Just a little update about MRirian thanks to Jonathan. So it seems the whole MRirian phenomena was just a viral marketing campaign for a Japanese horror movie. I think we all deep down knew it, but it's nice that the truth is out. Jonathan discovered that the comments were being moderated to preserve the hoax. On a scale of 1 - 10 on how effective the viral campaign was, I give it a 7. The Youtube videos got their views, bloggers were talking about it (me included), and it got publicity from some big sites. Well, if you go to Magibon.com you will see a gas masked figure named Frank, obsessing over Magibon's videos. Frank is clawing at the wall, while it seems a projector is projecting Magibon's pictures on a wall. Frank has also drawn a lovely stick figure picture of him and Magi holding hands with hearts in the background. So who knows the name of the new movie? I wonder how many Magibon blogs are going to be abandoned and forgotten like Lonelygirl15? OH, and all of you that voted saying MRirian is the next Lonelygirl15, congratulate yourselves. You were right! Thanks again Jonathan. Yaranaika? morphing caesar?

 		I'm new to this, i've been lurking for a while and I thought I'd 'cut my teeth' analysing something. Chances are it probably isn't going to be a trailhead but I enjoyed looking for stuff in that vid. I'll be getting involved more often now Smile

 		Cool, you're welcome!

I've changed the title of this thread. Because the thing with magibon.com seems to be solved.

The other enigma is - what is Magibon as character? I doubt, it's only coincidental vlogger ob youtube. I suppose, there is a project behind.

So let's try to find the truth about this mysterious girl.

The forums have a lot of new posts this week. Check out the author's explanation and background info about the project.
http://magibon.com/forum/index.php?board=1.0

Also, he has uploaded some analysis at http://metamemetic.danung.com/ -- I especially like the "Summary and Facts" section:

* A number of people believe magibon.com is a viral marketing campaign for an upcoming japanese horror movie, and that Magibon herself must be a fictional character within that campaign.
-- which it wasn't.
