anime
4-8-2002
Ok, i guess there is no more denying it. I am an anime otaku. What
is an otaku? Go watch otaku no video (its good!). But i realize that
i am totally addicted to anime. I love it. I love the art style. I
love the creativity. I love the fanservice (when its tasteful). I
love the cuteness. But in any case, in the past year, i think i've
crossed the line. From being a casual viewer to a rabid fan. I wanna
buy the cool trinkets that come with anime, from posters to wallscrolls
to keychains to trading cards to soundtracks to artbooks and on and on
and on and on . . . I love the romance in maison ikkoku (as compared
to the real thing), the action in cowboy bebop, the comedy of
irresponsible captain tylor, the ecchi sillyness of golden boy, the
screwedupness of evangelion, and of course, the super saccharine ultra
kawaii cuteness of shows such as card captor sakura and kokoro
library. I went into anime withdrawl over spring break. I would wake
up every day craving to watch anime. You wouldn't believe how good i
felt watching dirty pair flash on sunday science fiction night on kteh.
After that, the break went all down hill. I was bored. I didn't want
to do anything. There was a hunger inside of me, and eventually i
snapped. I went back up to Berkeley on thursday instead of saturday
like i had planned (my computer and anime is in berkeley). and life
was good again. all you people who yelled at me for not staying down,
who ketp on saying "lets do something" and never doing anything,
screw you. you guys suck. next time i go down to fremont, i'm not
calling anyone or telling anyone i'm back (except amy, to get back my
kkj cds). oh yea, back to the subject. anime=good, people=bad. so
who wants to watch some anime with me? :)
