About

Kannazuki no Miko Ending Parodies (Japanese: 神無月の巫女EDパロ) refer to a series of parody video remixes for the ending credit movie of an anime adaptation for a Japanese Yuri^[1] manga Kannazuki no Miko written by Kaishaku.^[2] This ending movie has been a popular subject for parody among amatuer illustrators in the Japanese video sharing service Nico Nico Douga (NND) since the end of 2007 due to its quite simple format.

Origin

The TV anime series for Kannazuki no Miko aired 12 episodes between October and December of 2004, and it was also aired on North America as Destiny of the Shrine Maiden in 2010. Its ending movie is consisting of only one still-illustration depicting 2 main characters' embrace. The ending theme song "Agony" was sung by Japanese singer Kotoko.^[3]

Spread

In December 2007, a NND user Mikocha (巫女茶)^[4] serially posted videos reproducing this ending credit movie by his/her illustrations drawn in OekakiBBS.^[5] This series began with this When They Cry edition uploaded to NND on the 7th of that month (shown, below). Inspired by those pioneer's works, many amateur illustrators started this parody that requires one illustration only.^[6] And a vast amount of Yaoi/Boys Love editions has been created by Fujoshi^[7] users as well.^[8]

Additionally, parodies for this ending title illustration are also posted to illustrators communities pixiv^[9] and deviantART.^[10]

Various Examples

In the track of the original characters' relationship, characters' positions in the illustrations in this series mean that the right side is active role and the left side is passive role in their Yuri or Yaoi relationships.
