I’m in Despair!

I was playing around with the webcam on my laptop yesterday, and I don’t know what cruel otherwordly being compelled me to do this, but I decided to parody Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei’s despair reactions with my glasses on. The pictures made me look like both an idiot and a fuckin’ creeper, but I don’t give a shit. Enjoy.

Naruto Fans (and Detractors)

I’ll admit it—I used to be a pretty big fan of Naruto a few years back. I watched the anime, read the manga, and was a consistent contributor on a few Naruto forums. But ultimately, boredom from watching only Naruto and Bleach lead me to quit anime for a few years. Now that I’m back to watching anime, I’ve found so many better shows, and I’m not the fan that I once was of Naruto (or Bleach for that matter). Over the years though, I’ve seen fans and critics of varying degrees, so I decided to categorize them. You might fit into one of these categories.

One Piece’s Initial Popularity

Well, this is my first post, so I’ll talk about something everyone knows about: One Piece. About two months ago, I began my “One Piece journey,” which pretty much is somehow catching up to 480+ episodes out right now, starting from episode 1. I had watched it before, but I forgot where I left off so I just decided to rewatch it from the beginning. I’m around episode 170 currently, but this post will mainly focus on the East Blue Saga (episodes 1 to 61) from the anime and its popularity. I’ve never read the manga and I don’t plan to, so I won’t talk about it much, though most of what I ramble about would apply anyway.
