Word for the week: Jinzō Ningen

Jinzō Ningen = Android

Literally means "artificial human". So why is this the word for the week? I happen to stumble upon my uncle's Dragonball Z Complete Box set of 40 DVD's! I've been on a marathon since I got it watching episodes that saw when I was too young to even understand any of it. You get to hear this especially at the start of the Cell Saga. 


Jinzō Ningen.. Jinzō Ningen!.. Jinzō Ningen ka? Jinzō Ningen desu! 


That's it for the word of the week.This will probably be a new portion in this blog that I'll put up every week...or whenver I can..


So next time you watch Dragonball Kai, watch out for the Jinzō Ningen!!!

High School of the Dead: Plot Holes


Well after the storyline change in episode 8, their were few problems in episode 9, like where Saeko got the katana from? Where do they ride after the Emp event? and lastly why do they have a back entrance?(knowing this, question how they fend off the zombie at the back if nobody is there?) these are the Plot Hole I see in this alternate story. Well at least they add a bit scene on Saeko dark past and the secret kissing scene(that make me relief from my anger and hatred to the alternate story). At least they put the story back on track.

Ichigo's New Look

From Bleach 417 : DEICIDE 19

After training to obtaining the final Getsuga Tenshou, Ichigo appears before his friends ready to face Aizen. Although his friends noticed he looked slightly different. Ichimaru even said he has strong eyes. True his right arm has a bad-ass looking chain and the hilt of Tenza Zangetsu looks somewhat different but even Aizen can't feel a hint of reiatsu coming from him. So what Ichigo did next caught him surprisingly off guard!

I just started watching this today. At first I wasn't so interested. The animation looked like Ragnarok: The anime, and the title seemed so cheesy. Who would want to watch something called Legend of Legendary Heroes? Unexpectedly, after first episode I was impressively hooked.

What's an Otaku?


I was talking to a friend not long ago about blogging and I found out he was also into anime and manga. I told him I was writing on this blog called Otaku Life. Then he looked at me in a weird way and asked, "what exactly does Otaku mean?"

That was actually a pretty good question. I've spoken to a lot of people before but nobody has ever asked me that question, especially from someone who's into anime himself. When I got home I went online and looked up good 'ole Wikipedia.

Basically, for Japanese "Otaku refers to a fan of any particular theme, topic, or hobby." In English "it is usually used to refer to an obsessive fan of anime/manga and/or Japanese culture generally, and to a lesser extent Japanese video games."


So using that as reference I can say that this blog uses the word Otaku in it's english context: anime, manga, video games, and japanese culture enthusiast. 


Being an Otaku is a hobby, sometimes a very expensive one. Well most hobbies are costly. There are collectors, cosplayers, media mongers, scanlators, fan dubbers, forum-ers, bloggers, fan club founders, fan artists, and the list goes on and on. 

Haha! Spanish!


Typical stereo type for Otakus are glasses, unkempt hair, and low profile clothing. Which is funny because most Otakus I know aren't like that at all. Alodia Gosiengfiao, probably the most popular Otaku and Cosplayer in the Philippines even made it to FHM's Sexiest!


A few months ago I stumbled upon a blog called "Otaku Elimination Game" where they diss out blogs and bloggers for claiming to be Otaku even though they aren't.   The biggest name they "Eliminated" was Danny Choo. They said he wasn't really an Otaku. *shrugs*


I love anime and I guess I'm an Otaku. I'm having trouble saying it out loud though. At the back of my mind the word still has a negative feel to it. Especially after watching Genshiken where you get to see how the Japanese Otaku Life really is and why they're looked at in a bad way. I even read in a news that there were Otaku Hunters in Akihabara. Thieves who prey on Otakus because "they have lots of cash, they're worthless, and  they smells like cockroach.." Well, that's what he said in an interview as to why they only target Otakus. 


So, am I proud to be an Otaku? Sure I am. I love anime so much I even postponed a date because there was an episode I didn't want to miss, so yeah. I can say I'm an Otaku and proud to be one.

New Clothes Ripping Hot Samurai School Girls Anime


































The new Anime is Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls. The story is set in the early 21st century — except in this alternate world, the Tokugawa shogunate never lost power and Japan maintained its enforced seclusion from the rest of the world. The 25th shogun assumed the mantle of Japan's leadership 20 years ago, and the student council enforces the suppression of rebellious elements at a giant academy for children of military families at the foot of Mt. Fuji. (Many of the students carry the names of famous historical figures.)

The girls Yukimura Sanada and Matabei Gotō battle the mostly female members of the ruling student council faction such as Sen Tokugawa ("Sen-hime"), Hanzō Hattori, and others. A 16-year-old male student named Muneakira Yagyū and a female Jūbei Yagyū are caught in the middle.

I realize something from all the Anime Girls Battle. The main element that needed on all Anime, "FAN SERVICE!!!" Whether the character a Loli or well-develop woman, there always have fan service.

I've been watching Highschool of the Dead (HOTD) for some time now and I've reached the fifth episode. It's amazing what a bunch of zombies, a lot of violence, and a whopping bunch of fanservice can do.
