The Anime Reality

Manga University is apparently one of the many companies responsible for flooding your bookstores with How to Draw Manga DESU! and Learn Anime Japaneseu! books. Apparently they decided to try making an anime web series based around learning Japanese.

The episode is pretty terrible, but you have to give them credit for openly acknowledging their main customer base is full of ignorant kids that obnoxiously fetishize a foreign culture.

Pretty much every anime forum has some kind of subforum dedicated to nothing but roleplaying. In these hugboxes, fat smug nerds can let their inner pre-op catboy Goku roam free and pretend to be something other than simply another suburban keyboard warrior. Let’s take a look at the epic tales these master storytellers are writing. (continue reading…)

Most of you have probably seen the previous video of VenusAngelic, where she basically becomes the worst thing in the world for two minutes and eight seconds. Unfortunately, the rabbit hole on this girl goes far deeper.

She's fucking 18 years old

Apparently she maintains her own website, complete with its own Facebook fanclub filled with sperglords that fantasize her as their anime dream girl come to life. According to her site bio, she has no Asian ancestry, but apparently grew up “Japanese” because:

Q: When did you get interested in Japan and why?
A: I raised with it – my mom cooked mostly japanese. It seemed usual for me, being interested on Japan. We also looked to Japanese movies on TV and slept on futon.

There are a few explanations for something like this. In going from most likely to least likely:

1.) She’s bullshitting to try and give herself some minor pass to act like a spergin weeaboo

2.) Her mom is also a spergin weeaboo

3.) Her mom had some exposure to Japanese culture and tried to integrate it into her own daily life

Her website is where she primarily places up all her blurry cosplay pictures and even has a shitty memory card game consisting of pictures of her. Considering how many down votes her videos get, I’m pretty sure she gets a ton of shit talkers posting comments and sending her emails. This has probably caused her to try to reinforce her retarded image of herself by insisting everyone be nice and only send her nice questions/comments.

IT'S NICE TO BE IMPORTANT, BUT ITS MORE IMPORTANT TO BE NICE.

Her videos seem to only consist of two different categories: Bad make up tutorials about how to look more kawaii Japaneseu desu ^_________________^ and these vlog type videos where she basically repeats as many anime catchphrases and gimmicks as she can in her hideous “anime girl’ voice.

Her actual blog isn’t too different either.

This was too much for my chibi stomach! Chewing was diffcult too, because there was a lot to chew! You know, my mouth already hurted! TT_TT But its ok now. ITS OK. At least the burger was really good. To be honest: The burger was better than any McDonalds burger!! And the fries, they were excellent too! Because burger and fries HAVE TO BE TOGETHER!! But, to my disapointment the waitress had to cheat us on 20 cents. OMG. She didnt gave us back the 20cents cash. Donde va a ser mi dineroooooo! We got back our 20cents. Thats important. Thats what counts. Thats the key to success! haha.

Now, I was trying to figure out what exactly about her videos and general persona enraged me so much. At first, I thought that it was because she was literally doing some kind of Asian blackface. She’s putting on some kind of ignorant and perverted idea of how Asian people look and putting on a show as a sperging Japanese person. You know those babies you see named after anime characters by their weeaboo moms? This is what happens when those kids grow up. This is the perfect example of how an 18 year old Naruto Goku Smith would share their anime heritage with the world.

I realized in the end that I hated this shit because it bubbled up everything wrong with the anime fandom as a whole to the surface. She was fetishizing a culture, turning it from another unique group of people and culture into some kind of warped identity and fashion statement. She was one of many that had no first hand experience with Japanese culture and only consumed tons of shitty pop culture from it, thinking that acting like a retarded anime girl is how Japanese people are supposed to act. She is the alpha and omega of weeaboos.

I have never in my life wanted to slap someone more than I do right at this moment.

I wish my mom was this cool.

I thought we’d take a look back and see what KingdomHeartsFrantic has been doing lately. After the last article about him, he came out saying that he only played a character on his youtube channel, claiming he only spent hundreds of dollars on anime paraphernalia for his show, and his multiple journals and forum accounts were done in character. Luckily, we are not retarded and know that he’s the frumpy ass weeaboo we’ve seen him to be. What has he been sperging about lately though? Well, let’s take a look.

His most recent journal entry deals with his original youtube account (UltimateUKFFFan) being deleted. He has since created a new account (linked above) and promises that, “Things are going to be different now. Things are going to be bigger, things are going to be better. As Legacy’s old theme used to say “It’s a new day, it’s a new generation. It’s a new day. No we never look back, no we’re never lookin’ back.” Think that kind of applies to what’s happened here. So for all future videos please check out: KHFMcAwesome. Keep in mind this channel is still under construction at the moment, so things look a little basic right now. But soon things will be back to the way they used to be… but better!”

Keep in mind that Jack (not John, as originally thought) is now 20 years old. For those of you over 20 years old, what were you doing at that age? If you’re under 20, what do you plan to be doing? Was/is it making this?

I'm gonna hang this on my fridge.

An engaging menagerie of colorful characters at FanimeCon 2004.

I’d like to take a moment here to talk about the LeetStreet Boys and why they’re deluded pieces of shit. I know we’ve featured some of their auto-tuned pop rock “music” before, but we’ve never taken a look at the train wreck that is the actual band members. Let’s start with the most prominent member and co-founder of the band, Matt:

You may need to increase your resolution to fit his entire ego on your screen.

Matt is the lead singer of the otaku super group Leetstreet Boys. Like Japanophiles across the country, Matt’s obsessed with all things anime and video games, which are his main preoccupations. He also writes about falling in love, and the mix of fandom and romance in his songs have charmed otaku girls nationwide. Audiences packed with fangirls scream for him at conventions!
