AnimeSugoi

No, I am not some otaku dictator. I recently watched a couple vids on Japansugoi where they were conducting a test to see how much male otaku’s would help a girl out if she was in a situation where another guy was harassing her like in the show Densha Otoko. Apparently 69/100 decided to help the poor girl out which is not bad considering its more than 1/2 and nearly 3/4. While I was watching the vids in my mind I was saying “Go Otaku, fight fight fight”. Of course I am in America and I go into the stereotype of enjoying fights. I know the crime rate is really low in Japan compared to the rest of the world, especially the U.S. for just last night I watched a news report of a burglary leading to the death of the one being burgled (burgled, is that a word?), but I believe all of those otaku’s should have tried to stop what they were seeing, especially that kind of buff guy in the second vid that fled. How do I know its otaku’s you might ask, well they were all going to a supposed maid cafe down the alley where they were tested. The vids are subtitled so you can understand whats happening if you know English/Japanese/both. Honestly I would have tried to stop the guy, especially analyzing the situation where he looked like a drunk and I know people can do stupid things when they are drunk. So fellow otaku’s out there, if you see something wrong and there is something you can do about it please do, especially if it means helping others out of a dangerous situation, you never know what kind of “rewards” you might get. Be brave like that one guy in the second vid who kept chanting “be brave” in his mind. Now I just made it wrong and maybe more of an incentive.
