Welcome to Gaia! ::

How to show your Anime FanDUMB on the net..

1. Take a overly used word from the Japanese language that sounds cute... for example "Neko" and add a Japanese suffix like "chan" and make it your online name.. "Neko-chan"

2. Pretend that you know what you are talking about. When someone says "Pocky" is best snacks in the world. Agree. Even though you never even heard of it. When someone says Anime isn't cartoon. Agree. Use stereotypical explainations like "Cartoons are for kids.. and anime is for us" to get your point across.

3. Learn annoying internet typing like "L33t" or "aZn P0wER".

4. Hate everything that is American. Be close minded. No one wants diversity. If it's Marvel. Say it's sucks. If it's Disney. Say it's sucks. If it's Doritos.. say it sucks. Cause, Pocky is the best snack. Oh, if you see something that looks anime but it's made by American.. say that it's a "Anime wannabe"

5. When speaking in sentences. use random Japanese words between English words like.. "I'm so kawaii, you're the most baka person in the world. Sugoi."

6. Claim that you are turning Japanese. Everything you see in CCS is everything that you have to know about Japan. Say you eat sushi and say you know karate, and that komonos are cool. Hey even though you are white and live in Cleveland, doesn't mean you can't be a true Japanese.. GO NIPPON!

7. If you are the under the age of 14.. say you want to go Japan and become a manga-ka. Despite never learning how to draw. If you do draw, use tracing paper to trace those scans that you see in manga books and japanese art books. No one will know the difference. People on the net will claim that you are the greatest manga-ka ever.

8. Get all offended when someone doesn't agree with you. Because, being part of the Anime FanDUMB.. you are always right.

9. Hate all dubs, even the ones you never heard. Why bother, it's all the same.

In a future lesson, I'll teach you how to show your Anime FanDUMB at the cons.. Thank you.

I enjoyed this greatly. Mostly cuz it's so true... I was just going to rant earlier about how it irks me that people say one word of Japanese in a sentence full of English. It makes people sound like retards. Learn the language, <b>then</b> use it in sentences the correct way.

Oh very nice, very nice indeed.

*nods* XD, yeah, that's about right.

That one right there is misplaced, it has little to do with Anime.

Other than that, not bad.

It is funny because it is true sort of like how anyone that has taken more than the two semesters of Japanes some "fansubbers" think is all they need to translate reads this: http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~thoureau/japanese.html and promptly dies of laughter because IT IS ALL TRUE.
