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.

Oh they're not scans...they're summaries! do you still want them? i can give them to you in a couple of hours...right now i'm on someone else's computer

ohoh. i can't give you scans from chapters 102 and so on but i can give you some from volumes 12- 18

Yup yup, that's where I read my manga scans.

Does anybody know what is the last volume of Fruits Basket?
@________@;;

ok we'll keep it hush-hush lol, i'm glad you decided to just stick around and post in the club :) we're a nice happy family lol.


Oh hey don't worry about it :) No problem for updating the list or anything, it's a nice part of my day :) We missed you around here tho!


^omg julia i refuse to read those summaries...lol i don't want anything to be spoiled, lol so i have to stay away from that "fruits baskets" thread, because i know there are spoilers in there. lol. but ahh...i want to find out when I read it. But in a way I don't lol, cuz they are taking their sweet time to release all of them. lol

Hehe the last volume I have no clue but I don't usually go to sites to get scans... I usually just download them off mIRC raw... yeah I'm just weird like that Lolz =P

Thankyou so much Jooleeah-san. x3 omg its...exquisite!

there's scans on stoptazmo.com [up to 107].

Yay for Naomi staying!
:D <3

And the way Fruits Basket is being written, it will take forever until the last volume gets outs.
I'm guessing it'll finish in two years.
DX

That's good. We missed you :D<3
Yeah, I feel lame for just discovering it (fanfiction). But I really like it. I read a ton of fruits basket ones, and i even wrote an azumanga daioh one :D

hehe welcome back =P

Woah we have 55 now! How long was i gone ....?

-Phil-

I don't really know either because I disappear and come backa s well

Thank you, everyone. I missed you all, too.



I started out reading Sailor Moon fanfiction. Now my top three series to read are Sailor Moon (still), Inuyasha, and Fruits Basket.

I can't stop.

yes addiction rears its ugly head...i love it though x3

I WANT TO JOIN!!

Anime rocks! well though manga usually has more flow...

Haha, nice!
Big red letters.
You're in!
I'll just add ya right now.
Welcome to the Anime Otaku!
Hope you have lots of fun in here!

Curse ze double post.

^hahah that made me laugh :)
oh and thanks for adding the names and all to the list!
It really helps!
For a moment i forgot you could do that, but it's your own post :)
Thanks again !
Yes, and i'm addicted to Fruits Baskets. It's crazy. 0.0

I would read fanfictions but I'm in love with old animes these days.. I like rewatching all the classics that I use to watch... Like from 1999 and stuff =P... Yeah I'm weird

I don't read fanfiction because I almost never agree with them . Sometimes I do, and I end up glaring at the screen or something.

Hehe. I was just reading over the first AO topic and it makes me giggle. You can see how this forum gradually starts coming together, and [Sammy, Katie, Patricia, etc.] getting it all set up. Very cute. It makes my face squinch up in one of those "koochie-koo" faces. >_<

I read fanfiction. A lot of it. A lot of the time. THERE. I said it. DON'T JUDGE ME *ducks into corner*

Well, I used to, anyway, but ever since I started working, I simply don't have time for all that. I've even started a few, but I never finished. I have a short attention span when it comes to projects that require long term commitment. That are REALLY important to how I live my life. Haha.

I'm nto much of a fun of fanfiction.
Well, the ones I read are just weird.
I like taking quizzes that have storyline from Quizilla.
Seems much funner for me.
:D

Katie: Anytime, as always!
>w<

Naomi: That made me laugh!
xD~

Hahaha. I wasn't going to read all those scans and summaries....but I couldn't resist! Like you said, they're going to release the mangas in america :[ I'm not going to post spoilers, don't worry! My spoilers are like...hugeeeee...so I don't think I'm going to say them


No problem

Man i went to hot topic today and soo many nice jackets I wanted.. the samurai champloo one and the trigun one.. But I ended up buying a shirt that says "I love anime" and "Will work for anime"

I'm going shopping with Cassie nest week, so now I have an idea what to buy.


I NEED JACKETS.
JAAACCCKKKEETTSSS.

hehe Jooleeah. i just want to know....make everything clear...did Rin and Hatsuharu...do ....it....? o_O;;;
