Am I the only non-Otaku here?
I suppose that it should be obvious that a forum for a visual novel with an anime style would have a lot of Otakus in it, however I break that trend. While I have watched an anime or two before, I've never really watched enough to be considered an Otaku. (The only ones I watched and enjoyed would be Highschool of the Dead because zombies and that's it, and The Familiar of Zero because it's friggin' hilarious)
I also never read any manga. Except this one time when I tried to read a random one from my library, and I ended up picking a Megaman one, of all things, and it was one in the middle of the series. And it really confused me because I'm a stupid American and read it backwards at first.
Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone else here isn't a hardcore Otaku. To be honest, I'm not sure how I DID get here. Maybe I'm just that hipster.
I am a brony, however. Make of that what you wish.

Re: Am I the only non-Otaku here?
I don't really consider myself a big-time otaku (Denial: Not just a river in Egypt). I do read a lot of manga, but I don't watch anime, and....
....Nope. I can't do it. I had this more written out, and I had to delete it. My arguments for my non-otaku-ness are sadly weak. Enjoy your lonely isolation.

Re: Am I the only non-Otaku here?
I've watched my fair share of anime and I have read something like.. 2 manga.
I think I just like to watch anime. I don't have waifus. I don't have figurines or posters. My computer background is not anime themed.
I do not, however, condone your fetish though. Bestiality is wrong even when they are cartoons.

Re: Am I the only non-Otaku here?
I like anime and manga, but not any more than I like other forms of media.

I'm more of a video game and novel person myself, actually. And by novels I mean without pictures. Because words are fun.ILY wrote:I like anime and manga, but not any more than I like other forms of media.

And seriously Jummy, go watch Code Geass and Death Note (Code Geass is best) then you will probably join our ranks (writing this sentence made me find the definition of otaku, I have awakened!)

A brony is an individual above the age of 12 who watches "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"TheLastMelody wrote:I take it a brony is someone into beastiality?
That's my basic understanding of it at least

If something's good, I like it. Whether it's from an English speaking part of the world or a Japanese speaking part (or any other part) doesn't really affect how likely I am to enjoy it, as much as the actual quality.
To enjoy something for no reason but its Japanese origins is to be weeaboo, and that my friends is a fate worse than death.
I resent this. My being a brony and my enjoyment of bestiality are completely unrelated.kosherbacon wrote:Yes.TheLastMelody wrote:I take it a brony is someone into beastiality?
kidding, people... maybe...
<alabaster> I don't like it that big.

Brony =/= Bestiality. We are not furries, we simply just watch the show My Little Pony because we are a group of no-lives with too much freetime. Just like pretty much everyone ever on an internet forum.
