My burner was broken for a long time and so I could not burn the anime off my beloved hard drive, and with new fansubs being released every day, by the time I did get a new burner in the mail, my hard drive was nearly toasted. With only 2GB left out of a 148GB, I was in serious trouble. Some mean burning took place. My hard drive is a little healthier now, but for a moment there, over 60% of the disk space was taken up by pure 95GB anime goodness.

So I was wondering just how much anime (hentai and manga included) people have on their hard drive, or at least the most that it has ever taken up. Some people may have bigger hard drives than others, so you can use percentages if you want.

I swear, my inspirations for new polls are sporadic. I should change the title “Weekly Poll” to “Irregular Poll.” Or at least “Current Poll.”

Cockblocking
(slang) Preventing a person (usually a man) from having sex or advancing a relationship with another person.

A good example of this would be REC - 07, where Fumihiko’s co-worker cockblocks Fumihiko when he tries to speak his feelings to Aka. You can also say Tomari is Yasuna’s cockblock in Kashimashi. Or, in real life, when you try to hit on a girl and then your friend comes, acts dumb, and ruins the moment. Freaking cockblocker.

Important moments interrupted happen in almost every single anime or J-dorama series, as well as American entertainment. Why? To postpone the inevitable hookup until the end. Oh, all the cockblocking that goes on in anime and real life. It wouldn’t be an anime or J-drama episode if the couple actually got to kiss or say what they wanted to without interruption. So the new question is: How do you feel about cockblocking in anime? Are you one of those people who gets uber annoyed when the couple is right about to kiss and then some loser comes bursting into the scene, screwing up everything? Or do you find cockblocking essential to romantic anime existence, as otherwise there would be no plot?

Okay, girls, I’m sorry I left you out last time. This one’s for everybody.

• What do those terms mean, you crazy otaku?

In order to participate in this debate, you’d need to know what shoujo-ai and shounen-ai actually are. I can give simple definitions but, for info-hoarding purposes:

• Shounen-ai.
• Shoujo-ai.

Now, on with the insanity!

According to the true meaning of tsundere, King Kong may be one-upping Rin in the transformation impact factor. Yet somehow, the masses find a dainty Japanese girl in a red and black seifuku much more appealing than a giant hairy ape.

• Let’s explore tsundere…

Tsundere is a combination of the two Japanese onomatopoeia, tsun-tsun and dere-dere. While the average Japanese person may not be familiar with the otaku slang “tsundere,” they should recognize these two strings of onomatopoeia.

• Tsun-tsun: Describes a state of irritability, cruelty, demanding, and indifference; i.e. “the cold shoulder.”
• Dere-dere: Describes a state of romantic affection, shyness, and general kawaiiraburabukanji; i.e., “Anou..Seiji-kun no koto ga…s-suki…desu…”

Just peachy, right? Well, now think tsun-tsun –> dere-dere. A transformation from hard to melty (that sounded less ecchi in my head).

• Who are tsundere?

Lately, some of the most popular tsundere are Suzumiya Haruhi and Rin Tohsaka, female characters presented as cold, ruthless, and selfish machines that eventually soften up. It all begins with the first pang of jealousy. Then the competition begins and the romantic self-denial cycle starts up. “Pshh, there is no way I like this loser, what are you talking about?!” In Fate/Stay Night, Rin really felt it after butting a few heads with Sakura and Saber over Shirou’s attention. Of course, her softness towards him will be denied a thousand times over until a certain point. And there we have a Fate/Stay Harem.

These are the most obvious tsundere candidates I can think of , but once I more thoroughly combed the Wikipedia definition, I found some interesting examples—not from anime. Princess Leia from Star Wars and King Kong. Leia was as much a tsundere as any anime character, for after ignoring Han Solo’s cheesy moves and boning her brother, she turns into a vat of love putty at the prospect of his life being endangered. King Kong, especially in the new movie, is first portrayed as a brainless, heartless animal that tears beautiful maidens from the jaws of society to poke around a little before tossing them to the bone pit. But by the time we’re at the empire state building, the guy in the seat next to me is bawling at the sight of Kong’s now-human, affectionate gaze set on his pretty girl-toy Sally.

There are also living, personal tsundere we interact with in each of our daily lives. Some have attempted relationships with these fickle people, craving the sweet dere-dere reward at the end of the treacherous tsun-tsun path of abuse. Whether this type of a relationship works or not, I don’t know.

• But why is it so popular?

why tsundere is so popular — guys vs. girls

• Will shounen-ai turn you off enough to stop watching an anime?

This question obviously doesn’t apply to fans of shounen-ai, and is mainly targeted toward a male audience, since most females don’t have a problem with it.

The issue of shounen-ai themes in anime shouldn’t be a big deal since most such anime is dominated by the theme; if one does not like shounen-ai, one would not be inclined to watch an anime with any boys’ love spin, since that is the element that that particular series focuses on. Examples of this would be the ever-so-popular Gravitation or Loveless. Shounen-ai fans must face it—those anime have nothing going for them other than the ラブラブ boys action. That’s their principle gimmick.

But consider this idea. What if your favorite series contained shounen-ai elements? Imagine any good series with a little male homosexuality mixed in. Reito having a whole different reason for passing up a Mai buffet. Would that ruin the anime enough to plunge its popularity into despairing depths?

Or, to put it into a more tangible perspective: Would you stop watching Ouran High School Host Club if Haruhi never turned out to be a girl?

By the way, I don’t think I really need to mention this, but, please, don’t search for “yaoi” on danbooru. It would frighten even the fangirliest of fangirls. Unless you’re, like, really into that sort of thing. Really into. The selection is poor, anyway…
