Welcome to the AnimeFuel Community Forums, I'm the owner of this website Demon fox and lucky for you I'm not here to use my ninja skills on yah, plenty of time for that later I assure you. Instead I'll be telling you a little about this place.

As you should be able to tell by now you are not registered with us as of yet and probably need a good reason to do so. Between you and I we both know you're a lazy bastard and so if you don't even want to listen to the rest of my introduction speech you may as well just go register.

Otherwise here's what you can do on our forums once you've registered. When you register you will be able to chit chat in our forums, entertain yourself with games and share videos with other members. The forums allows you to get access to free downloads shared by members, fast and direct support with video problems from members and staff and make anime requests which are priortized above anyone else's.

There are many more things you can do but our aim is to bring together a community of video fans where you can feel comfortable and make lots of friends around the world. God knows you need them.

So get your butt over to the registration page and join my I mean OUR community. Oh and one more thing watch out for a crazy guy with a gun he's wandering around somewhere in these pages and you'll probably see him if you become really slack with the forum.

This message will self destruct once registration is completed.

I saw one of the manga series (same one) named "Densha Otoko". I liked it. It was based on/inspired by real story.
And yes, Otakus can have beautiful girls too.

If I'm not mistaken that's where the "OTAKU" term came from. I believe Train Man was (is) a manga based on the true story. That's why term "otaku" has its pejorative overtone in Japan. But I'm not 100% positive, 'cause maybe I got confused with 2 different things, hee hee ^^ So, anyone could clarify it?
I haven't seen the anime. Once I've started reading the manga, but it wasn't my thing... sorry ^^

mwahaha actually the term otaku is a bad term in Japan due to a notorious case back in the 80's where a withdrawn hardcore anime fan aka otaku, raped, murdered, and did nasty things to women...

quite disturbing... his nickname was the "Otaku Murderer"

yeeesss! I knew it!! I got confused some stuff together!!! I don't even know how I did that! But I was partly right with each subject ^^. Maybe I read about both topics on the same day, and that's why I mixed both informations together... THAT's SO FUNNY!

Koopa... you're ALWAYS HERE TO CORRECT ME! You always do that! lol
