Re: [1609] it's rare, but it happens

Always worth the wait.

Mugi and Yaku have beat Meimi and Yuki's scene in 1300 for adorableness, and that was a tough act to beat.

Re: [1607] I don't want to die (part 1)

She probably died of her heart condition, re-spawned, and the locals took exception to that and killed her again. Ah, this must be how the Analogue Support Facility came to be. Once her tragedies became valuable to Authority, they established a safe respawn point. In the modern age, she's supposed ...

Re: [1596] reference material

God, Piro is in a BSOD hard crash. His friend and his one time Idol are casually comparing his porn collection to their sex life...and while his own girlfriend is standing right there, language barrier or no. There's only one thing that could make this even more mind-blowing for him. Consider: Piro ...

Re: [1595] TMD too much debriefing

So, Piro's taste in porn is...never mind. Don't wanna know.

This is the kind of character interaction that I read Megatokyo for.

This is great, Fred. Thank you.

I'd guess Erika is thinking about stories for Moeko, not Miho.
Ah, true. Still kinda scary, though.

Re: [1594] a side of you I haven't seen before

I wonder just how much Erika knows about the history between Piro and Miho. She may have intuited that there's something there based this and that but I don't think Miho (or Kimiko, for that matter) has had time to tell her anything, even if they were inclined to. Piro is the kernel of the disruptio...

Chokage's face - the direction she was looking at, and her ears lifting up, something she normally avoids doing - tells me the message wasn't on her phone. She was hearing it.

Re: [1583] the heartbreak of other people's luck

I definitely remember someone (Fred himself?) posting that there was no way Megumi could actually be a nine-tails because it would significantly affect future aspects of the story. Maybe she just doesn’t realize what she is until it becomes relevant at some point? And...wait...that’s the end of the...

And she may have also been having emotional flashbacks to Hitoshi's "I'm holding you back" breakup. She's not giving up this time. (I'm not comparing Hit...

Re: [1563] That performance

Well, the real upshot of this all is that in order to finish Moeko's story Erika will need to sign the contract that Dom will offer her. Yup.... Is that what Largo meant? That Erika is a powerful idol, always will be, and that she is doomed to return to that life even if he does run over Dom with a...

Oh, gods. Misamachi nearly lost Tokyo the last time Erika and Miho's orbits crossed. Now Erika has a mandate from an MG and a freaking wand. And Largo will be somehow involved.

That town's gonna get chunked.

At first, I had thought that the last panel could be Erika thinking out loud in the third person, but the direction of the speech bubble suggests otherwise. So, a milestone in the Megatokyo story, right up there with the power lines and Piro's panic . Is Erika going to go back to acting now? What ma...

The more things change, the more they stay the same. When Megumi flubs with an obvious "They were here but they aren't here anymore!", Ping accepts and that's that. She's undergoing change before our eyes, yet still the sweet Ping that we hope never changes.

Wow. Junko is super defensive about being grabbed and detained. Ashe's approach was physical, but it conveyed "don't go yet". In response, Junko's face was not simply anger, but a mix of rage and panic. Not just a push-back and a slap, but a roundhouse and a groin kick . Junko must have been handled...
