I know your post is meant largely tongue-in-cheek but nationalistic/xenophobic tendencies aren't specially unique to otaku or anything.

Also, I honestly don't think most otaku have an inclination to evangelize their hobby in public, or would even if doing so it weren't stigmatized. The more bombastic individuals just get more attention because that's how it is with, well, everything.

To clarify, my comment does not imply that otaku are nationalistic/xenophobic if that is what you were thinking of. For me, those added real world social problems will enhance the depth of this story if they are handled right.

As for spreading anime, the key word here is "dream of" not actually "do it." Just like with every other hoppy, people want to share their love of anime too. Whether or not the majority of Otaku are actively evangelizing it to people is another matter.

Time to put this on the list of things to recommend to everyone who seems to think "original" = "good".
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

I'm strongly reminded of /a/'s anime idea threads.
This is exactly the kind of idea I'd scroll past, but then so is TWGOK. With such straightforward fantasies, I can never tell if the author's gonna make it bold and awesome or just embarrassing and shallow.

It's just that nationalist/xenophobic aspect sticks out like a sore thumb, probably because it's so universal right now and just in Japan, it's occurring here in the States as well.

It's sad that the fanatics get the most attention, a lot of times for the bad instead of the good or fun things, it would be nice to hear a significant amount of good things an Otaku has done rather than the ridiculously bad such as threats to seiyuu over every little thing they think they did wrong.

2013 Fall is sooner than I expected.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Full version of the same key visual:



Artwork looks okay to me aside from the heroine's triangular face (still better than Aku no Hana), I wonder what's wrong in it? Other than that, I hope the animation from the trailer will do justice once it releases. Also, the main cast will be announced for Saturday.

I agree and yeah those triangular faces sticks out as painfully average, but at least I can look at this with a straight face unlike Aku no Hana.

Can't wait for the voice cast announcement.

Fuchigami Mai is getting more roles these days. There is Arpeggio of Blue Steel recently announced and now this, also a main role. Recently I watched her riding a tank together with a bunch of GirlPan fans in a Self Defense Force base in Hokkaido. Amazing.

All depends on how its done. If its dne badly.... Its gonna be painfully stupid and unbearable. But if done well, well, one enjoyable Anime. i just hope it doesnt try to make us forget about e inherent ridiculousness of the premise.

Another European fantasy show?

The faces look like they were badly chiseled out from a rock or something, the eyes also look unfocused, if THIS was the cover art, I'm scared of whats to come.

Actually I would not mind if it makes us forget about the inherent ridiculousness of the premise. Girls und Panzer is a brilliant example of why making us forget the ridiculousness of the premise is not such a bad thing at all.

The premise somehow screams "meh" to me, and looks like it's just going to be another tale about ridiculously cheap excuse for the show's lead to conveniently get girls. But at least i should give it some credit for not using obnoxiously longass title

Definitely won't be watching it.

Lol what'd you expect me to say then? That's pretty much my honest opinions based on the premise alone, the usual gimmicky stuffs that vast majority of LN adaptations seem to suffer from. Or maybe you want me to call this "Best plot ever" and being sarcastic like some other people in this thread? I'm sorry, but being straightforward and blunt is apparently my thing.

Now, go ahead and attack my opinion with your usual sarcasm. That's what you're very good at
