in ZSZS was epic (very much almost every episode in ZSZS), considering that Tomokazu Sugita voiced Ikkyu.

Oh, i want a shirt like that? Where did you get that…or did you make it yourself? DO WANT
June 28th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
You taking orders for them shirts?
June 29th, 2008 at 12:52 am
By the way which episode of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was Kyonko on anyway?
June 29th, 2008 at 1:54 am
Well, the shirt is interesting…. but i can’t sale high with it. If the t-shirt didn’t come in cheap, then i can’t get extra from it.
Anyone who love to order this t-shirt? Come in and call me!

It’s up to the organizers now Shin. ^^
And we may not have to do much. Expect “PONYTAIL GIRL” ASCII Art to flood the Saimoe Voting threads soon.
And you were there today? I would have wanted to say hi, lol.

MADNESS!!!
Why must eople resort to pimping when Kyonko is already official on fan basis? T_T
THE WORLD IS CRUEL.
Oh well, nice shirt there. Hah, I’d buy one if you put it up on Ebay. XD

@double, Hynavian, C.I
Too bad eh, I wished we could have coordinated this a little better, but the fact I got to go was a last minute decision on my behalf too.
@EZ
The event or the shirt?
@SetTheTruthFree
Awesome. I would really love to see it if you do.
@Nekonron
Yeah, I’m equally amazed at the stuff the fans churn out that seems to get better as time goes by.
@BigN
Not quite what I expected..Look out for my next post.
@DS
Indeed. I best not see any Kyonko haters around here…
@EvilDevil
Speak of the devil! Don’t be hatin’ yo, Kyonko’s awesome.
@Stifler
Why I oughta…
No seriously, if you were here a while back, you’d know that I AM into traps.
@RmX
Now now, it’s our task to convert unbelievers.
@Rakuen
So true. They’re sitting on a potential gold mine here.
@Hangmen
I ought to be shot for not completing the series yet.
@scum2k1, Faye, Kaito
I’m not sure yet, it’s going to take 5 weeks for them to be done, and I’m going to need well above the minimum orders to actually have them made cheap.
@KyonkoFan121
Episode 12 of Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei iirc.
@Kaito
There can never be enough exposure for our Kyonko.
@issa-sa
Despite the controversies last year, with its current track record, I’m assured that this will turn out much better than SaiGar will ever dream to.
@shaoron
Cool. Well, I’ll have to consult with the printers first if they have such a service, because I remember them doing a lot more than just print shirts too. Let me get back to you if they ever do.

“Haruhi, looks good on you”.
July 6th, 2008 at 3:27 am
Kawaii ponytailed Haruhi!!! I should have added this pic to my recent Suzumiya Haruhi entry.
July 7th, 2008 at 7:58 am
uh…..*facepalm* obviously, that isn’t “kyonko” in the zetsubou shot, it’s haruhi.
and if there was a pony-tailed-girl in saimoe, than it’s also obviously haruhi edited into kyonko. T_T; and…….kyonko is a FAN-MADE character. XD
….okay, I got that out of my system.
