What annoys me the most about otakus is that in some message boards, they write some "Japanese" stuff on their sigs and they probably don't even know what the hell they're writing.

Are you an otaku?

And I meant writing it in ENGLISH characters.

My favorite question? "What does Vegeta mean?"

I wanted to slap that kid. Just f*cking SLAP him.

Honestly, the otakus "vocabulary" usually consists of buzz-words such as:

Baka
Kawaii
Neko
Inu
Jya Matta ne
-san
-chan
-sama

And that's giving them credit. I swear, the next little cracker that calls me "gaijin" is gonna get his teeth kicked in...

I hate these kids who mix in Japanese words with English conversations. The next person who says "kawaii" in a sentence is getting their ass kicked. I'm serious. I hate it. You live in America. Speak English. If you're learning the language...awesome. Keep it to yourself.

EDIT: But then again, I sing lyrics to myself, so I guess I should kick my own ass.

If some little sh*t says "I hate that baka!" I want to kill them. If they're a serious student of the language and they say "Ano baka na hito ga sukijanai da yo!" then I'm a little less inclined to hate them, as they're displaying an actual knowledge of Japanese.

When they start saying full sentences, then I'll back off, but...they don't even know. It's so damn annoying.

I work at Suncoast Video, and it's apparantly THE hang-out for mentally-stunted otakus (mostly because we have a very large anime selection).

Some jerkwad was hassling a kid, who couldn't have been any older than 9, because she was pronouncing the word "sake" incorrectly. Most Americans pronounce it "sah-key", but apparantly that little punk couldn't handle it and started telling the girls that it was pronounced "sah-kay" and wouldn't leave them alone.

I walked over to him and told him, in Japanese, that Americans prnounce it "sah-key" and that he should just leave them alone.

Of course, his response was "OMG you speak Japanese! OMG that's so sugoi! LOL! OMG you watch Ranma!?!"

The point was lost on him and he wouldn't leave me alone.

I HATE OTAKUS.

Hilarious story. Damn otakus...oh, we'll get them someday.

As long as we're talking PPG, one of my favorite villains was "Abra Kadavar, the Magical Zombie". A shame they only used him once. There's a character I'd like to see animated a little more "realistically". Zombies in all shapes and sizes kick ass.

Hey! Us Otaku aren't THAT bad.... I don't go around saying words like Kawaii or Karai (which means hot/spicy BTW) or whatever..... I just watch Anime and write anime related fan fics and read the manga's.... Yes im a MAJOR Sailor Moon fanatic....I created a character named Sailor Krypton... Im also a Tenchi fan and a DB/Z/GT fan (Vegeta is hot!! )... I actually research what the names of the characters meant... I even had pet rats named Videl, Chichi, and Bulma... ... I do alot of research on stuff first....

I know plenty of sane Otaku...

Oh and here's a picture of Sailor Krypton..I might change her look tho:



She's part Gargoyle.... her mate is Lexington...

Ok, first off, I don't think that did any otaku much justice...

Second, how could anyone possibly like Vegeta??? He's an ass. Seriously. I've had about two people in my life that are like him, and they were pretty much jerk-offs. I came pretty close to kicking one of them in the groin...


Anyway... About two years ago I was on the road to otaku... and yes, it was scary...

I can agree that otaku are some pretty sick people...
I like sane people who have an appreciation for anime/manga... but I say NO to otaku.

Yes, I do like to occasionally watch anime and read manga... but for me, it's more of an appreciation for the art as an artist.



Anyway.... back on topic... I'm still really peeved about the Professor being so young and small...
I'll be so ticked if one of the girls developes a relationship with the professor. That's just not right.

Those previews for PPGZ were....interesting.... so they transform ala Sailor Moon???

As for Vegeta.... he may be an ass at times but he's got a soft side....he's a bit like Raphael.... tough exterior and a hot head, yet on the inside he loves his family and would do anything for em. Meh...I just think he's hot...*shrugs*.... I know other peeps who think that about Vegeta as well.....

This anime seems to have a very "Osamu Tezuka" kind of style.
