Have You Ever Been Embarrassed Of Anime Fans?

Published May 19, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I know that this can be a kind of sensitive topic or one where people may wonder what the heck I’m talking about but let me explain. What I mean about this topic is have you ever been embarrassed when you have seen another anime fan very overly excited? I’m just asking this question because I know that us as anime fans can sometimes be scrutinized as being nerdy or not cool but many of us (well I like to think are much more than that and are actually quite cool).

So when you see an anime fan acting how others may perceive us does it make you a little embarrassed that someone may be acting on that stereotype. I’m not going to lie I have had those times. They are far and few between but they have happened. 

  
But how about everyone else? Has this ever happened to you? Did you do something about it? Also how do you feel about those stereotypes when it comes to anime fans? Comment down below and let me know.

P.S. I will be reviewing Sailor Moon Crystal but it won’t be until it has finished airing. Thanks!

Anime Breaks….😴

Published May 18, 2015 by Shay Taree

I just thought of this topic while watching anime this morning while getting ready for work. The current anime in watching I’ve been watching for a while since due to work and other things I haven’t been able to finish it. But it got me thinking about has anyone taken a break from anime or manga to do other things that interest them. 

  
I know that I have and it was when I was in middle school and into some of high school when I wasn’t watching anime at all. At the time it didn’t interest me as much as it does now but still it was a break. It was actually cool to take a break since it got me to explore other interests that I had. Also just to let everyone know I’m not going to be taking a break anytime soon it was just a anime discussion topic I had thought of.

  
Anyways, have any of you ever taken a break from anime and if so how long was it for? What did you do while on that break and what made you come back to watching anime? I would love to know. Comment down below with your answers.

P.S. I’ve been thinking of starting another blog but this one will be a little bit more personal and one for everyone to enjoy. It won’t be about anime a whole lot but it’s going to just be about life in general. Comment down below about that as well since I would like to know if anyone is interested in a blog like that. 

What Annoy’s You About Anime?

Published May 15, 2015 by Shay Taree

Yes I know this is a slightly strange topic but it’s one that I’m interested to know what answers I will receive. But what annoy’s you about anime. This could be anything from similar plots, similar character characteristics, to just the animation styles of some shows.

What annoy’s me about anime sometimes is the fan service. Some fan service is okay but when it starts to be overboard is when I start to get a little annoyed. Sometimes I feel that it can take away from the show because it can become what majority of people start to focus on instead of the plot.

  
But let me know what you think about what I find annoying about anime. Also comment down below what you find annoying about anime. I can’t wait to read your answers.

Favorite Miyazaki Film?

Published May 13, 2015 by Shay Taree

I know that everyone has seen a Miyazaki film at one time or another even if they didn’t know it at the time. But I would like to know which are your favorite ones?

I actually have 2 favorite Miyazaki films and one of them I used to watch a lot because it would always come on TV. My 2 favorites are Kiki’s Delivery Service 

  
and Spirited Away. 

  
I actually didn’t watch Spirited Away until I was in college but I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.

But which are your favorite ones? Comment down below to let me know and why.

What If Anime Was Banned?

Published May 12, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I had seen a forum post about anime trying to be banned and then after I found a Facebook page devoted to banning anime. But the page could possibly be a complete joke. But regardless it got me thinking about what would I do if anime did get banned.

I think first of all that I would be surely pissed off! 

  
I mean what would banning anime do anyway? It hasn’t hurt anybody and it is just another form of entertainment for people to enjoy. I also think that I would still find a way to enjoy it even if it meant me having to sneak and watch it. 

  
Which when I think about it may be pretty cool but also dangerous. 

Can you actually picture going to jail for watching anime or being fined for buying it. That just seems funny to me and also pretty ridiculous.

But what would you do if anime was banned? Would you still watch it regardless or would you try and find something else to partake in. Comment down below and let me know!

i don’t know about everyone else but I would love if I could have an anime character as my best friend! But have you thought about who it would be?

Well I thought long and hard about mine and I honestly think my anime BFF would be Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon. 

  
I think we would have lots of fun just hanging out and going on lots of different adventures although I would have to make her study from time to time. 

But who would be your anime BFF and why? Comment down below and let me know! I can’t wait to read all your comments!

Anime You Expected Not To Enjoy But Did?

Published May 8, 2015 by Shay Taree

I know that many of us have gone in expecting one thing but then completely end up with something else. Many of us go in expecting not to enjoy a specific anime whether it’s because of the art style, genre, or even just the story line. But many times regardless of these things you end up being pleasantly surprised to realize you enjoyed it a lot. 

The show that did this for me is actually now one of my favorites that I can watch over and over again. That show is Ouran High School Host Club. 

  
At first I had actually dropped the show a few minutes into the first episode but then maybe a few months later after hearing a lot about the show I decided to give it another chance and I throughally enjoyed it!

So what show did you expected not to enjoy but you did? Comment down below and let me know!

Anime Hairstyles!

Published May 7, 2015 by Shay Taree

Yes I am doing a post about anime hairstyles since I know that many of us have found them not only cute but also just amazing. Plus besides Disney, anime has given me some unrealistic but also fun ways to try and do my hair.

  
So using the term unrealistic isn’t a bad thing so don’t get mad at me its just my way of saying that my hair doesn’t do what their hair does in the show. My hair is naturally thick so I straighten is chemically and it’s not super long. But I still try to do a few or I at least want to.

  
But how about everyone else? What do you think of anime hair and have you every tried doing the styles that are in the shows? Let me know your experience and what you think my commenting below.

What Do You Think Of Simulcasting Anime?

Published May 6, 2015 by Shay Taree

So this question was asked by Takuto’s Anime Cafe and just to clarify what was meant by this question is what do I think of simulcasting as a whole.

  
To be honest I do like simulcasting anime since it serves it’s purpose of anime fans all over the world being able to enjoy what they love the same time as people in Japan get to experience it.

Now for me how I watch anime is that I love to binge watch my anime. This is mostly because I don’t like waiting each week or every other week in some cases for a new episode. Now there is one anime that I am watching while it’s airing and that’s Sailor Moon Crystal 

  
but I’ve learned that I don’t like it that much. This is mostly because I tend to forget that an episode is airing on that day due to everyday life and plus for me I don’t get the connection with the series like I do when I’m able to watch it straight through. I know that sounds crazy trust me I know.

But what do you think of simulcasting anime? Do you enjoy watch anime every week as it is airing or are you like me and enjoy binge watching your anime once it’s finished? Comment down below and let me know!

Friends & Anime ðŸ˜„😆

Published May 4, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I know that this title sounds strange but I wanted to know how your friends feel about anime in general. Do they watch it? Do they not understand it completely? 

I know I posted about family before when it came to anime but I’m not sure if I included friends. If I didn’t please continue reading and of I did well please continue to read anyway. 

For me at least I have a group of friends that are into anime and really enjoy it and then I have another group of friends which I have known much longer that aren’t really into it. 

The ones that are into it I completely nerd out with and we can literally talk about anime all day!!! 

  
My other group of friends though just kind of look at me like I’m crazy when it comes to anime so I’m definitely the nerd one in the group. Don’t worry it doesn’t bother me at all.

Now my group of friends that aren’t into anime do know that I like it and they kind of understand it but their anime doesn’t go beyond Pokemon and the original Sailor Moon series. For a long time though I didn’t really show them just how much I like anime until probably when I got into college and it’s mostly because I that point I stopped caring about how people thought about me and just was myself. They don’t make fun of me for it they just don’t understand my fascination with it.

  
So I now extend the questions to everyone else! What do your friends think of anime? Are your friends into it or are you like me and have a group of friends that love it and a group of friends that don’t understand it? Leave your comments below and let me know. 

Also thank you everyone for your input on my last post I loved reading the suggestions I got. If you have more you can send them to my kik if you have one which is ShayChan08 or you can email them to me at animereviewergirl@gmail.com.
