Microsoft unveils official IE11-tan called Inori Aizawa

[LAwLz]

Microsoft just released a short anime on their Internet Explorer YouTube channel called "Internet Explorer: The Anime -- feat Inori Aizawa" (click link to watch). Internet Explorer-tan is called "Inori Aizawa" and there isn't really much more to say. You will be able to download a special version of IE11 with a skin of the new mascot in the near future.

Post on the official facebook page:

 

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?

Test it out if you use IE9

 

I should add that this is not the first time Microsoft does something like this. With the launch of Windows 7 they announced "Nanami Madobe", their cloud server software Azure has its own -tan called "Claudia", Sliverlight-tan is called "Hikaru" and Windows 8 has two mascots called "Madobe Yu" and "Madobe Ai" (as in, UI). There are a few more but you get the point. There have been unofficial OS-tans for quite a long time but it seems like Microsoft likes the idea and will continue to make official ones for their products.

Edit: I do prefer your style of posting about this compared to the other topic.... your title is also more appropriate.

But man as an Anime fan myself IE kinda got me a tad bit. (Even though Chrome will always be my baby) I think this was a pretty good marketing if I do say so myself. But this is still IE. .n.

Seriously?

Oh lol it's okay if you post something for the 5th time but if I post something for the second time WW3 breaks loose.

[TheRuke]

[TopWargamer]

Aw, beat me to it. Oh well.

 

This is probably the only good thing to come about from Internet Explorer, other than using it to download Chrome or Firefox.

GG on those who draw it, but IE you aint gonna fool anyone! You still suck...

 

Its like make a phone in China and add Apple logo and sell to people as their own for 400-500% of price - ohhh wait it already did happened

 

 

BTW Love your icon, do you know when season two comes out for Nobuna?)

I do the "icons" (animated gifs to be exact) from anime i watched and find cool part.

When they will sell enough merchandise like figures, posters DVD's and sh*t. Plus i dunno if it aint based on a manga and wait for them to make another season or catch up.

This is like the 5th post so far lol

It's not 2003 anymore. IE is a good browser, maybe not the best but still a good browser.

[Prince32780]

IE9 and 10 are alright, I don't understand the hate.

[GoodBytes]

Microsoft did the same with Surface (1):

As someone commented on FB, "Love [insert other browser here], but Inori is just way too cute"

I think I'll be renaming my IE icon "Inori Explorer" now...

[Giggitygoebbels]

Linking iE to Anime?Bad move.I hate Anime to the core.No offense intended however.

Before this:Use iE to download nightly,then taking ownership of IE files and deleting entirely.

After this:Download nightly beforehand and saving to a storage device,and use a slipstreamed windows disc with IE removed.
