I Grew Up, But I’m Still a Child at Heart

You’re currently looking at a prime example.

It was a rainy afternoon. I originally planned to go out shopping. I plan to also get my hair trimmed because it’s already too long. The rain stopped me somehow, and I suddenly found myself outside of my front door, leaning  forward on the cold ledge while smoking a lit cigarette. Then a kid with a playmate passed by, noticed me, and started to talk to me. “You’re the person who knows a lot of anime and lives in here, right?” he asked. Though I was surprised on how he knew, I nodded. Then, without regard to the order of things, he proceeded to ask, “Aren’t you a bit too old to be watching those kinds of things now?”

Alert!: Otaku In The Workplace!

Busy Sanae is busy, so get your eyes off that pantyshot and get on to reading.

I think I’ve explained this well enough: I am currently employed. It’s just me doing my job, taking care of stuff, doing what I need to do. Then suddenly, a colleague approaches my table, asks me to lend an ear, and whispers: “Do you have a copy of the last Initial D episode on your flash drive right now?”

I’m Not Ashamed Of My Porn: Shance No Ecchi!

… the best way to say “thank you” in Japan is to…that’s right, JAM IT IN.

I recently had a nice conversation with a friend. It simply started out with our favorite artists and their artwork and the genres they usually draw. Of course, given that kind of topic, one thing led to another, and eventually, we found ourselves openly talking about porn. Yes. Porn.

And since it’s a post about porn, let’s tag it as NOT SAFE FOR WORK before we go tackle the juicy parts.

Rule 34: Hentai, ecchi, yaoi, yuri, call it whatever you want to call it. You can never consider yourself a fan if you can’t consider having earthly desires for the cause.

The Impurity of the Impoverished Otaku

/stain: “practicality” “impurity” “corruption

I was visiting the Moritheil Review when I stumbled upon this site. Well, it’s not really a site. It’s an “otaku purity test” that tells if you really are an otaku at heart, and how pure or impure are you in being one. It’s got questions mostly aimed at the American audience, but I took it anyway. The result:

Santa Reimu pics are so rare… or maybe it’s just me being lazy on finding them…

Here we are at the second part of the Christmas Present Catalog, where your gift would mean something significant in the anime and manga world! On the first part of the catalog, we listed down gifts that are good for lovers. Now we’re going to list down gifts that are too absurd or screwed, or sick for anyone to have.

Being Santa Claus is hard work…

It’s now officially December (I’m following the Tokyo timeline by the way, so yay me), and with Christmas and New Year’s closing in, everyone’s in the rush to buy presents for the occasion. However, we anime and manga fans are different in every way, and that also counts when giving gifts. So why not give something significant, like the ones given by notable anime and manga characters to their treasured ones?

The Doujinshi World: We Weave Love… Parallel Love…

Doujin1You won’t see this kind of thing inside the confines of official material, or outside the confines of Patchouli’s mind, especially since Touhou is already questionable on being “official material”. But it’s out anyway, so what gives?

animekritik just opened himself a can of worms. Who’s willing enough to eat its contents? I am.
