Hmm...I don't think I watch enough of them actually. I really haven't seen too many of them. Probably 10 or so movies and I'd guess only 3 or 4 series. I just recently got hold of episodes 1-8 of Hellsing(I agree its excellent). I need to get the rest of them from my friend very soon.
BTW how many episodes are there of Hellsing? I only know of 13, but I've heard that the 13th episode doesn't really finish the story.

ps: you should be assamed that you misspelled ashamed

Sorry but I can't believe that. Its just a little too far fetched. Kinda like something you'd see in...an anime

no, I'm not...I watch it occasionally but not much; allthough I do know a bit about it by reading on the internet (and visiting these forums, heh) and I also like the drawing style, I wouldnt call myself an otaku, not even near.
I'm also not a japanoholic, no rpg fan, nothing. In fact, makes me sometimes wonder why I'm hanging around on these forums so much. Must be the people ...and the psx emulation (that was the original reason

)

Recca · February 6th, 2003, 16:34

Really didn't see to much anime before but now i can't stop.
So yes my life is ruled by Anime and i can't stop but im not ashamed of it.

Not much of an anime otaku but I do watch anime to kill some time or when I feel bored.

I dont go buying those expensive anime DvDs or some anime figurines and stuff like that. I just leech or borrow from my friends

otaku doesn't necessarily related to anime. otaku can mean anyone who's fanatism inflicts heavily on his social life.

nyaa

Napro · February 7th, 2003, 16:01

well, in the west it's generally accepted as a term for an anime freak; I know that literally it's different.

Omega · February 7th, 2003, 17:17

It depends, to be a otaku and a anime freak are something really different
