  1. I was really happy on Valentine's Day even if most of the single friends I knew were so bitter about it and started calling it Single Awareness Day. I actually forgot that it was actually Valentine's Day because I got so busy with my requirements at school and it turned out that I passed for my College Entrance Exam so I was really hyped up and I didn't have the time to think about a certain holiday that obviously have nothing to do with me. I'm going to live without calendars and watches now I think. Looking back at all the Valentine's Day that passed me by I wasn't really concerned about romantic gestures and having dates. I was much more concerned with the part that I should buy chocolates for my parents and make cards for them so that they'll take us out on a date. I'm quite family oriented probably because of how my Mum grew us up. This concern went on and on until the recent occasion and I don't feel anything bad about celebrating Valentine's Day with my family. I think there are two perks about it. One is that I don't have to be labeled a loser about being single by those Valentines Stereotypes and Second I can help my parents from not making the decision in adding to the total number of the human population by November. I'm actually a superhero. Lels. One thing that happened on Valentine's day that changed my perspective about love was the poem that my teacher in Literature shared with us about someone relating love to an onion. When we talk about love we always picture out romantic stuffs and gestures such as Chocolates, Cards and Roses. Instead of a typical Valentine's Day filled with Chocolates and Cards my mind dove deeper with the onion. "I give you an onion. It is a moon wrapped in brown paper. It promises light like the careful undressing of love." When we indulge ourselves in loving someone we hurry on the loving part and forgot about the details. We hurry like our life depends on it. Like if I don't hurry now I might let a 1000 year chance slip out of my hand. We aren't supposed to hurry. Opening an onion is the same as encountering love. Quickly undressing it to discover it's core can make your eyes well up with tears resulting with you getting hurt. But taking a steady hand with a slow manner of slicing it, making your hands introduce themselves layer by layer can somehow lessen the tearing effect. In love we always get hurt and that is inevitable but suffering for that pain and letting it take over you is an option Keep breathing everyone! Kampai~

  3. Why is anime so looked down upon? Every time I mention liking anime, people automatically assume I like hentai, tentacle stuff, etc. Why do you think anime is disliked by so many?

  4. Not gonna lie, not one for introductions but this forum is pretty cool. So why not introduce myself. Name is King_Sama, you can call me King or really whatever you want. I've only been on the site for about 24 hours and I already cant stop checking my phone. I am a nerd and I freaking love that, been one for as long as I can remember and plan on being on until I die. I'm serious, gonna die with two lightsabers crossed in my arms. Anyway, i look forward to meeting you guys and hearing all the different anime we have in common.

  5. Whadda nasty individual! Serious! On the note of hentai, can't get into it but I can see how some people associate anime with hentai not knowing the difference. Of course normal anime titles that push that boundary when seen just embeds it firmly into their mind. Anyway, back onto hentai, I (and not judging here) just can't watch it because one though keeps creeping through my head, some dude drew these characters getting their stank on. Total mood killer. But I did date a woman once that enjoyed it. Again though, watching it with her didn't get my gears twisting like it did her. Again...dude...drawing...

  9. Hey there! Nice to meet you! You can call me Rye if you like Welcome to the forums btw! It's nice having you introduce yourself in a blog entry. Is this your first one? Waaaaah, I should have thought about this. lels. Anyways, I'm a lil bit older than you so maybe you can call me Nee-san or something. I'm not much of a loner but I'm not a socialist either so maybe I can reach out to you. I love Fairytail and tbh it was the main reason why I started reading mangas cause I just can't wait to see what would happen next I like black too tbh. I'm the oldest child in the family and I have an ototo which is 16 years old as well and a kawaii imouto which is still 8 years old. I love pudding Anyways, nice meeting you again!

  12. That poem is interesting, I agree with the way you analyze it, sometimes people are too impatient with these things (myself included) and all we need is a new perspective before taking any move in the dimension of romance.

  14. I think people are more and more seeing anime for how good it is. With movies coming out on them, shows taking ideas from them, and certain anime becoming more popular; people are becoming more aware of how great it is. Although, Netflix's Death Note didn't help at all. Lol

  15. I completely agree. Whenever my parents or brother walk into my room I feel it's necessary to pause my anime and switch tabs. Even though they all watch anime too, it's just a natural reflex to me even though they've all watched it too. My friend at school does the same except none of his family watch anime so he keeps it under the radar just so nobody judges him.

  17. Sadly, that is a very common stereotype. I attended one anime panel that really focused in on debunking the "everyone into hentai" stereotype is, even going to the point of showing sales from the 80s and 90s of hentai versus the number of anime fans during the same timeframe. It was very interesting. I wish I still had the guy's information. I found my convention booklet for that year but it just has the name of the panel...no speaker info attached. Then, as said above, there's also the "cartoon" stereotype. That is especially embedded in the "just for kids" stereotype. It all really reminds me of the video gamer bad rap. I was told by a colleague once upon talking about video games that I couldn't be a fan. That was something just for guys....I MUST be making it up! Not to mention how childish and immature I must be for enjoying them! The horror that she had to work with such a child! No joke. Then she went on to say that only men of a young age (12-22 years old) play video games.... Yeah...I nearly fell on my face laughing. So, the next day I emailed her the most current report from the ESA (which at that time stated that 40% of gamers were women, and the average age if I remember correctly was somewhere around 35-40 years old LOL...I was actually younger than the average age!). Take that hater! The Most Recent ESA Statistics for those of you who are now wondering She hated me after that. Good thing I wasn't going to have to deal with her but for another month. She was the type of person who didn't like being wrong - and although she hated being wrong...she was terribly unprepared to perform her job...that's what happens when you go to a school that you pay to be given a degree (and yes, the place she graduated from is quite famous for that in my industry, no one takes their grads seriously). Anyways, I really wish that the anime industry had a version of the ESA. Truthfully, Japan does have an industry report. I believe it's from the Association of Japanese Animation....but it doesn't have the nitty gritty viewership details that ESA has for its own report (maybe they just didn't include it in the English summaries...). Sure it has how many people viewed or streamed something, but nothing like their ages and genders. I honestly wonder if that is why there is so much ecchi and harems. Do they really not have the viewership data to guide them in making a better anime? Do they really think that they are mostly serving young horny males (a common EA Games mistake...even with gamership data to contradict it)? Anyways....Click Here to Access the English Version of the AJA's Industry Reports. I would love to ask one of the producers or directors at a convention some day if they actually have the right statistics. It would be interesting to see if they even know themselves. I've done some digging and haven't been able to show much for it sadly.
