[Kuroii]

My name is Kuroii and I'm an otaku. I've been watching anime since my fifth birthday.
I'm a real one because I'll go to Otakuthon soon!

 

[Feenie]

I'm an otaku, as well! I love anime and manga. I'm always reading manga and watch anime a ton. I like getting anime related figures, and wearing anime related T-Shirts. I'd like to cosplay, but outfits on the internet are expensive... Oh, and I think I've been into anime and manga since I was about 6 or 7. When I started watching Pokemon, Sailor Moon, and Cardcaptors. I wanna go to a con, but I don't live near any.... Waah....

 

[Milkapoke]

I'm an otaku for sure.

I LOVE anime...and manga..and I've spent $700 alone on anime stuff this year. Gotta love the figures and plushes! And my god...your wallet hates you for it..

I also got two lovely dakimakuras, and part of some anime-stuff forums.

I cosplay to every convention I go to....which is up to four now.

 

[Kuroii]

Does anyone knows aaaanime.com? There is alot of manga/anime stuff. Last year I bought a Soul Eater hoodie. I hope that soon, other otakus will come to post here.

 

[Feenie]

Nope, never heard of it, but I may have to check it out! If it's got lots of anime/ manga stuff, I'm there!

Yeah, let's hope more otakus post here!

 

[Heartilly]

I'm also a huge Otaku!!!

I've been one since I was at least 6. I love reading manga and watching anime!!! I also like getting anime figures a ton. I would love to cosplay, but... I can't really find any(plus, they're kind of expensive). I'm not giving up on finding one though!

Me XDD I've been an otaku for life! Hiya XDD

I love watching all sorts of anime throughout the year if it interests me enough. I also like reading manga from time to time.

In my early years of being otaku, I watched...
Sailor Moon, Pokemon (on-going), Cardcaptor Sakura, Wedding Peach, Sweet Tales of Saint Tails, Nurse Angel Ririka SOS, Digimon (watched up to Savers)... gah, I can't even remember them all XDD Ah! And Detective Conan. I still watch Detective Conan every now and then.

The anime I enjoyed watching in the 21st century so far are Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler), Death Note, Ao no Exorcist, Tiger and Bunny, C ~ The Money of Soul and Possibilty Control, Junjou Romantica, Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi, Bakuman, Uta-no Prince Sama (Prince of Song), Full Moon o Sagashite, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, Ultra Maniac, Chrno Crusade, Midori no Hibi, The World God Only Knows, Rozen Maiden, WORKING!!, Gravitation, Antique Bakery, and there are others that I can't remember right now - but YEAH!!

My fav genre is modern drama, modern fantasy, yaoi, and supernatural. I really dig those with awesome graphics.

I've only been to small, private, fan-hosted mini-cons that are only official to those who know about it. Still, there are loads of people who particiapte. I buy doujinshis and collect fan-arts.

I would love to cosplay if I can. I'd like to make my own clothes! I wish I could try as Elesa or Skyla from Pokemon, or Suigintou from Rozen Maiden.

I'm an otaku, why?
Well when you're an otaku you know when you watch anime there no going back.
Anime can mess you up good or bad. xD
I'm an otaku for life!
I've been an otaku since I was 9! And I shall be one forever!

Huzzah otakus!! Huzzah

Anyway...this week, I've spent $120 of my own money on anime stuff! Crazy, I know. But it's worth it!

Has any other otaku spent their money on anime stuff recently?

Ha ha, if it's for anime/manga, it's NEVER crazy!:XD:

Whenever I get money, I'm always going to spend it on anime/manga. I've got ten dollars, so I hope to buy a manga with it. Not sure what though.... I've been thinking pre-ordering Vampire Knight, Nabari No Ou, or just getting Hana-Kimi. Wish I had one hundred twenty dollars to spend on anime/manga:XD:!!!!

 

[Black★Rock Shooter]

Is having two (overfilled) shelves dedicated to Black Rock Shooter and Puella Magi Madoka Magica merchandise considered otaku?:3

Oh god, I want some, too!!! XD

I ended up buying MeruPuri with me money. And I love it. ^_^

 

[Milkapoke]

OTAKUS! We are the rulers of the world

Today, I was given $165 just to spend on anime! So far, I have bought...

Nitro Super Sonico strap
Hatsune Miku Project Diva 3 Strap
Nagato Yuki SEGA Prize figure
And some manga!

I still have ~$100 to spend...SO MUCH!

I've seen a few of these things in my lifetime. Some pretty crazy stuff, especially one that I once saw called "Pocketful of Rainbows."

 

[Milkapoke]

OI, I need to ask this to all of you: Would anyone care for some anime shop links? I would only post the ones that sell 100% bootleg-free items, because we all hate getting ripped off, no?

 

[Stardust Crusaders]

Ah, I guess I'm an Otaku.
I love Anime and Manga, most of my bed is full of various plushies, my key has loads of Anime keyrings stuck to it, I stay up late most nights watching Anime / Reading manga.
That counts, right?

I've liked Manga since I was about 11, and Anime since I was 12. I never really bought any merchandise until I watched KHR and was obsessed with it. Now my friends have to drag me out of any shop that sells anything to do with Anime/Manga because I just want to buy everything.

Please do! It's good to have a list of shops where you know that you're getting legit product, and I think that the Land of the Rising Sun users could really benefit from that.

 

[Feenie]

I agree, I could always use some more sites. I hear there is one called Anime Castle or something.... Has anyone else seen that one?
