Guilty Pleasures - 10-30-2008, 12:31 AM

Does anybody have a manga/anime that they are fans of, but even just the slightest bit embarrassed to admit it?

For me I would have to say that it's Sailor Moon (the original series, cheesiness and all). It's actually my first anime (saw it when I was in first or second grade) and I really liked it then, so I guess it has just kinda stuck. I'm an 18 year old guy, so I find it a little embarrassing to admit that I still like it (on top of that I had a huge crush on Sailor Mercury back in the day). So is there anyone else out there with a guilty anime/manga pleasure?

the closest thing that i can say...is the fact that i read fushigi yugi from beginning to end.



But to despair was to wish back for something already lost.
Or to prolong what was already unbearable.

Probably Hokuto No Ken, just for the fact that it doesn't make much sense... BUT I LOVE IT!!! I can't explain why, either it's the big amount of blood or the corny story, I just love it...

Lol, I'll admit it. You weren't the only one.

Well, I'm generally quite open about the series I watch and read...

But, for the longest time, I hid the fact that I absolutely LOVED the Gravitation series.

I own all the 遙かなる時空の中で manga, the DVDs, and almost all the games (PS, PS2, PSP).



If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

Paradise Kiss. Regardless of what people think of the characters, I just melt every time I read it. Even though it's not my favorite series, it's really heart wrenching.

I also need to add Loveless. Not my top favorite either, but I hate shounen-ai and yaoi, and I love it. The emotions and dedication Soubi has to protect Ritsuka is admirable.


Thanks for reading!

Haha really? That makes me feel better. But I couldn't really help it, she has that cute genius thing going on, and the cool blue hair.

I'll add another one to the list. I don't actually watch it regularly, but if I start watching an episode of YuGiOh, I just can't stop. I have no idea why. They just start busting out monsters left and right with their ridiculously set-up strategies and I'm hooked.

My goodness... You remind me of my bff J. Even though we're too old for it, she loves YuGiOh!! I agree that it's entertaining, but the way it is in English...
