Anime Dos and Don'ts
lets hear what everyone has learned about watching anime ,or just anime in general, over the years. i'll start...
don't ever finish off two different "sad" anime series on the same day if you have a soft spot for those types of shows. doing so may cause extreme dehydration hehehe |

Do something constructive like drawing your own anime character or maybe a good flash movie
Do not lie to your friend and give him a fake anime and replace it with hentai. He might get a terrible addiction. Trust me I did this to a friend and its my fault he doest get out often. I told him LA Night Nurse was a great anime, but I thought of it as a funny joke. It backfired. |

Do watch anime even if its genre is something you're not into. You never know how well it's done-it could change your mind about that type of show!
Don't watch anime with tragic endings and go out in public right afterwards-you may need to take a time-out to cry in a bathroom. O_o;

Do be fan of certain anime/s. Praise its strengths, critique on its faults, analyze the characters, have intelligent discussions, have a seed ratio of at least 1:1 , etc. If you want, make images, create Flash movies (funny ones, especially), write fanfictions that are faithful to the plot or the characters' personalities so to make that anime popular.
Don't be a fanboy/fangirl. Chances are you are one if you: "typ lyk dis, lol" or go "<insert title here> is teh best anime EVAR" when you praise a certain anime, flame someone if he disagrees (esp. when he writes an intelligent criticism), write dumb fanfictions (e.g. those where x has s3ckz with y when it's not even yaoi and x and y are both straight males, just so you can fulfill your disgusting fantasies). I hate you people. You make my blood boil, and you ruin the fandom's image with your actions. |

I am a fangirl but I'm a sane one.-_- I'm a grammar nazti unless I'm kidding around and fanfiction really scares me unless it's supposed to be funny or a parody. (I've never written anything except a tragic one about Sailor Moon when I was 14) I don't make anime pairings that don't make sense and if I tell someone a show is good, I give legitimate reasons. Don't automatically assume fangirls/boys are ALL mindless idiots-I assure you, we're not. Your post could really offend some people here. It offended me somewhat so it'd be best for you to watch what you type. You're at an anime forum fer cryin' out loud!

It's just that I just learned to stereotype some anime fans after they ruined a lot of anime, Gundam Wing specifically, for me with their (shudder) yaoi fanfictions and scary . They made us decent Gundam Wing fans hide for our lives in fears of being grouped with them (I was a fan of GW before it hit the US). While their numbers increased, GW discussions degenerated into something like, "OMG, Trowa is such a hawttie!!!" and "Quatre is such a whiny b**ch!!!" They forgot that was more to the characters than just their looks alone, and that made the whole GW fandom seem shallow. I'm usually okay with a lot of people's relaxed way of writing, but when a whole board is clearly using moonspeak... Even worse, the grammar speaks for the content itself. Besides, the term "fanboy/fangirl" carries a negative connotation. Most people use this term to label the type of people who I described in my previous post. I thought it was safe to assume that there was no way anyone would seriously label themselves as fanboys/fangirls. Nobody seemed to, anyway. |
