JAPANESE ASCII ART WEEK!
This week we post only Japanese ASCII art, mostly from 4-ch and utf8art. These sites are really active sites, reflecting the huge popularity of ASCII in Japan.
Technically, these graphics are not ASCII since they use a different character encoding (Shift-JIS, JIS, EUC or Unicode). For simplicity, we tag everything with #ShiftJIS here. In Japan though, it’s usually known as ASCII art (AA).
The images above are from old posts we’ve made, see more at http://text-mode.tumblr.com/tagged/shiftjis. They are:
– Marisa Stole the Precious Thing (魔理沙は大変なものを盗んでいきました) by IOSYS (2006)
– Anata to wa chigau n desu (“I am different from you”) Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda (2008).
– Channeler by Takashi Ohashi (2012).
– Giko (ギコ) and Mona.
– Well-made shift_JIS conversion of the Bad Apple video.
– Owata 人生 オワタ- a shiftjis game.
– Star Wars stuff posted by illiorzilli
– Densha Otoko 電車男. otaku intervening perverts on the train
Glitched pages from the American teletext ExtraVision, preserved from tapes from 1985-1989 by AssunaYuuki for the Teletext Player. This is not textmode but vector graphics, which is why the glitches are quite dramatic and basically works of art.
American teletext preservation is very active these days, see the U.S Teletext Archive and the Teletext Discord for more.
