[...] the latter. Yes I know, I wrote a worship-post dedicated to Haruka-chan before, also how she touched the otaku in me, but that’s mostly me filling the emotional gaps in the show, or feeling empathy despite the [...]

[...] During the seminar, there was this trivia / gift giveaway portion where the audience was asked to answer some questions (and they get some prizes in exchange), and the people who were able to answer are made to introduce themselves as well as their blog. This introduction made me all the more hesitant to participate, even if I clearly knew the answer to some of the questions. It’s not an issue of showing how geek I am (since many of the questions are geeky, like how do you install Google Analytics into your blog, what is Google Gears, etc), but rather having to pimp my blog in front of an audience, almost all of whom might not even have the slightest idea as to what anime is about. There�s supposed to be nothing for me to be ashamed about, amirite? I�m proud of being an anime otaku, and I’m proud of my blog.

@Michael: well Chinese people are competitive and all that cheese. If I studied in the city, I believe I would’ve gained more friends who are otakus, or at least, open-minded enough not to stereotype them. Studying in the province, with not much students in school, leaves me as one of the few minorities. You’re lucky you had that blessing early on, and I’m thankful I’m blessed with it now

Oh wow, we were brought up in roughly the same manner. I was groomed by my dad to excel, and I did for the most part of my scholastic life, except now in college where I learned that biology was shit and I hated thinking of studying it for the rest of my life. But I still excel in individual subjects, and I still have never hidden my appreciation for anime. Although my batchmates are more accepting, it’s quite a solitary hobby, as most people prefer to spend their time perhaps studying, I don’t know.

I’m with more accepting friends, and I’ve never been in doubt with who I was, so being an otaku wasn’t really much of a big deal for me.

Yuuto is too damn AWESOME. He makes Haruka so happy! THEY BELONG TOGETHER!

I laughed SOOOO hard when Haruka threw that asshole against a tree. EPIC WIN.

And…WTF it disgusting about watching anime? ANIME, for gods sake. All kids do it…aparently, middle school kids are dumb and should be smacked 300+ times

Too many meanies in the show. They need to go away

Also….Yuuto is just awesome. I HAVE to say that again

Haruka and Yuuto FOREVER!!!!
