Due to convenience reasons, SHS will no longer be operating on this site! We are now located on facebook and are using discord for the chat. For information, our discord chat is here: https://discord.gg/84ue8Vv. It has been a pleasure meeting and serving everyone on this website, but if we wish to move on, we must start fresh in a new location. I hope everyone understands and we hope to see new and old faces. With all that is said and done, SHS is officially up and running again and we had our first tournament on 2/24/2017!! As discussed, we can still hold the 10 year anniversary party. - Thanks for you understanding! With love, Pijy

I'm sure you've all seen personifications of web browsers and sites before.

Microsoft has taken this idea and made it into an official anime featuring the long-time underdog, Internet Explorer.

Since the embed is disabled, watch here.


The star character is Inori Aizawa, IE's new mascot.


Inori Aizawa
 
Hey everyone! My name is Inori and you can think of me as a personification of Internet Explorer.

When I was younger, I used to be a clumsy, slow and awkward girl.

However, just like the story of ugly duckling, people told me that I have really matured and changed over the years. I feel confident in my abilities now, and I'm eager to show you what I can do.

Why don't you get to know me a little better?



The animation is pretty neat, imo. I'm curious to see if they'll do anything more with this and also have appearances from other browsers (probs not due to the fact they are rivals in the industry). Maybe other branches of Microsoft will show up.

So Internet Explorer gets its very own magical girl now. Interesting. I can't help but wonder what Firefox and Chrome would look like in this sort of thing, though they probably won't show up per them being rivals in the industry, like you said.

And I gotta said, I also liked the music, too. It went along with the video pretty well.

I would actually watch that if it became more of a thing. If Internet Explorer wasn't totally terrible, that might actually convince me to watch it. I'd love for Firefox and Google Chrome to do similar things, although I didn't expect IE to do this first.

Microsoft understands its failures. This might be their only way out of the grave they have dug themselves.

Still dislike the anime girl thing but I guess that is to appeal to the anime fanbase....

I want to watch it but my hatred of IE is to the point that just the logo annoys me so I'm not sure this would help me any

IE isnt that bad anymore, but Firefox and Google Chrome (more so Firefox, if you arent a hipster person) are still highly superior, some Singapore anime promotion isnt going to change that, lol

...and for some reason people still hate Windows 8

I forgot to actually watch this. It looked so interesting that I really should get on it.
