Isn't a weeaboo or whatever, are they the fans that are like "Screw English dubbed anime, they all suck, the original Japanese with subs are better and will always be." Well, you get the point or am I wrong? Wrong! At least in my case. I prefer English dub anime. I am an otaku and gladly admit it, at least in this country. Calling yourself an otaku in Japan will get you funny looks. Perhaps you are confusing people like me with the anal types who are all talk on certain forums who more than likely have never been to Japan. I was unaware that there was a name for fans of Japanese culture. I am not surprised. There is a name for people who are fans of English culture. I confess that weeaboo is a silly sounding word. Haha. _________________________ Who ever said you can't buy happiness, wasn't an anime fan.

On another forum we have had a discussion on this phenomena. There are haters that love to hate. It's a waste of energy and time to behave that way or to converse with them. They have the personality type where they think they have to control the conversation. I ignore them. Why let them ruin my day. _________________________ Who ever said you can't buy happiness, wasn't an anime fan.

Gevin UPSF Captain Registered: 02/09/09 Posts: 1383 Loc: Houston, Tx	As far as I'm aware, an Otaku is only considered a person with an anime obsession in America. In Japan an Otaku can be a person with an obsession of anything. Typically such an obsession that causes the person to become a recluse from normal society. For a good point of reference, check out the weirdos in Princess Jellyfish. ;P _________________________

kiku UPSF Vice Admiral Registered: 06/13/11 Posts: 6158 Loc: Temporally Displaced	I don't know if I would be considered an anime otaku or not. I guess I wouldn't care if anyone were to call me that. I do watch anime almost every day. It gives me happiness and pleasure in my life. If I'm not avid enough to be considered an otaku, phew; and if I am... c'est la vie. _________________________ No matter where you go, there you are.
