You're not too deep in the rabbit hole yet.I need to make sure they don't find out so I can keep up the appearance of normality.
I think hispters are pretty annoying, but oddly enough I'm fine with ironic/self aware hipsters.I watch a lot of foreign films in order to maintain my image as a pretentious, pseudo-intellectual snob, so I've gotten pretty good at simultaneously eating & watching subtitled entertainments over the years.
::sips tea with pinky out::
Hnnnnnnnngh.
But why does it have balls?
You're not too deep in the rabbit hole yet.
Don't throw it all away.
Is anyone else a closet otaku irl? I'm not ashamed of it as a hobby, but if my friends find out, i'm in for some societal consequences. And will probably labelled as "that guy" among my closeknit group of friends.
I need to find new friends.
Time to buy one of these to let all your friends and loved ones know what's up.But how long does one continue?
When I was 11, it was okay to like CCS, Gundamu and all that crap and talk about it with friends. But they've grown away from anime, while I kept at it through all those years. Here I am 9 years later, still acting like a "normal" person. I'm sick of it.
Nope. no closet otakuing here. I used to be, but then it kind of faded as time went on, really. Now everybody knows my love for jpop, animu, manga... though...You think just being into anime's bad? Wait till people get a whiff of VN from you. Even other nerds will start hating, there is no escape.
Did she buy it thinking you didn't watch much anime or something?My friend bought me a Mugi figurine as a joke. When I accidentally revealed that I knew the names of all the characters on K-On!!!!!! I think she realized I had actually watched the show.
But crucially, she doesn't know HOW MUCH.
Is Morita-san any good? I was thinking of checking it out given how short ep's are...
no I actually do find roaches cute.
Blah. I love all those things, except for jpop. Last thing I want someone to see is my copy of Koihime Musou.
But I mean.. how do you break it to them without it being completely awkward? Actually, no, scratch that. My friends are the type that will ruthlessly destroy a fellow friend over anything embarrassing. I can't even imagine admitting this hobby.
But we wouldn't have had things like FROGMAN's EAGLE TALON, like in the case of many other amateurs that want simple and cheap ways for transmitting a direct visual entertainment:I'm not sure why you're even defending Flash. The world would be better without its existence, because then people would be forced to put effort into keyframing shit the good old fashioned way.
http://tokyoscum.blogspot.com/2010/08/takekuma-festival.htmlFor example, Frogman can create a work at 1/10th the budget of Miyazaki and end up with something just as entertaining. He is afforded a large degree of freedom despite his work stipulations.
More to come from the special duo Mr. Yuasa/Ms. Choi! Patiently waiting for their work in the upcoming Dofus animated series (http://www.catsuka.com/news/2011-02...l-animation-7-long-metrages-et-autres-projets).Also, interestingly enough, they had Yuasa help out with character design in a flash-less OVA(Or something) that they did for the show.
honestly
thats a pretty badass hoodie
at least until you get close enough to see the moe
Live crickets? For yourself?Even my coworkers know I love anime.
I have brought cricckets to work as a snack before so they arent really surprised by anything i like.
CCS is a little overhyped here
I think the bag is the critical hit. At least with the jacket you can try camoflague outside.
There's nobody else to blame but yourself if you're not confident about defending your own taste.Everybody should stop trying to make anime unfun.
Amounting any sort of criticism to such a level is a bit insulting actually. It either bothers you or doesn't. Ultimately, you decide if it will or not. It's very much possible to enjoy something as much as you're critical of it.Honestly I really think you guys take a lot of the fun out of watching this stuff.
Kind of how like gaming side has taken al ot of the fun out of videogames. I dont really understand it. Maybe I just see things more simply. Its hard to enjoy anything when youre nitpicking it all the time.
I'd have to respectfully disagree. You can also be more aware of why you like "bad shows" ironically. Being informed doesn't have to change your attitude towards them.Although you lose the fun of being able to enjoy "bad shows" unironically, you do gain the entertainment value from watching and mocking "bad shows" with friends, and convincing other people to watch bad stuff as well to see their reactions.
Not sure what you mean.I see it on the gaming side too, people actively looking for things to hate about in a game. Being critical and being unable to please are not one and the same thing in my opinion.
Blah. I love all those things, except for jpop. Last thing I want someone to see is my copy of Koihime Musou.

It all depends on how far removed from reality you are really, Star Trekkies, who go out wearing their Spock uniform shouting clingon are pretty much damn unapproachable and need to be bitchslapped back to Earth.
*ahem*
Speaking of spock uniforms and other such nerd paraphernalia, this berzerkah costume is pretty cool.

Unfortunately the voyeurs were too busy peeping underneath the skirt of some random teeny cosplayers no doubt.

There is a soccer anime and an anime based on something similar to tennis this season. What more could you possibly want?

So. How long into the season do you think it will be before either a) American or b) Black Muscles come into play?
I'm sure this must have been already been posted recently, but still:Basterdized dub is the only way to go with CCS.
Too much clamp in the original, give me diluted clamp.
I'm sure this must have been already been posted recently, but still:
Nostalgia tiiiiime (Cardcaptors US OP)

To be fair, that's exactly how I've seen Sailor Moon, so I'm not really defending that series.
But Cardcaptors is awful, dude.
fixed.
Because it's so very painfully obviousWhy can't I unsee this?
Yes.When you say "other people" you mean me, right?
It must be awful living a lie.Here I am 9 years later, still acting like a "normal" person. I'm sick of it.
I try.Isn't that nice of you to say.
