OTAKU Vamsam Daww!!! (Last Days of IBM #3)

Time to go full on OTAKU MODE!!!

Ahhhh!!!

The days of preparing for the interviews were over!

It was finally time to have some fun. 

Reading Manga is fun! Reading a fighting manga is double the fun!! And reading a gory fighting manga is triple the fun!!!

So, I picked up Attack on Titan to read.

Attack on Titan is more of a political manga than a fighting manga. Since it had a lot of mysteries, it made it even more enjoyable for reading the manga. When you have a lot of mysteries, then it will build you double the amount of expectations. And TBH, this manga didn’t live up to its expectations. Especially the climax.

I hated the climax to the core.

It was a disappointment. I know. It was not a great treat for my boredom. I thought that the companies would give more work to the people who are in their notice period. But it didn’t happen for me at all. The only work I had was to give KT to the newly joined people. And here and there, I had prepared and appeared for other interviews.

Thus procrastination started to bloom and along with the disappointment caused by AOT, my inner Otaku got hurt badly. But not for long! Something special had happened all of a sudden.

Let me travel in time now. 1 year ago…

When I was enjoying my isolation in Bangalore in 2020, (it was the time I started watching Fairy Tail) I was watching and reading anime news frequently. This is a habit of mine. Whenever I indulge myself in any anime or manga, I would make a list of anime/manga to watch/read. But I never followed it. So, at that time, I was watching anime news and reading anime podcasts to catch up with the current trend of anime and manga.

And that’s when I found a reddit post about the Demon Slayer anime. I had watched the first season of Demon Slayer before the pandemic (in Jan 2020 I guess) and I loved the anime. And I heard that the second season would be released as a movie. That reddit post was about that movie.

This is the post: Bring Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) Movie to Indian theaters.

As the title says, it’s a petition. If we reach 50k votes, the movie would be screened in Indian theatres. 10k people had already signed the petition. It still needed 40k more. It was weird. I never thought this would change anything. Later on, I surfed the internet and found out that this had happened before.

Yes!

For DBS: Broly movie, they created a petition and after reaching the required votes, that movie was screened in Indian theatres. It gave me some home. I signed the petition and asked my friends to sign it as well. And I would check it from time to time.

Fast forward 1 year…

I haven’t watched/read any anime/manga for a lot of days. After reading 25 Volumes of Detective Conan in the month of January, I stopped being an Otaku (Except watching and reading both One Piece anime and manga). And while reading Attack on Titan, I started to read Otaku related news as usual. Then it suddenly struck me. I went back to see the Petition.

And I saw the Screenshot below.

Gommala, my inner Otaku, attained an orgasm to a level that it had never reached before.

It was released on the 2nd week of August and I saw this in the last week of August. After finishing Attack on Titan, I planned to see this movie at Fun Mall in Coimbatore. Initially I was planning on watching it alone. But later, I included SJ and NSK for the party. They didn’t like it but I totally enjoyed the full experience of watching the film in the theatres.

I watched the movie on August 30, 2021 - A beautiful Monday. 

I never expected to see a huge crowd in the theatres. And it's not even the first week. 

With that, one month of my notice period came to an end. 2 more months to go. And a sudden sadness engulfed my heart. And I need to find other escapisms to evade my glee. 

I thought of picking up some books to read. As per my plan that I had written in the January of that year, I still haven’t started the witcher series. But I wasn't able to bring myself to start it. I was doing one webapp project at that time. So, mostly I spent my time doing that. And even doing that is not escapism. It's just a way to kill time during my work hours. I even stopped watching movies. I wanted something else as an escapism.

And September gave me those escapisms in the form of travel!

First Phase : The Big Three(or) The Animes that made me an Otaku (Being Otaku #3)

DEATH REAPERS, NINJAS AND PIRATES Ziggy TV was amazing. But not amazing enough. It only had the episodes of first season of bleach. I was stuck again. I needed more of bleach. That is when I discovered a website called watchbleachonline.com Followed by the discovery of IDM software, I had a hectic schedule of downloading single episodes one by one and binge watching it one by one. I embraced torrent again after learning the concept of torrents. It was simple to understand, and I had to select the right magnet with a lot of seeders. This trick was very useful and thereafter I started using IDM for downloading large single files and uTorrent for massive series downloads. uTorrent was very much handy when I downloaded One piece. My holidays came to an end with Bleach. I loved all the seasons even the fillers. The Aizen Battle had somewhat resembled me with the Hyperbolic Time chamber in DBZ. But when I think about it, all the mainstream Shonen series had influenced from Drag...

Attention! Good Characters Needed! (Supernatural #5)

  The Boys A.K.A. Sam and Dean Winchesters I could watch any episodes with Sam and Dean on it. This kind of watching brought me back to my childhood days. I would watch cartoons because of characters. Be it Courage the Cowardly Dog or Scooby Doo or Popeye or any fucking cartoon I’ve watched in my childhood days.     Sometimes, I would never understand any episodes but watching those characters made me happy and I would binge it anytime I watch. Such characters were the Winchester Boys.  As I was watching Supernatural, I started liking the fillers episode more than the canon episodes. And it was because of Sam Winchester and Dean Winchester. Sam and Dean are brothers. When Sam was a baby, a monster kills his mother, Mary Winchester. John Winchester – Father of Sam and Dean, rescues both his sons and becomes a hunter – a person who hunts monsters to find out the monster who killed his wife and get his revenge. This show starts when John goes missing and Da...
