Yeah. Title is much of a cliché but I couldn’t think of a more fitting title to this entry that I’m conjuring up. This is actually amusing for me since the idea for me to make up this entry was prompted by the blog that’s currently abuzz in the English animu blogosphere, yep, the Otaku Elimination Game a.k.a. OEG.
You might wonder why I’m actually posting this, and mentioning them, since I’m not in their hit list (or at least, not yet, though I rather doubt it) — I guess this is a little response of mine to what they are stirring up as of now. In all honestly, I am but a wee lurker in that blog, initially because I thought of them as random trolls and haters that had nothing better to do but to troll and hate — even included some of the more popular people around the “Otaku” blogosphere — to stir up something. But, now, I think of them a bit differently since they actually have a point — though I still think they lack credibility, thanks to their anonymity — the fact remains that they do raise an interesting and valid point, that being an otaku, involves burning passion for something and not just a passing obsession. I am also amused by the fact that they actually state that it is not measured by the x number of merchandise that you buy everyday, week or month — and most likely, it is not relevant to how much you spend either.
So, where am I going with this? This is not a challenge if that’s what you’re thinking. I highly predict that they shall judge me — or if not, just leave a sentence about TanTango in their next post that: “Tangerine Tango is just like Neko’s Thinkbox — in orange” — or something to that effect. Like the title says, this post is my trip down memory lane. Fair warning this is going to be TL;DR, but if you’re interested enough go ahead and proceed.
