Otaku? (+ some not-so-random bishies)

You don't get it right? Thats cos only hardcore, obsessive fans would. Don't argue with me on that. (This is one of the many epic designs from Detour Design on Cafepress, click to go there.)

Now, I thought ‘otaku’ was just a word for someone who is obsessed with something, yes it’s more commonly connected to anime/manga etc, but thats not the proper-proper use, is it? In Japanese its a word for someone with an obsession for a certain area(there are other meanings I’m aware of too, its also a suffix like -san/-dono/-chan etc which I wasn’t as aware of lol), but some still want to use it just for anime/manga/eroge obsessions. After becoming a fan of anime/manga when I was 13(I think…) I wasn’t really aware of the use of otaku at all, why would I be? I live in a country that once wrote off most Japanese cartoons as pornographic thanks to Urotsukidoji lol. That was then though, this is now. Much more accepting of it… I think lol.
I’ve always been… easy to get obsessed with something, when I was ickle, it was Dalmatians, thanks to 101 Dalmatians. Favourite Disney movie of all time, and will remain that way, for mostly sentimental reasons I think lol. But that lasted with me, and still is with me now really, until I was 9 or so, when Pokemon arrived, and Pokemon is still with me now lol, can’t wait for Soul Silver to come out!! Am soooo tempted to import… even though there’s only a couple of weeks in between US & UK releases… still seems unfair that we have to wait…

I’m sorry… I’m so so sorry….

I’m a bad blogger…. a very bad blogger…. I up and leave for a month n a half(thought it was longer than that actually…) with no explanation…. I *think* I can safely blame Twitter. It’s eaten up hours of my life… and I can’t understand why lol… but BOY does it feel good to be typing longer than 140 characters without it flashing up a red message! I’m so so so sorry…. I’ll make up for it… I will… I’ll watch lots of hentai and read lots of H-doujinshi! And it’ll all be better!!

Here, she's got most of her chest on display. Its a start....

Not only that… I’ve been a terrible otaku…. been keeping up with hardly any anime… I hate the internet at my uni….. cos torrents go SO SLOWLY….. means I either have to watch streams or download them *very* slowly…. which sucks ass… I haven’t even been keeping up with figure releases. I’m just glad I have figures preordered lol. Alter Yui, MF Nanoha Movie Figma, CM Corp Haruka, and another one I think…

What My Top 5 TV Shows Say

The guy who's succeeded in making me wanna pay full price for DVD's, the one, the only, JJ Abrams.

GAWD picking these were HARD. Bloody awful. Even only counting live action tv series, so discounting Futurama n stuff from the mix, didn’t help much. From a list I got down to 12. Picking  just 5 was evil… EVIL. I should do one for american, one for british stuff really. This list isn’t though, its a mix of all. In no order. Can’t pick a favourite, love em all for different reasons. (I had to leave out Friends!! And Grey’s Anatomy! And Scrubs! And so many awesome shows….

• Dr Who
• Early Edition
• How I met your Mother
• Lost
• Supernatural

This list says… well I’m not sure… its a random mix of… well… scifi, slice of life/fantasy, backwards rom com, mystery/scifi/fantasy/mind-fuck and mancandy-fanservice/horror lol. You can read what you like from it. Its far to eccletic to make any sense out of lol. The full list might be easier to understand. All I know is that I love them. Again, for different reasons. Dr Who is like… a combo of childhood nostalgia combined with my favourite actor being in it for 3/4 years lol. Early Edition, nostalgia again, was a tv show I always remembered, always recalled, but didn’t remember the name and retain that information till early this year I believe. HIMYM is fluffy and lovely and cheeky and funny and LEGENDARY. Lost is just… well its Lost. Like marmite, you love it or you hate it, I’m of the former state of mind. Totally in love with the series, so much so I can barely see past its faults lol. And Supernatural. Only in the last year have I become a fan of this show, and boy do you become a fan. Total fangirl for it. TOTAL fangirl. Someone was right when saying some shows have viewers, some have fans, supernatural has the latter.

Full list of favourite shows below the cut. By all means, bash my taste lol. I won’t mind, but I’ll bash back hehehe.
