J's Chimes: Otaku Writes Story For Romance Animes


This is something that intrigues me a lot and had been thinking it ever since I've read the article about it on Sankaku Complex. The question here is, 'how can an otaku who has no love experience be writing a storyline for romance animes in which we watch these days?' Come to think of it, otakus are despise for loving their 2D counterparts more and thus leading to many Japanese females to stay away from them... This is especially so too in Singapore in the age whereby anime is also quite condemned by people aging from 24 and above who doesn't know much about them.


A writer expresses his opinion that otaku cannot write romances as they are sad and lonely creatures with no experience. He also pointed out that otakus should get into real relationships rather than their 2D girlfriends. Though those in 2D are all ideal partners, the writer thinks that such are unrealistic and claims that they can't write anything new without these experiences.
Such has led to many netizens to discuss and backfire him for his unimpressive speech.


Though it does sound logical that Otakus can't possibly write romance, here;s what netizens have a say about such:

- "If you know the real thing you can’t make games and the like.”
- “He’s underestimating the imaginative power of virgins.”
- “I suppose you can’t make an RPG if you haven’t been an adventurer.”
- “A commoner has no qualifications to talk about otaku.”
- “So Konami must employ world class lovers…”
- “A product intended for virgins might as well be made by virgins.”

In my perspective, I'd believe that it's not really about what kind of person you are. Rather, it is about how creative and imaginative you are to be able to write a storyline that eventually captures the hearts of the audiences and become popular, just like the mangas Bleach, Naruto, One Piece or Full Metal Alchemist. The fact that Otakus do not have the experience to write a romance story is true. However this brings about things which you'd least expected in animes alike and are fantasies of what every guys or gals would like to have to be in love and doing things rarely thought of or being done in reality. Thus it brings to the point that such are considered remarkable as not many common people are able to think things out of the box that way. Well, many people have different perspectives of things around us so maybe you too have a different view of things too about such...

J's Chimes: We Want To Love Too...

Attended my friend's wedding dinner last Saturday and I must say that this has been the second wedding dinner I've been to in my life and had learn a couple of things about life from it. Unlike anime that we see and feel, sometimes reality is kinda harsh and hits back on you pretty hard as you struggle hard to pursue your path ahead of you and finding someone who loves you the way you are. This is especially so for geeks like us who loves anime and stuff which some may despise and condemning it. The fact is that we are all still humans and we do love too. Such are especially so upon watching much of love and romance animes that made your heart skip and hoping the best in life.While such are only fantasies, such animes give us hope, the emotions and the feelings never before...

J's Chimes: The Shocking Truth About Animators

A shocking truth is being revealed to the public when research is done to find out just exactly how much Japanese animators are paid for their hard work. Animators are paid slave wages for drawing the animations, characters and tracing for a mere 200 yen per hour for 1 pathetic piece. It is been said that even a burger flipper working in Mcdonald's gets at least an hourly wage of 1000yen. Such comparison shows that even an unskilled job like that beats being a skilled animator that draws wonderful animes we see on tv.With the plight of these poorly paid animators, their woes are even greatly increased as more of these animations are being outsource to other countries to finish the work with cheaper production costs and twice as fast. Such brings to the point that animations will be slowly diminishing in Japan, which could bring about the collapse...

J's Chimes: Top 10 Lucky Guys In Anime

Today's the final day of my reservist in the army and am probably celebrating it outside now with my friends in camp. And nevertheless, am finally back too to blog more interesting stuff herein. With that, let's take a look at the top 10 most lucky guys in anime I'd believe would be. You'd be so happy and living in a life of paradise if you're one of these characters here...1. Hanaukyo Maid TaiThe most fortunate guy in which I believe and would love to be him would definitely be Tarou Hanaukyo from the anime Hanaukyo Maid Tai. Being the master as appointed by his rich grand uncle, Tarou lives in a large mansion served by hundreds of maids on his beck and call. Even taking a leak in the toilet, you'd be serve by maids opening your fly and directing your gun at the toilet bowl... Not to...

Day 12 Outside The Army: Getting Back On Track

Today's a public holiday and finally am able to spend the whole day watching the animes that I've missed out for the past week or so... Games have never been so much fun right now after about 2 weeks in the Army. Tomorrow is also the last day of service to my country and will once again be free to blog more interesting stuff for your viewing needs. For now, it's time for me to kick back and catch up with the times... Free Template Blogger collection template Hot Deals SEO ...

Day 11 In The Army: Controllers From Hell

Game Controllers in the past commonly has only 5 basic buttons for games. These includes the directional buttons, select and start buttons and the A and B buttons. However the case, some controller manufacturers take things overboard and created a controller so complicated, it looks directly out from a space-age equipment used on a super classic 8-bit console like the Atari or Nintendo Genesis. One of them is as seen above where the controls are mounted on a glove... Was wondering how you'd play games with just one hand thoughAnd in second place goes to this industrial looking controller that seems like it's a tool for industrial uses than a normal controller. Wonder what's with the wires... looks pretty pathetic too...A little too awkward for a controller but it mimics a steering wheel or sorts... However, try playing your RPG game or Action and Adventure games with this and...

Day 10 In The Army: Pi Pi Pizza To To Toppings

One of the most addictive chorus for a Pizza commercial with an animation twist. And a ronery ending to make up for the funny start... Makes me crave for Pizza too but what the heck, still in the army eating rations... Well, just 3 more days then will talk about that soon enough.

Day 9 In The Army: Ancient Adult Books And Art

Firstly if ya ever feel offended by the artwork, please do not read this post. Else this is actually part of a erotic book as written and drew in the past. Such artwork dates back many centuries ago and known as Shunga, which flourished during the reign of the Tokugawa Shogunate... Think was sometime in the Edo Period... Interstingly, artists in the past have unique ways of expressing such cases of relations in the form of such art that is rarely seen now... Probably because 2D anime is more moe....Interestingly, tentacle porn or rape by monsters are already been depicted in ancient artwork and books dated centuries ago... And thus had become what it is today... Strangely, such fetishes had dated many centuries back and brought forth into something new as we see today where many thinks its taboo and sorts.I guess Eroges and such have a seriously long...

Day 8 In The Army: Chintendo Vii

In the very case you long forgotten the ever so fake replica of the Nintendo Wii, here comes the Chintendo Vii... An ultimate gaming console that will surely provides you with a new gaming experience. However with a new twist, the game's kinda like a 16 bit arcade game found in gaming consoles from the 1980s or so...And of course here's the real and genuine commercial of the Nintendo Wii as per compared with the ever so wonderful and flavorful commercial as done above by the Vii... Gaming console however don't really catch my attention as much now as have somewhat totally lost interest in it... Be spending more time with my computer instead as it does pretty much more stuff than a console... Not to mention blogging and all... Free Template Blogger collection template Hot Deals SEO ...

Day 7 In The Army: Photo Sessions With Scale Models

The new Canon EOS 550D that I've bought a few months ago was the best gadget anyone would have to take stunning photographs otherwise not able to capture with just a small digital camera I'd previously owed. Whats so amazing would definitely be its 18 Megapixel which dominates almost all digital cameras around... speaking of which, the focusing is seriously sharp on close range where none of my old cameras would work when taking shots like this above...Playing around and taking snapshots of every little thing I could find at home and also my favorite models too. One of my favs was Mina from the anime Getsumen To Heiki Mina and the ever so popular drama series called Train Man... Was totally sold out after just a few days and am glad to get this model though...Took lots of photos but am not gonna flood my post with that...

Day 6 In The Army: Anime Touch To ANA Airlines

The All Nippon Airways promotes their Airlines with a seemingly anime touch and feel to it to attract anime fans like me to fly Japan by ANA. Dunno what the heck's with the fairy tale kinda thing with Mozart and Princesses like characters but somehow it's kinda cool. One of the many reasons why anime captures the hearts of people with its creativity and unique way of presenting things to their audiences... Wished I'd go Japan one of these days...

Day 5 In The Army: Miku Strap

Bought this Hatsune Miku Strap in Kareshi Kanojo No Mise at Sunshine Plaza when shopping for my friend's Birthday at A87 Cafe in my previous post. Being a fan of Miku and all, this definitely caught my attention and in no time at all, it is hanging in my cart.With that comes the photo-taking session with my Figma Miku, with her delighted look at her very own strap... Guess it's just too valuable to use and now it's back in my plastic wrapping for safe keeps... Somehow or rather, I'd have the impulse on using it but am afraid it gets all dirty and black... Wanted to use it for my Canon EOS 550D too but guess it looks pretty fragile for a safety strap... Hope to see it again soon once am back from the army...

Day 4 In The Army: IPAD or ITA-PAD?

Somehow or rather, it will bound to come... A company named Chocolate Shop Float has ITASHA the body of an IPAD with a seemingly beautiful original artwork. Am so wanna get one for myself but due to a hole in my pocket that's so big, can't until am out of University and working...The 'ITA' IPAD has its designs on its desktop and Icons too besides the ones on the body. Reminds me of my computer right now but even so, am still in the army maybe counting grasses on the field... so sad.

Day 3 In The Army: Virtual Touch...

The ever so popular game everyone was talking about back then was an eroge titled Tech48 where players can use their webcam to move the view in the game with their heads. Now, Teatime has done it again and created a new eroge title Mousousei Kasou Jinkaku Shougai that allows you to use your hands to touch the characters in game... Released on 28 May 2010, this new game lets players to virtually control the hand movement and touch various desirable spots or interact with the characters....Nonetheless, such awes many fans to have a go at such games once it's out. Having said, it'd probably requires a high performance computer for such a game to work well just as the previous game Real Kanojo by illusion.here's a little something to oogle about about the powers of technology in a way it benefits humankind in one way or another. 9...

Day 2 In The Army: Yui's Home

Some guy who has a lot of time in his hands decided to drew up a blueprint and 3D design of Yui's house from the anime K-On! Somehow or rather I'd believe that he or she had probably seen this anime plenty of times to get a rough idea of how the house is like. Amazingly, the details are somewhat stunning if you do compare this picture to the ones in the anime.The person who drew up this plan also go about designing each and every floor of Yui's house including Yui and Ui's room... Not to mention the living room in full detail. If you'd actually pay more attention to it, the house is somewhat linear in design which is actually in fact really small for a house with 3 storeys and a car porch...I am pretty much impress by the fact that the person created a blueprint...

Day 1 In The Army: Music To Your Ears

By the time you'd read this post, am probably in green and serving the country... Whatever the case, the post has to go on and had somehow scheduled 2 weeks worth of stuff ahead just to be sure in the case am not back home to do so... In any case, Day 1 in the army post will talk about the anime music in which people loved so much and decided to play it on their own... In this case, here's the opening theme song of Clannad After Story.And this is a video of an awesome musician who plays this song using the Yamaha Electone StageA organ. A stunning professional that I can't help but wanting to see her face so much... makes me wanna sing this song too upon viewing it. What's even more stunning would be the organ which could mimic as any instruments to play this...

J's Chimes: Back To The Army...

Once again have been called back to serve the country in the Army starting tomorrow till 29 May 2010. Will be scheduling posts for this 2 weeks to make up for the it when am not here to do so. Another sad period for me as I'd have to kiss all my entertainments goodbye. Can't bring a camera phone in nor a laptop to stay connected to the world... Hope that these 2 weeks of training will end asap so June will be a blast for me... Free Template Blogger collection template Hot Deals SEO ...

J's Chimes: End Of A Legend

One of the longest running manga is coming to an end this coming July issue of the Shonen Gangan in Japan. Full Metal Alchemist, currently ranked one of the best top 3 mangas ahead of Naruto, is one of the original big selling titles like Bleach and One Piece that has sold millions of copies worldwide. Such would bring about losses to the industry once the story ended as many franchises or products sold for this series will probably become long gone together with it. While I still have not been able to catch a glimpse of this anime as of yet, I do believe it does have the same appeal as Bleach, One Piece or Naruto that has been attracting fans alike. So it might probably be a big blow to fans too that the series is quickly ending so soon after many years of publication... All things...

J's Chimes: What Constitutes A Good Cosplay

I love cosplay. To me, it is a creative way of expressing yourself and your hobby for others to appreciate. However, there are still not many people adopting this new trend yet in Singapore and often thinks that these things are childish and naive. The fact is that people cosplay to pay tribute to their favourite animes and are fans of it too. Cosplay is something I'd wanted to try and will attempt to participate at least once in my lifetime. What constitutes a good cosplay? Here are the 10 tips that I've came out with that are somewhat critical if you are aiming to please your audience.1. Your Appearance And LooksWhatever the case, your looks are still one of the most important factors to think about when cosplaying as your favourite character. This includes your physique and your face, whether you'd be suitable to cosplay as the character...
