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.

[Aoiro]

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

[*islandgirl4eva*]

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!!!!

[HelplessCry]

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

[*islandgirl4eva*]

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?

[rainnydaiis]

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

[*islandgirl4eva*]

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*

[rAwritsgWeg]

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

[F_L_I_P]

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-

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Start DLing anime/ost's, QUICK!

[F_L_I_P]

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

-Phil-

[*islandgirl4eva*]

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

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

lkjslakjslAJSa

<---is an ost junkie

[*islandgirl4eva*]

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!

[annalucky]

What are OSTs?




I'm kidding. hahaha.





No, really. What are they?





I'm still joking.




Or am I really?

[rainnydaiis]

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

[KissMe2408]

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.

[*digital.fragrance*]

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

[rainnydaiis]

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

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

-Phil-

[annalucky]

I say the abnormally talented like the person who posted above me can't join because if they do, it's not even a contest anymore. ahaha. j/k j/k.

[*digital.fragrance*]

[rainnydaiis]

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Oh, I want to help plan that!

[F_L_I_P]

lol Sammy\'s right. we haven\'t seen each others work yet. Lets wait till the contest come :D

-Phil-

[rainnydaiis]

Yeah just because we've seen phils work doesn't mean hes the best. We might end up seeing some crazy art work!

[*digital.fragrance*]

I often look off of another person's artwork and create an almost duplicate image... (NO TRACING), but I"m wondering if that's okay... considering I did it all.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Please welcome Member #80, THE MAGIC RABBIT.

WELCOME TO AO!

[*ranniel*]

Welcome to Anime Otakus! I'm Ranniel.
Feel free to PM me, The Magic Rabbit, if you have any concerns.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Hey everyone, I want you to meet my new boyfriend. Gin-sama

[talcumpowder]

^ If I didn't know better, I'd say he looks like the ushi-boy from Furuba (c'mon, you can figure that out!). But he has too rounded of a chin. XD I'm so lucky to be insane enough that I've been exposed to bish for so long that it's not so effective anymore. The bish-spell as I called it once.
Oh yeah... And thank you Ranniel for the wicked cool banner! Gah, if I could draw anything beyond a face.... I'd totally join the next one! But alas, I can't draw to save my life. The last time an art teacher tried to get me to draw "with depth" and something not chibi... It looked like a terrible monster of an object!
On a completely random note... Doesn't anyone know the lyrics to Vanilla (by Gackt). Okay, if you do... I think it's a funny song. Funny to hear my friends listen to it and say "so what's he saying?" and I have to try and say it with a straight face.
Okay, enough ranting from Reili. Your turn!

[F_L_I_P]

^2 HOT

-Phil-

[rainnydaiis]

OMg Rose since when did you start cheating on me with those sexy guys -__-;;...

I know I can't match up to them T.T

[F_L_I_P]

I know the lyrics to vanilla! But not that well I have to be listening to the music to remember :D

-Phil-

[*islandgirl4eva*]

^ If I didn't know better, I'd say he looks like the ushi-boy from Furuba (c'mon, you can figure that out!). But he has too rounded of a chin. XD I'm so lucky to be insane enough that I've been exposed to bish for so long that it's not so effective anymore. The bish-spell as I called it once.

You are lucky. Bishies are delish. I love them. And no...he's from a different manga. LOL.

^2 HOT

-Phil-

I know.

OMg Rose since when did you start cheating on me with those sexy guys -__-;;...

No no no! I'm not cheating! I meant "boy that is a friend" boy-friend. See?

Rachael - I don't think that it is a problem, as long as it's not traced and you have some sort of originality in it.

[F_L_I_P]

I just noticed .... the pinned topics are more active than the forum topics o.o

-Phil-

[*islandgirl4eva*]

^^ You're right. I'm going to make it my goal to post in AO at least 10 times a day, and less than 50% of those posts are not allowed to be in the pinned topics.

I'm somewhat the same way actually. I love drawing anime characters and making up my own characters as well. You can find some of my pictures in Periscopic Dome below.

I'd like to join too please ^_^.

[Hikari Blaze]

Woot! #82! ^^

I really like some mangas more than the anime. Fruits Basket and DNAngel, they were made 90% different from the manga. >_<

[*ranniel*]

Woot! More members. Welcome Newbies, I'm Ranniel!

[F_L_I_P]

We should have a kareoke contest soon too :X

The biggest percent of Otaku members are girls right? on the count of all the bishie and yaoi threads. just asking :D

-Phil-

[*lolita kitty*]

This thread moves fast.

[rainnydaiis]

Every new thread moves fast but once it gets to like 15 it slows down a bit..

[*ranniel*]

Wow, our AO club has really grown. Way to go to everyone who helped make Anime otakus a successful part of cB!

[marzipan]

oolala?

[KissMe2408]

haha kareoke contest!
that sounds awesome haha.
don't know how that would work, but that'd be pretty coool.

[Aoiro]

-sighs-
Gaia's bee so addicting, that I don't get to come here a often.

-Phil-

You know, that may be true. I have no idea, lol. I do, however, think that the larger percent of ACTIVE AO members are female.

*cough*BEMOREACTIVEGUYS*cough*

Wow, our AO club has really grown. Way to go to everyone who helped make Anime otakus a successful part of cB!

I've noticed that, too. It's great that you acknowledge that as well. YAY FOR US!

-sighs-

Shame on you, Patricia. BE AGGRESSIVE! B-E AGGRESSIVE (in the AO).

[F_L_I_P]

:being as active as he could: >.<

-Phil-

[*digital.fragrance*]

Yay Phil! You and Ranniel are like the only guys really active in this thread.

Since we're so close to 100... I think another Anime Night should be iniated.... or a spam fest thread! That would attract even more members... but we'd need permission first.

[KissMe2408]

^lol that spam fest thread, we MIGHT not get permission for. But we'll think of something. That 100 members thing is going to be awesome.
We really need to get the fanart thing started too

[*Indiscriminate Soul*]

haha kareoke contest!
that sounds awesome haha.
don't know how that would work, but that'd be pretty coool.

You know, that might not be so bad over the internet. Otherwise, I'm a pretty bad singer I think. I barely know how to sing any songs. There's only one anime song I know how to sing and it's from Outlaw Stars. I've never even seen a single episode of that show. I tried learning Sound Life from Trigun. It didn't go too well. Neither did learning the opening song for X/1999...or any other Japanese songs for that matter.

[F_L_I_P]

Now that you mention that ... i dont really know any anime songs o.o if it only included J-music >.<

-Phil-

[*islandgirl4eva*]

<random>

RACHAEL.

</random>

[rainnydaiis]

I would be a lot more active here... But thing is... I have a lot of stuff going on. And I get so caught up with chatting to a special someone during the nights taht I forget to get on ^^ HAHA!!!!

[*islandgirl4eva*]

^^

I wonder who dat be!

Are you cheating on me?

[KissMe2408]

Wait....huh..
Who is it?!
I'm curious now...this special person.

Is it you Naomi?
ok i'll stop prying hehehe.


Rachael =(
