was hentai, anime or manga change your life in a good way

was being a otaku change your life. good or bad. in my case neither but i notice some things but since i loved anime since i was 10, i can't tell. but to get the ball rolling,
1. i like women with tiny tits like A and B's maybe small C's but im not a lolicon(unless the story is good) but also bisexual.
2. i was spending around three to five grand on anime, manga, and doujin. but i was in the importing biz so it was a job too.
3. i learned japanese just so i can understand the import dvds and mags.
4. fansub and dubed for a living.
5. moved to japan just so i can live the dream of anything and everything i want to read, watch and fap too.
6. comiket bitches,
and lastly
7. japanese girlfriend and american boyfriend

so what your answers

I sense showing off.

Meh, for me... well I learned Jap, but it doesn't have anything to do with either hentai, anime or manga - I'm into video games.

The darker genres of hentai certainly burnt a deep hole into my soul though (read: Guro)

yes i was but still if i wasn't expose to dragon ball z would i be the same. shit if i didn't find the magical world of hentai i would be some what

something like that, but gonna take my japanes lessons seriously. who knows I might get a job in Japan or something related

Anime, manga and japanese games has got me learning Japanese, I'm attending lessons this summer and most likely for awhile. I plan to go visit Japan some day, hopefully meet a Japanese girl or someone who loves Japan as much as me.

Animefreak how was your moving progress. Hear moving to Japan is hell. Paperwork galore.

i moved in 05 and the paperwork was only a few pages but it did take a long time to get my job paper because have dual citizenships in the U.S and Catalonia. but a month and about 100000 yen later it sweet. get a year visa and apply for Residency and you should be cool.

Anime and Manga taught me basic grammar and sentence structure.

Aren't you forced to give up your dual citizenship if you are living in Japan permanently or you just there on visa? Like naturalization and what not?

well im currently learning japanese ^^

only if i apply for Japanese citizenship, i'm on temporary residency so i don't have to file a japanese income tax form or american

for me is half bad and half good. in good way i had motivation for study japan league, and for bad side my mind sometime full of pervert think !!!

that is anime, manga, and hentai for me, in my eyes !!!

I wish I live there. I don't have any skills that would grant me a work visa. Gotta get through school haha. Do you plan on going through the process of naturalization though?



I know what you mean, hentai scenes play in my mind when I'm in class and i think about it sometimes as well while bored in class.

nope, i have no interest of being a japanese citizen, and you don't need any skills to get a work visa, just a working knowledge of japanese and a clean record

It's been around for so long, I can't even tell if it shaped a section of my life.

I will say that if I can test a language test, Japanese could get me sent to NOT-Iraq (army).
Shit, I'd settle for Korea (since we're not at war tomorrow).

Nice! A large part of why I love NGE is because of the psychology in the series. It's great to see someone else appreciate it.

As for me, without anime, I don't think I'd be a part of any sort of social circle. I'd also be bored 90% of the time. Anime is my main interest and has been for years. I don't like sports or have any other hobbies. I might have buried myself in schoolwork, but that would have been boring as all hell. I'd probably be more "sophisticated," reading classics of literature instead of manga, but I'd no doubt be a snobby, depressed loner that hates the world, at the same time. Anime's kept me light-hearted and fun-loving. Also, I met my current friends through my school's anime club, and we go to the local convention together every year. Without anime, I'd probably be stuck going to the crappy Renaissance fair every year. Not my bag, that's for sure.

i've been otaku since i'm little.at the time where my brother and sister were crazy for sailor moon and saint seiya.when i mostly tell jokes from anime or manga,usually my normal friends won't get it.but that didn't bother me.
right now i'm in japan studying japanese and animation(i'm still pretty bad though).



where do you live?
tokyo?

i did the first few months but i found a better job in kobe. but the brighter side it only like hour- hour half- to Akihabara( which im going to in six hours ie it's 245 am)and it way way do i say way cheaper to live.
