Anime Con glomps
So this girl G, who is the leader of the Japanese Culture Club at my school (they take their title seriously - I was angrily hushed and corrected by one of the members when I called it Anime Club. Bit unreasonable, seeing as all the current members were introduced to Japanese culture via anime and the backbone of the club is still focused around anime) attended Anime Boston ‘10 and gained a...

Delusional Haruhi Roleplayer?
We got a new student in class the other day, we’ll call her Desu. she was wearing a Death Note shirt, skinny jeans, had dyed-black sidebang hair, with a poorly made Haruhi Suzumiya headband. Since our school didnt introduce new students to class, she must have personally requested it, just so she had the chance to get up there and say “My name is Desu, from (school). First off,...

Sweet Jeebus...
Let me start this off by saying that I am a fan of cosplaying and anime, but I keep my obnoxious level to minimum. I wish I could say the same for my ex-friend. Shall we call her Squee?
I have known Squee for 3 years and I have taken her to several conventions. I met her through a local anime club and we frequently hung out after the first encounter. Squee started out by being a nice, reserved...

Fangirl Overload
This is kind of a serious one, and sorry about the long length.
I went to an Anime Day at a city that wasn’t too far away from me. Now, if you’ve never been to an Anime Day, they’re not exactly like cons. In fact, not a lot like them. It’s a one-day event usually in a hotel lobby and you have to pay only three dollars to get into the dealer’s room. At the one I went to, they had a free anime...

Fangirl assault
It was my first time doing a cosplay and going to a con with friends. My friend decided to go with the new and oh so popular Gurren Lagann for our costumes. She ended up being Yoko (mind you she had plenty of stories from this romp..), my other friend as Nia, my sister as Rossiu, and myself as Viral. While Yoko got a ton of pictures by guys, no one really harassed her. However as Viral, who is...

Haruhi The Sexuality tester?
This is likely going to be a shorter story/less detailed since this happened when I was fourteen and it is something annoying that I have been trying to remove from the corners of my mind. I had gone to Anime Detour. It was the secound ever convention I had gone to. I went because all my friends were going. This happened as I was leaving my weeaboo phase and still had some connection to the...

What the crap, Germany?
This past weekend I went to a local convention with my sister and few other people. After getting our badges, we decided to sit down and watch the cosplayers walk by through the lower part of the convention, which was, naturally, a cosplaying hotspot. I saw quite a few great cosplayers and many not so good ones. But, after a while I saw him. A Germany cosplayer. I thought nothing of him. Heh. That...

The Three Not So Little Vexens
This was years back during Katsucon 08. It was my second convention and I attending with all the same friends (including my friends from my last story, Honeybuns). A few months prior, Huneybuns went alone to Anime Boston. She met a bunch of new friends and was super excited to see them again. I was excited to meet them too because I figured, “Any friend of Honeybuns is a friend of...
Update on submission guidelines
Sorry for the lack of updates lately - we’ve been busy, but we just queued a few stories so we should be back over the next couple of days. There’s just one thing we’ve noticed in the submissions, so we figured we’d make a public post on it.
We consider “hambeast” to be a slur. Although some people use it to refer to someone who simply has bad hygiene, it is...
Online weeaboos
Well there’s really not even much to decide whether this one is a weeaboo or not. She actually claimed herself to be a weeaboo. Probably like it’s something to be proud of or something.
Anyways, getting off track.
So there was this girl, we’ll call her Critter. Anyways, when I first met Critter, she was a pretty decent person, actually. She was sweet, friendly, liked a handful...
reverse weeaboo?
I went to a small local convention this weekend. I had just been tagging along with my boyfriend who was visiting some friends from out of town. Two of my friends, Asuka and Rubber Suit (re-named for their costumes) were there. That evening, Asuka and I went to the costume contest. She’s a very talented designer, and this was the first year she hadn’t entered the contest. Rubber and...
justgonnastandhereawkwardly-dea asked: I was just wondering...why is bad cosplay considered kind of weeaboo-ish? I mean cosplay is really expensive and not everyone is 'perfect' looking. I thought it was something you do for fun ya know? I'm not trying to rage, complain or anything like that but I feel a bit of sadness when I see someones cosplay being bashed or made fun of. It's kind of like how people dress up on...

It’s about weeaboos. It’s hilarious.

Creepy Omnomer
So it’s Otakon 08, I believe. I agreed to my friend, let’s call her Honeybuns, a while back that I will help her and her other friends preform a skit for the masquerade. So fast forward to the night of said event.
We are sitting back stage waiting for our group to be called. We are all sitting in some chairs up against a wall. Me and Honeybuns are just talking, when a girl comes up to...

OH GOD, PLEASE FUCKING HELP ME
So a few weeks ago a new kid transferred from a school not to far from mine. You know that one kid who moves in and he’s just really really awkward? He’s that one kid.
So the teacher introduced this guy to the class, and when asked to say a bit about himself he quietly said “I like Japanese stuff…”. He had sort of weebish clothes (skinny jeans and an Invader Zim...
