8. Yes, on all counts. Not all anime fans are fucktards btw. Anime is just what initiated me to Japanese culture. Now I love it. :)

8. Admittedly, the reason why I started to take Japanese in high school was because I liked anime. But now that I've fallen in love with the language and the culture, and now that it's my minor (my college doesn't offer a major), I TOTALLY agree with you, and love this secret. XD Thank you.

13.) :[ I like her icons.
24.) Forget Russell being in Slytherin -- Gintoki being sorted into Hogwarts at all makes me LOL a lot. FIVE BUCKS SAYS SADAHARU ACTS AS HIS FAMILIAR AND EATS ALL THE OWLS

1. Hahah, I used to think the people who invested wayyyy too much emotion in their pairings and took offense and all of that were just lacking in their own love life :( Not that that applies to everyone, but it's a notion I used to previously hold!

7. AWHEJQ!@:@Q# I THOUGHT> THAT WAS SO HOT TOO. WTF

8. HAHAHAHAHAHAH. You're so sad.

9. I like both American comics and anime/manga, but both subfandoms seem to diss on each other :\ So I have to stay in ze closet, too.

11. Lol, such a pet peeve of mine.

12. :( He was so adorable. And...had tentacles.

18. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT'S A VERY HOT PICTURE YOU USED 8) That makes me miss playing Gai. The only character I never get sick of evar.

2. ... yeah, I think I know who this is!

15.) I never saw the point for dolls. I mean I guess they are nice and all but I can think of a great deal more things that I'd rather spend my money on then dolls that I personally think are ugly.

16. OHGOD I THINK I JUST SPLIT MY SPLEEN LAUGHING.
Hi Dorkling ♥
Did you do 22 too? XD

Gintoki does not have the MOTIVATION to be a wizard at all.. he'd use his magic powahs to get the latest issue of Jump.

2. Having been bitched at by a friend for not having played the game (I can't afford a GC and probably won't in the next few years) but according to her 'having the galls to compliment this OAV/it's animation when I know nothing about it'? I can relate.

However, it doesn't change the fact that I do know the game, and it's characters, and as a piece of animation, that OAV was beautiful. It's the same as the time Advent Children came out and FF7 fans were annoyed (myself included) but you know what? I still liked it for it. But that's just me.

Hope you don't have to go through a mean bitchfit for not being up on some game's canon just because you supposedly don't know about it. /tl;dr

8. I hate the elitist otaku -- of yeah, these exist in a bad way -- who insist they're not. I'm a gamer, have been one for years, anime came by extension of that. I cosplay. Sure Japan's a pretty place and is on my list of places I want to visit ... but I don't get this obsession people have with it. Whenever some elitist otaku who thinks they know Japanese wants to lecture me on the kanji or how the name is something else in Japanese and pronounced differently or whatever, I just politely explain to them that at least I don't pretend to know all things Japan because I might enjoy a few anime series. I'm beginning to believe that there are fewer and fewer people like me out there these days. Can't you enjoy something without having to become consumed with pretending to know its culture and language?

11. THANK YOU. That annoyed me in YGO fandom and still annoys me in KH. (FMA worked, because there were actual adults in that series.)

12. Davy Jones is the shit :D

14. I do too -- though I was barely able to get into choir as it were XD;

[identity profile] laserdragon.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
It's ok, 12. I'd hit that too.

[identity profile] mage-of-time.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
8. I love you, I think.

(I'm not that far in Japanese, but I'm trying my best, and that's better than a lot of people.)

[identity profile] drazzi.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
12: Much as I love all most of the characters in PotC ... yes. Word. Davy is so much kinky tentacle-sex loving. And I will gladly share him with you fight Calypso you for him.

Or at the very least, see all the Bleach spoilers in his head before anyone else 8D

[identity profile] glitterbats.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, although like you I'm starting to think our numbers are dwindling.

[identity profile] imouto.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
6. Acid! Yeah? :D

I'm going to buy a PSP with my next paycheck just for that and Portable Ops. I can't bear to stare at the games all day at work anymore. XD

He pretends his wand is a zanpakutoh. *coughs* and probably even names it.

(Anonymous) 2007-06-16 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
13. Yeah, I know what you mean. The stuff she has in her userinfo about it is pretty ridiculous. So who is llenka, and what pairing are they batshit crazy about? XD

[identity profile] offensive.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
4. I took the community off my default view months ago, which is sad, since I used to love and adore the comm so much. It was like, the first LJ comm I ever joined D:

14. Me too >.>

2. You know, your martyr complex gets old really fast.

[identity profile] pimmy.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
8. im always afraid to tell people im trying to learn japanese cus they mught get that idea of me! XD it took me a couple years and home-made flash cards to finally be able to read kana good. im proud :( (though it probably took forever cus i wasnt too serious about it early on) i just really wanna learn a second language, and this one has proven to be FAR more fun than spanish, and it is also relevant to my interests so yey lol.

12, darling, whoever you are, you are not alone.

I cried when he died. I didn't when Will died. I kinda wish Jack had died.

You are not alone.

2. I personally hate the fact that you can pair Lloyd up with any of the characters, in the game. Sure, it added depth to each character, but I hate having to play through the game more than once just to hear the conversations between all my favorite characters.

I haven't watched the OVA dubbed yet (I'm half lazy and only downloaded the RAW XP) but it looks like it's turning out quite well. :o

8. I learned the proper pronunciation, katakana, hirigana, kanji and grammar (well, enough grammar for a 3-year-old) of the Japanese language so I could at least respect the language. And I'm not even in a lot of Japanese fandoms anymore.

25. Actually, I can kinda see where you're coming from. And being slashed by yaoi fangirls is not sounding fun by any means.

Generally in fandom the internet in general I try and act as androgynous as possible so people don't make stupid assumptions/hit on me/etc. =\

8. I know just enough Japanese to be able to catch some simple sentences. That makes me happy :) I don't think it's fair to bash everyone who became interested in Japanese via anime--the ones who end up really learning it will learn loads of other stuff too. Those who stick with it have a good deal of perseverence, imho. It's the ones who take a year of Japanese and pretend they know it all that are annoying.

10. Oh my god!! I loved that show! I only remember enough to know I loved it, but I did!

19. Yeah, seriously. The only mashed-name pairing that I don't loathe is Mcshep from Atlantis, for some reason. The rest just seem really stupid.

21. Wow. I only wish I knew enough lore to have some idea why he's so interesting.

25. That sounds really rough. Sorry, man. I don't think you're sick, though, there's only so much idiocy a person can take.
