Tegaki means hand-drawn, JOJO is the name of a manga.
JOJO fans started drawing pictures of them and uploaded pictures/animations featuring JOJO.
This one is a MAD with the opening video of Ghost in the Shell. Very cool.
This one is not JOJO-like touch, but using JOJO characters:
This one is a remix of Danjo and JOJO
These 2 videos are featuring ipod CMs with JOJO characters:
This is a video that collected top 5 videos that the "NicoNicoDouga ranking" creators had selected.
Many of them were already introduced here on this blog, so I will introduce some that I haven't that were on the ranking and I thought was interesting, and also does not have much "stories" so that you don't need to understand Japanese... so here we go :)
"M@STER FONTS"
This creator made an "idol m@ster"ish font, and created a promotion video using the fonts.
You can download the font from here:
"Hatsune Miku Cinderella Romance"
This is made by a professional actually...
"wireless FINAL opening animation"
This animation is a hand-drawn animation... even the backgrounds are hand-made by the director.
"NicoNicoDouga Ryuseigun video captured when it had 2million comments"
Lots of comment art masters came around to illustrate the video.
IDOL M@STER / PERSONA4 remix video
HONEY"
This video has all of the Vocaloid family including Meiko, Miku, Rin/Ren, Kaito, Haku, Neru, and Teto.
Midou-san's Do-Dai
I've covered other videos of Midou-san in the past on this blog, here's another one!
"Nicochu has made NicoNicoDouga Ryuuseigun chaotic"
I didn't introduce this one because you really need to know the various videos that this one is quoting in order to enjoy... but you'll have an understanding of how "chaotic" NicoNicoDouga really is :)
"A new idol aiming for idol master"
This one is probably hard to understand- it is one of the NicoNico all stars video using special scripts such as NicoWari and NicoScripts. I should write posts about those later...
Hatsune Miku-that I had been writing a LOT about was the 1st of the Vocaloid Character series,
and the 2nd one is the twins -Kagamine Rin and Ren.
"Roshin Yukai" is an original song created for Kagamine Rin,
I think this type of music would have been rare if you only had "human" singers...
Then, as you can imagine, people started singing this song...quite amazing!
2009/1/7 update:
Another amazing singer Ritsuka sang Roshin Yukai:
Megumi Nakajima, who is a voice actress as well as a singer posted a video of herself dancing to one of her songs and invited NicoNicoDouga users to post videos of them dancing to this song, and that some of them will be invited to a christmas event she is going to be performing at.
This is her video:
She even posted a video of the dance reflected in a mirror so that her fans can practice the dance by watching the monitor
As you can imagine, there was someone who posted a video of MikuMikuDance.
Comparison with the original... amazing :D
Recently NicoNicoDouga launched a service called "NicoNicoChannel".
Here you can see all the "official channels" categorized under "politics" - which even the prime minister of Japan has his channel and the opposition parties such as Ichiro Ozawa of DPJ and Kazuo Shii of the Socialist party has their channels. "public organizations, companies and brands" has a police channel where they have education videos of crimes and Toshiba channel and Comesta channel. They have "education" channels, "TV/Media/weather" channels, "music" channels, "movie" channels, "game" "anime" "comedy and sports""artists and celebrities" etc.
Until NicoNicoChannel launched, all of the videos were free to watch in NicoNicoDouga, but some of the NicoNicoChannel charges you some fee to watch their video. Other channels are free.
For example, if you try to watch an anime called "Candy Boy", they require you to "join" the channel and pay 315yen(around 3$)/month or 945yen for 90days usage.
Within "variety" category, there was this channel called "NicoNicoMesse". NicoNicoMesse is an instant messenger based on MSN messenger which you can chat with your friends while watching NicoNicoDouga videos.
It looks like Microsoft made this promotion video of NicoNicoMesse using MikuMikuDance :)
There's a bunch of people who plays with LEGO and uploads their videos to NicoNicoDouga,
but this one is amazing.
The creator says it is a tribute for the 30th anniversary of LEGO dolls and took more than 100 hours to shoot this (10days).
He says he will start making more LEGO stop motion animes over the next 6 months...
Here's another amazing one - 6.6m battleship "Yamato" using over 150,000 parts,
started creation back in winter, 2002 and planning to finish by spring of 2009.
And he's working on this all by himself...
I had been introducing lots of MikuMikuDance 3DPVs,
but there are people who still makes Miku 3DPVs using 3D applications.
This is a creation of one of such artists who spent 2-3 hours per day for the last 1 YEAR
to create this video. Quite amazing...
Facts:
Nico Nico Douga is
1) a video sharing service where the uploader can upload videos
2) anyone can post comments on the videos, however only limited number of comments can be displayed, so when there are lots of comments, earlier comments disappear
3) uploader has the priviledge to post "uploader comments" which will NOT be deleted, so usually they posted instructions, lyrics, etc. I think uploader comments were generally simple, and the "comment masters" were generally ordinary comments
4) animation videos and music videos that violate copyright are deleted from Nico Nico Douga
OK. So here comes a hero.
Look what this guy made with "uploader comments" :P
GONG is a song sung by a group called "JAM PROJECT".
It is a favorite song of NicoNico users and there are lots of MADs.
