Confessions of a Closeted Otaku

So two months after the ‘unofficial’ opening of this blog, I finally get the chance to update/edit and all of that jazz. Parts of it is still very much under construction (links, RSS feeds, etc), but I got the important stuff out of the way (layout design, colors).

But enough of that… welcome! It’s been a few years since I was an active blogger (back in the good ol’ days of LiveJournal and Xanga) and now I feel is a good time to start up on it again. It’s been, what… four years or so? I sort of grew out of it for a while and then decided that in an effort to improve my writing skills, I’m coming back to the blogging scene. Oh, before I forget.. much thanks to my host Mylene for doing the hosting. I’ll pay her back in some shape and form (probably food).

So, this blog will all mostly about life as an otaku (that would be a fan of Japanese animation/comics/overall culture to you) and short little snippets from my boring though sometimes eventful life. There’ll be pictures, videos and lots and lots of writing in both English and Japanese.

With that in mind, you might be wondering about the picture I have on the top of this entry. That is the great lawyer Phoenix Wright (AKA 成歩堂龍一／なるほどうりゅういち／Ryuichi Naruhodo in the Japanese version) featured in the series released by Capcom. I’m (re)playing the 2nd installment Justice for All which I bought on eBay a while ago. I really like the novel-style and screaming, “OBJECTION!” into the mic of my DS. The next installment called Perfect Prosecutor (Jap. 逆転検事／ぎゃくてんけんじ）will be released in Japan sometime this year with the Western released still pending. The Japanese demo is available online here if you have free time to test it out.. pretty cool and fun.

Okay, back to work for me! It’s Spring Break which means it’s time to work, work, WORK! When I say ‘work’, I mean fun stuff that I actually like doing and not like boring papers to write and boring books to read. Let’s go!
