otome? ota-kei? otaku? I'm confused
My Life
Hey there, I'm at my cabin at the moment, watching the third Inuyasha movie. Because I can. As you will notice, I added a new thing to my post, Anime News. I know Blink has something like it, but I am not stealing this from her. Anyway, I got the newest Anime Insider, I think it's the newest. #31. Anyway, I decided to share some of the anime stuff inside it. Not to mention I'm just a person who lives secluded from the world in a small town so I don't get any of the anime channels or lots of manga. So don't expect me to know a lot of anime. I'm going to move some where than here and...yeah. Anyway, Sacabato Samurai wanted me to post my story, I will. I'm just really busy so I can't do it this week. Woah, I just thought of something, If I have enough money to buy magazines, and I don't have enough to buy anime or manga. I wonder if...
Shippou That's because you don't have a job yet.
Wha...how did you get here?
Shippou: It's 'Shippou Month' here isn't it. And you haven't asked me to guest star on your site. You didn't do that to Miroku and Sango either.
They were busy. And I'm going to get a job you little creature from the black lagoon.
Shippou: but it's the last week that I'm going to be your theme. And you don't want me on. YOU'RE MEAN **cries**
Shippou, that stuff won't work on me. I know that you are connected to leprechauns somehow.
Shippou: Leprechauns? what are those
AH HA. you're trying to trick me into thinking you are not an leprechaun. Well that won't work because I've got my foil hat on **blows raspberry**
Shippou: well, first of all. Foil hats were from that movie 'Signs' and they were meant to stop aliens from controling you mind. And second of all, you are not wearing a foil hat.
But-but...oh I see, your leprechaun tricks are trying to fool me. Well it's no use.
Shippou: baka
WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU RUNT **punches Shippou multiple times.
Reviews
as you can see, Samurai Champloo and FMA both ended so Inuyasha is going to be alone for a while. So I added more info on the newest Inuyasha episode in America, until I find new anime to review
Inuyasha Mountain of Demons: Survival of the Duo (episode #138): 4 out of 5
What it's about: While on a mission to purify the Ken blade, Kagome and Akitoki become separated from Inuyasha and the others.
Episode Allusions:
Yu Yu Hakusho
The names of the demon ninjas: Genbu, Byakko, Seiryu, and Suzaku are the same as the names of demons from the Yu Yu Hakusho episode, "Beasts of Maze Castle".
What's in a name? Apparently, a lot of for Japanese anime and manga connoisseurs. The term "otaku" has long been the label for hard-care Japanese fans of manga and anime, but it's mostly stood for the males in the nations nerd sector - since otaku have predominantly been males. With the recent spike in otaku culture, however, female geeks have been on the rise - and they've got a new name to prove it.
Female otaku are increasingly calling themselves "otome," reports the Japanese weekly magazine Josei Jishin. The term translates as "maiden" (as in the my-HIME sequel My-Otome), and even lends its name to Otome Road, the slang term for a street in Tokyo's Ikebukero district, filled with shonen-ai manga and bisshonen related goods - an understandably popular gathering ground for female manga fans, much in the same way that male geeks cluster around the stores of Akihabara in Tokyo.
Not to be outdone, male otaku are aslo changing - if ony in name. Instead of their typical title, many of the latest generation of anime fans are going by "ota-kei", which roughly equates to "otaku-type." - TC

Film Shoot Mistaken for Hostage Crisis
FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. - A movie set at the downtown post office turned all too real for a group of high school filmmakers.
Members of the high school Spanish club were shooting a movie Thursday night when the police showed up believing a hostage crisis was going on inside the post office.
But apparently, someone saw the teens carrying toy guns into the building on Centre Street, which is the heart of the town's historical district. When they couldn't get an answer to calls placed inside the building, they assumed the worst.
Police cordoned off the block, cleared nearby buildings and surrounded the post office ready for a hostage crisis. When a group of students left the post office, they were ordered to get on the ground, face down.
Postmaster Ron Steedley had given permission for the school group to use the post office after hours to make a movie, "Rolling Thunder." Steedley said he didn't think the student's movie would frighten anyone.
Devon Menendez, the film's director, said his film career is over.
"I'm not accepting any more offers to direct a movie," he said.
Video of the Week
guess what, the last Shippou AMV for the year YAY. No one hardly makes Shippou AMVs on you tube so there are hardly any good ones. (sorry to those people who made Shippou AMVs.) And also people hate Shippou. I do
Shippou: how many times to you have to punch me like Inuyasha.
let's put it this way, if my love for Kouga was put in numbers. Then that's how many **evil smile**
Shippou: BUT IT WOULD TAKE YEARS TO PUNCH ME THAT MANY TIMES
