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.

awwww, poo >_>

*goes to japan with patricia*

HA! ^_^

on that subject, patricia i havent seen you since december. ugh T_T
*begs dad to take mt to the mall*

...

*continues reading manga scans*

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Cassie, we should all meet up in Japan and go KARAOKING (I know, I just made up that word).

Then we'll go gorge on manga and anime and dating sims! WOOT.

[*lolita kitty*]

HAHA, that would be awesome!
its like... me you katie julia patricia... and other people
AHA, i can just picture it.

you know what sucks about manga scans?
when you;re in a sad part of the book, and you click on the next page, and it takes like 5 minutes to load. it just kills the mood, yah know?

[*islandgirl4eva*]

I do.

Boo to slow internet.
Yet, we must praise it for the magic of access to any and all info we need.


GOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH.

[rainnydaiis]

Instead of reading manga scans online why don't you just download them. Sometimes some site support bittorrent for manga scans so you don't have to wait =P

[Aoiro]

I don't know, I'm just addicted to manga scans.
At least I don't have to waste money on buying them.
Or even waiting for them to come out.

But it just isn't the same.
Lately I have been reading Kare Kano scans because I don't wanna buy them.
I don't get to go to Borders often, so yeah.

Need more scannns...

[rainnydaiis]

Haha what I always do is support the anime I freeloaded off of when it was in japan.. I don't know always watching subb'd animes and it saying please support this anime when it comes out.. I atleast buy the ost or like dvd's,mangas or last choice posters from them =P

But most of the time since I support them I'm broke and can't kick it with friends.. -__-;;

[HelplessCry]

Patricia : yes i did go to the philipines! :D twas fun indeed x3
Noami and Cassie omg i so wish to go to japan and karoake as well... im prepared.! ive been reading in GQ magazines that Tokyo is the number 1 hottest place to party and we can try this really big steak thing...which is really yummy and they like...intoxicate the cows with this special alcohol to make them more tender and softer then they kill them and they make thier meet like OMG haha you just have to try it...

oh no it feels like they killed Haru... x_x

[rainnydaiis]

I've been to japan before but it was when i was young.. I know like 3 or 4 people there who tell me its not that fun once you lived there for like 10 years

[CurlyBoy398]

I went to Japan to visit my sister about 4 years ago...
So AWESOME! I made up my mind after that I would be a game designer just so I could live in Japan! :] Dont know how it could EVER get boring...
:] I like scans personally because usually you'll have to buy at least 3 or 4 of the manga your reading just so you dont get stopped at a cliffhanger, but when your reading scans you just keep going... as for slow-internet I just use msn.groups so no download! :]
IM A GENIUS! -.- sort of...

[pahyphesis]

[*islandgirl4eva*]

We should start our own anime convention. That would be interesting. Haha.

Now if only it could be a reality.

[Aoiro]

woah! can I join too?

[*lolita kitty*]

YAY IM GOING TO PATRICIAS HOUSE TODAY!!!!!
[/random]

Oh, I took some of the manga scans and made some cool avatars and sigs out of them.
I shall post soon.

[*rtc_nospeakenglish*]

I have a couple of questions.

1. Where can I find torrents of jpop/jpunk/jrock artists?
2. Did SHUFFLE! end at ep 24?

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Wow.

That last comment killed this topic.

I SHALL REVIVE IT!
----------

What anime do you think should be made into a full-feature film?

[*lolita kitty*]

naomi is right. let us keep anime otakus alive *nods*
as for that question, me does not know


on the other hand:
YAY I WENT TO PATRICIAS HOUSE AND HAD FUN
we took pictures of sora and riku while she was playing kindgom hearts on her tv. twas funny.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

I've tried to take pictures of my TV. They never turned out good.

[*lolita kitty*]

Well, these came out pretty blurry as it is. But we just took the picture because they (sora and riku) were standing in this weird position and they were like "the usual? LETS DO IT!"
i couldnt help but laugh

[HelplessCry]

I dont know about what anime...but i know what game. besides ff7 i think FF8 would rock hard coreness...agree/disagree?

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Cassie, I swear, you're a white FOB. But you make it work for you

As for the games into movies, yes, I think FF7 & 8 would make great ones. I love the storylines from both of them...and the lead male characters we hott (yes, with 2 t's).

[F_L_I_P]

I read somewhere that Gackt was the model used for Squall from FF8. FF8 would be great if they made it into a movie.

-Phil-

[*lolita kitty*]

hehe, Naomi, I know
*points to new avatar and sig*
FRUITS BASKET! and yes, I like rin. and come on, who can resist the haru and rin avatar. he is so hott
hello phil *waves* ^_^

[rainnydaiis]

FF8 would actually make a good movie.. But I wonder if they would bust out card games int he movie =P. Because I loved the FF8 card game

[*islandgirl4eva*]

I never won that damn game.

I lose...big time.
