About OtakuFreak
(Edit April 2012)

Wow, I've gone a long way since I've edit my page...I've watched so much Anime over the years I wonder if I've gained anything from it....Well for those who are new to the site, welcome. I've been on MAL for quite some time, but never really participate in many forums nor do I write many reviews anymore (since most reviews are over shadowed by others in a contest of who has the most helpful reviews...). My relationship with the Anime community has been much of a love/hate relationship since there many things I hate but many things I love about it (ex. Weeaboos) but I have also realized my opinions are no different from any other Weeaboo, and that the Anime community is constantly changing it's views on what is mainstream or not.

Besides that, I'm here to stay and I'll constantly be adding something new to my list.

MAL faithful....

What makes Anime Anime:
1. Giant Robots (Mecha)
2. Magical Powers (Fantasy, Sci-fi, etc..)
3. Fan Service (Hentai, Harem, Romance Comedies)
4. Ninjas (Just newly realized)

My View of Anime Popularity (By Class):

A-Class: Series that has a huge merchandising record and is well known by all audiences, but are totally formulated. (Ex. Naruto, Bleach, Inuyasha, Gundam)

B-Class: Series that isn't large in Merchandising but is well known by all audiences, also has some originality. (Ex. Hellsing, Cowboy Beebop, Samurai Shamploo)

C-Class: Anime that isn't well known in the US television except through DVD or Internet only. Usually filler series. Mostly original (Ex. Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star)

D-Class: Total Fan service. Has no serious fan base, just sexual innuendos. No Originality what so ever. (Ex. Maburaho, Rosario+Vampire, Iken)

Your review of Keroro Gunsou was really great.
Ah! Nice to meet you :P

sanada14 | 04-20-12, 12:10 AM
I thought it wouldnt be as thrilling, i havnt gotten myself around to watch it. is it really worth it? so far most of the gundam I'm liking is UC, i just got through finishing war in the pocket.

Well I'm going currently to college for an associates degree in applied science. After that I plan on getting a job and saving up to move out etc. I want to go back after a while though and get another degree in writing, I've always wanted to write a book, just never had the proper grammar or spelling to do so. I'd also need to increase my vocabulary.

What is a liberal arts major?

Hrm, wow, I'm not sure I can give any really great recommendations in those categories, especially considering how much you've seen already. My absolutely favorite mecha one so far is Code Geass but I'm sure you've seen that. I have not heard of Noir and romantic comedies aren't my thing. I'm NO help, sorry. Hehe. I understand about the socialization. There's not a lot of topics for me to comment on either but I'm making the effort for the sake of getting out of my shell. I hope you're able to find some good recommendations! You could very well give some as well with the amount you've seen. Visit the recommendation thread and the club. If they can't help you out, you may be able to help some others.

Hehehe! Heyas. It's nice to meet you. I'm doing pretty well. I just woke up so I'm in need of coffee. Going to go do that and then catch up on the goings on here. How about you? Are you doing well? Are you glad to have started to experience the social side of this site?

Otakufreak26 | 04-18-12, 2:57 AM
Yep that pretty much sums it up. So to move onto another subject, do you go to college or something?

Welcome To MAL!!!


sanada14 | 04-17-12, 1:31 PM
oh i see i havnt seen gundam age yet what do those pilots do?

Otakufreak26 | 04-17-12, 11:39 AM
hhhhmmm very interesting, there are people like that, that I don't like. The thing is almost all of them are immature and that is why they act the way they do. The weeabos you are referring to are all in highschool. I think it's better to embrace something negative and turn it into a positive then to allow someone else to chose what I can and can't do. If loving Japanese culture makes me a weeabo then I would assume all anime lovers are weeabos because all in all anime is part of Japanese culture. In essence if you like anime, you like Japanese culture, it's the same thing.

There was one instance in a game I was playing. This guy called himself theotakuazn and before i typed anything his first response was are you a weeabo. I chose not the answer, so the guy left the game, but before he did he responded "I don't play with weeaboos, bye." Personally I think the guy was full of himself, that's why I think it was Asians who came up with it because the azn stands for Asians.

if your a newtype yourself you would know O_O i see you have the 08th on ur fav too

Otakufreak26 | 04-16-12, 11:01 PM
I appreciate you responding back from the comment I made. Same here, I don't mind having conversations with fellow anime lovers. Hit me up anytime.

When I first thought of the nickname, I was really trying to show others that I didn't care what they thought about otaku's. In Japan I hear it's a bad thing to call another person an otaku, that it is an insult. What better way to show indifference toward a word's original meaning than to call myself a freak, I thought at the time. I still think the same way, but to me an otaku has nothing to do with weeabo, if anything weeabo is the insult. Otaku to me means an obsessive interest in anime, as well as other things such as video games. Weeabo is a name made by arrogant Asian people who feel superior to everyone who isn't Asian. It's basically saying because you like Asian things I am going to look down on you because you obviously wish you were Asian. Just like using the word Otaku, it's a way to separate those who fit in from those who don't, if I were you i would embrace otaku and ignore weeabo. They both exclude others, but one is more broader than the other, and that is why Otaku is the correct way to identify all anime nerds.

FYI- it turns out that otaku's original meaning is the same as mine. They reason people confused it with shut ins is because otaku is very similar to home or house in Japanese. That is were it got its negative meaning from, also because people used it negatively.

Hello 75% anime compatibility :)

Otakufreak26 | 04-06-12, 10:42 PM
You knows what's funny is that you came up with the name before me lol. I came up with it in 2008, looks like you did it in 2007, touche. It kinda sucks because now i have to come up with a different nickname. I keep finding this nickname everywhere, now there is a website called otakufreak. O.o wtf?
