Ha. I was slightly different. Anime was popular in Thailand, so I had no problem there but when I moved to the United States I downplayed my interest in it and just went with what I liked and what other people liked as well since I'm pretty eclectic. In retrospect I wish I didn't since Anime and Gaming are big parts of my life - so there's a lot of value in what you say.

Rurouni kenshin is chock full of references to those three religions, both the anime and the manga because of the period it takes place in, durring the westernization of japan.

So far I can only seem to find one or two of his videos reading fanfics, even on his site. Its a shametoo because the web of dimensions one was really funny.

Don't criticize the cosplayers like two ft away from them. At the cons I have been to there have been alot of perfectionist assholes who would always find something wrong with peoples costumes and talk loudly what they should have done better to their groups. I admire anyone bold enough to put the money and time into cosplaying. Cosplayers= awesome!

for me Barakamon definitely is the anime of the season! its so emotional and funny. feels so good to watch it, actually makes me happy! what do u guys think?
