Worst Final Fantasy Villain?

 

Seymour.

Why was he the worst?

 

See, you don't have to hide your inner feelings, Nevermortal. We could become TSM's First Yaoi Couple, and open up new doors for fake gay couples on internet message boards everywhere!

 

And we'd make Yuna happy.

Pfft..I don't spend enough time on this board to mark out over somethin' like that. Oh, and your sig owns ^.^ Whether they're chicks or dudes, I still think they're hot.

Well, I think we found Yuna's male counterpart

 

Baka.

 

That joke was complex on several different levels. You've got a better chance of getting me to fuck you in the ass then you do of getting me to explain my jokes, baka.

Hey, I know what that means! *cheers on self* Typing in a different language is quite fun, because those not in the joke will continue to insult you. Lame, really.

You are not Japanese

 

Shut up now

I'm not German...does that mean I can never speak it, fraulein?

[Guest Kamui]

Oh, and your sig owns ^.^ Whether they're chicks or dudes, I still think they're hot.

I saw both pictures on cosplay.com and it really freaked me out, because the first one I was like "....Whoa." and the second one made me think he was pretty in a very feminine way, so I figured I'd run with it as a TSM sig as a gag. Everyone here must think I'm bi-sexual anyway.

Ah, okay, so the first is a chick and the second a guy? Cool. My thoughts were just the opposite, but hey, they're both still hawt.

Except there's not an American subculture that salivates over all things German, wishes they were German, and learns and speaks German in order to believe that deep down, they can be German too

I guess it's a good thing I have sigs turned off...

They're not that bad, really. Basically, it's hard to tell what sex the peeps are. But, then, I'm just a yaoi-obsessed chick, thus, my opinion will be ignored. As always.

Yeah, damn us anime bastards to the pits of a firey hell for DARING to like another country's culture! We were born in America, so we should be stuck with what we've got- even if we hate rap music and bad reality TV!

 

Honestly, you sound more ignorant with every post you make.

It's okay to like

 

It's not okay to obsess to the point of self-delusion

 

And even if it's not you directly (since I predict you saying you're not), I've seen those people

I'd say the same for you, but you hit the bottom of the barrel awhile back

But your view and my view of obsession probably aren't the same thing.

 

For instance, do you view cosplay as an obsession? I don't. I view it as a hobby. Or going to an anime convention? I view that as a fun get together with friends who have the same interests. I'm just trying to pick your mind here and see what obsession is.

 

I know I'm not Japanese. It doesn't mean I can't enjoy the culture, though- there's plenty of Japanese people who are just as into American culture as I'm into theirs.

Here's my take on the "Otusaku" subculture (otusaku is a word I made up that means "Spiky Blue Hair Enthusiasts That Aren't Punk Rock Fans):

 

If you're a guy and you dress (or "cosplay") like Sailor Moon, you're gay. This applies to any other Planet Sailors or whatever they are.

 

If you're a grown man that plays with Pokemon cards, you're weird. You're not only playing a child's game, you're playing one that went out of style four or five years ago. Get with the times.

 

Watching Japanese cartoons not entitled "Speed Racer" will NEVER be socially acceptable. Face it. By the way, Speed Racer is the man.

 

Conventions featuring enthusiasts of ANYTHING are likely to scare the bejeezus out of everyday members of society. Anime, Star Trek, soap operas, Happy Days ("I cosplayed as Chuck!"), even sports. All weird.

 

Anyone who has an obsession with young Asian girls is creepy to me.

 

And as for Americans liking Japanese culture and vice versa, I think it's amusing, because while the Nipponophiles (not enthusiasts of erect nipples by the way) seem to get into all the intricate details of Japan, our Asian pals just get this weird amalgamation of American culture and blend it together into "Juria Robelts War-Monging Horrywood Rakers Red White And Blue Numbah One!"

Uh, sure.

 

If you're a guy and you dress (or "cosplay") like Sailor Moon, you're gay. This applies to any other Planet Sailors or whatever they are.

 

Agreed.

 

If you're a grown man that plays with Pokemon cards, you're weird. You're not only playing a child's game, you're playing one that went out of style four or five years ago. Get with the times.

 

Agreed.

You have a message from 2003 to your address in 1991. It reads "Newsflash: it has become so." It's become rather accepted in this day and age, especially with titles like Cowboy Bebop out. It's not just "cartoons" because Japan entertainment companies use animation as a medium for everything from comedy, to kids shows, to serious dramas, to sci-fi epics, to porn. In America, it's mostly used for comedy, or more serious but still-not-quite-adult style shows.

 

Conventions featuring enthusiasts of ANYTHING are likely to scare the bejeezus out of everyday members of society. Anime, Star Trek, soap operas, Happy Days ("I cosplayed as Chuck!"), even sports. All weird.

 

Yup.

 

Anyone who has an obsession with young Asian girls is creepy to me.

 

If by "young" you mean "roughly our own age" why the hell so? YOU RACIST!~ Um, that is, I'm not "obsessed."

 

Aw fuck, I'm ripping off Ripper now.

 

And as for Americans liking Japanese culture and vice versa, I think it's amusing, because while the Nipponophiles (not enthusiasts of erect nipples by the way) seem to get into all the intricate details of Japan, our Asian pals just get this weird amalgamation of American culture and blend it together into "Juria Robelts War-Monging Horrywood Rakers Red White And Blue Numbah One!"

 

I like a lot of their entertainment, but I dislike a lot of their culture.

 

Although, I'd probably be considered more of a "casual" animer than Kamui. Do not call me an "otaku" though.

What I meant about the obsession thing was the grown men who have the obsession over girls who looks to be 12 to 14. There's just something that strikes me as disconcerting. Now usually I'm all for being attracted to whoever you're attracted to, but there's something about that which I just don't get.

 

As for what's not socially acceptable, I guess maybe I went too far. I think Final Fantasy games have generally been somewhat mainstream, as for other Squaresoft games. I'm not ashamed to say I've played Final Fantasy games, not many people are. They're good games. But personally, I'm just not that deep into this kind of stuff, so I don't know if I'm not the best judge. I don't want to come off as 100% intolerant of the stuff.

[Damaramu 0]

The funny thing is that most of the Otaku love Japan and want to visit there...but hell....try to go to school there and make your living. You'd crack after one day.

 

Oh and before you accuse me of being a Japanese or Anime hater. I was one of the founding members of the "Dragonball Z Otaku Alliance" website and I did that for a good long while. I quit trying though because I realized that FUNImation would never ever realize that they are idiots and need to cease and desist.

Also I do watch Anime btw. I just haven't bought an Anime DVD in like forever because I have better things to spend my money on. And because I refuse to watch any dubbed Anime I am out in the dark.

 

So I'm not an anime hater. Just a hater of obsessive children. Also I've always been that way. In the height of my Anime fandom I had to beat off all of the losers that screamed "Japan is the best country ever! USA sucks! I want to live in Japan! Fuck America! Our cartoons and comic books suck!"

And no that's not a parody. That has been said to me before.

Meh, I like anime and a fair amount of Japanese entertainment. I've gotten into Asian music for some reason, I just like the way it sounds. I find Japanese culture interesting. I find the hardcore cosplay convention style people a little creepy, though. The only reason I'd go to a con is to take their money in SC2, since they always suck at whatever videogames they play. Cons kind of annoy me, because they give people a bad impression of fans of Japanese culture. I certainly don't wish I was Japanese/lived in Japan. The idea of living in Tokyo sounds pretty hellish. I'd like to visit sometime, though.

Oh god, I know so many people like that. I hope bad things happen to all of them. The ones I know don't even lust after real girls, they lust after anime/videogame jailbait. It's so pathetic. "Talim is so hot~!". Ugh.

[Guest Kamui]

People have a bad, very sterotypical opinion about anime conventions. They're not just filled with a few hundred losers- the largest ones, Otakon and Anime Expo, draw nearly 20,000 people a year, with the numbers rising every year. It's not just a few hundred hardcore geeks.

 

I go to anime conventions with my friends because they're fun, not because I'm "obsessed". The panels are interesting, you get to watch all the anime you want in the video rooms for three days for the $35 registration fee, not to mention the gaming rooms, and you can meet and talk to people you might know from the internet or even meet entirley new friends.

 

For instance, I met my current girlfriend at an anime convention two years ago. She lives in New York City, and I don't see how the hell I would have met her otherwise. I've also met and hung out with lots of people who I'd talk to on the internet. Really, it's just a fun way to spend three days, and I don't see what the big deal is about it.

 

As for cosplay....shockingly, I've never done it myself, despite a billion different people trying to talk me into it everytime a convention rolls around, but that's just more because I'm not outgoing in real life. I have no problem with those who cosplay- I've always found it funny that people think cosplaying is weird but when sports fans go to their local sporting event with their bellies painted to spell out their favorite sports team, that's not weird, it's passionate. Or something.

 

And again, I've actually been in Tokyo and stayed there for a significant amount of time over a summer, so it's not like my opinion of the nation is from anime and games. I've experienced it first-hand, which is why I want to spend significant time over there in the future. But hey, whatever. Just go back to making all the sterotypical otaku jokes ("omg u now nothign aboot da culutre!"), I guess.

I don't think I ever said your name in my post. But if you wanna take it personally....go right ahead.

 

And I have been to an Anime convention as well at OU....and no I didn't dress up....I was there to pass a saturday and watch some Anime with friends.

What if you're a girl?

If you're hot then a bunch of guys want to bone you.

If you're ugly or fat....wearing that costume.....well the Park Ranger could be after your ass.

That was targeted more towards Czech Republic than you, sorry for not saying so.

Dama is just hitting it on all cylinders, wow

 

Especially on that last point. I hate the people who believe that the worst anime is still better than the best American animation.

That pretty well sums it up

Hot Chicks in skimpy costumes = Hot

 

Anyone else = Barf

 

Simple equations people...

 

Edit: And if I ever were to do cosplay, I'd be Tuxedo Mask, because quite frankly, he's a fly-ass motherfucker.

We have something in common (even though Seiya from Sailor Stars is technically cooler, not enough people know who he/she is).

[Guest Kamui]

Well, those people are idiots. Obviously, there's crappy anime out there and there's good American animation, so by simple logic the good American animation > the crappy anime.

 

However, I think you might be confusing that point with the point that every anime fan believes that the best anime is MUCH, MUCH better than the best American animation, and I don't see what's wrong with having that opinion. After all, if they didn't believe that then they'd be American animation fans, not anime fans.

Homestarrunner.com did the best dead-on satire of anime ever:

 

"Okay, so first of all, my head would have to be a little bean. With real real big eyes, get rid of my thumbs, make me all shiny. My boots would be a whole lot cooler. Like...robot boots. And for some reason, I'd have blue hair. You gotta have blue hair. And then there's my mouth. Really tiny when it's closed, ridiculously huge when it's open. Then you just send me flying around in cool poses."
