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.

[rainnydaiis]

I haven't used money on anime in forever I just tend to use it for food and stuff these days...

[SarahxJoy]

^Yeah same here.
I can't drive yet, but if I could, I'd be going to the video and book stores, stocking up on manga and anime DVDs every weekend or so.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

I'm trying my best not to spend too much money now.

Besides. Now I'm spending too much on clothes! I need to stop >.<

[SarahxJoy]

Lol.

I just..

Need money.

Period.


My mom won't let me get a job.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Besides the fact that you get money, jobs suck.

[rainnydaiis]

I had a few jobs and I did not enjoy any of them PERIOD!!

[SarahxJoy]

I'd either want to work at Starbucks, Borders, B&N, or Target. ..or something like those places.

I dunno, but I'd want a job at a place where I would enjoy the atmosphere. But then again, working with easy-to-be-around people would probably help a lot.

[HelplessCry]

WOOHOO! to the unemployed people...naming me! i still have to get my G1 and its been 3 months passed my birthday but since the test costs so erfen much i need to save money (which sadly i dont have) for the test.
so i cant by any manga...i still need to buy the latest serie of Fruits Basket. :[ and the only thing thats sustaining me is my subscription to shojobeat <3
then theres all these new games coming out and new systems...
ps3, Kingdom Hearts 2(YES I STILL NEED TO BUY IT)its been out for two months already too, SuperSmash Brothers2 :starring: SNAKE lmao.and Final Fantasy 7 advent children english dubb version. omg achk... the life of an unemployed person T_T;

yes its been awhile sammie :3

[*Indiscriminate Soul*]

WOOHOO! to the unemployed people...naming me!

I'm unemployed too. I wish I wasn't though. Most my friends are employed.

I'd either want to work at Starbucks, Borders, B&N, or Target

I applied to Borders once but they didn't reply. I called in and they said interviews were during the day on Mondays, and they're only looking for people to work during the day. Basically, the time when I'm at school. -_-' *sighs* Oh well.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

I applied at Barnes & Noble. Yeah, they never replied. It broke my heart. My poor 16 year-old heart (at the time).

[talcumpowder]

They people already think I work there... o.o I told the crazy story about the employee who walked up to me and asked me where to find something. He was embarrased. 'twas funny. My daddy "works" in the Target electronics section. He even has a properly coloured shirt!
And my friend would never, ever let me apply at a Starbucks. -thinks- He still won't let me buy coffee... He barely lets me buy the pasteries (for fear of airborne coffee particulates). The carrot cake muffins there are gooood...
I need manga. -looks at manga box, winces- I've read everything in that box at least four times. =X I want Earthian 3 or something.

[Stuckie]

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Alright everyone, please welcome our newest member [#86], Stuckie!

Glad to see more people around with an avid interest in anime. Feel free to post a lot, ask questions, and get to know everyone! Don't be shy, we don't bite.

bad

[talcumpowder]

Or in my case, I don't bite people I don't know. Don't worry, I don't have sharp teeth! Yes, that was a welcome. Now go wonder how sane I am.
No wait. I'm insane. Therefore, I am very, very sane. And you're all just sane.

[*Indiscriminate Soul*]

Alright everyone, please welcome our newest member [#86], Stuckie!

Welcome Stuckie!
Glad to see more people around with an avid interest in anime. Feel free to post a lot, ask questions, and get to know everyone! Don't be shy, we don't bite.
So...what was the first anime series you watched? Anyone can answer. What is it about anime that sparked your attention?

I think the first anime series I watched was Sailor Moon. I didn't actually watch all the episodes. I just kinda saw some of it and decided the style of art interested me. What I like the most about anime is the art. I love drawing anime eyes. I absolutely love looking at beautiful anime like X/1999 for instance.

oops. I guess I forgot to put quotes around this:

Sorry about that. XD Resume.

[KissMe2408]

When I asked for an application at Borders last year, they told me I couldn't apply cuz I wasn't 18, and they found that the younger kids would look at the dirty magazines. 0.o

yah..okay.

[talcumpowder]

-thinks very, very far back- Kimba or Astroboy.
I watched it because that was pretty much all we had. We didn't get any channels that showed cartoons really... Except for those kiddy show line-ups that I never got to watch. Err... Too much American. =X My dad doesn't let me watch many American cartoons... -thinks for a bit- I hardly watch any. They're a little... Eh, for me at least. So yeah, I grew up with anime. Probably why I'm so into it now... x.X
-coughs- I won't say anything about the time we got kicked out of B&N and why...

[HelplessCry]

oh yeah thats what i meant sammie heh heh heh... x]

[Stuckie]

Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon were the only ones I knew. I started dating this girl that was into Anime. She had DVDs of Anime shows in Japanese so I never understood what they were saying. When we broke up I started getting into anime and the music as well. Some of my favorites are Samurai Champloo, Fullmetal Alchemist, Naruto, .hack, and Ghost in the Shell: SAC.

[KissMe2408]
