An Otaku’s Second Obsession: Anime

I haven’t explain what Otaku means. It is a japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly on manga, anime and video games. Well I’m guilty of those three.

Anime is simply Japanese Animation.

My facination with Animes dated long way back, with Voltes V and Mazinger Z. As I child we used to role play the characters on those series. Gosh I feel old already but always young at heart!

Then followed later by Ghost Fighter, Flame of Recca and Slam Dunk. It has been quite a hit in local Philippine TV.

And don’t forget there’s also Pokemon, Doreamon and Yu-gi-oh!

Only lately I’ve learned that there are other kinds of anime aside from the usual action-packed adventure.

Now I’m into romance/ comedy dramas. Who would have thought they are also “nakaka-kilig” ?

Some of my favorites are: Itazura na Kiss, Nodame Cantabile, Vampire Knight and my latest and on-going Skip Beat.

There are also alot of websites where you can watch these animes. I’m particulary keen on this one

crunchyroll

Here you can watch all anime you want (also asian dramas ) and participate in forums with fellow otakus. You would be suprised to how many and obsessed they are. I’m on the milder side (I’m glad!) since I have alot of other interests.

A little trivia:

Almost all animes are based on mangas and some movies and tv/ drama series are spin-off from mangas and/ or animes.

Well, that’s a different blog topic I will cover on later.
