...this looks like a yaoi cover.
 
Notice how it was old school anime and not some garbage starring little girls wearing bikinis. Even Japan knows that stuff is to worth showing off.

I do think there will be a Miku/hologram concert at the opening ceremony in 2020 though.

Callie Marie concert or bust.
 
I think most folks at the Rio 2016 OT have already seen it, but for those who were sleeping during the closing ceremony and/or don't peruse the Gaming side, here it is (before the IOC takes it down/geoblocks it anyway because the IOC gotta IOC)

Honestly, even if you take the whole vidja/animu thing out of the picture (and it would be a mistake, it's rare to see a country embracing its popular culture like Japan) it's still a gorgeous video.

Tokyo 2020 is already looking amazing and it's still four years away.
 
Why did Funky Papa close his thread? I hope it wasn't the Banzai!? That was meant as a celebratory thing.

Edit: Cool
 
I wonder if they'll include any of their religion / mythology into the opening or as motifs.
 
I'll be there for sure :)
Japan + olympic win/win :)

Is there any preliminary schedule for the locations?
I'll have to prepare a schedule for my night stayings as well
 
I was laughing my ass off when I watched Mario's appearance. And they even put the music from finishing a level in SMB! Daaaaaaaaamn.
 
Holy crap, I'm dying here.

So If we were to assign an anime to an olympic sport how would it shake out?

Boxing - Hajime no Ippo
Soccer - Captain Tsubasa
Basketball - Slam Dunk
Judo - Yawara

Are the ones that come to mind for me.

Beyblade - Beyblade
 
And there I thought with all the news surrounding Rio, Russia and Quatar, Tokyo might for once actually provide a big sporting event, which isn't a total embarrassment for the human race.

I should have known better!



But cool video. Really looking forward to it.
