The one part of the internet which seems to be a guilty pleasure is fan fiction, it is the dribble of common teens yet some of this dribble is so addictive that I, at one point, have stayed up for almost two days trying to finish a certain story.
This little moment of obsession passed two summers ago but recently i have stumbled upon anime fan art in the sense of stories and comics, (naruto being my favorite right now).
Its like watching a child grow then learning about its wants and desire, seeing it go through their awkward phase while still knowing the person their parents were. That is the magic of fan fiction.
While most stories and art are based of unrealistic ideas and more than normal will have their share of holes but thats what makes it amazing being able to see the what if, seeing if one character survived what would their impact be, if someone did die, the consequences of action.
Anime fan fiction is probably one of the nest type, definitely better than one direction fan fiction.

Kokoro Connect
what is it about the otaku world which makes us love a story of the mind. Pushing it to its limits and seeing how relationships add up.
To the people who are wondering Kokoro connect(K.C) just came out with episode 17 and with then end of the break the 14th episode aired showing a the same entity possesses Mr. Go we see that a new conundrum comes to play where their emotions become amplified. While just seconds ago in the episode we find out that Taichi asks Iori out now it seems that everyone can hear what each other is thinking.
It started off pretty well and the art is normal but I think the actual story itself is slow it focuses more on the human emotion and the "in the moment scenes" rather than action.
While most people could argue that K.C doesn't have much of a plot, it actually has something far more vital a concept. Concepts are hard to think of, they're usually something cliche such as strife or friendship but K.C has something else. Its concept begs the question of what makes a personality? While most animes are there for enjoyment this one really got me thinking what makes a personality. Whenever i ask someone they say "who you are" or "what makes you, you" but that doesn't make much sense.
While most people will give that answer others can't help but really think about the question, K.C makes you think about, because for some reason even changing someone body can't mean their personality is changed.
While K.C showed a more psychological point to a question which is more philosophical than taught of, it does miss a plot. Even though i said a plot wasn't the only thing an anime should have it is important. A plot can make it and break and while this one did have one small one it wasn't exaggerated In all sense most of the episodes weren't very memorable.
Most the time the plot was moved with dialogue which is risky thing to do in an anime and this is a prime example.
K.C was beautifully done but could have been better, all in all I give it a 2 and a half out of 5

What to do?
To write, or to not, that is the question. I really don't know what to do. What to write about, or what people will care about.
So I'll talk about why anime is. Anime is a cartoon, in its purest form. Child's play as some would call it, yet it seems that not children but adults watch it, read it! Manga and anime are something completed different.
A friend of mine recently asked em why I was such an otaku. She didn't know what an otaku was but i won't say what she really called me. But when she asked me this I really didn't know what to tell her, all i could do was laugh. Thinking about it, there was nothing more to do but laugh.
I don't know what makes starting a new series so overwhelming or finishing a manga accomplishing even the moment where everything just falls in place in a story and the way life just becomes clear. Its a completely different.
This is also one of the reasons i hate people who badmouth certain animes and manga. When we look at a plot line we can find a million problems but that's the point! these shows, these concepts, drawings even are here to have problems, to be able to be in their own sense not someone else.
I really don't know where this is going, probably nowhere, and most likely will end up in the vastness of the Internet. But if there's one thing i will say is that nothing can be opinionated on anime and manga.

The oldies
I've recently noticed that no matter how long someone tries to look back anime will always have been in their lives. The classics is what I'm pointing at Inyusha, Dragon Ball, Samurai X, etc... SO what makes it so awesome? I have no idea i think its the story.
I love anime and manga nowadays but there was something else about the oldies. Strife? Ambition? Friendship? just something... the art wasn't that good neither was the story movement, they went on forever, and yet when you talk about it to a friend a sort of nostalgic feeling comes over you, a reminiscences of sorts seems to engulf you.
But these shows have something which is the fan base, something that's very hard for new manga and anime to create. Its those people that start to laugh and except the faults of the show yet say "that's the beauty of it!"
It was those Saturday morning with your siblings sitting there watching and laughing not really truly understanding much of the story yet accepting it because it was something to believe in.
The classics are what make anime and manga so great...

Otaku Time
I always taught, " what is the best time of the year for otakus," sometimes I'd think summers but that meant it being so hot that sitting in one position meant sweating like butter in the oven. Maybe spring, but then again most the time its only a week of break. Studying is the main priority. So fall, wonderful, school and anime. no its winter.
Winter is cold, you're expected to stay inside. If you get cold just put on an episode of Minami-ke with a Christmas arc! Hell i even use my charger to keep bread warm, (because i can that's why).
Winter is the perfect time. If you don't want to go out you can give the excuse, "I don't want to be bombarded by Christmas music," or "Its to goddamn cold for that shit." Its so simple. A who doesn't want to watch a Christmas arc or studying arc. Winter its the time where school holidays seem more philosophical just because its raining, also your facebook status can finally be of some use to tell me if its raining or not

yuri and yaoi
The fascination with these two homosexual topics in anime don't stop to intrigue me. consider this a show about two people (male an female) who fall in love and have to go through the trial and errors of love now take that and put two boys! aha you see how much better it gets. Its not annoying anymore. And who doesn't love the masochist lesbian who coys a girl in the depths of darkness to come play for another field. Yuri and Yaoi are the pinnacle genre of the anime world!
The idea behind my bold statement is the single idea that the genre can have litterly any arc, storyline, idea, even battle. the only difference is that it has a homosexual relationship.
I asked around a little and found that girls like doujinshi better than yaoi anime or manga. i think this is the idea of who should be who and who can be souske charcter!
But yuri is different of course doujinshi is far more popular but the better yuri manga and anime yuri seems to have a deeper more psychological point. maybe this is the concept of the demented lesbian raping poor little unsuspecting teenagers or the girl who just can't expect it
Yaoi and yuri are the most essential ideas in anime. It is our imagination that comes out the most. The what "if" or pairings that are the true want of anime and manga
we want to be told everything but when things are left to us we seem to do better and love it more.
Recently in 2 new shows the concept of yaoi and yuri could be seen very easily or at least could spark the imagine to create a Doujinshi!! how i love them! first is Psycho Pass which touched with a psychotic girl who takes her victims for a ride around the park (if you know what i mean) then kills them, how wonderful. then is Kamisama Hajmastia which if i don't if you do probably will have the ex-deity kiss the everlasting Tomoe leading to large amounts of pairings.
As i said before I asked around and tried to piece together the why and wants of these two genres. i decided on two people a boy and girl:
yuri:
girl-"it's just not right two girls are that intimate but some of that stuff is disgusting, I'm fine when an anime or manga will show that they slept together or something but sometimes it gets to much."
me-"but some yaoi show very explicit male parts what about that."
girl-"there guys and gay if they have sex and the artist show it that's not yaoi it porn."
boy- "girls are pretty, nice, and smell good I'm attracted to them so why can't they be attracted to each other its more for me, yuri is one of the greatest things taught up"
yaoi:
boy-"being gay isn't my problem but real guys are hairy and smelly i mean look at me, so yeah yaoi shows two insanely hot guys getting it on but its just not realistic"
me-"and yuri is"
boy-"far more than yaoi not ever guy is beautiful its can't be like TWILIGHT!"
girl-"its because there beautiful, i watch it for the storyline because some of the better ones have great emotion and hit key points in society."
i decided to delve further into why they were so basis
me-"i have a question besides the storyline and ideas that are in yaoi, what else is there? there has to be something else?"
girl-"boys are just more better looking naked!"
me-"wait, what?"
girl-"yeah i mean of course i can understand why a guy would love to get it on with a girl in a hot tight dress, but unless the girl was lets see, hairy not wearing makeup didn't do her hair didn't act all slutly and wasn't wearing a tight dress then it would just be skin while a guy, a normal guy can just stand there stark naked and for some reason it doesn't look like something is missing."
me-"i understand you don't have anything against gays but m**** said its like watching porn."
boy-"she's completely wrong, yuri is women loving the idea of women, i actually think its more empowering to women. Yes i do like the way they kiss and touch each other in certain places but come on like BL doesn't do that either."
me-"so what would you say to the more hentai toned stuff"
boy-"that means its henatai toned its meant to be sexual."
Its seems that in contrast all the people i asked had the same idea some said that it was what the person liked others said that if yaoi could be acceptable so could yuri and i quote "they should pull the stick out of their ass and be a little more accepting"
