Um... the slightly off-kilter (with perhaps a few too many berserk buttons) but generally level-headed and intelligent fangirl that normal people can talk to like a sensible human being about other topics, with which she can at least feign familiarity? I don't know -_-;
A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!I think you just hit on an awesome idea for an RPG, Matrix. In a World… that hates and fears fangirls...
the dice are loaded, the deck is stacked, the game itself will hold you back@Lull: Oh my god! I made up a game like that when I was a kid! My friends and I would play it over MSN back when I still had the internet at my mom's house. We called it Ninjo no Bishounen (loosely 'Bloodshed of the Prettyboys'). It was basically a spinripoff of the Yu Gi Oh tv show incarnation of Duel Monsters.

A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!Yes, Furiko, you must do an LP of TTGL on the anime/manga forum. It will be epic.
Also, at the end you have to take a picture of yourself pointing at the sky. Don't worry, I'll do one too. I think Fawriel should too!
We can be a little Gurren-Dan all on our own.
Also: Matrix, you are a fairy.
Feedback Of Heteronormative Gender Stereotypes in AnimeIf you want gratuitous fangirl Japanese, I'd suggest reading Ghastly's Ghastly Webcomic
. Fair warning: it's NSFW — and the fangirl has a penis.
It Just Bugs Me too, man.
Feedback Of Heteronormative Gender Stereotypes in Anime@Faw and [AOD]: I don't have any editing software, besides Windows Movie Maker. Or a mic. Hell, I don't even have a cable to connect my camera to the computer at the moment. *is low-tech and lame*
The Shou-Gurren-dan? Fuck yeah, I'm in. SO THEN! WE'LL LIVE ON, BAR NONE!
@GMH: You know, sometimes there are just words in other tongues that work better to describe something. I could go on and on in English about Lina Inverse, and talk about how she's clever and devious and sometimes an outright swindler, but she's also a nice girl and considering the setting, all that stuff is probably her only source of income, and blah blah blah... Or I could just say she's maline and leave it at that.
@dkellis: I'm way too scared to indulge in Gratuitous Standard-Chinese, 'cause aside from Spanish and Hindi it's like the one language where my accent-fu fails me. I can get along fine in snippets of Russian and Italian and sometimes German (although I suspect years of French immersion mean that I sound vaguely lorrainienne), and even my ill-fated attempts to teach myself Gaelic, but with Chinese you just never know if you're really saying it right, and I don't want to have to bore somebody by makin' 'em have to correct my pronunciation in that tennis back-and-forth thing that happens. Is Cantonese any easier?
So... how 'bout them attractive fictional characters?

A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!Baccano! has plenty. Gonna sit it through first, though.
This is precisely why I'm reluctant to have anything to do with anime.

Nooo! A mic would be worse - you'd all hear my squeeing, and my Gratuitous Fangirl Japanese, and my shouted advice to characters, and... my reputation would never recover! ;_;
