Around where I live, there are a whole bunch of anime fans. I guess I'm just fortunate that way. But they are not major fans like me and my friend. Most of them don't roleplay either, minus one or two. But roleplaying does help erupting skills.

exactly! Here in Austria, the only animes that are watched by lots of people are Naruto and One Piece, you know..the typical stuff xD But I think I'm more fortunate with that than many other anime fans are :S

Absolutely! And there is also something that bugs me a lot. Here, in Bulgaria, there aren't many (or should I say any) shops that sell manga and anime goodies. It's good for your finance but I want to support the original artist too. I can buy the book on-line too but it's a lot more expensive-there's the shipping and all. For me it's a better to buy a book (that goes for normal books too XD) and support the author/artist than read it on-line but sometimes you just don't have the choice...

'Guess that's what anime conventions are for. I usually go to them with my friends and get to meet new people who live nearby. There aren't many people who role-play at my age though, I'm rather young. And that's completely relatable, Choco. I still watch the big-shot animes, but they seem slightly repetitive to me.

I like buying books, but I usually read online because I'm not exactly the richest person around to satisfy my anime desires. xD So I just read online. Plus, most of the time, I'm ahead of the public releases. Takeshi, I'm pretty young as a roleplayer myself, I know what toy mean.

I'm turning fourteen in early September. Yeah, I get looked down on many occasions, so I try to make it up in actual role-plays.

Well, I'm 16 so we aren't THAT far apart guys :33 And I think it's great that you have an interest in roleplay with 14 years, the other people I know, were just thinking about stupid stuff like their first time going extreme partying and stuff xD

I don't discriminate roleplayers because of their age. I was almost 14 when I first started roleplaying, I believe.

me too, I guess, but you couldn't call that roleplaying because my posts weren't much more than: He sat down. or stuff like that ._.

VOI! There is nothing wrong with liking face book. When myspace went to shit that was the only place I could go to without making my computer lag so bad I wanted to throw it out the window. Then site model stopped being a B*&^% then rp.me came along. I just like to troll around face book and I have a lot of friends on there.
I can’t remember when I started rping but I think it was at least 6 or 7 years ago.
I refuse to rp through texting. I don’t rp at all when I am on my phone simply because it takes to long to type and if I am not home I am at work and I just don’t have time to fiddle with my phone at work.
Now as for rl friends any friends I have in RL that like anime I have met online first. I don’t have any close by. I had some in high school but I wasn’t close enough to them to stay in contact. I actually find some anime fans very annoying since they think they are basically Japanese just because they watch a crap load of anime. It’s been given a bad name because some Otakus don’t know when to turn it down a notch. Hell Even in Japan Otakus are looked down upon.
I agree with it being silly to be judged just because it’s from Japan. The arguments I heard about it is “WHY ARE THEIR EYES SO BIG!?” … Um yeah why is Timmy Turner’s Head bigger than his body? He shouldn’t even be able to stand… Western cartoons are even less in proportion then eastern, Just sayin.
We shouldn’t expect much though. It’s the same as any other prejudice behavior. Until people can become more open minded about anything there is no hope. There are still sexists and racists so why should we expect everyone to like Anime? It’s Japanese so it must be bad. Just like women belong in the kitchens and black people belong in the fields, and don’t even get me started on the gays. (Please note those are not my actual views I am just making a point.)
HAHA! I always got good grades in school. I never used forums though. I never even used the internet for it. Hell I never even studied xD I was just naturally awesome. That and I always did my homework.

Well, that makes me feel better, thanks! Things fourteen year-olds usually do just don't interest me that much.
I also started with quick one liners, I still do it in chat role-plays once in a while. I found out that it wasn't really enough in forums and added more details. Paragraphs I can handle, but I'm still having a lot of trouble with novella, but I'll probably get it with more experience.

Facebook is annoying. I don't get roleplay on there, like, SRS!FCE. Its too.. Unorganized for me, IMO. I just stuck with Myspace, even though it sucks now. But now I'm on RP.me. I also roleplay on MSN.
