FF: We are most familiar with the FF (FINAL FANTASY) series, FF series was originally a famous game of SQUARE, because it is very popular, so there are many peripheral, such as the game animation, OVA, movies, etc. However, recently the abbreviation FF is used to represent their own familiar works. However, the recent use of the abbreviation FF needs to be recognized, because the Matrix series also produced an animated short film called FINAL FLIGHT OF THE OSIRIS (the last flight of the osiris), the abbreviation is also FF. the director of the film and the film version of the "FINAL FANTASY" is the same person (Andy * Jones).

Their abbreviation is ROD

*OVA

First of all, let's explain what OVA is

OVA=ORIGINAL VIDEO ANIMATION=original video animation

OVA occupies a very important position in the history of animation, and is often seen in various animation information journals. An OVA can only be called an OVA if it has never been shown on TV or in a theater before, and it can't be called an OVA if it has been shown on TV or in a theater before it was released on video, LD, VCD, etc. The 'OVA' in 'OVA' is a video that has been shown on TV or in a theater before, and it can't be called an OVA. The 'V' in OVA also refers to all video/LD/VCD/DVD media, not just video.

Anime is the Japanese word for anime, which is pronounced アニメ. It is commonly referred to as "Japanese animation".

Anime is quite different from American cartoons, and the term "Anime" is often used to distinguish between Japanese and American "anime". First of all, anime is conceptualized as being aimed at a wide range of audiences of all ages, and as a means of communicating a story or providing entertainment on the same level as live-action movies.

Most anime are based on manga, and as serialized works, they are long, coherent storylines that contain a sequence of events and character development, which greatly increases their watchability, and readers have to buy the serialized magazines over and over again in order to keep up with the story.

Because of the influence of traditional culture, which says that no matter how good or bad a person is, he or she can become a god if he or she possesses a transcendent state; that it doesn't matter how good or bad he or she is or how he or she behaves, but rather that he or she is exceptional and transcends the mundane; and that it is honorable to die, especially to die for a noble purpose, many anime don't have a very clear definition of "good" or "bad". There is no clear line between "good" and "bad" in anime, and some characters often switch sides, and some can be "good and evil" while others are Some characters can be "both good and evil", while others are "neither good nor evil". Sometimes a character switches to the "good camp", but his/her thoughts and personality are evil, and vice versa. Similarly, when showing a war, it is possible that neither side is "good" or "evil". This is also why animation often directly represents death itself, which in Western society should be avoided at all costs and has become a taboo in the media.

Anime's fluency is also due to its wide range of subject matter: wandering samurai, space adventures, absurdist comedies, and even soap operas can be turned into animated stories that are not just spoofs of everyday life, but depict human characters and take the viewer on a journey into the realm of the fantastical.

The word "cartoon," which most people are familiar with, comes from the English word "cartoon," which most people understand as "animation" -- actually, it's more of a term for "animation. -- which is more of an American style cartoon.

American cartoon strength lies in the theatrical version, whether it is Disney, DreamWorks or Warner, the cartoon blockbusters in the mode of inheritance of the Hollywood style of large-scale production style - concise, but with a rich variety of lines, shocking scenes, magnificent audio-visual effects, famous actors and actresses meant to be suitable for the young and old dramatization of the plot. The American style of production is undoubtedly the most important one. Undoubtedly, in the production of the United States cartoon is the world's strongest, especially in the use of stunts is far ahead, which is determined by the United States of America's special film market environment, with a certain degree of local characteristics, the struggle between good and evil is a lot of American cartoon theme, of course, justice will prevail. Another characteristic of American cartoons is the "fragmentation" of the plot, roughly speaking, there is no coherence, separate chapters. So it doesn't matter if you miss a few episodes or start in the middle.

On the whole, American cartoons are geared toward children, promoting the Judeo-Christian idea of absolute good and evil, and the idea that there is only one solution at the end of the day. The fragmented nature of the plot allows children to understand the story without having to worry about missing a word, and they don't have to worry about complicated story lines or character relationships, and many of them intentionally avoid some of the ugliest issues in reality to protect children.

Animation is a big category. "Animation" encompasses all modes of animation. In the case of the catfighting anime that you see every day, "Animation" is not the right word to use, but rather the more correct catfighting anime word, Anime, which means Japanese animation.

In general, American "cartoons" are mostly exported to the world in the form of theatrical releases, while Love Catapults and Love Life rely on television animation to enter the international market, and the difference between the two is still relatively obvious.

Homunculus

The term "homunculus" originally referred to "a group of people who share the same interests, **** with the creation of their own literary and artistic works, called homunculus". That is to say, as long as like-minded friends, will be published in their own literary works into a book, not published by commercial publishers, but printed at their own expense, in the circulation of good friends, can be called "homoeroticism".

Later, due to the prevalence of anime and video game culture and the popularity of popular works among fans, "adapting commercial works and compiling episodic manga fanzines" gradually became the mainstream of the fanzine industry. Most of these works follow the character designs and period settings of commercial works, and then create different stories according to the preferences of the writer of the fanzine. For example, when a writer reads a certain work and thinks that the ending of the male and female protagonists is too sad, he or she draws an ending that allows the male and female protagonists to be together happily, following the original author's setting, or uses his or her own imagination to slightly modify the serious plot of the original work, and the result is a laugh-out-loud funny cartoon that makes people laugh, and all these belong to the "Adaptation School", which is a common genre of the cartoon industry. The most common form of gaiden manga in the gaiden world is the "adaptation school".

OTAKU

Anime

Anime

Anime is where it all began, and it's where Otaku came from. When an Otaku says the word "Anime," he or she feels as much as a Jew feels when he or she says the word "Adonai" (Lord). Anime, as a modern visual phenomenon, has accomplished its own development, and has also created Otaku, these people who are crazy about and study anime; liking anime, loving anime is the origin of Otaku as Otaku, and all Otaku's behaviors originate from here, and the phrase "I love anime" is the first spade of earth in the sanctuary of all Otaku's heart. The phrase "I love anime" is the first spade of soil, the first stone in the sanctuary of all Otaku's hearts, and the first step in their climb up the mountain of Otaku.

Broad knowladge

Broad interests

Otaku love anime, but their love is not limited to anime. With anime as their core, Otaku will reach out for knowledge about anything related to their favorite works when they can't satisfy their insatiable appetite for information about the works themselves. You can often see Otaku talking to each other, or even in professional circles, about war history, astronomy, multi-turrets, Western and Eastern cold weapons, Norse mythology, angelic hierarchies, the 72 Pillars of Solomon, CZ75, Oda Nobunaga, quantum physics, or anything that can be related to anime. There's no limit to the scope of these interests, and as long as they're touched by their favorite works, there's no reason for Otaku not to look into them.

Cartoon

Cartoon

The simple phonetic translation of the word cartoon is a generic term for anime, but for Otaku, it's a blasphemous term, and they insist that the correct term should be "anime". They insist that the correct term should be "anime", because Otaku feel that it separates them from the kids who are just watching. If an Otaku hears someone talking loudly about "cartoons" (or worse, "cartoons"), he will grunt, whisper "heathen", and walk away. Otaku who jumps up and argues, "It's not a cartoon, it's an anime!" It's not like there aren't any Otaku out there, but there are so few of them.

Dream

Dreams

Outside people always say that Otaku are "like children," but the main reason is that Otaku don't give up on their dreams as they get older and experience the vicissitudes of society. Anime and manga are fictional, and dreams are born from the desire for a fictional world. Dreams are the continuation of reality; Otaku save their dreams not because they believe they will become reality, but because they believe that dreams and reality can ****exist, that they don't have to give up their beautiful dreams to survive in the real world, and that they don't disregard or forget reality when they are dreaming. Thoughts soar freely in the clouds, but the feet are always on the ground; in the end, there is no such thing as a chasm between dreams and reality.

Emotionality

Emotionality

Full of feelings and emotions

On the scale of Otaku's heart, emotion always takes precedence over rationality, and in fact, watching anime is a process of cultivating emotion itself. It's not uncommon to see a man moved to tears by an anime, and occasionally a girl's blood boils with excitement when she watches Gaita; Otaku's strong feelings about anime make it easy for them to feel ecstatic during the aesthetic process of watching a certain work, which in turn stimulates them to go searching for information about the work in order to help them understand it more y. It's a virtuous cycle; because of this usual nurturing, Otaku are generally emotional in real life as well, even if that means they're easily agitated.

Fan

Fans

Fans are the lower form of Otaku, Otaku's reserve army. All Otaku evolve from Fan, as the love of anime is the basis for further increasing the level of study of anime. If a person is moved by anime and loves it, he becomes a Fan; if he is not satisfied with watching a few anime and starts to look for the classics in the history of anime, and starts to look for people who are like him to share his thoughts with, he is a true Fan; and when he goes further and starts to pay attention to anime related information, he is on the first step to becoming an Otaku. And when he goes a step further and starts following anime-related material, he's on his way to becoming an Otaku.

GAINAX

The name of a group of anime creators that is made up of a group of super Otaku. All the anime produced by this group is entirely from Otaku's point of view, pushing the audience's visual and auditory senses to the extreme, and is regarded as a supreme classic by the anime industry. Founded by a certain fat man who is honored as the "King of Otaku (Otaking)", almost all of the people in the group are first-generation old Otaku, and their works are important milestones in the journey of life for the new generation of Otaku; every work of GAINAX has a strong Otaku character: the works are characterized by a strong Otaku influence. Otaku traits: using a lot of meaningful or meaningless innuendo in their work, "audience-serving shots," asides, homages to the classics, excellence, romance, money-burning, and perpetually impoverished by over-expenditure regardless of income.

H

An abbreviation of a Japanese word pronounced to refer specifically to a particular type of work. A synonym for this word, as it is currently written, is "Kobo"; it is not a definition, but strangely enough, all Otaku are exposed to H - their extensive knowledge of anime makes it inevitable that they will be exposed to this word, which also makes up a large portion of anime;

H

The abbreviation of a Japanese word pronounced "H" to refer specifically to a particular type of work. a word that makes up a large portion of anime;- and neither men nor women are squeamish about H. Although Otaku's exposure to H was limited to the metaphysical realm and never practiced, thanks to a fat man by the name of Miyazaki a decade or so ago, Otaku were for some time falsely labeled as devoted practitioners of H, even going beyond the limits of law and morality; a prejudice that has yet to be completely eradicated.

Information

Information

"People who only watch Anime are nothing more than simple Anime fans."

"A strong ability to search for references," as defined by Dojio Okada, is one of Otaku's must-have traits. In this age of image overload, Otaku has evolved a cross-disciplinary ability to search for information in order to discover and decipher every hidden element of anime. In Otaku's view, in order to understand anime better and more thoroughly, a great deal of multifaceted information is as essential as air.Otaku are all koans; moreover, the very act of koans is a supreme pleasure. See the Broad knowladge (wide range of interests) article.

Juvenility

Young

Otaku have been called "children who can't grow up", but this expression also implies that they are young. Unlike their actual age, they are mentally young: young because they dream, young because they are romantic, young because they have hope, and young because they love something. Even if he has a family and children, even if he is already old, Otaku, like the mythical poet blessed by the goddess of destiny, will never give up his aspirations for life and the future, will always hold on to his dreams, and will always have a young heart.

Kuso

Spoofing

Produced only from a special secretion in Otaku's brain, which is very effective in stimulating Otaku's humor nerves.Otaku is bound to go for spoofing, and only Otaku can read Otaku's spoofing. Moreover, Otaku's brain's creativity and sensibility to spoofing grows as Otaku's degree deepens, although to outsiders, Otaku just rolls all over the floor laughing at something he can't even understand; they may only be surprised, and may dryly laugh a few times along with them, but they can never comprehend the significance of this laughter, and are just being human.

Love

Love

No work will ever shed the timeless theme of love, and this is especially true of anime. For Otaku, their love is not only for the opposite sex, but also for anime and for life; and the more and wider anime they watch, the more they understand this. A psychopathic murderer like Miyazaki Chin could never come close to Otaku's realm spiritually. Of course, BL is still to be firmly reviled.

"--This world, then, is all about love!"

Monomania

Paranoia

Otaku are all, and necessarily, paranoid. In fact, their paranoia, and all the things that arise from paranoia that are incomprehensible to outsiders, are not unique to Otaku; one is bound to become paranoid, in any way, if one bets fervently on a thing. This paranoia born out of love is his greatest motivation to move forward, able to push him to overcome all obstacles on the way to climb the peak, to move forward, and finally to create the performance that he deserves; that's why Mark Twain said: paranoia is the closest to God.

See the Oddity article.

New Invalid

New Human

The term New Invalid is regarded by Otaku as the highest praise, and the simplest definition they have ever given themselves. Strictly speaking, Otaku is not a name, but a state of being: in this modern, information-rich society, they are not drowned in the tidal wave of images and information that sweeps over them, but rather, they survive in it, searching for the materials and visual elements they need. In the case of anime, every detail in the picture and even the part after the picture cannot be hidden from them; it is precisely because of the need for information and messages that Otaku has developed a high degree of data collection and image sensibility, and on this level, it can indeed be said that this is a revolution for mankind.

Oddity

Quirks

Otaku's quirks have long been known, and they've become a reason for outsiders to criticize them. After all, not everyone is going to watch a movie while muttering words under their breath, or lift the skirts of female figures to see them; and frankly, it's not just Otaku, but anyone who's obsessed with something is going to be so focused on what they like that they're going to lose sight of the world around them, and it's understandable, if not natural, that this will lead to all sorts of ridiculous quirks.

Project oneself

Stand out, express yourself

The desire for self-expression is the essence of Otaku, and the main thing that sets him apart from the average Fan. Otaku collects information from various sources and then interprets it in a comprehensive way, but the key is still to discuss his own views with his peers and publish them through various channels; Otaku without the desire for self-expression cannot be considered Otaku, Otaku who loves catfighting and life always likes to get together to do the same thing, and a few Otaku in China stick to a couple of magazines and salon-style forums to communicate with each other. But the biggest result of Otaku's expressiveness is that it's because they express their opinions that anime producers can improve their productions based on their views, and the earliest generation of Otaku grew up and started to bring their own fanzines to the screen and magazines, and began to lead the direction and trend of anime development.

Quixotic

Don Quixote-like, rhapsodic

Otaku's two sides are half collector, half mania, and even in the coolest Otaku there is a deep fervor, a rhapsodic nature, which guides the passion of the Otaku as they grow older and as the grindstone of reality wears them down. Guided by this nature, in the face of age and the enthusiasm gradually worn down by the millstone of reality, the Otaku, like the rider rushing towards the windmill, bravely resist and fight with it; this is an infinite passion, and when this passion dominates the human being, the human being can only give himself fervently with this passion and fight for his own dream, for that is the most perfect completion of their own heart, where they can get the highest pleasure, and that is the harbor of their soul. .

Raunchy

Unpolished

"It is highly recommended that ex-chiefs save up their ambition."

--Justice, 2004

The so-called "standard" Otaku image established in the general public's mind can be shortened to "fat guy with long hair and glasses. "That's not true, of course, and no one looks like that anymore; but Otaku's unkempt appearance follows them around like a spell. Not washing clothes or bathing is a common occurrence for many, and long hair is common in Otaku groups, but that's only because they're too lazy to get a haircut. In addition, Otaku's living space is invariably cluttered like a dragon's den with countless anime, peripherals, hand-me-downs, games, and books of all sorts. Without parents to organize them, Otaku will only pick up the pieces when the mess becomes too much to clean up, and the space will soon return to its original state. Neat-loving Otaku I can't say there aren't any, but the number of such people can't be much more than the fingers on a hand.

Specialist

Specialist

Anyone who qualifies to be called an Otaku must be an expert on anime, in addition to being an avid fan. There are those who can list and expertly comment on the many and varied super robot anime from the 7's and 80's, and there are those who have enough knowledge of voice acting to make a dictionary. There are people who, when they see an animation clip they've never seen before, will blurt out, "Oh, Katsuyo Otomo did that," and immediately explain it to you in detail; Doji Okada once mentioned someone who could memorize all the lines of the Star Wars movies plus the sound effects, and Otaku doesn't think it's inconceivable that such a person could do that. Otaku's mastery of animation is based on a vast knowledge of anime, and the surrounding material, which goes hand in hand with their fervor for anime.

True see

True see

Otaku's penchant for scrutinizing anime is evident in every aspect. Seeing the essence of anime from its surface, they are able to tap into all the elements that are implied in anime - as well as those that aren't there at all; from the stylistic differences between the supervisors of each anime's artwork to the significance and derivation of a word in a picture, they can see it all, and then store that discovery in their minds in their massive They then store this discovery in the huge database of information in their minds. One of the key features of what is known as "Otaku anime" is that there are a lot of messages and hints in the plots and images, which Otaku can examine and search for in the "space"; for them, this is something they enjoy.

Unbowed

Unbowed

Otaku are a group of people who are discriminated against by a wide range of prejudices in society, and in China, these prejudices have turned into prejudices against anime and anime fans in general. However, Otaku, or anime fans, are never deterred by this prejudice. It was through the efforts of the first generation of Otaku like GAINAX that the trend of discrimination against anime in the early 90's ended with the popularity of EVA. --What about us?

Valentine's day

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day has always been a heartbreaking day that male Otaku don't want to talk about. Most Otaku don't get flowers or a bar of chocolate on this day, and while older Otaku find a goddess to worship in the idealized beauty of anime, the newer generation simply takes out their desires on the sweaty vases of cheesy girl anime. But contrary to popular belief, Otaku have more than their fair share of female friends: girls don't always accept that there's anime to love outside of her, and like-minded women are hard to love. Moreover, for girls who don't know anything about anime, Otaku's eccentric behavior and unkempt (see these two entries) appearance are the first things that scare them away. Although love is based on mutual understanding, these Otaku brothers are really pitiful. ......

With heart afire

Hot blooded

"Hot blooded" is a term used to describe a person who has been in love with an anime for a long time. "With heart afire" is a term that is easy to understand, but hard to explain exactly in words. It refers to a feeling, in the simplest terms, of being so excited that one feels as if one's blood is boiling all over one's body; the experience is so purely emotional that some people have used the phrase "the collapse of reason" to describe hot bloodedness. Generally speaking, this feeling is most likely to occur when watching super robot anime or sports and hardcore fighting manga; hot bloodedness is the ****ing sensation one gets from the boiling atmosphere and shocking images in a work, which is why Glass Mask, which depicts acting, is called "hot blooded". "Hot-blooded", like "moe", are two of Otaku's most apt explanations for his passion - see Emotionality. Emotionality).

Xenelasia

Resistance to outsiders

Otaku are solitary creatures. While many people do not understand and despise Otaku for their hobby, Otaku instead believe that it is the vast majority of people outside of them who should be despised. "Those who are not of their kind cannot enter their circle, and those in the circle never want to actively absorb outsiders from outside the circle; Otaku gatherings always take on the atmosphere of a cafe or salon, and for this reason, no matter how big or small the circle is, Otaku's circle is always the same. This is the reason why Otaku gatherings always have a café or salon atmosphere, regardless of whether the circle is big or small. In fact, for outsiders, the only thing they'll feel about Otaku is that, like Reimi Kanzaki in GTO, "They're all speaking the same language, but I just don't understand a word they're saying."......

Yamato

Yamato

The anime "Space Battleship Yamato" influenced a generation and reversed the status of anime in people's minds. Likewise, Yamato created the first generation of Otaku; in hindsight, the romantic elements, the seriousness of the subject matter, and the use of realistic expression all made Yamato a landmark work and the original classic in Otaku's mind. All subsequent developments in animation have taken Yamato as their starting point, and the elements that made Yamato so successful have become the foundation of Otaku's field of consciousness.
