Unrelated #1: Manga and anime

Yea, for a fucking nerd that I am, pathetic trash of this universe that should be flushed with all the rest of the filth... Whoa, stop it.

I like video games, role-playing games, pokemon in all forms, Dragon Ball is more important to me than god and I even play Minecraft a bit. So yea, You can call me a nerd. But tell me- how many nerds listen to Omnium Gatherum, are talkative retards to girls and can beat the living shit out of You? Judging me by my looks is one of the worst mistakes you can make, I'm actually a depraved sociopath, potential rapist and homicidal. But I try to fit in this society, so I keep my worst side on hold :P Anyway, call me what You want, like I would care anyway. I'm not 13 years old anymore, even mentally (arround 15-16 I guess?)

So, intro is out, let's talk about anime!

I don't watch anime.

This changed arround 6 months ago when I watched Hellsing Ultimate, all 10 episodes, and recently I watched 25 episodes of Attack On Titan.

The reason I don't watch anime on a daily basis is the same why I don't watch any tv series or shows- it's very hard for me. I'd rather watch a 3 hour movie than 9 * 20 min episodes of something. This is why I didn't watch any episode of Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or any other thing 70% of people on this planet advised me to watch. Also, this is a reason I didn't watch Full Metal Alchemist the anime, or new ediions of Dragonball and Pokemon (still, pokemon anime is the worst thing in this franchise- manga is totally different, more adult, badass, awesome and emotional). When I was 5-7 I watched Dragon Ball and this show was really a thing that is a fundament of my life :D

Hellsing Ultimate was different thing. It was so awesome, dark, brutal, well made and animated that I had no choice, short adventures of a vampire king and fighting with vampire nazis? It was hard for me but I watched all episodes, and just to stay interested I did it in one go. Attack on Titan is quite simillar, when I learned of Eren, the protagonist it really blew me off. I don't know why, but I just love people driven by hatred, vengence and anger, almost to the point of loosing their own mind, and the anime cought that feeling perfectly.


I like manga, but only when the idea is interesting to me, I didn't read like 200* mangas and even advising me to read one is usually a bad idea because I usually don't care enough to check it out. Only my sister has an impact on my manga reading, because she buys them. I strongly avoid reading manga online, as I wanna support the artist just like I do with music, I even went as far as buying 8 Detroit Metal City books, which cost a small fortune -_-'  My favourite manga is Dragon Ball, because it seems I was born to be its fan, I love everything there is to love in it and you won't find a better specialist than me in it. Second is I guess Attack On Titan, hard to say comparing to Full Metal Alchemist which was the second one to me earlier. I also love Detroit Metal City and that's pretty much it. The only manga I read entirely online was the pokemon adventures, but it's near impossible to get it here. And I strongly advice to read it if you like pokemon games but not the terrible anime. Same with Detroit Metal City, it's wicked and awesome, and about metal music. Which I should be talking about, not this crap.

I'm sorry.

The reason You should watch anime and read manga is simple. There are TeamFourStar which make a living of making parodies of it. You know, if it was poorly made I would rage and rain hell on them for fucking with my beloved Dragon Ball, Hellsing Ultimate or Attack on Titan. But those guys ARE the real deal. I would even go as far as saying that these parodies are the main reason I use the Internet on a daily basis. Check them out if You haven't yet. It's an order.
