Anime Thread

Please, don't speak like that again... It's extremely annoying, disturbing, and stupid. I fully understand what you guys say and it's soooooooo annoying... Not to mention it makes you seem like an anime freak that thinks they're japanese because they know like 3 phrases and do that cosplay crap.

First off, no, I don't think I'm japanese. And you're right, I don't know much japanese, but I'm slowly teaching myself. Third, I don't cosplay. I have better things to spend my money on . .. such as paintball.

With that said, I will use little japanese phrases in the ANIME thread to another otaku if I feel like it. Chill out, man. Most of us big anime fans do it IRL, so don't jump on my case just b/c I said it here in the ANIME thread. Geez .

Also, emeraldis, I actually CAN relate, I just have yet to actually rip the audio track from an episode and put it on cd just so I can listen . . . I just put the OSTs onto CDs and listen to them . Heh heh heh, but I can totally understand why you do that . There's a reason why I'm kind of slow to burn my anime eps to CD then delete them from the HD: reason being: I like watching them over and over again. If they're on CD, I'm less likely to watch them as much than if they were on my HD .

Cosplay is not crap. -And I don't know too much Japanese, indeed I don't.


Anyone ever been to a convention? [If so, what one?]

[Will Wood]

My freind almost dragged me down to a general anime conv.. I immediately backed out when I found out it was soley a Yu-Gi-Oh one.

She's a huge anime geek, she's done Iruka from Naruto. (She has the vest and handband) and plan to do Garra, she'll dye her hair red and her other freind will be going as her gourd.

I personally will never cosplay myself lol, unless she cons me into it.

[Sir_Brass]

Same here. Too many cosplayers are the kind of people I would NOT want to hang around with (scariest was the pic of 5 grown and slightly obesse (sp?? read as: fat) men dressed up as the sailor senshi . . . *shudder* totally disgusting).

I'm perfectly willing to go to a con, though . I'd probably work staff, though since my club back home does that alot at the cons they go to (we're usually ASKED to come back b/c we do such a good job of running the video rooms).

[emeraldis]

Male Sailor Moon cosplayers? There was one at Anime Central 2003, and he was actually a mascot. 'Sailor Bubbah', I do believe. Disgusting: yes. Amusing?: Yes.
Most otaku's do indeed tend to be obese and unhygenical. I'm not obese, the last time I checked. -And you know, I bathe at least every other day.

I think.

[Sir_Brass]

I'm your other typical otaku: highly intelligent, hygenic (bathe once a day, brush teeth daily, hair well groomed, and yes I do use anti-persperant), lanky, GEEK! And yes, I wear glasses as well.

I'm one of those who fill out the ranks of "respectable otaku". the majority are "social outcast otaku" and lower end are the "scary and dirty otaku". thankfully the trashy end is a minority .

[edit]I may not be the most obsessed otaku (can we say "department of redundancy department"? ), but I AM very dedicated. Tomorrow I'll be spending a good part of the day in the AV lab helping the campus anime club president burn the club's collection from harddisk memory and CD-Rs, to DVD-R. Why? B/c with DVD-R, you can fit an entire 26 episode series that was encoded in high quality .avi format onto ONE DVD-R. Reduces physical SIZE of collection. easier to keep track of. Plus, it's a chance for me to listen to some OSTs that I have yet to listen to [/edit]

[emeraldis]

I would be your hardcore otaku, lots of friends, intelligent. [If I do say so myself.] And yes, a geek. I have my own social blob of otakus, Isaac included..

[ramennoodles]

yay! isaac included!

[emeraldis]

I'm having difficulty composing an X-mas list.
Anyone have any suggestions? [I enjoy all genres.]

[Will Wood]

YnM - My anime geek freind is really enjoying this one. I think she origanlly bought it simply because a Character in it (Watari) looked like Alex from Ceres... which was on of her obsessions for a while (she gets a new character obessions all the time.)

Yanari no M-something. I think. Not sure of title other than the initials lol.

It's about some gods doing stuff. I don't know, I don't really try to remember the stuff she tells me about it.. since this is generally not to my likings. Too much prettyness/cuteness in it.


It would never hurt to get more Naruto.

I'm not sure if you can get any DVD's, it's probably too new, but Full Metal Alchemst is cool, I'd recomend that.


I don't know if that list was what you owned our just what you liked. Get ALL of YYH if you don't have it. Make sure you get the unedited version.

Vampire Princess Miyu and Hellsing are two good vampire ones..
