Ah. I probably have to actually buy anime related things to be eligible. I'm in the safe zone.

That kind of shit is what makes me hide power level to begin with.

Oh god, the rage, I can already feel it burning inside me.

>>34687876

I think I will watch it for sheer embarrassment factor

I wonder if that girl from American Idol will be part of it.

HERESY!

THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN.

>>34687975

>>34687959

You are far stronger than me, then. I can't even watch fictional people make asses out of themselves without being so embarrassed I have to change the channel.

>>34687975
You bet your ass she will. That will be the first place they look.

OH GOD

PLEASE NO

I'm not sure how to handle this one...

oh god please please tell me this isn't true

PLEASE

Otaku girl on that American talent show: The show.avi

Oh boy

>conventions, bookstores and libraries
This is where they make a mistake in searching for true otaku

True Otaku will stay inside... there is nothing to worry about.

I will enter, destroy the competition and then thank /a/ in my speech at the end. I will thank /a/ and 4chan several times to make sure

If any of you fuckers end up on the show i'll personally kill you.

>>Conventions, bookstores, and libraries.

I can't help but feel that searching for "America's greatest otaku" in public places somewhat defies the point of actually finding him.

>>34687876

>>34688031
Pretty sure the biggest otaku would be scared by having people in his room and will never be found.

Good. A show that will exacerbate the already warped perspective people have on anime fans. They must not want their goods to sell if they're going to try to make everyone too embarrassed to be seen buying them.

>America's GREATEST OTAKU

Please tell me they're just kidding, oh Jesus telling me this is all a joke.

If anime image was bad, after this show admitting to watching anime will equal "please shoot me in the face".

Fucking America.

I don't believe this shit.

FINALLY. After years of collecting all this shit
<----

I can finally show off to the faggots of this world that anime reigns superior, and i am its king. Bow down to me mortals, for no scouter may hope to acomplish reading my levels of power.

COME TO ME MY TORADORA PILLOWS, WE HAVE WORK TO DO.

11th may 2010 - the day /a/ got trolled into oblivion by Tokyopop

>>34688041
So all those hilarious motherfuckers that raid Comiket are faking the funk?

Well, this is a recipe for disaster.

You have to got to be fucking shitting me.

I hope they get some tastef-- Who am I kidding, it will be full of Bleach and Inuyasha fans.

>implying an otaku would go out and show himself on a tv show
man, theres gonna be weaboos everywhere

>>34688005
Fuck!
I know exactly what you mean, I don't usually change the channel instead I always end up covering my face, cringing, or turn to a side.

>The tour will visit conventions, bookstores and libraries across America

here's your first contestant

Oh shit I cannot hide my SSJ5 any longer

>The North American manga publisher Tokyopop will be touring the U.S. this summer to promote the company and film a reality show called "America's Greatest Otaku," in which Tokyopop CEO Stu Levy, Associate Producer Daisuke Kinouchi, and six interns will "search America for the #1 otaku."

>The tour will visit conventions, bookstores and libraries across America and interview fans competing for the title

inb4 there would be famous people/celebrity version of the show

NARUTARDS
vs
BLEACHFAGS
vs
WANPISSKIDDIES

BRACE FOR IT

The most bigger powerlevels are going to be showed there ALL OF MY RAGE

>>34688042
And then 4chan will be invaded with a horde of newfags

THIS IS FAKE LINK, RIGHT?LET ME PUT THIS IN MY ADRESS BAR

>Tokyopop
Can't get any good manga licenses, company's going under. What do? Oh yeah, turn into a tv production company. Becuase, you know, you've got lots of experience there.

MAKE COSPLAY PORN INSTEAD YOU DUMB FUCKS

>>34688090
Time to burn down your house with you inside it.

Tokyopop is gonna go under.

>>34688031
>>34688048

If they really want to find America's greatest otaku they need to just start kicking in doors in areas that have a large number of TT and BakaBT torrents. In public places like that the best they're going to find is your garden variety weeaboo.

This is the worst day ever.

>>34688041

except you know......all the WEEABOOS who DO go outside

>>34688047
Seconding this fuckers

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet u nerds r going to be on the show!!!!!

U faggots are gonna be EXPOSED!!!

What the fuck are they gonna do in the show? Jack off to anime porn?

There aren't very many interesting things that they do.

I will watch this because it will make me feel normal

I hope the reward is laughing at the winner. Or something fitting like bitter sweet like fat ugly Yaoi fangirl cunts, that rape you.

better go take all these gay buttons off my backpack...

Fuck dammit

Ok wow. My powerlevel is going to be locked forever inside of the safe in my brain.

DENY EVERYTHING. WHAT IS THIS ANIME OF WHICH YOU SPEAK? AHAHAHA

>>34688175
>be
>are
Not good enough. Try again.

Glad i hide my powerlevel

>>34688090
The only way to accomplish that is to go outside.

Inb4 the winner is a 4chan user

>>34688042
Don't thank /a/ or 4chan, instead just thank moot.
Just moot.

And you have to say that your favorite anime is Planetes.

If any of you guys are selected to the show, be a tripfag here so we can track you

also introduce everyone to /a/ and 4chan, it'll be great to have more people here!

trollface.jpg

>>34687876

I can only imagine the potential shitstorm on 2ch from this

shit should be real

they'll be cruising in benzos with scouters finding the high powelevels in every city then kidnapping them to be on this show.

So many unhidden power-levels in a single location. The effects will be catastrophic.

They need some waifuloving moe~~ cocksucker on there, they really do. The general public needs to see that.

One of you kids needs to man up and admit that you love your waifu on tv.

>>34687876

I can't see any way this is going to turn out good. Just going to be one giant embarrassment.

I have NO PROBLEM with people who watch anime in public. Good for them, it takes some balls. What sends chills up and down my spine are weaboos who act like they are from an Anime show. Usually I want to leave the room because I get embarrassed watching them.

This can't be good.

I know to avoid libraries, conventions and bookstores this summer. And if I forget and they show up, I'll be the one sprinting out of the store, covering his face with a manga he didn't even pay for.

Hey guise, what if the tripf/a/gs are joining,hmmm??

NO, leave me out of this faggotry. I live in the other side of the globe

The worst thing about powerlevels is not hiding them, it's low powerlevel faggots reveal them

If I told you guys I had an in with this show, what would you want me to do?

>>34688239
Moot is a fagot, fuck him.

This is why I hate the American anime industry.

lets all vote for tripfag taiga to volunteer

Participating just for trolling.

I look good so i will probably get a lot of fangirls,also i am going to talk ONLY about Boku no Pico,Kodomo no Jikan and Elfen Lied.
Bashing constantly shounen and moe shit,oh god i can imagine the hate.

GLORIOUS I MUST TAKE PART IN THIS
I WILL DESTROY ANIME ONCE AND FOR ALL

>>34688249
Does 2chan know about this yet?

DEAR GOD WHY IS THAT LINK NOT FAKE. WHY.

if it's any consolation they'll all be actors like every other reality show.

>>34688287

Burn everything, leave nothing

It's an invalid link, cool down folks.
Well, either that or the site is being flooded and the link is taking forever to load.

I bet the contestants won't even have figurines.
Also, I'm 86% sure the winner will be an /a/ user.
Can you imagine? "I go to this website called '4chan' where all the cool Otaku hang out." In his nasally voice.

Someone thought that this would, unironically, be a good idea. This person must be destroyed.

>>34688287

Nothing. Play dumb and pretend you don't even know what anime and manga is.

In the process, they will uncover mountains of child porn.

I nominate Chris-Chan

Also what's Taiga's response to this?

Don't know about you guys, but I'll watch it

The sad thing is you know that if you get one fairly okay person on there with good tastes (Kino's Journey, Mushishi, Crono Crusade... hell, anything above Inuyasha) he'll be hated by all the other weeaboos and get voted off (or whatever they do) almost immediately.

FUCK YES

ABOMINATION OF THE YEAR EVERY YEAR

5 minute speech about why 3D is fucking shit while walking back and forth carrying a dakimakura.

>Despite these market challenges, Tokyopop is back with a new marketing campaign called the, Tokyopop Tour, best described as the otaku version of MTV’s reality show, Road Rules. In this case a group of six otaku (or super fans of Japanese pop culture) will travel across the country in a bus with Tokyopop founder, CEO and COO Stuart Levy. The tour will stop at manga and anime conventions across the country and footage of the visits will be broadcast online. Levy answered a few questions about this new endeavor and explained to PW Comics Week how the otaku fanbase is still the most important thing in manga.

The best otaku are those 30-40 year olds that know Japanese and grew up reading old manga and still retain the habit. Those guys are awesome.

But hopefully, Grumpy Jii-san will enter the competition. He'd kick ass.

2nd season the winner competes with japanese otaku and realized hes playing with the big boys now.

>>34688389
Moot is a professional. A professional can't join a tourney...

>>34688389
>>34688403
you guys will be the ones who will blindly suck their cocks and promote this utter shit

DeviantArt reality show? DO NOT WANT.

>>34688333
Well fuck me, it's real.
I guess the site WAS flooded.

Thank got Taiga is not American.
