Did you know that there is an official Anime examination that you can take in Japan? There are 3 grades. -Super fan -Normal fan -Beginner fan How do you rate your general anime knowledge? More pics from the exam at Ascii.
I'm gonna say super fan, but it's probably between normal and super. sure do like those maids ^_^
which reminds me danny, my parents were telling me something about a japanese test foreigners have to take to be able to work in japan, it has like A, B, C rankings. You wouldn't happen to know the details on this would you?
LOL... The only A.B and C rank I know about is... It needs two people LOL... A is touching, B is kissing... C is LOL... Heard this from some J dorama I watched before...
Here, you can check some info here, though i thought the test had a different name http://www.jasso.go.jp/eju/syllabus_01_e.html maybe im wrong, and this is the one JASSO aplies, still it may give you a general reference about it. BTW, Danny, how hard is it for a gaijin to get a job there, even a supermarket one, just to live a little house with tons of figures, futon, paasocon and internet. (I think it would be a good idea to make a post about internet, or house bills, how are they paid, how much you can expect to spend in a typical month) Im planning to go to japan, try some luck in finding job (´･ω･`) Any pointers about that would be a great help on a lot of us i guess
i'll take the girl 2nd from the left standing, in white dress. Oops! wrong question. ('~')
Yo Danny; Count me in the same as well. I'd love to learn a little more about how hard it is to get into Japan. My research so far has suggested that Japan strongly discourages Gaijin from the United States from moving there. Am I correct? Trighap
Yes, you should never go to Japan. Just give me the plan ticket and I will happily put up with the verbal abuse and baises. I will give a full sentence report upon returning, so your ego will remain unscathed. Also, Gordon, since you called her first you get first dibs. So I call shotgun.
I Guess I am a Normal Fan
me, maybe normal fans... I still not qualify to go for the Super fans...
Beginner Fan; I still need more mugging to qualify for a Normal or Super.
Lately it's normall fan I think
normal fan, cause i lack guts to buy figurines^^, and guts to abuse money to buy it(still considering fun factor and use)
i think i am somewhere between normal fan and super fan lolz XDDD
what kind of qualifications would you actually need to be a super fan? i consider myself somewhere between a super fan and a normal fan.
You would have to have super powers. I thought this was obvious to everyone. These can include but are not limited to: 1. Being able to talk for an hour and a half about an anime series without taking a second breath, or letting the person you are talking to intergect. 2. Walk around is cosplay, while reciting lines from the series verbatim. 3. The complete inability to understand when someone is being facetious in their interest of your dissertation on Narutos headbands. 4. Shouting words from the show out randomly as if you have tourettes. 5. Not being able to get laid for years (yes, its a power). 6. Deciding whether to buy food/rent or the newest figure/gundam/anime/doujin/dakimura out there.
While I definetely don't consider myself a super fan, I surely fall into the category of normal fan. Though I don't have any figurines...yet...i'm considering maybe a few. That whole lack of money for anyone else but necessary thing still poses problems. I too would be interested in seeing how much Japanese spend per month. Not because I'm going to live, but just out sheer curiosity and interest in the culture. I think they call that a japanophile
I would consider myself a super fan with normal knowledge ;p But it will probably be beginner if they go into details or about older animes that I don't know of. And my gundam knowledge is pretty small... ^^;
not well enough to answer 90% of that test... I am limited to recent series and generic knowledge on most mecha series...
I'd take the cute girl with in a red undershirt with a black top XD
Beginner.... But i do enjoy some of the popular ones!
Somewhere between Normal and Super, I am knowledgable with Anime but I'm not that nerdy to as call myself a Super fan.
Cutesy girls. Having looked at the sample questions, it's actually harder than it seems!
Well, I'd say super fan of the pink maid and the standing girl, white dress. For the rest, normal fan only...
Normal+ I guess;^^... I wonder what grade I'll get if I tok the exam myself... not that I fully understand Nihongo yet... BTW, does cosplaying while taking the test gives better grades? LOL
Normal. But the Sailor Fuku X Maid combi of the girl in the extreme right is so awesome. :)
