Blur and unreliable moeblob Hirasawa Yui from the hit musically inclined anime series, K-On! has been shown to be the waifu of choice for otakus, at least in the animation magazine “Animage“’s wife ranking (whatever that is and if that even makes any sense).

Everyone seems to like the new operating system by Microsoft, and that also includes Linux creator, Linus Torvalds. Picture taken from the Linux Symposium in Japan, where Microsoft apparently set up a booth.
After the debacle that was Endless 8, Kadokawa Shoten finally announced that the much awaited moe infested arc of Suzumiya Haruhi (which includes an extremely more boring and monotone Meganekko Nagato Yuki and a longer haired and more tsundere Suzumiya Haruhi), “Dissapearance” aka Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu will be made into a movie instead.
