The Anime Reality

Hey guys, check out the Fansub TV Network forums! They’re faggots, let’s take a look.

Don’t you guys ever wish you were a member of the superior race known as the Japanese? Well, you’re not alone!

It’s hard being an anime fan in North America or anywhere else other than Japan. Living a life of subtitles and shitty dubs. If only i were Japanese, i could watch an endless amount of anime and understand it perfectly, i some times wish i were Japanese, do you?

I would prefer to be american, thw way I am now. Why? Because I look forward to learning Nihongo, becoming familiar with its culture, and getting to the point where someone says “Woa, your Japanese is soo good, yet your a foriener!” Probabbly because I would never even reveal that I knew the language until I obliterated 70% of my accent. I really don’t want to appear as an otaku, simply by my dress or speech.

i kinda wish i am a japanese whenever im watching animes and other japan stuff =p but come to think of it why not? i can see more advantages of being one…

i dont wish to be a japanese, but i do with to be an anime character!

And of course, every anime forum needs its own post your picture thread so the members can show off their neckbeards and fedoras.

I hear they're huge in Japan

It's pretty bad when your default facial expression is "anime fag."

Hmmm, better get as much of my neckbeard as possible into this shot.

Just hangin' out.

Practicing for the big show at the anime con.

God dammit, I missed Naruto!!!

God damn, that face.

Remember this angry young furry kid? His rant is one of my personal favorite videos on this site.

He posted an update not long after that video, elaborating on his views of the furry fandom and his involvement and (poor) understanding of what it entails. Heh.

Enjoy. (Don’t miss his sweet wolf shirt.)

Thanks, Nick!

Look closely behind him. His dad is watching this.

Come to me, my Asian princesses.

A few months ago we featured ClearTranquil, a white cosplayer who roamed the streets of Tokyo dressed as a vocaloid. We first featured his room in the Anime Shrines series, which later led to more info on him and his journey to the Oniichanland. Recently, I was checking out his blog and found this post about his trip that I had somehow glossed over before:

When we got to the bottom of the mountain this is where the story gets amazing. We transferred trains and the same group of about 5 girls got on the same car with us again. We got a few train stops down the track when I started to hear them singing. They were singing World is Mine by Hatsune Miku, just a verse. I was like, “Holy crap are they really singing that?” and then they started to sing Meltdown by Kagamine Rin. Billy was like, “Sing with them!”, so I did! I started to hum along to their song (I was a few meters away) and one of them stopped and turned to me and then they ALL stopped and turned to me. I said, “Kagamine Rin” and they started getting excited. One of them said something to me in Japanese and I just pointed to myself and said, “Kaito Cosplay” and they started getting even more excited. It was like, “What’s this? A gaijin knows VOCALOID?”.

So as if they weren’t hysterical enough they went completely off the walls and screaming when I showed them a picture of myself in cosplay that Billy happened to have on his phone. Without that I don’t know what I would have done. They were literally screaming and grabbing the phone from me. Then others came from the train to see what the commotion was about. I had to sign English text-books for them and notebooks. They insisted I shake their hands and I said “sayonara” to them and they got all excited again. I gave out my website URL so I hope they find this post alright.

I want to start off by saying that I have no fucking idea what this is. Really, this is one of the worst things we have found. Part cult, part internet-swordsmen circle jerk, the Grays is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever come across.
