with the exception of college, wherever i end up (school, work, social circles, etc), i’ve always been blessed (?… i guess) with a person or two who are into anime so my own fandom didn’t die out. but nowadays, i don’t care anymore what people think about me. i’m happy the way i am so they shouldn’t rain on my parade.

Never would have thought you were fifteen! boy you girls have a lot of luck to watch lots of BL and anime at such a young age ^^ (gah, after saying that I feel old)

Well I’ve always been a social hermit, in fact anime helped me open up and feel good about myself, so no I don’t regret being a fujoshi and otaku for the exception of not having enough money to satiate all my anime shopping.

Even when society scorns your fangirlism… I just don’t give a damn anymore, I’m done trying to please other people’s expectations, and all otaku should feel the same (of course good manners are a must).

First of all…I’d like to read “Why bishies never punch each other”

You know, I still get surprised when I remember your age. I don’t think I was a dumb piece of crap when I was that age either, but I still think you sound smarter than I did back then. Or rather…my fictional writing style from back then makes me want to barf anyway.

I think a lot of us “geeks” in any fandom (anime, sci-fi, whatever) have our own stories about why we get involved in fiction. I’ve probably always been a dork (I blame my brother), so I just got more into dorky stuff to deal with people making fun of me, but I’d say my otaku level came from being sick and stuck in my house all the time. No matter what causes it, if you’re in your house for an extended period of time and have an anime hobby, your hobby will grow and take up more of your time.

I don’t regret being an anime fan either (it kept me from thinking that those two years where I was sick were a complete waste of time). I don’t think anyone should unless they turn into a super creepy lolicon. Being an anime fan helped make you who you are today. I can attribute one special half-anime movie to all of my tastes in entertainment. Without anime, I’d be a very different person, and I’m not sure I’d like who I might become.

Anyway who regrets being an anime fan is just being stupid. It’s fine to regret spending all of your time on anime, but don’t regret being a fan entirely. If you enjoyed it, it was worth it!

I’m excited for Skip Beat as well! I’ve heard of Bitter Virgin before, but I never got around to reading it. Though considering you liked it, I’ll give it a try.

I’d only regret it if it made me unhealthy, physically or mentally. So far, it hasn’t, so I guess it’s not a bad thing. ^_^

I literally refreshed Anime Nano and this post showed up lol.
For me, there’s always that clear divide between anime and RL. The internets, blogging and anime are for nerding out, and RL is for the sun (it burns my eyes!) and social interaction. But there is no way I’d regret being an anime fan. I’ve seen some anime that entertain me, some make me laugh, and on rare occasions make me become melancholic and wax philosophic on the nature of life itself. There aren’t many things that have exposed me to such a variety of feelings and thoughts, and still entertain me with whatever I see.

So do I regret being an anime fan? No.

Aside: You’re fifteen and I’ll never value your opinions again for the next two years XD! It’s actually great to see that here are younger and younger bloggers arriving on the internet, ready to draw, think, watch, read, write and converse with other like-minded people. Fresh perspectives are always needed in any sort of field. Incidentally, you’re actually my senpai in anime watching and owning a blog ^^;

Hmm, I don’t think I would’ve ever guessed you were fifteen.

If you’re wondering why no subs for Nabari are out, it’s cuz Funimation sent out C&Ds to almost every fansub group -Shinsen, yuurisan, Rumi, etc.
