You know how you sometimes with ease can spot an otaku in a large crowd? I’m not one of those; I’m not obese, nor do I ever wear Evangelion t-shirts. Yet the other day I was somehow singled out. It’s not that I’m ashamed of anything, what bothers me is that for someone to know, they really need to have good ninja stalking skills.

I was riding the bus home from school, nothing unusual about that. As I’m about to get up and leave for the exit, crazy ninja stalker girl does the same thing. I give her the “ladies first” gesture, not because I consider myself a gentleman but because I rather not have my back turned to a woman. It’s partly for safety reasons but also because you can’t stare at said woman’s behind if you’re not behind her (i.e in stalking position).

After taking a few steps, crazy ninja stalking girl suddenly stops with an eerie smile on her face. I could’ve sworn that her hair covered her eyes just like it does in anime right before someone goes batshit insane. I figured it was karma getting back at me for staring at her cute butt, and for the record, had I died, I’d regret nothing.

I casually walked by as I mentally prepared myself for getting stabbed to death. I saw her open her mouth… waited a few seconds… no pain. It turned out she wanted to know if I was into anime and manga. She showed me a volume of Love Hina and told me how much she loved the series. God must be pulling me leg, that is the only rational explanation.

I never asked her how she knew. I never read manga in public. I do occasionally play wacky jappy games on the DS or PSP but those occurrences are rare and far in between. I prefer being the stalker, not the stalkee.

Help me, Internet! What should I do?

Anime? On my lolitron? No wai!

I’m kinda curious how show like Moetan get greenlit in the first place? I’d love to be present at a meeting where the concept of Moetan is presented to a bunch of middle-aged salarymen. That has to be the most awkward situation ever. I can imagine it goes something like this:

Pervert producer: Ok, have you ever seen one of those crappy drama AVs where the girl is raped by everyone in absolutely every scene before she finally is raped by the one she truly loves?
Salaryman: Umm…
PP: Of course you have. We want to make an anime like that but with one significant difference. The girl has same squeeky voice, is still raped in every scene but she is a seemingly prepubescent girl. You see, little girls appeal to a larger audience in Japan than old 18-year-olds.
SM: Ehm…
PP: Add pantyshots, suggestive poses and implied nudity and we have a recipe for success.
SM: That sounds good and all but what about the plot?
PP: The what?
SM: You know, lets add an enigmatic, longhaired dude, some generic soldiers and a strange black hole thingy. Best story since the renaissance!
PP: Whatever.

What is with the sad face?

My frothing demand for panties increases.

Since when did lolis start using knuckles for self-defense? I guess as long as the candy trick still works I don’t have to worry about anything.
