On behalf of the entire Doki Staff, I wish all Chinese and Vietnamese a joyous Lunar New Year.
I tried looking for pics appropriate for such an occasion. Obviously posting NSFW pics are definitely inappropriate and also I received complains from people who claim the over ecchi pics put their jobs in jeopardy. So this time round, SFW pics are included.
As I was saying, I can’t find appropriate pictures relating to the New Year but instead I find many Christmas ones. I guess this shows that Christmas is more marketable? Or is it a reflection of the growing influence of westernisation? In any case, the above two seems close enough, representing fireworks and reunion dinner.
The pictures are wallpapers, click to enlarge. So well… enjoy I guess.
I will hijack this post and officially announce that Shuffle, Toradora AND Kodomo no Jikan Blu-ray will be picked up. -Holo

I was just a bit upset because instead of saying “Happy Chinese (or Lunar) to everyone”. Whoever posted this only said it to the Chinese instead. It may not be right for me to get upset , but i was a little offended; i don’t think you or anyone else would care… i will just say it anyway.
I’m sorry if that offended you, but when we refer to the Lunar New Year, we collectively refer to it as the Chinese New Year.
For your New Year in Vietnam which also uses the lunar calendar, it is often referred to as the “Vietnamese New Year”. Despite being celebrated on the same day, there are distinctive differences to the two of them, for instance the customs and taboos.

Thanks for the clarify and for editing the post… I was NOT expecting you to go so far just for some random stranger. Happy Lunar New Year! May the goddess of prosperity fall upon you and your family.

Comment deleted, do ho ho ho.
YESSSS The BEST part of that post was anything relating to Kodomo No Jikan. Doki, you are filling up my computers with awesome! Haruhi, Oreimo, Clannad, After Story, Kanon, and now Kodomo no Jikan!!
lolololol
>Clannad, After Story, Kanon and now Kodomo no Jikan!!
That looks totally out of place lol
…….. i still don’t get it.
Whatever.
Anyway let’s make it a great year!
Toradora- YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Shuffle- Should have watched it by now, so this gives me an excuse.
Kodomo no Jikan- Not sure how accurate it is to the manga so…..
There’s only one problem- I have to study =_=
I think Shuffle! deserves some praise as well. Very good game, good anime but the one I watched were in very shitty quality…
ahahaha. really KnJ is getting Blu-Ray?! aahaha. very cool. oh by the way Holo. which shuffle series is getting a blu-ray subs from you? the older series or the recent series which is only 13 episodes? ^_^
I’m not too sure about this one, but i’m guessing it’s all of them. I understand that Shuffle Memories are mainly recap episodes ending with an OVA, so it actually makes sense to just do the original Shuffle! plus that OVA.
Best restaurant at which to celebrate Year of the Rabbit?
IHOP, of course!
Opps! I just realized International House of Pancakes might not be international enough for this audience. Sorry.
Wow! great news, looking forward for those releases 😀
please finish seto no hanayome and seikon no qwaser
Lol, all this celebrating this and that is just an excuse to get drunk and fuck… as always. Just not every1 understanding it yet lol.
since this is the year of the rabbit, maybe for chinese new year a pic with some bunnygirls would have been fitting?
bunnygirls? that won’t be safe for work.
Happy Asian Lunar New Year!Wish Doki team and everyone all the best!February 17 is the Lantern Festival in China,today we setting off fireworks most like the 花火大会 of Japan.(^O^)
Did anyone hear about any recent Toradora announcements? I think there was supposed to be one today.
