I am a big fan of the website Reddit. It can kill hours upon hours of free time with amazing articles, images, stories and more. It seriously is one of the best places on the internet, so long as you're looking to have fun. All kinds of people from the world over bring up content that spans just about every topic imaginable. Sometimes those topics focus in on anime and manga.
The site features some posts labeled AMA, which stands for Ask Me Anything. These threads are usually coming from people that have done some unusual/interesting things. As I was scrolling through the front page of Reddit last night, I stumbled upon the following AMA.
The world of Yaoi is one I was familiar with in name only. I knew what it was and what it offered, but wasn't interested in the content. To each his own, of course! With that said, this thread seemed like it would be an extremely interesting one. Just what in the world was it like working on translating Yaoi projects?
The thread turned out to be even more interesting than I first imagined. Not only do we learn about this person's particular work and translations, we also get to hear about the Yaoi industry itself. You learn of the support in Japan, the fanbase overseas and the attempts to build up the market the world over. Trust me, even if Yaoi doesn't interest you in the least, you'll want to check this out.
Ahh, i'm soo glad that Yaoi isn't Neglected from this Blog. ^3^ It's my favorite Genre(i think), and sadly, a lot of people seems to hate it, often for reasons that's not even true about it itsels.. Anyways~
ReplyDeleteRMC! (if you even read this~), i really recommend that you'll look up Junjou Romantica! It's Yaoi(but there's nothing graphic in it or so~), and i think you would actually like it. It's very Romantic, and extremely Funny. Plus, it even has Two Anime Seasons~ :) It would be awesome seeing a Review of it from you~
Though, i guess you don't watch that genre..~
@monsteryaoi:
ReplyDeleteI just watched and read Junjou Romantica. It was my first yaoi and I must say... I really enjoyed it. Now I want to know more about the series but there aren't any more episodes or scanned manga.
...I do feel a little dirty watching it though, lol
Whoa, really?! Awesome that you liked it. XD Then, if you want something to do while waiting for moe Chaps/Eps, then Read/Watch Sekaiichi Hatsukoi. It's from the same creator as Junjou, and is very similar, but also really good. ^^ You'll love it~<3<3<3
ReplyDeleteThank you for the suggestion. I know what I'm doing later tonight! lol
ReplyDeleteThat's great. XD I really hope you'll like it. It has 1 Anime Season and an OVA, and will get another Season (plus a New OVA). So, have fun~<3<3<3
ReplyDelete@ monsteryaoi:
ReplyDeleteStarted watching Sekaiichi Hatsukoi! It's sooooooooo good. Thank you for the recommendation! <3 <3 <3
You're welcome, and it's awesome that you liked that, too~ XD Also, i can give you More recommendations, if you need more, hehehe~
ReplyDelete<3
PS: there's some very belivable rumors that there will be a Season 3 of Junjou Romantica, soon, too. I soo hope that's true~<3 :D
Season 3 of Junjou Romantica?! YES PLEASE, lol. I'd take some more recommendations if you got any.
ReplyDeleteI know this is a side project for RMC but I wish maybe he would add a button to the page that would show recommendations made for certain categories and people on the forum.
Indeed. XD Ok, i'll recommend some. I'm sure you'll like some of them:
ReplyDeleteSukisho, Gakuen Heaven, Papa to Kiss in The Dark(OVAs), Kirepapa(OVAs), and Koisuru Boukun(OVAs). Please look them up, there all great~ :D
Also, that's true, RMC really should. :) Let's hope he does that sometime~<3
Yeah um... Gay porn... I don't think I'm um really into that O.o
ReplyDelete-LOLDSFAN-
ReplyDeleteYaoi is not Gay Porn! Well, it's 'Gay', but not porn. ^^ It's much more common for Yaoi to be like Shoujo (Romantica and Sweet~), so don't worry.
Just check this Romantic scene out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJSh1CPvI8U
It's much better than you might thing~<3
