so who here is one?

I am an otaku and trust me we don't act like that.

A true otaku would be worse.

time to go to google so I understand the context.

edit: I have returned. I am not one.

Carl-E · « **Reply #4 on:** 05 Nov 2009, 18:51 »

My only obsessive fandom is with this webcomic.

Maybe a few others, too.

But it ain't otaku level, that's for sure!

I hang out with Otaku. Can't say that I am one, though. Even though I enjoy anime I tend to only watch it in anime club. If you give me a series to watch on my own, have fun waiting for me to finish. We dropped Code Geass from our line up a year ago and I've been 8 episodes from finishing since August....

YOU DID WHAT!!!??????

Zero would like to have a few words with you.....

Theriandros · « **Reply #9 on:** 09 Nov 2009, 06:00 »

Speaking of kings...

I stopped taking Code Geass particularly seriously after the "chess game" between Lelouch and Schneizel. Having been a tournament player in my youth, that was absolutely ridiculous to me. (Same with the exchange over moving the king first in that chess scene during the premiere episode, but I excused it as it was silly but LEGAL)

Dliessmgg · « **Reply #10 on:** 09 Nov 2009, 06:41 »

You took something serious with a character named Schneizel?

Schneizel is a legitimately Germanic-sounding name, which could reference the German houses of Hanover and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who supplied quite a number of British rulers.

Dliessmgg · « **Reply #12 on:** 10 Nov 2009, 01:15 »

And then there's that.

Theriandros · « **Reply #13 on:** 10 Nov 2009, 09:16 »

*cough*

Like I said, Germanic sounding, but admittedly not actually German. The writer(s?) took liberties with the Brittanian names (For simplicity, I'm taking the dub names). There's Germanic names (Bismarck Waldstein, Jeremiah Gottwald, Diethard Ried), French (some phonetic) names (Lelouch and Rolo Lamperouge, Prince Clovis), Greek-origin names (Euphemia, Odysseus), possibly Russian names (Anya Alstreim, and Monica Krushevsky in the original, dubbed to the Polish Kruszewski). Hell, there's as many non-English names as there are English names.

I do find a Brittanian prince named Clovis to be pretty bad, though, especially in a timeline where the French took over the English homeland.

None of them are as bad as being named after food.

To be honest, I can't really remember Heavyoak.

I've had it for close to three to four years now. Not entirely sure, but I think a friend sent it to me via MSN once.

But don't quote me on that.

I've a feeling I am not otaku simply because I was exposed to Animé and the like too late for it to bind me. That plus I look really silly with long white hair, and the ears wouldn't stay in place.

No, I really don't think I need suggestions on how to remedy that last problem.

Carl-E · « **Reply #26 on:** 21 Nov 2009, 16:25 »

Anime didn't bind me, either.

At least, not enough that a good salad didn't help.

JD · « **Reply #27 on:** 21 Nov 2009, 16:28 »

I used to be really into anime and manga. Then I moved. I think I was really into because my friends were.

Does that make me a social otaku?

an elastic band will keep the ears on your head.

raoullefere · « **Reply #30 on:** 24 Nov 2009, 03:08 »

Oh, come on. Give me a little credit. The problem with the band as that it works best going under the chin, where it looks and I asked, didn't I ask, that no one encourage this?

Sigh

Besides, even if I work that out, there's the eyebrows.

are you trying to cosplay as inuyasha?

I think it's pretty clear I'm trying not to cosplay as Inuyasha. Trying really hard.

Yes, that would be worse. Much worse—almost as bad as wanting to be Fluffy.

Actually, I've been defigmentized. A very painful process, as it turns out. But no more figments. Instead, I now have delusions. So, rest easy—you're not a figment of my imagination, but a delusion of my mental instability, which means you'll last longer. Much longer.
