Hey everyone!
I don't know about you guys, but I noticed there are some very negative haters posting comments on Hulu or Twitter, etc.
I'm sure all of you have also experienced negativity from haters, either at school or elsewhere. It's emotionally draining - and depressing - but the best thing to do is stay positive. Be yourself. Believe in who you are, your passion and what makes you happy - that will give you strength.
For me, I love Japan. I love the fact that I brought manga to America. I love seeing so many "genki" and positive otaku here in America. And if there are haters and negative people out there, that's part of life. It won't get me down - I enjoyed creating, directing and hosting the show, working with an awesome team, meeting all of you who I got to meet (both in person and online), and being inspired by all of your passion.
So, together we can overcome it all.
Ganbarou!!

Comment by Jeanette G. Brown on March 2, 2011 at 3:11pm I know wht u mean Stu my so called "friends" actually called my anime addiction "CRAP" and one of them watches anime not as much as I do but still she watches them; and what really pisses me off is how they say "BUT ITS NOT REAL" like i don't know its not f***in real. LOL Gomenasai, I just get so angry thinking about it now. After it hap
pened I went home and cried a little but that experience made me stronger because i realize that I cant let other people pull me down like that or else i really am a loser and they win. I tell people now that i like anime and manga but im also self-conscious on who i tell cause it can be people who don't care and ask something,those who go blab it to other people making you the center of attention in a bad way,those who see you in a different light than before, and those who ask questions about hoping to get into it too. So the next time someone asks you "whats your hobby?" you can either stay true to you or lie to yourself like you've maybe done before but either way....
Ganbette ne !!!!!
Comment by Sara Baumann on March 2, 2011 at 2:11pm I remember there was a long time where I was shunned for liking anime and manga, but I found friends and we persevered through it together! And everyone here, I feel, are like friends, and even if its us against the world, I have a good feeling we would win ;3 As long as everyone's able to see past the haters, we'll all be alright. And, really, you are one of the most awesomest people in the world, bringing manga to America, you are truly one of my heroes. And if you can through the haters, I know myself, my friends, and everyone who loves anime and manga can continue loving what they love. Arigatou gozaimasu for everything! The show, bringing manga to america, and the countless other things you've done :3
It's too bad that there's so much negativity for just liking something...Honestly, i guess part of why i love anime is because it's not really mainstream or popular, it's different from what most people like which makes it interesting. However, I'd like for people to at least respect it if they dont like it, and what's the point of posting a comment that's negative? I loved the first episode of AGO, and honestly cannot wait for the next one. We finally have a show about otakus, in fact this is going to keep me content until April when I go to Anime Boston. I'm so grateful for everything you've done, both the show and just bringing Japanese culture to America, arigatou gozaimasu :)

Comment by alejandra meza alvarado on March 1, 2011 at 4:27pm heh :x haters, thats part of being an otaku people try to get you down because they call it inmature not apropiate or even gross, well who didint saw or grew up watching heidi or candy candy? or even astro boy, saint seiya in deed there are anime for adults, kids, family, thats just like life , isn`t it? there are shows that are not anime but they have sexual content or shows that are simply fun, they are just mind closed people and what makes us love anime is infact that, we are OPENMINDED we see trough soul trough story... regardless of the images, regardles of what people say, i even got confused and there was a time when i tought that anime was not RIGHT but something told me you love it !! and
frankly i dont care if it is bad or right or whatever... the only thing that is valuable is that if you like it and you are not harming people .. WHAT`S WRONG WITH IT?
stu .. congrats on this show !! :D i really love it :3
