Difference between...

(not otaku but here goes...)  

Difference between being the time and being a clock.

A clock must display accurate time.


A time can be good or bad, as long as it is timing the passage of time in the world.


A time can’t go with you physically.


A clock should not be changed to a wrong time or time zone location.


A clock can’t change the time to suit itself or another. Unless sync with digital cloud clocks.


The time can read on all clocks.

Not all times are read the same, even at difference instances.

A clock itself cannot be good or bad, as long as it is accurate and can be read.


Clocks can be artistically beautified whereas time cannot.



Time can be interpreted differently, where the clock should be read for time.

2nd Prime Time: Hero --> ULtd.



2 n d   P r i m e   T i m e

H e r o   U n - l i m i t e d!

What's your idea of a hero? Most people think of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Living Flash, Spiderman, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Storm and the list goes on and on. In American culture, these are the best of the best. They fight the bad guys, and win. They "kick ass and take names", as they say in North America. They're the unlimited heroes of comics.



Through communication with aliens, the mangaka in Japan have created a newer kind of hero, a better one. Referring to the early process of creating animation where Looney Toons was the standard cartoon. After that, around the time of Toonami, anime took over in pop culture and the fires of anime are still churning for bad guys to go right into. Though this is just the humble opinion of a random RPG loving otaku. That new hero, that burns baddies slowly is actually, maybe a weaker hero compared to the superheroes of the west, right?

They are the limited heroes. That, or Comic-con doesn't need NYAF to keep their attendance records (or do they?). The limited heroes are the shounen heroes of manga. They come from humble beginnings and are made fun of daily, before they actually become heroes. Even after that, they're always self-conscious about who they're fighting and why...

Short answer:  Because they were made fun of.

Long answer:  Because they are the limited hero which actually means that they're NOT heroes.


That's summed up best by Monkey D. Luffy: "Heroes have to share the meat..."

And began with Goku, Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, Yusuke Yurameshi. They all don't want to share the meat... Especially Inuyasha (gomenasai) (^^;)

Being that they're not heroes, makes them limited heroes. That's why they don't always have the "great power" that vanquishes all enemies no matter how strong or terrorfying. That's because they're gonna have to fight over dinner, over a hotpot or yakiniku preferably (It's Japan...). They need friends, unlike Superman in his Arctic Fortress of Might where he longs for friends (though that would make anyone very good... or evil).



When they're on their way to the top, they fall down. The stronger ones, get back up only to fall again and again. See they're only as strong as their mangaka (hehe). In explanation, they're always either getting into it with villains or actively seeking villains to make congruent to goodness (kick their butt). We should all know that, especially since most of us are always getting into it. The limited hero is cooler than because they would save you or me, given the choice. And the limited hero would probably get older while doing it, as opposed to being immortal like Superman or Batman.

The question is:  
Are you a limited or a unlimited hero? 
Are you an Otaku for life?

2nd Prime Time: D2D


D2D: Dream 2 Dream 

This begins the newest O.Rev. series, 2nd Prime Time. This is meant to highlight various otaku and pop culture memes that have "it", referring to the essence of being hip, fresh, and cool as passionate followers of our nerdy niche of pop culture, i.e. anime, manga, video games, and other pop culture otherwise created and conceived in Japan, that small yet way advanced Asian country. There is no format, the information is intended solely for the readers.

Style + Fashion- ~~~ Colors~~~
To gain a real style that sets you apart in the world of popular culture, one way to achieve this without actually discovering new articles of clothing and accessories is to change your colors. They can be changed to match your unique ideals. Use the link right over this text to find some color meanings for your own new style. Choose any clothes, the ones you like only only on color for a while and you'll notice a change. If it doesn't work, it'll buy you enough time to get more clothes and colors!

Ego + Power ~~~RPG~~~
In RPG and shounen anime, all characters have a class and a power. We know that, we here at O.Rev. have taken that journey for what seems to be years. We've seen conventions and we've been near other anime fans in their unique late adolescence or adulthood... We're convinced in the blaring controversy of the emerging current events, that normal, regular people are endowed with special traits. This is to save new anime manga video gamers the stress of wondering why not. Don't. There is a wikihow for everything, try learning Yusuke's spirit blast or Goku's Kamehameha before bed. You will get those powers in your dreams, trust me it works. It beats not having good dreams...


Accessories~~~ Journal/Smartphone notes
Use your smartphone for notes. If you take down enough notes, you'll have a log of notes from various dates that you can check. Once you have a long list, it helps. Just don't lose your phone or you'll lose your long range track of thoughts. And your phone.

Kimochi that You won't Let Go!

Eren will be haunted by his feelings whether or not he wins!
Maybe you've heard this phrase in a Jpop song before...

"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!

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!
