This Month --> Insider Anime Memes
There's more anime in your memes than ever before. Since anime conventions are almost over stateside and there are so many anime fans everywhere, its easy to miss a few anime references to real life or memes just for anime fans. Anyway here they are... How many do you already know?

Tropes Turned Real
For popular anime/tv tropes that need some realistic pzazz
"I can do anything, better than you"
 |
| Ergggh, Gary wanted Bulbasaur!!! ...but didn't get one. |
"I can't do anything right"
 |
| Not Nagisa, ...Tomoya |
"Back to back, the 100 to 2 fight"
"Normal, average friendly royal elite"
 |
| Genkai isn't really elite, but she is super strong and nice once she knows Yusuke... |
 |
| That's all, now get off my porch you darn' kids! |

Kimochi that You won't Let Go!
 |
| Eren will be haunted by his feelings whether or not he wins! |
"Hanasa-nai" (Romanization)
"Won't let go" (Translation)
We all have feelings that we just won't let go no matter what. Let's keep this blog post short and to the point. Those feelings are sometimes inexpressible and intangible. It's our otaku fandom and aspiration to be more like the main characters of an anime that allows us to keep trying to find those feelings and use them to make happier. It's basically your duty now that you're an Otaku!
Like in Bakuman, Mashiro seems like he's always working tirelessly to make a successful anime and marry his crush. But it goes deeper than that because Mashiro is so in love with anime and manga that he's never fazed by hard work and his more skilled rival. In fact, Mashiro's kimochi is so strong that he probably wouldn't have it any other way than work tirelessly because he makes it FUN!
Takagi isn't pictured but Takagi's kimochi lies more in the expressing of his story in manga form. Takagi's kimochi and feelings are in every story. Just like our feelings are in everything we do! Ganbare! Try to have stronger good feelings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 |
| Naruto and Sakura? |
Naruto's crush on Sakura is another example. He can't express his love for her because he knows she loves Sasuke. ...and as a future Hokage, Naruto can't stand to live in a world where a comrade would desert the leaf village. Naruto's unexpressible kimochi can only be resolved once he convinces Sasuke to return to Leaf village. But Sakura is onto him and notices that his kimochi is stronger than any normal person.
Maybe she actually begins to like him for his tsuyoi kimochi!
 |
| It's a girl's world! |
Don't forget the girls of anime! A lot of girls just want to fall in love with their crush. All the girls in Toradora have unexpressible kimochi that they won't let go even if each other has the same feelings. This happens in real life a lot. Don't give up girls! One day your crush will like you back and choose you over your friends!
No matter what, your feelings are yours
Your Kimochi that You won't Let Go!
So don't let go of them no matter what!
Otaku life!

"Perfect" Cherry Blossom Trio! [SUPER Touhou Character Profile!] {Part 2}
[Fire
Ran is the proud owner of Chen. But at the same time she herself is a shikigami and has her own owner. It is very rare for a shikigami to have their own shikigami as well. This alone should be taken as an indication of Ran's strength.
Ran is a shikigami in possession of a nine-tailed fox youkai. In folklore it is said that a fox grows an extra tail every 100 years until it has 9 tails. This means Ran is at least 800 years old! She is a formidable opponent and is the Extra Stage Boss of PCB. Her spell cards reflect her place as one of the strongest shikigami in existence, and her spell card "Shikigami Chen" even calls upon her subordinate to attack!
Ran has the appearance of a human nine-tailed fox. She wears a jester cap to hide her fox ears, and is almost always seen wearing a blue and white robe. When Ran removes her hat, you should run for your life, it is a sign that she's serious. With a threat level of "High," I wouldn't stick around for the carnage that would happen if you were to get in her way!
Ran's
name was given to her from her master. In fact, Ran's sole job is to take care of her master's business while she sleeps. It's not a luxurious job, but Ran is just a faithful to her master as Chen is to Ran. Ran also harbors strong feelings of affection for Chen, to the extent that she can't stop praising the bakeneko youkai enough. In fan depictions, Ran is seen screaming out Chen's name in bliss over how cute she is. "Cheeeeeeeeeeeeen!" is one of the most famous memes associated with Ran.
Ran is, in many ways, seen as a complete oddball by her fans. She goes crazy over Chen, to the extent that she has nosebleeds over her cuteness. She's even known as a frequ
ent streaker, (yes, streaker. You read that right) and was hilariously dubbed "Suppatenko" (lit. "Nekkid Heavenly Fox"). If anyone knows why, please tell me. Her most famous spell card is "Princess Tenko," a homage to a famous Japanese magician. I assume the meme's name comes from that spell card...?
Ran is also given less credit than she deserves. Sure, she's just an animal when it comes down to it, but in her shikigami form she's a genius mathematician and the strongest youkai beast in Gensokyo. So what if she likes aburaage (deep fried tofu slices) like foxes do in Japanese folklore? So what if she actually goes shopping in human villages, and gathers attention for merely examining and protecting Gensokyo's borders? I still wouldn't underestimate her. Even if she's very mild-mannered, it really wouldn't be wise to mess with her......
Huh?! Don't tell me you did... that to her?! You... hugged her tails?! This isn't Chen ya know, she's going to destroy you!
*BOOM, FZZ KAPOW, GACHAN*
*20 minutes later*
*20 minutes later*
I-i-impossible... to beat Ran, you... you can't be an ordinary human! There's no way-
"Who's bold enough to wake me so willfully?"
C-check us out a-again for P-p-p-part 3! I'm outta here!

Pokemon is not dead yet!
How many of your friends have admitted to loving Pokemon as a kid? Just about everyone was on the Pokemon bandwagon, right? But then eventually, like all fads, Pokemon (in the US) faded into obscurity. Diamond/Pearl series is only for hardcore fans of Pocket Monsters (and elementary school kids). But in Japan Pokemon is just another anime. It has a following similar to Dragon Ball Z or other long-running series'. Why else would Japan make a whooping 660+ episodes?
Pokemon is far from being old-news to enthusiasts in Japan. And because of that, many Pokemon crossover videos have surfaced on Nico. Check some of them out!
Clannad - Pikachu Daikazoku
Naruto Shippuuden Op 2 - Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Style
Ash Ketchum Fukkireta
So my (and Ash's) advice for you? Don't underestimate the popularity of Pokemon!

Welcome to
The Otaku Reviewers
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.
