I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the Universal Studios fanfare playing before Funimation’s new anime episodes

So lately I keep seeing the terms otaku & weeb/weaboo used interchangeably. Maybe no longer the case but the distinction I learned was “otaku” when used to refer to a westerner is someone who’s a fan of japanese pop culture (anime/manga/video games etc). A “weeb/weaboo” was a westerner who’s convinced japanese culture/heritage is superior to their own and tries to imitate japanese mannerisms & philosophy, but usually wind up coming across as a false stereotype (wannabe/poser). So while I accept the label otaku, “weeb” makes me cringe. Of course from a purely japanese semantic, otaku can be used to refer to someone with an unhealthy obsession about anything, usually to the point where it has a negative effect on other aspects of their life.
Anyway, not trying to call anyone out, just something of a pet peeve of mine.

Woke up to about a foot of snow that fell overnight. Think it’s the most we’ve had in at least 6 years. Fortunately it’s not that cold (mid-20s)

Henceforth I will be abbreviating Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town? (Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari) as OP Bumpkin

So I took this “What character from Demon Slayer?” quiz & came up with Zenitsu ... as if my self esteem hasn’t been low enough lately

Just finished wrapping the nephews’ presents. Actually going to have to do some last minute shopping tomorrow to top off the adults.

Been meaning to watch Log Horizon for awhile. Unfortunately, season 1 is no longer available on CR/VRV. Not on Funi either though they announced they’d be streaming season 3. So I took a chance on a copy of the blu ray complete collection I found on ebay for $50. Arrived today legit & still shrink wrapped. Will start watching later this week.

Will probably pass on Higurasgi~New since I watched the original around this time last year & everything I’ve seen on it indicates it’s the same story with a slightly different art style (actually prefer the older style
)
I am planning on watching Burn the Witch this evening though.

My current avi is Sekhmet (aka The Witch of Sloth) from Re:Zero. Which fits my mood lately -_-zzz
-
Trying to ID your avi. Is she from Strawberry Panic?
-
@Ohayotaku Yes she is! Shizuma Hanazono. One of the main characters in the series.
-
-
@Ohayotaku Right. Last time I watched it I believe I was still in school. I remember binge watching the entire series with my best friend; sitting on my bed. Would have to take a couple bathroom breaks and get snacks but otherwise my entire weekend was spent watching that series, lol. I miss those times honestly.

Made my first post-Covid trip to the movies to see The New Mutants. Certainly not on the same level as the Avengers Marvel movies, but none of the X-men movies have been. Still found it enjoyable enough & better than I was expecting (6.5/10)
But at least the power is on.
