I do not want to be labeled as an otaku just because of my love for these things. Well, as you might have already known, that word has a derogatory meaning behind it... at least, in Japan. I am not Japanese, so you might have been thinking why I would apply that meaning in a different context, which is my hometown far from Japan. However, I would like to apply those words and their meanings in my life, and instead I would not deny it if you simply call me a Japanophile, though I would not exert so much effort to cover almost every popular aspect of Japan, its culture, and its people. So there you have it. As much as possible, let us not discuss about what is being an otaku and what is being not an otaku. Let us just have a peaceful sharing of ideas, likes, and dislikes in this blog, okay? :)

| If you have thought of a female rocker in Japan-- who grew up in Brooklyn, NY, who does not reveal her face and age publicly, and who, nonetheless, sings amazingly and captures the hearts of Jrock-anime fans---upon seeing this picture, then you have guessed I am also one of those fans. Please, just let me be a nano-fan/wannabe at this moment. :3 (By the way, this is my right hand.) |
Though I may have mentioned light and visual novels, I may only be able to share so little about them. After all, anime and manga are the two media I spend a larger chunk of my time on among the four of the media.
Now, why did I name this blog with "anime life lessons"? I did not think too much of what to name this blog, but since I realized that a lot of things can be learned from watching anime and reading manga, I wanted this blog to be filled with the different things I have learned from and appreciated in these media. And most of all, I want to share these wonderful lessons to you, readers. :)
Thanks for reading and watch out for my future posts!
Cheers,
