Welcome to Otaku On FA!

General
The Otaku On FA Journal! Welcome to Otaku On FA! Home for all things Otaku... here on FA!
I've been thinking about making this group as early as...
...this morning.
But anyway, to business:
There are lots of folks on FA who are deep-down Otaku at heart. They love anime, they love manga, they love all things Japan. They wear the badge of Otaku proud with their convention T-shirt and backpacks with rolled up posters sticking out of them.
We are geeks, nerds, and often know more about Japan or other asian countries than we know about our own! But that's okay!
So if you're an Otaku, want to be an Otaku, curious as to what this Otaku stuff is all about, or for whatever reason, feel free to WATCH THIS GROUP!
So what might this group do in the future?
Well, here are some ideas in the works:
1) Organize and assist anime convention trips. Want to know who's going to <insert name of con here>? Need a roommate to help cover the cost of the room you booked? Trying to figure out how to get there? We'll help you out with all of that with individual journals devoted to each con all across the globe!
2) Think you're smart enough to take on the Otaku-Man and out best him in his Otaku Trivia Quizzes?! Then here's where you can prove your metal and show what you got! But be careful! Otaku-Man's friends with Ryan Omega, the writer of the Official Otaku Quiz Book!
3) Some anime and manga are REALLY popular outside of Japan. Gurren Lagann, Code Geass, Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, etc. But what's popular in Japan? We'll take a look at the anime and manga that has never left Japanese shores, but are integral memories of the Japanese people. These are the shows that Japanese people can sing the theme song from if you asked them to, off the street. These are the ones that have had major events, ceremonies, funerals, and even statues built in their honor!
4) Sub vs. Dub? Pro-Weeaboo vs. Anti-Weeaboo? Manga vs. Manwha? Otaku fandom is not without it's many arguments, controversies, debates, and flame wars. Here and there we'll dive into our members' collective psyches and find out where you stand in these hotly debated topics and have at it to see whose reasoning reigns supreme!
5) Anime / Manga / Video Game Fan Art on FA! Some FA members are fantastic artists and love to draw fanart of their favorite anime / manga / video game characters. We'll take a look at who rocks here on FA and add them to our Ultimate Fan Art Banzuke! You can also find their works in our Favorites section!
6) So you want to learn Japanese? Straight from the English edition of Shonen Jump magazine, we'll take a look at specific kanji and words so you can gradually learn to speak, read, and write Japanese! From Hiragana to Kanji and beyond, these tips will help you get a start on learning how to communicate in Japanese!
And MORE!
These are just a few things that Otaku On FA will do, and as time progresses, we might just do more and more! So stay tuned and see what happens!
