Most of my family/friend(s) are pretty ok with it, when they see what I invest my time on doing.


One of the weirdest moments in my life was when I was at a bar with my friend and he caught a glimpse of my phone wallpaper and was like "Ore no imouto?" I never really expected it from the guy, but later on he also cracked a joke about "3D pig disgusting" and we shared a pretty good laugh about it.


All in all, people dislike what they find strange or weird. I don't understand the dakimakura thing, or even the hot glue thing, but if that's people's joy, then I'm not going to judge them for it. I could wish for the same from the rest of the world, but I know that's never going to happen.

Older shit that's sold out online.

Though you'd be better to shop around the stores in Pacific Mall. They have a higher markup (like $20-30 from online price, post-shipping), but you'll come across some rare finds if you know where to look.

My friend works in the condo building where the store owner for Anime Xtreme lives. I heard second hand about how he pretty much hates almost everyone that shops there because they're "too otaku" for him.

Like, opening up a fucking anime merchandise store wasn't going to attract that kind of crowd.

I've stopped hiding my powerlevel as much, to the point where I don't bother hiding that I watch anime (eroge and shit is still kept to myself). Not that I go around announcing it either, but for example when people ask me what my favorite movie is I honestly answer "Revolutionary Girl Utena Adolescence Apocalypse," which usually gets fun reactions.

These days most people where I live won't really care if you watch anime, although it's still considered a nerd hobby. I have no problems with being considered a nerd. It's not like they can't tell just by looking at me.

The only reason why you bother telling other people that you like anime is to illicit an emotional reaction from them, and the fact that you're an attention whore.

Think of it like smoking.

Smokers don't know that they stink their chair/bed/mousepad. The smoke scent lingers on fucking everything and it won't come off. Opening the window won't do anything.

I think the best way to describe that fapping smell is the kind of smell you detect when you walk into a /tg/ shop on a game night.

Only one or two things, to be honest, and it took a lot of scouring.

I found a Konata figma and a Tsuruya nendroid a couple of months back. I ended up triple checking for signs of counterfeiting, and to be honest, if either of them are counterfeit, they did a bang-up job.

I think most of the merch that is counterfeit are Gundams.

Last I remember (haven't been for a couple of months) there was a store on the second floor near the food court/stage area that sold a lot of models/figures. It had a decent stock with an interesting selection, but I didn't really go through the trouble checking if it was fake.


You really have to hunt, to be honest--but it's like that for anything that you can't get online.

No, constructing and maintaining a facade of lies that I have to put on whenever I'm around people I see almost every day definitely takes more effort.

Where does the smell come from? Is it just sweat? Couldn't that just be the smell of body odor? I take a shower every few days, I don't sweat in my room, let alone while masturbating, and I'm not fat.

All in all I don't think I smell very much, if at all. I definitely would not smell like masturbation, whatever that may smell like.

I think it's much more likely that people who masturbate in their rooms in whatever manner you're thinking of probably just show different body language.

Fuck if I know, I'm not a scientist. I'm guessing a combination of pheromones, ball sweat and jizz odor that just hangs around in the air.

On the topic of otaku and powerleveldom... I told my anime club president that I'd like to introduce Hokuto no Ken and start running it every week.

I showed the pilot to the exec committee, and every single one of them said it's a shitty DBZ rip off, yes DBZ, and it's nothing more than an animated kung fu series with no plot.

I normally don't come to /jp/ for consolidation, but that feel man... that feel when your friends say Hokuto no Ken is a DBZ rip off.
