Definition

Some people get confused or don't really know the complete definition for "Anime" or "Otaku" is. So here are the definitions to help you out!

Anime: a style of animation originating in Japan. It is sometimes referred to by the portmanteau Japanimation. Anime is characterized by stark, colorful graphics and stylized, colorful images depicting vibrant characters in a variety of different settings and story-lines, aimed at a wide range of audiences. Anime may be broadcast on television, distributed on media such as DVDs or published as console and computer games. Anime is usually influenced by Japanese comics known as manga.


Otaku: a variety of geek (or an overly obsessed fanboy / fangirl) specializing in anime and manga.

KID FROM YAKITATE IS BRAD PITT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Robbi was in the AO?
Ah wells, welcome anyways.
n-n

Haha. For some reason, so did I. Oh well. I'm glad she is.

I need to get off these scanlations, guys. They've got me hooked, and I'm losing sleep.

Oh no...

I'VE BECOME A SCAN JUNKIE!!!!

it happens to the best of us Naomi...the best of us....

Hehe. Thanks for the comforting.

I was thinking again. I don't really feel that comfortable in cbchat anymore. Maybe we should start one just for our otakus? But then again, when is there ever a large number of us on at one time?

Hmmm, I think we should go for anime night again sometime soon. Like, this summer. If we start planning now, it might work out better, right?

Haha naomi your a scan junkie... I'm a anime ost whore -__-;; I literally downloaded like 25 ost albums this week... including all the anime episodes I downloaded which are like 15... so i dl'd quite a bit

And Hentai!! o.O haha jk jk

HAHAHA. You called yourself a whore. Hold on...

.
...
.....
.......

Okay. I had to catch my breath after that laugh. Seriously, I can just hear you calling yourself a whore. OMG. So funny

You say you're joking about the hentai, but I know you're not. o_O

*stare*

oh man finally someone like me
i download soo many sountdtracks lol
about the same amount lol

You know i dont even download alot of anime. Not even soundtracks! o.o the only one im downloading right now is an old favorite. I download more J-Rock than i do with anime . Im not fit to be an Otaku! T___T

-Phil-

Start DLing anime/ost's, QUICK!

Iooono Remember alot of them are poppish! Gimmie an Anime OST with Jrock. Note i already have FLCL and Beck album

-Phil-

Haha. I know, silly P-chan. You're so anti-pop.

lkjslakjslAJSa

<---is an ost junkie

As for OSTs, I love the pretty whimsical songs. I mean, yes, Jpop is nice, but the ballads KILL me...make me cry, as a matter of fact. I heart them.

btw, check out the new avatar. Teehee, and the profile info beneath it. It makes me giggle!

What are OSTs?




I'm kidding. hahaha.





No, really. What are they?





I'm still joking.




Or am I really?

Just in case OST's stand for Original Sound Tracks ^^

And OVA's (Reffering to anime episodes) are Original Version Anime... <--- makes no sense but don't ask me why its like this... I'm not Kami-Sama I don't know everything... -__-;;

Anyways yes rose I called myself a whore.. So what ^^

And stop staring at me... You perv o.O

Gosh, look at all the lovely new anime otaku banners.
Makes lil ol' Katies eyes twitch from the sheer beauty of them. =)

Oh if any of you were wondering, usually I wait a few days before updating them to the front page, so people can keep track of all the new banners and stuff.

Hate to sound like a pest, but how is the fanfic judging going?

Oh its done ^^. And I'll be posting up the results real soon... ^^

Sorry for the delay!! it was a really close one ^^
