Diorama Studio: installing and launching

Updated 11 November 2007 with updated links

To use Diorama Studio, Konami’s free Busou Shinki digital diorama software, you’ll have to install the ShinkiNET application suite, create a Konami ID and (optionally) configure Windows XP to display Japanese text correctly.

In previous entries, I’ve detailed the steps needed to create a Konami ID and display Japanese text correctly in both the ShinkiNET Launcher and Diorama Studio on a non-Japanese edition of Windows XP.

This is the most incredible clip I’ve seen on YouTube in a while. There’s so much going on here it’s staggering. It’s live-action and anime. There’s a man and a woman gattai-ing without forming the beast with two backs. There’s a cyborg and a dinosaur. A flying jet with tank treads. A flamethrower. There’s kaiju-decapitation. An explosion. All this in a single clip lasting *pchew! pchew!* 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
