Kotaku 'Shop Contest: The Commander In Chief Of Anime: Winners!

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Does President Obama really love anime? It really doesn't matter. What does matter is it's so much fun imagining he does that last week's Kotaku 'Shop Contest produced some of the most wonderful work of the year thus far.

Fresh from telling funny anecdotes about the children he teaches on Facebook, GiantBoyDetective brings home the imagined gold this week with his heartbreaking depiction of Michelle Obama as an anime widow. He'll never notice you, Michelle. You should have hooked up with a Star Trek fan. They enjoy real women.

Of course GBD's win doesn't mean the rest of you didn't do a good job as well. It's just his made me laugh and then made me sad. Many of yours just made me sad—especially the reall cool ones that didn't meet the 636 pixel width requirement!
