ok since it seems like nearly everyone on GS likes anime, I was wondering have any of you guys had gone through that phase at some point or anything similar? You know that phase I'm talking about.
The one where you're obsessed with anything Japanese or Korean (but not Chinese or anything from other Asian countries), you wanted to either be a seiyuu or mangakaa, ramune and pocky was teh BEST!!!, used a lot of gratuitous Japanese (particularly words like kawaii or baka), Japan is the best county and etc. to a very cringeful degree. There is also a good chance you were also obsessed with being "random", wolves, or being emo during this time too. You guys get the idea right?
also looking back, what were some of the things you did back then that makes you cringe now?

I had an emo kid phase in like fifth grade, I thought it was cool, looking back it makes me cringe.
Uh, I don't think my anime obsession was really all that bad? Because I had a "sister" who shared it with me so looking it was actually a fun time for me.
I'll tell you what looking back on my sanime obsession made me cringe, see I was like a "punk" and I still kind of dress punk/gothic/emo/dark but w/e I had these sceney weenie friends that were just so annoying with their BVB and BOTDF obsessions. IDK looking back they made me cringe, because by then I was out if like "youre a poser lol" or "im so hardcore ur not" thing and they were just entering that phase.

Actually, I vaguely remember being exasperated with my peers and wondering when they would grow up.
Now I just mock them with terrible voices and shouting "KAWAAYEE DAYSUE NAE." when they start getting too obnoxious. |

i watch a lot of jdramas. still do.[/quote wait i'm curious what do you watch and uh. i watched a lot of traditionally 'weebly' series like naruto and inuyasha, but besides my middle school fanart i didn't really...do much weebly things? my weebly phase was mostly centered around death note and the yaois. for the most part i think my weebly phased was suppressed by the fact that my liking animation at all was pretty shameful for my parents. mostly i watched other people being weebly. my weebly was more concentrated on the internet. |

At one point all I ever listened to was J-Rock, specifically visual kei bands, with some J-Pop sprinkled in. I had loved anime and manga for a while but something about the music really got me. I didn't dress visual kei or have an 'emo style'. I was also very obsessed with anime/manga in general and loved anything about Japan. Still do. I never used words like "kawaii" in my everyday speech, even though I had a lot of friends who did, but I would use it when I was talking online. I still like to shout incoherent Japanese at my friend Edward though because he actually knows the language and I like to exasperate him.

Back when I got into anime, I didn't want to be labeled as an anime lover. To me, being an anime lover was liking all sorts of anime but not other non-anime stuff. That kind of definition just happened in my head. I didn't want people to think I watch anime because it's anime. I like it because of the story and plot. I had many anime-loving friends but most of the series they like aren't really the ones I do.
So nope, didn't really do anything embarrassing xD Wait...I STAND CORRECTED. Back in my fourth grade, we were asked to do a presentation of any books or cartoons we like. I did a presentation on Digimon Frontier and no one listened to me. The following day, I brought a handkerchief with me to school and asked our class adviser / homeroom teacher if I could announce something to the class. And so I told to all my classmates that what they did hurt my feelings and I cried. They all apologized to me and it was all good. We hugged and all that warm stuff.
As you guys might be able to tell, I'm...still like that.

i wanted to draw manga once in middle school and then i tried to actually draw and realized i have negative talent so...
i didn't really have a weeb phase tho. i was far too protective of my reputation. my best friend bought all the figures and did all that shit so i lived through him!! in the safety of his bedroom we would have epic action figure battles between the shining gundam and super sayian goku. but in the outside world i was all business

I've been obsessed with anime since I was eleven {seven years) and I've drawn so much anime. {If anybody wants to see I'll make a gallery in IMGUR o.o I love showing off.) In fact I have become obsessed with the Japanese culture (and surprisingly not just for the anime...anymore) I've even tried converting my household to be more....japanesey like....I mean but I get nowhere with "TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF BEFORE YOU EVEN TOUCH THE CARPEt!" or my favorite "PUT ON THOSE SLIPPERS I BOUGHT YOU BEFORE YOU USE THE RESTROOM!". Doesn't work out too well.
Out of habit I had even bowed to one of my teachers. Never again, but I guess I'm embarrassing still and I'm 18 xD
And even before I was obsessed with anime, I was punk, flat out punk. Spiked collars, anarchy t-shirts (I still am an anarchist >_>) but looking back I just feel like I've flaunted it wayyyy too much. *Le sigh* Obsessions. |

i think i'm really fortunate bc i didn't go through these PHASESSSS instead i met a group of like 20 year olds when i was 13 and they taught me how to be cool.
though i did dye my hair black in 7th grade but that was me being curious on what it would look like so-

Despite loving animanga I have never weeabooed a day in my life. Heck I only learned what being a "weeaboo" entails a couple months ago.
Besides I have enough trouble trying to be an American. Wanting to be Japanese on top of that? Just shoot me now. (Not really though... I kind of like life...) |

Five years ago, the Pokemon League formed Lux to create a new world order of peace and harmony. A rebellion formed, under the name of Nox, cries tyranny at Lux's new microcosmic control. Their civil war now tears the Pokemon world apart. The world hangs in the balance of predormitum. Which side will you choose?
is a high stakes RP set in a dystopian Russian society recovering from an apocalyptic war between the armies of Heaven and Hell. Greater Russia now stands free from the influence of God and the Devil, and all non-humans run the risk of execution. Outside the safe zones lies the contained wasteland of Moscow, where demons and mutated shadowbeasts continue to terrorize the remaining human survivors who have been penned in with them. As of late, increasing evangelic disturbances threaten the peace that has ruthlessly maintained by the secret police.
