Mushi-shi I have been watching a new anime called, Mushi-shi. I love it! Mushi are simple life forms that most humans can't see or interact with, but when they can interact with them, that causes problems. Luckily for them, they have Ginko, a mushi master that travels the country helping people with their unique problems. Such as, a girl whoose body is so lightweight that whenever the wind blows, she is whisked away into the sky. Or the tale of a boy who can draw things that come to life. And one of the most interesting, a rainbow mushi that attaches itself to humans. Ginko himself is a very interesting character. Because of a mushi accident, he has white hair and only one teal colored eye. He seems to be the only one in the whole anime that wears western style clothing ad he's always smoking. I don't know if his character is so memorable because of his unique, but not overplayed traits, or if it is because the other characters are so bland. All in all, I give this anime a 10 for creativity, artwork, music and storyline. For character design, well, that's something they need to work on, but what can you expect? Most of the supporting characters only appear in one episode. And I hate to say it, but the Japanese do look a lot alike. I would say you definitely need to check this out!
	Funny Anime Grandoll has got to be one of the funniest(next to dragon half)anime I have ever seen. And I watched the dubbed version. Make sure you watch the subbed.

	How to become a true Otaku. 1) Learn to accept the fact that you are not a "normal" person. Society has changed quite a bit from the Beverly Hills scene to the "I Love Geeks" scene. Even though they have the T-Shirt, the arm warmer and the shoelaces, don't believe what you read. These people have NO idea what it means to be a geek. So, don't think that you will be accepted because of this. 2)You must be very familiar with public humiliation to the point that you really don't care anymore. TIP:At an Anime convention people think it's funny and not out of the norm if you can skillfully humiliate yourself (or others) in public. 3)You must have some kind of persecution complex. This is what brings us all together. It is our bond. 4)Now to the Anime part...Find your obsession and ramble about it endlessly to anyone who can decently pretend to listen. Be sure to choose a character to worship (making a web shrine will give you points). 5) If you have chosen to worship Inu Yasha or Sesshomaru....TRY AGAIN, you will get it right someday. 6)Owning an entire Manga series is a sign of high status. You must be sure to remind people of it, never let anyone forget your status (By the way, I own all of Planet Ladder, Angelic Layer, Cowboy Bebop "Shooting Star", Pet Shop of Horrors and Chobits. 7)You must Cosplay, but not as Inu Yasha. In this case it will be okay to dress as Sesshomaru, but only because a good costume(although rare) is harder to make. Be sure to choose a character that you can pull of physically, or you are just kidding yourself. 8)One of the most important steps is to WATCH THE CLASSICS!!! Ninja Scroll, Akira(this movie is the "Huckleberry Finn" of all Anime, it sucks, but you must watch), Dragon Half, Ghost in the Shell and Princess Mononoke. 9)True otaku prefer Subs over Dubs. If you love Inu Yasha and you don't know what I'm talking about when I mention Subs and Dubs, then my point has been made. 10)LARP(Live Action RolePlay) at least thrice in your life. 11)Play a few video games, get obsessed with at least one. PC games are acceptable and sometimes more prefered. 12)Last, but not least, remember this saying, "Anime, crack is cheaper."
True Otaku!
