My fear? Otakus. They're annoying as hell, and think they're exotic and deep for obsessing over Japan. What's worse is that 9 out of 9 of them are usually ignorant to the fact that Japan had existed BEFORE the 1950's, and they assume all Japanese people act like Astro Boy.

Imagine an army of them marching onto US soil...we'll all suffer the sheer ignorance and shallow minded wrath of the Japanimaniacs. Be prepared.

1. That I will be murdered. (Murders are the worst way of dying X_x)
2. The world will run out of it's petrolleum supply
3. That humans will eventually blow up the earth
4. That I will not be able to stop myself from stalking and murdering Ai. oh wait... that's good... nevermind.....





1, 2, and 3 are very possible, though.

Thing is you compare the Japan today to it's glorious past it seems bit stupid. They have a great history and now all they seem to be remembered for is manga/anime, cars, electronic stuff and j-pop/rock

Not that I'm some expert

Well, were deeper than you are my friend, and for the record, Astro Boy is the most worthless crap to ever come out of Japan, so why would people think all Japan is like that?

We already have an army of Otakus on US soil. Their only weapon is harassing you in their blogs.

I'm starting to fear that I am cursed so that anything I want to be made is doomed not to be so. x.X

Eeep O.o yeah...people here would hate my guts though...cause I'd go with Japan. I might not have been born there but I WAS raised there. I liked living there a lot more than being here in America. Most of why I seem so much...well I don't know how to word it, but I will say that in Japan? People really ARE a lot more respectful to each other.

The years I lived in Japan I only knew of one person....ONE that went out of her way to bully and insult other school kids. Here? As soon as I walk in and it didn't change even years afterwards...kids were making UP stuff to pick at me about.

The crime rate in Okinawa is WAY lower than anywhere around here. Hell my dad almost got arrested one night cause someone THOUGHT he had a gun, but he didn't. He's just went into a dunkan doughnuts, didn't even get to the cash register before the police responded. Considering the time it happened...that's pretty damn fast reaction by the cops. Though, we could always make doughnut gags.

On the topic of Otakus? I may seem like one...but trust me...the majority of Otakus piss me off. Mind you, some I've met are ok...but most of them? Most pretentious, ignorant, annoying folks I've met.

It's loosely used as a person that likes Japan, but it's actually to describe a person that likes Japanese animation.

Oh...so what you're trying to say is that an otaku is a shallow-minded person who only loves Japan for anime? There's a HELL of a lot more to Japan than anime.

Well, of course there is. There's plenty of history that I'm sure otakus don't even know about, nor care to know. Then we have the modern world, which I know much about. I only know a bit of history, but I'll learn eventually.

You call yourself a teacher? More like a Domo Arigato! That's some word in Japanese that I'm sure would be offensive if I, like, knew what they ment. Now if you'll, like, excuse me, I gotta like, have a totally intellectual debate over who would win in like, a battle or something. Poke'mon or Digimon. My friend Roger-san is all like retarded and thinks Sailor Moon should be included but like, oh my god, he's like, stupid. Oh, crap! I'm like, late, to like, my appointment! Roger-san and I are like, shaving each others bellies while like, watching reruns of Yu-Gi-Oh.
And so, with Otakus allowed to breed, the world comes literally to a retarded end.
