AniManga doesn't mean close-minded
Yay for the first rant of the year! [\o\ \o/ /o/]. Well, I was supposed to post this last year. I totally forgot that I made this blog :D <heh>
:D: Hi!
:|: Oh, hello!
:D: You draw anime?
:|: Yeah...
:D: O-M-G!
: What's your fav anime?!
:|: Um...
:D: You listen to those freaky Jap bands, don't you?! I know you do!
: That's all you anime freaks listen to. Do you cosplay?
:|: Well, I...
:D: Course you do!
:|: D8...
I got this from a stamp in DevArt [Although I couldn't find the stamp anymore]. Anyway, I have three points to tell you <strike>stupid, close-minded</strike> people about:
ONE: We listen to more than J-pop/J-rock
Well, my playlist has other artists in it. Although I have my favorite Japanese songs in my playlist, I think my Hillsongs collection dominates the list more. Do you want me to get a screencap for you?
TWO: We don't all cosplay.
I honestly hate people when they ask me if I cosplay during first meetings etcetera, etcetera. I mean, what the hell? Is cosplaying all there is to anime?
For Pete's sake! I'm an anime fan but cosplaying will be the last thing I will do in my entire life. [D8] And please, I know people who are like me [anime fan!not cosplayer]. No, you can't coax me to do it. I'm perfectly happy with my "fan" status as it is, thank you very much.
THREE: We watch more than anime/manga.
Let's enumerate~! Tsubasa Chronicles, Kuroshitsuji, Fruits Basket, Saiyuki, 24 ORAS, CASE UNCLOSED, COFFEE PRINCE, Naruto, Ouran High School Host Club, BORN TO BE WILD, LALOLA, ANG PINAKA, CAMERA CAFE [lol, 3 mins?], Hagane no Renkinjuutsushi, xxxHolic, UNANG HIRIT [yeah Xd], MY NAME IS KIM SAM SOON, WAR OF MONEY, Kobato [yet to come but will watch], Jigoku Shoujo, PRISON BREAK, LOST, SURVIVOR, THE AMAZING RACE... etc... etc. Oh, yeah~! I also abuse the National Geographic Channel and sometimes, HBO XD
Go check my Friendster profile if you want more. But yeah, the list says that I watch other shows other than anime. I also read other books aside from manga.
-----------------
Other people tend to misjudge us, anime fans. Just because we watch it, doesn't mean that it's our life. Pffft. It sucks to know that there are people like that. Someday, I'd like to cram them all in a warehouse and then drop an atom bomb on it.[>D]
EDIT:
I found the pic~!
