The most cringingly awkward video you have ever seen.

#1. Anime Club. Need I say more? This is the reason I don't talk about anime to people in real life. Because these are the kind of people that represent it.

My school has an Anime/Manga/Otaku club. I've contemplated going, as I started reading a lot of manga this year, but from all the people I know who are in there, I know it will just be "OH MY GOSH I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN (insert obsucure japanese animation here)!" over and over.

Sad, it would be really nice to actually talk about the plot of Death Note with somebody, but with high school types, it just devolves into who can out-hipster each other.

EDIT: Also, whoever thought that the lighting was good in 1:28 of that video should never be allowed to touch a camera again.

In their defense, Death Note is now a 7 year old show. In an age where it's as easy as going to Crunchyroll to keep up with currently airing anime legally and many more channels that are not so legal to keep up to date, it's not hard to believe they'd be sick of hearing people talk about the same old shows all the time.

Seriously, Cowboy Bebop and Eva are good, I know. But damn it, they've been talked to death by now. This is a gaming forum and I've only ever seen one other person know what Sword Art Online is and I've never seen anyone here talk about Accel World. It's always the same twelve or so shows here.

Granted, this is a forum about games but you'd think a few more people might know and talk about the few anime out there that are about games.

End rant.

Obligatory


But yeah any of those MLP classroom presentation videos are just ridiculously awkward. Points for having the balls to go through with it but then I take them away cause WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.

I nerd out over some things pretty hard but in privacy or in the company of friends. Not with a bunch of people who don't know me and will judge the fuck out of me. Sorry, but sometimes you just really have to give a shit what people think about you.

I think American Idol takes the cake for eye-wateringly awkward moments.

If Id be living in the states right now and have a gun I swear Id have shot myself midway through Nr.9...

My personal record is about five or six minutes. If you can watch the whole thing, you're a greater man than I.

19 seconds.. then I told myself: "Fuck this shit, I'm out."

What sucks is that these attention deprived people are the loudest part of the fandom, so of course everyone else looks stupid by proxy.

This more then anything. I'm willing to bet that a good majority who enjoy the show simply watch it and talk about it with other people who they know who like it, and that's it. Just that small group who pull the stuff off seen in this thread are all it takes sadly...

Warning, it you'e an anime fan do not watch this-

I used to be an anime fan like you, then I took that video to my ears.
(Is this for real though? It sound almost a little to bad not to be a parody of some sort.)

OT: Yeah... I got nothing compared to the shit I've seen in this 2 page tread.
