whenever this gets out 1

Guess what viewers new and old. Today we are discussing harems

not the typical, reallife harems that will get you a reality T.V. show or arrested for polygamy. no, the harems that I am discussing are the fantastic guy paradises of anime and manga world!

 

 

 

 

          The Harem, and it's converse (the Reverse Harem) are when one unlucky character is forced to have the company of a large group of members of the opposite gender. My friend de-mo explains it like so: 

 

 

 

 

usually harems have a few baisic character types:

 

1. The Harem King: The lynchpin which holds the entire Harem together, usually the main character of a series. often times of an undesireable status, to the point that most readers wonder how this guy got so freaking lucky.
2.  the First Meet: Usually a childhood friend, The first meet is typically the one who knows the HK best, and as a result she may also be the most possessive despite the fact that she often has the least amount of time with the protagonist
3.  the New Arrival: The majority of Mangas and Anime's with a harem theme start off with the new arival encountering the Harem King, and the results usually turn the King into an irresistable magnet for the other harem characters.

Examples of an Action Harem King:

The Best and Worst Wife Ever!

The Best and Worst Wife Ever!!!!!

Well, It's been a few weeks since my last post and I'm fresh out of ideas, so I want to describe my most recent obsession to you since it was you dear reader who stuck with me through my admittidly crappy first post. So, ladies and gentlemen- if there are even that many people reading this- I give you my research on the mentally unstable personality of...

Yandere

 

The definition of yandere from wikipedia: Yandere (ヤンデレ), from the Japanese words yanderu (病んでる),meaning to be sick, and deredere (デレデレ),which is defined as exhausted or lovestruck.

 

According to infofmation from http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Yandere:

 

The yandere come in two flavors:

 

1. Possessive: This type of Yandere is so in love with their crush that (s)he's willing to kill their beloved to prevent other love interests from taking him/her away from him/her. Severed head in a bag? Fair game.

1. Obsessive: This type of Yandere is willing to kill off their competition so (s)he can be closer to their loved one.

 

 

classic examples can also be found on tvtropes here and the spoilers are censored http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Yandere/AnimeAndManga

 

upon examining a discussion from mangafox.com (one of the world's many online manga reading sites for those who don't know) there is also a scale system invented by one "dark blade94" according to him there are three states of yandere, and they are as follows:

A #1 by the name means: Worry, these girls are a bit obsessed, but relatively harmless. Signs include stalking and obsession. Usually in comedies and for secondary yandere.

A #2 by the name means: Danger, these girls are violent, but usually not life threatening. They are not just obsessive stalkers, but may use acts of violence against people in their way, or their loved one.

A #3 by the name means: RUN, these girls are completely insane. They are full - blown yandere. They do not think rationally, they are happy to kill people in their way, and may even kill or imprison their loved one.

The entire discussion can be found at: http://forums.mangafox.me/group.php?do=discuss&discussionid=18737

A few common qualities that they all share is that they have . . . certain visual appeals, and a massive amount of affection for thier "precious one". another anomally among yanderes is that the one who they're in love with has made thier impression upon the yandere in question by giving them a reason to exist, normally after the yandere did something that shattered thier own psyche. 

Common Yandere Examples:

 Yuno Gasai


Kaede


Juvia Lockster


Lucy


Belarus


and Miku Hatsune


Unfortunately, my knowledge of yandere characters is sorely lacking, so please inform me of any yanderes who you think deserve recognition.

it makes me feel special.

that's it for now, bye, and thanks for reading.




 

 

introductory course to otaku-sama

Well, this is my first post on any blog ever, so I guess I'll start with the basics. I created this blog so that the biggest 16-year-old manga/anime/Demotivational Poster addict on this side of Romulus (me) can share his biggest findings in the world of japanese cartoons and comics in addition to any particularly interesting demotivational posters that I just happen to come across in my couldn't-be-more-epic life. let me just break it down so that you will understand what you'll be getting into once you enter this sacred place of legendary adventures, epic fails, and "Holy crap, what was that" moments:

1. Manga is the comic book of the japanese civilization. Unlike american comics, which typically consist of a single 15-30 page adventure of those in said comic, manga is sold in volumes, which are about 300-350 pages of pure awesomeness! there are many different types of manga, notable concluded types include Mirai Nikki (I just finished that one and loved it!), Rurouni Kenshin, and Dragonball Z.
2. Anime is often the result of turning a manga into a television show, although there are exceptions to this tradition. in one case I know of (Ichiban ushiro no daimaou/Demon King Daimo) the manga was actually based on the anime (I think). I haven't encountered a case in which an anime exists without its anime counterparts, but I'm sure one exists.
3. As for Demotivational Posters:

"'nuff said"

Well, that concludes this post, I just have two more things to share with those of you new to this blog:
