What Makes Someone An Anime Fan?

Published March 2, 2015 by Shay Taree

This is something that I’ve always wondered but what exactly makes someone an anime fan? I mean is it how they look, how much anime merchandise they have, or could it be how much they know about anime?

The reason why I’m asking this question is because I’ve had people say to me when they find out I like anime that I don’t look like an anime fan. I don’t exactly understand what that means but I took it for that it means that I’m not someone they thought would like anime. Which is weird to me because I didn’t know that you needed to look a certain way for you to like or enjoy something.
Also it makes me wonder that would someone who doesn’t own a lot of anime merchandise be looked as less of fan than someone who has a lot of anime merchandise? The same goes for someone who has seen a lot of different kinds of anime and someone who has only really watched mainstream anime such as Bleach and Naruto?
I guess my definition of an anime fan is just someone that enjoys and respects the medium of what it is. To me you don’t have to look a certain way to enjoy anime. You don’t have to own a lot of merchandise to be a fan and you don’t have to have watched every anime out there to be a fan either. 
But what are your thoughts about this topic? I would definitely love to know. Comment down below about what you think and like always I will answer back.

Leibster Award Nomination!

Published March 1, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I was nominated for the Liebster award by 2 different blogs and they were Maria Rants About Stuff and The Reviewers Corner. This award is nominated to blogs that have less that 1000 subscribers so thanks again for nominating me.

Here are the answer to the questions! So I only answered one of the listed questions for the people Ingot nominated by because I wasn’t able to do both. But here they are!

1) What inspired you to start a blog?

Well I guess what inspired me is by watching YouTube. There are several different channels that I watch and a majority of them aren’t anime related. But one of them got started by writing a blog so I thought what would I like to write about that is my hobby.
2) What was your first anime?
My first anime was Sailor Moon. I remember coming home from school when I was in elementary school and watching it while eating my afternoon snack.
3) If you could cosplay any anime character (assume crafting skill and money are not an issue), who would you choose?

I would have to choose Yoruichi from Bleach. I just think she is an awesome character and I love her looks.
4) Apart from reviewing anime, what are some of your hobbies?

Well my other hobby is reading fanfiction as well as reading other books. But I also really like makeup. I love to try out different looks and experiment with different colors. While I’m not the best at it I still love to experiment with it.
5) If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I would go to Japan. It’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit!

6) Which was the saddest anime you’ve ever watched

That has to be Anohana because it had me crying on the first episode!

7) The funniest anime?
Definitely Shin Chan! That’s one anime that has had me laughing out loud all the time.
8) If you could star in any anime, which anime would you choose?
I would definitely have to say Pokemon. I think it would be really cool to be able to travel with my friends and also be able to catch Pokemon who would be my friends as well.
9) If you could take any anime character out on a date, who would you pick?
That is such a hard question but I guess I would have to choose Sesshomaru from Inuyasha. I just think he is just so cute!!!
10) If you could have any career in the world, what would you want to do?
I would love to be an actress!
11) What is a goal you wish to accomplish this year?
The goal I wish to accomplish this year is to start a successful YouTube channel.
