Otaku Helping Others: Character Personality Types...An Intro

This is Otaku Helping Others part Eight. It's for hardcore otaku and possibly people who are bored.

There once was a European psychologist named Carl Jung. He created these personality types. Later other psycholgists took his personality types and found a way to creat 16 different types of personalities. More or less any of us falls into one (or maybe two closely related) personality types.

Click here for another accurate test!
Click here for a fast personality test! - But it might not be accurate

If you take your personality test in all three or even find more tests and they all kinda get different results, the best way to resolve it is to choose the one that you like the most. The one that gives you the most freedom as a person.

There's a website called www.personalitycafe.com where Otaku who claim to be expert (or just very good) typlogists try to find the type of various anime characters. Why don't we see what they think? (and other forums on the net)

Sawada Tsunayoshi
(Katekyoushi Hitman Reborn!) Sawada Tsunayoshi or Tsuna for short is both an INFP and an INFJ according to one poster.

 Normal Tsuna is an INFP, timid, rather be alone, carefree and kinda goofy but he really cares about others. Like me... ^^

Tsuna in Hyper Dying Will Mode is an INFJ, only the J changed meaning that tsuna isn't goofy anymore and will stop at nothing to get things done.



 (Gundam 00) Setsuna F. Seiei is said to be an INTJ. An introverted person who relies heavily on intuition. Dominated by a world of thoughts and his feelings are a mere product of his thoughts. The J is also in his type for the same reason as Hyper Dying will Tsuna.







 (Cowboy Bebop) Spike Spiegel is reported to be an ISTP. He's cool, calm, and about a strategy. The calm carefree aspect is the P. He's a Sensate person, doing extremely well in fights relying not on intuition as much as his opponents movement.




 Much has been said about Goku (DragonballZ). The reports are mixed between ESFP and ENFP. That's an obvious mix. He relies on both intuition and the opponents movements to fight and in his relationships. He's obviously an extravert, however some think he might like his alone time. And Feeling care and emotion for others is always in everyone's report. Oh and being a carefree P. I would argue that he's unconsciously J for Judging as he will stop at NOTHING to win, a characteristic of the J types. But then he always wants mercy for some of his opponents so lets leave the P.




Bulma (DragonballZ) one of Goku's friends is reported as an ENTP. Two different forums agreed on this actually. She's extraverted and likes to talk. She relies on her intuition especially when she doesn't want to be on Planet Namek in the Frieza Saga. And she's pretty rational mixed with carefree.




Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop) is said to be either ENFP or INFP. Wait ENFP? Or INFP? Wasn't that Tsuna's? I guess that's why they say she's extraverted. She has no problem dealing with people so I would say she's definitely an ENFP.

That brings me to a point. These are personalities, not if you're positive or negative. Faye can be a pain to Spike and Jet through her attitude.

Ok! Last one guys! Ichigo Kurosaki! (Bleach)
People are deciding well have decided on two very different personality types. One is ENFJ and the other is ISFP. Well if you want to continue this as a hobby to find out more about yourself. What you'll have to do is choose which one you think he is!

I think he's an ISFP. A fairly private person who likes to be immersed in the world (oxymoron). He feels for his friends and all of Karakura town, reacting to stuff instead of being proactive, P.

If you want to see what people have reported, just go to Google.com and search the characters name and "MBTI". There are many internet forums dedicated to this sort of stuff. Maybe you might even characterize them. For me it helps me understand the whole MBTI better to have illustrations. Oh and another thing. People can be even more than their ideal personality. An anime character is limited to his or her story.

Otaku Helping Others! Part 3

Today's "Otaku Helping Others!" post is about...

Being a member of S O C I E T Y

Finding a Job!

You may ask, "What does finding a job have to do with the world of anime and manga?"
And I'll respond, "Any true otaku (anime lover) knows that the world of anime and manga is full of stories where the main character (or side character) must find a job..."

Let's take a look O.O


In the 'slice of life' anime "Clannad", Tomoya, the main character got a job right out of high school. He didn't think college was right for him. In Japan college is a serious place. From an early age school is fairly competitive in Japan, even in high school they post your test scores in rank order. College is naturally the next step in line with all of that.




Nagisa, Tomoya's girlfriend also got a job right out of high school.

Let's learn ROMAJI!!
Romaji is basically Japanese but using the english alphabet, their language comes with it's own writing.
Shigoto - Work or job.
Arubaito - Job or part-time job.
Shigoto is the term that those with a good full-time job will use and arubaito (or simply baito) is used more for part-time jobs and gigs.

In "Great Teacher Onizuka", Onizuka acted on his dream to become the best teacher in Japan. He ended up getting a job at a private school because those schools don't require as many qualifications. The same is true for private schools here.






However before Onizuka became a teacher he thought he would never get a job. That was when he became a truck driver and nicknamed himself GDO, Great Driver Onizuka. Soon after starting that job he found out he was chosen by a private school and sped there using a company truck...

Now who thought that anime cared so much about people getting jobs and making a living?? Did you think it was all saving the world and Kamehamehas??

But sometimes people don't get a job...


In "Welcome to the N.H.K" Sato thought there was a large scale conspiracy against him and dropped out of college. He started to stay in his apartment all day and live off his parent's money. He became a NEET. NEET means "not (in) education employment (or) training".





This girl decided to help him get back on his feet. She wanted to teach him how to go back to society. He looked down on the lessons but they changed him. He slowly wanted to make a living... He started slow making an erotic dating sim with his friend and trying to sell MMO money.



This blog is something like a homage to Welcome to the NHK... However I am working on a baito and would like to find shigoto that could let me buy a house...

What does Cowboy Bebop and Gintama have in common??
Well in both of these anime, the characters do work-for-hire. In Gintama, Gin-sans group does random jobs for the townsfolk. In Cowboy Bebop, Spike, Jet, and Faye are bounty hunters and try to bring in convicted criminals but they always seem to have hard luck getting any real money because the crooks either slip away, get cleared, or some other excuse...

Happy job hunting!!

And remember, follow your dream!

This is RPGHero, signing out!

Looking for the Twilight Zone in Anime??

Konbanwa fellow otaku. RPGHero here, reporting from... The Twilight Zone.

Just kidding haha.

I know there are many many of us out there who are fans of science fiction. This is a weird world we live in, however only weird in a bad way. But the stories of science fiction are strangely different, like the remedy. How many of you have played Chrono Cross?

and liked the feeling of being a teenager who traveled to his own parallel universe and fixed the distortion to boot?

Well we all like our share of science fiction... Just think about all of the science fiction based titles out there.

There's "Full Metal Alchemist"

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is an awesome series and there are many elements of science fiction within. In the new Brotherhood series they are still dealing with alchemy and a philosopher's stone that can do any alchemy. However all of the Humunculi come from an entity that decided it wanted to become a perfect existence. Definitely sci-fi masterpiece worthy.

Then "Chobits"

One big thing about the future is the possibility of humanoid robots that will begin to have emotions. This is the theme of chobits!

If you like Chobits then you'll like "Time of Eve"

Time of Eve is like Chobits but the emotional intelligence needed to watch and comprehend the plot is alittle bit higher. For older viewers only because prejudice is more of a theme mixed in with the humanoid robot theory.

If you haven't watched "Akira" you should either watch it now or stop being a serious anime fan

Akira is a sci fi movie with different themes, basically ESP and a futuristic setting. This is definitely for older audiences because of the graphic and darker quality of the plot. But it is an anime masterpiece and is acclaimed by the industry and by otaku at large!

Two words "Cowboy Bebop"

If Akira is a masterpiece than Cowboy Bebop is in the same league if not higher! Sci fi? Yes, Futuristic. Want to visit Mars and see the skyline at night? Look no further. This show is one for everyone's personal collection. Definitely buy it because every show involves themes that every educated otaku can take to heart!

Other titles you must check out are "Ghost in a Shell", "Paprika", "Code Geass", "Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and "Final Fantasy Spirits Within", etc.

Need Money Advice??

Look no further I have compiled data from various anime in order to give you a handbook of money making and saving tips!

Do you feel like you're down in the dumps? Been gambling away your life savings? Or have the loan sharks been knocking at your door lately? Well have no fear, you can be rich in less than ::cough cough:: days.



Step number one: Envision yourself rich. Once you envision the goal every action you take will be toward getting to that goal. ...I like to envision this whole picture.



Step number two: Do something! Do anything to get closer to your goal. Anything's better than being a Madao though... And you thought I was going to say pinch every penny... Sometimes you gotta let the little money get away so you can chase legitamate amounts of money.



Step number three: Turn your talents into money. If you like to dabble in alchemy transmute some money. If you dabble in computer science create the new gaming system.



Step number four: Only spend your money on your goals. Only spend money on worthwhile persuits. Also, be careful of gold-diggers, even if someone as sexy as Faye asked you for money you just have to say no.



Step number five: Recruit followers, even recruit your friends to help you make money.



Step number six: Money buys any little trinket you want. Even balls with stars in them. And you were thinking I was going to tell you to wish for money using Dragonballs. Hey to each his own. In your world there might be a loophole where you can wish upon little glowing balls, but only if they're attached to... (I don't wanna get sued).


Thank you for reading,
Good luck on your Quest for Money!

Vic Mignogna and Steve Blum are MEAN!

Makes me want to not support Cartoon Network but c'mon if you were one of these guys would you bash your fans (referring to the last video)?
UPDATE:  What if RPGhero was a Sweaty Glomper man? I'd still want to hug Luci Christian. But what if she made a song about corny blogger men, I'd feel bad but I wouldn't deny that I am a blogger! Just like fangirls should never deny that they're fangirls, the backbone of American otakudom.

Yaoi Fan Girls ^


Cosplayer Guys ^


Convention mothers ^


"Cheap Ole Hallway Sleeper Guys" ^

And the meanest one of them ALL!
Their "tribute" to "sweaty glomper girls"

Welcome to
The Otaku Reviewers



This blog, "The Otaku Reviewers", was started in February of 2010 on this very same platform, Blogger. At first, it was a venture into the informational and informal world of comics, anime, video games, and Japanese culture. In other words, just a random blog.

Over time, the founder of the blog credited with the pseudonym "RPGhero" was joined by two fellow bloggers and friends with the names "Chansu" and "Deretsun". Together the three bloggers looked up interesting Japanese culture facts, recommended new anime, talked about their own "otaku" interests, and traveled across the United States to various anime conventions.

There have been off periods when the blog ceased production of content and there have been times when there would be dozens of blog posts per week. The schedule varies depending on the lives of the people behind the alias'. However the pattern is that we always get back into the game with even newer information about Japanese culture, anime, video games, and other nerdy hobbies.

The motto of our blog is:
"A cure for your apathy and an inspiration for your dreams. ...Applies to Otaku, anime fans, J-pop junkies, and the like"

The purpose is to blog about cool stuff related solely to anime and otaku stuff. There's no other reason we're doing this.

If you like our blog, please support us in however small a way that you would like. We appreciate our readers!
