It’s September 1. That means that not only is Project Otaking 3 months old today, but that we’ve finally escaped the infinite time loop we’ve been stuck in for 595 years. It’s true. That’s where all the deja-vu we’ve all been feeling lately comes from.

We have all been living the same span of time from The Cosplay Mini-Summit to the White Hat Charity Event over and over again. This is the 15,532nd time we’ve lived through all this — which makes sense because this damned cosplay-costrip-modelling fiasco feels like it’s been going on forever.

There were two instances where I didn’t go to Otaku Taiki: the 2,391st and 11,054th times. In addition, there were 437 instances where a flamewar didn’t break out in the comments page of my Otaku Taiki report. (Unfortunately this isn’t one of them.)

There were 9,056 times where our friend Sese cosplayed, but there have been six different variations. Aside from Kagamine Rin, she also cosplayed as Hatsune Miku, C.C. from Code Geass, Minky Momo, EVA Unit 01, and a large green frog.

What possessed us to keep wearing these damned things?

I actually figured all of this out on the evening of August 31st and planned to tell you guys sooner. However, since time is reset at midnight, August 31st, back to August 17th, and our memories are also reset, we have no recollection of the previous iterations, and so I’ve kept forgetting to tell you all. Sorry!

Unfortunately I’d also been putting off writing today’s article, since I figured it was the problem of the Me that would somehow make it out of the time loop. So instead of a proper three month anniversary post, you have this silly piece instead.

(For those of you who aren’t Haruhi fans, or haven’t seen the second season, I apologize. This is one long joke about the Endless Eight arc.)

Look at the bright side: At least Hitler should be happy now:

So with the end of this Endless Eight, let’s all raise a glass to the final, definitive end to the same crap being spouted by the same people over and over again, and to the future of the local otaku scene! To three months of Project Otaking!
