Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.
Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.
KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.
So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.

I have been entrusted with an important mission from the Bossman. It is a poll of Otakuites.
Please answer the following questions:
1. Would you consider yourself a new-school or an old-school otaku?
2. Are you aware of the concept of glomping?
3. Do you ever use the term "glomp"?
Please answer this poll within the week... or I'll start sending PMs to random people. Gahahaha!
Update: Thanks for all the comments so far! There are so many that I don't think I can reply to them all.
Everyone, tell your friends that this poll is open. Also, I'll be bumping this post about once a day, so apologies in advance for spamming your Backroom.
Update part deux: If you're wondering what the reason is for this, the answer is: just for fun. ^_^
Introducing theOtaku's unofficial Full Counter Anime Poll.
You know that thing going on with the voting and all. Having learned that a randomizer was involved, I think the poll selection wasn't entirely fair. I know there wasn't enough room for every series, but the selection seemed a little... off without certain well-known titles (*cough*Sailor*cough*Moon*cough*).
Now, I still encourage everyone to vote in the official polls. What I'm trying to do is make a list of favorite anime, as nominated by Otakuites. It would be more of a countdown than a poll, so as not to infringe on the official polls.
If you guys like this idea, I will amend this post with rules/how to nominate/other stuff. If there isn't much interest, I'll just scrap the idea. So, whacha think?
OK, we're gonna do this guys! Cue epic battle music.
I want this post to go viral. Er...
Da rules (read 'em 'cause you'll need 'em):
1. PM me with your 10 (for now-- I might ask for 10 more) favorite anime. 2. Nominations will be by PM ONLY. Comments with your 10 favorites will not be counted. 3. There does not have to be an order to your top 10. 4. Don't worry if you nominate the same series as someone else. That's actually a good thing because then that series will be ranked higher. 5. The length of the list depends on how many different anime are nominated. 6. The cutoff time is open-ended. I'll give a one-week warning before the polls close. 7. Series will be listed by "umbrella" names. That means, if a series has a sequel, reboot, or spinoff, they will be listed under the name of the original. 8. Please list the series by their English names, if they have been translated. You may disregard this if the official English title is the same as the Japanese. I only made this rule because I can't keep all the original Japanese names straight. If you want to include the original Japanese title, please do so in parentheses alongside the English title. If you're not sure what your favorite series is called in English, Anime News Network and Anime-Planet are good places to check. 9. I know that rules 7 and 8 have some "fuzziness" to them, so if you're unsure about something, feel free to let me know, and I'll do my best to clarify it for you.
Bonus AwesomePointz (TM):
1. Keep checking back. Things can change, so I'll post updates.
2. Promote this post! The more people who participate, the better. And I'll give you a present.
3. Have fun! (But you knew about that already.)
Update: We have our first submission! Keep 'em coming, guys. This also made me realize that I had to amend rule 8. To summarize, if the official English title is in the original Japanese, you don't have to translate it. I knew there would be some "fuzziness".
