Anime off the screen

Postby SierraLea » Fri Dec 07, 2012 6:10 pm

I had the craziest experience last Wednesday. We were reading the essays we had written for one of our college classes in class. Mine was about maintaining individuality, and i posted it in my God's poetry thread for your reading pleasure. But someone else wrote his entire essay off of Equivalent Exchange. Yes, it did come from FMA, because I asked him that. How cool was that?! FMA ended up in a college level writing assignment! Now that was awesome!

Has anyone else ever encountered Anime off the screem like this? And I mean out of books and off of sites too.

Sorry, I don't really understood what you are saying.

Could you please clarify it a bit better?

How's this?
one of my classes at college gave an assignment. We had to write an essay about one of our core beliefs and how we got that belief. Mine was individuality, someone else's was equivalent exchange, taken word for word from the anime. has anyone ever experienced this, where anime or manga pops up in the off screen world?

Only because I'm the instigator of it. >_< No one but my little sister gets it, though.

I used to think jealousy-induced breast-groping was something anime creators made up to cram in more fan service. Used to. My wife has had an interesting time here.

I, uh, had a similar experience. It was awkward.

I have the exact same problem in my family. Only I have two little sisters who get it instead of one, and they only know what I've told them because my mom won't let them watch anything.

My roommate did her Senior Integration Project (something everyone at my college has to do their last year) on manga, anime cons, and anime fans in general. She looked at it from a sociological perspective, taking a very silly subject very seriously. It was pretty cool :cool:

Did she come to any interesting conclusions?

Someone in one of my English classes told us that she cosplayed as part of her introduction. That was pretty cool. Never got to really talk to her in-depth, though.

I basically forced a bunch of my college assignments to SECRETLY BE ABOUT ANIME. It was kind of a terrible habit.

- Had to write a paper for an innovation class on how user-level innovation is often the precursor for new corporate-level products; wrote about fansubs.
- Did a semester long survey and marketing analysis project on how consumer engagement with anime piracy relates to monetary consumption of anime home video and merchandise.
- Wrote a paper for my ethics in video games class (YUP THAT WAS A THING) on the visual novel School Days.
- Wrote some Media Studies paper (can't even remember the prompt) on fanart and artist alley culture.
- Did a year long anthropology study extending on study of fanart/AA culture.
- Took a class on Chinese classical literature, had to come up with a semester project relating to one famous text. I chose Romance of the Three Kingdoms and did my project comparing genderbent moe adaptations. For better or for worse, I watched Ikki Tousen, Ryofuku-chan, and Koihime Musou FOR SCHOOL.

I REGRET NOTHING.

That is one heck of an amazing list. I admire your creativity in coming up with different ways to squeeze it in there.

I'd classify that as for better.

For obvious reasons.

Now I am jealous.

Well, it's all a bit too complicated for me to remember exactly, but mostly she was classifying the different kinds of fans, and what fandom does for them. There was also an interesting portion which showed how attending cons is almost a religious act for certain kinds of fans.

Wait, you want to watch Koihime Musou, Ikki Tousen, and Ryofuku-chan?

Is...is there something you're trying to tell us?

Perhaps the operative phrase was "for school". :)
