OS-tan Fan-Fics, Comics and Fan-Stuff / Re: Lily1027's OS-tan space
Last post by Bella - Today at 08:44:34 PMInteresting! There was an official design for him, but it was lost? I like your art of him, especially the multicolored eyes and detailing on his vest. The way you render hair is quite slick, too!
I fully agree that obscure characters are the most fun to make art of!

OS-tan Talk / Re: OS-tan hot takes
Last post by Bella - Today at 08:03:51 PMQuote from: Goujer on Today at 07:46:28 PMI got a hot take, Ultima-san is an under-rated Vista-tan. I think a lot of her design speaks well to Vista's UI sensibilities.
Which one's that?
I can't keep all the Vis-tans straight. >_>

OS-tan Talk / Re: OS-tan hot takes
Last post by Goujer - Today at 07:46:28 PMQuote from: Lily1027 on June 23, 2026, 12:41:54 PMAnd another hot take of mine is, I hate when people says the Merryweather Internet Explorer-tan (and other characters from this series and the whole series) are OS-tans. Those are two separate universes, I mean, I don't mind crossovers or AUs or anythings like that. But I mean it when the context is meant to educate about OS-tans (like wiki or video). It really feels like the person who made it just went to google, found the first image, and told themself "it's humanized ..... so it's OS-tan" and started to find informations about the character even though it's not OS-tan.I always looked at them as "browser-tans" in there own universe. It's Merryweather's own set of browser gijinka OCs. Which when it boils down to it OS-tans are really just gijinka OCs of OSes adopted by everybody.
I feel like it actually wasn't been never called officially OS-tan comic or anything. But as i've mentioned before, some people just sees something humanized related to technology and immediatelly goes "it's OS-tan".
I got a hot take, Ultima-san is an under-rated Vista-tan. I think a lot of her design speaks well to Vista's UI sensibilities.

OS-tan Fan-Fics, Comics and Fan-Stuff / Lily1027's OS-tan space
Last post by Lily1027 - Yesterday at 04:28:01 PMJust a space for me to post my OS-tan related things 
I will post here my OS-tan related stuff I made 
I made a lot of OS-tan related things that I would like to post here.
Madobe Goichi
This is my Madobe Goichi design (in case you didn't know, the actual Madobe personification of Windows XP is Madobe Goichi), I made it in late 2024 I think? I tried to make it look like official illustration but I failed lol.
This design is slighty outdated, I am currently working on making new illustration art for my Madobe Goichi design. I made this Madobe Goichi design before I found the only official not lost media of him, and found that his headband is actually of different color.
This design is half-official half-fanmade, this is just my interpretation of his design. Mutsumi's design is also half-official half-fanmade.
I actually really like making content about obscure or underrated characters!
Headcanons and theories
Here are some of my headcanons and theories
- Nanami's eye colors might represent Windows 7 editions, the Black color in her eye represents Windows 7 Ultimate, the green represents Windows 7 Home Premium, the blue represents Windows 7 Professional and the yellow represents Windows 7 Starter
- Madobe Mutsumi's birthday is May 22, 1990. Because she is younger than Goichi but older than Nanami, and Nanami was born on the day the Windows 3.1 was released and Goichi was born on the day Windows 1.01 was released. And every Madobe Sibling graduated at age 27. And 1990+27=2017, the year Madobe Mutsumi graduated.
- The OS-tans uses only the OS they represent Example: Homeko uses only Windows XP Home Edition, Nanami uses only Windows 7 etc.
- The Madobe OS-tans and the Futaba OS-tans do not die when the OS they represents got end of support, they graduate, and the Futaba OS-tans gets retired.
- The Futaba OS-tans and the Madobe OS-tans are two separate universes, and they do not know about each other's existence.
And that's all of what I can think of now
If you read this until the end, sorry for wasting your time by reading my headcanons and theories

Last post by VonDaab - June 26, 2026, 04:30:04 PMI just grabbed this one off ebay for about 50bucks. Japanese seller said it had a "read error" but it was pretty clear they were using either a corrupted/protected or unformatted disk to test it.
They seem much more common on the US market. Seen a good bunch of them for just as low as 10bucks on ebay.
