And now Flint enters the fray! This wasn't so much "paranormal" fear I felt during this ordeal, but rather "Oh crap, I'm going up the river" fear. Anyway, here goes.
I have this moron friend whose big into hentai. REAL big into hentai. He's the kind of guy who digs through those 18+ sections for "good stuff" at FYE or Best Buy, while you do your best to act like you don't know him. What I love best about him is he has absolutely no class or dignity, which I admire. I'm very much a stand-up, clean cut guy, so I wouldn't have the guts to dig around the porn aisle at an electronics store, let alone purchase hentai DVDs at said electronic store without putting a bag over my head.
I often go to my moron friend's apartment just to hang out. He has a LOT of anime, and video games out the ass, so there's never a loss of things to do while visiting him. One weekend, we're playing some old SNES games, when we hear a squad car drive by. We think nothing of it, and continue playing. By chance, I happen to look out the window, and see a policeman exit the car. I say out loud in a jovial voice, "Somebody's busted!"
My moron friend stops everything he's doing and looks out the window. Then he looks at me. "He's coming for me. I don't know why, but I think he's gonna search the apartment."
The first thing I'm thinking is, "Jesus, what did you do, you moron?! They'll think I'm his accomplice! I don't need a criminal record!" I contemplate jumping out the window, but we're three stories up. So, I ask him "What did you do?!"
"I don't know! I download a lot of warez and music! I'm pretty sure they caught me!" He answers.
I'm sweating bullets, then I remember something, and I start to feel sick. "Crap, you have all kinds of hentai! They'll think you're a pervert! They'll think I'M a pervert! They'll put us on a damn list! I don't even watch that crap!"
We're just staring at each other with these bulging eyes, then I look outside the window and see the cop heading up the stairs. "He's coming up!" I yell. My heart is racing at this point.
"Flush it!" He yells.
We run to his closet, and just start yanking DVD cases from his hentai stash. We start opening the cases, pulling out DVDs, snapping discs in half as fast as we can, then start throwing them in the toilet along with the ripped-up box art. Moron friend flushes once, and we watch part of his collection go down. "Is he here yet?!" I'm yelling at him. I'm almost in tears, I'm so scared. I was just worried about my future, I didn't need to go down for my moron friend's bad habits.
"Shut up and flush!" He yells. So we keep snapping, ripping and flushing, until finally, his whole collection broken and his toilet's stopped up. It was then that I kinda realized it had been awhile, and the cop hadn't showed. "Was he calling for backup?" I thought.
Moron friend looked out the window. He looks back at me with a relieved grin and says, "He's gone!"
I'm giving him this thousand-yard stare. Long moment of silence. Finally, we give out a worried chuckle. I shook his hand and left as fast as I could.
Needless to say, now when we hang out, we do it at my place.
Right after I finished Death Note, I thought I was Light reincarnated. I got away from actually believing it and living every day like him. And since I had to create his own gravesite in my mind, I'm pretty much haunted by these beliefs that got me thinking I'd play the part well of being a god. Scary but true.
So far throughout my life, I've avoided the encounters of weaboos in my daily life. One day I was watching anime on the school's computer and this peculiar girl came up and sat right beside. She started to spazz about how she loves anime, Japan(even though she's never been there) and how we should be best friends. I thought I was going to die.
Okay. So for everyone out there who has never read a yaoi manga/doujin/fanfic, let me give some advice before I start my story...
NOTHING, I REPEAT NOTHING, WILL PREPARE YOU FOR A WORLD FILLED WITH NAKED BISHI ANIME MEN. SERIOUSLY.
So it goes like this...
My friend is really into yaoi. I remember when she was 12 and was already looking at the Yaoi piles at anime conventions. Of course she couldn't legally buy any of it. Anyways, we go home, and she's talking on the computer to me. She asks me why I hate yaoi, since I'm a female and NO FEMALES should hate boyxboy love. After a while of pleading, she finally convinces me to look up some yaoi.
Please remember, I'm only 12 in this story. I think, "Oh geez, it can't be that bad. I've seen kissing before!" I type in "SasuNaru Doujinshi" in the Youtube search bar (since I couldn't think of any other pairings) and hit enter. I click the first doujinshi I see and read it.
Oh. My. Lord.
I was literally speechless after I had finished it. Not only did it show them having sex, but it seemed to like to zoom in on... urrrgghhh... you get the point.
To this day I'm still scarred. But once in a while I'll take a little peek at some more.
LOOK WHAT IT'S DONE TO ME!!!!
1) I was in the eighth grade, around when I first started watching other anime besides Sailor Moon and DBZ. A year previous I had watched my first episode of Inuyasha (not knowing what it was, and still being in the innocent, non-cursing/no nudity anime phase). This night I had been unable to sleep so I woke up at two and watched TV. Lo and behold, Inuyasha is on. I recognize the style and sit down to watch because I'm bored. The scary part, then, was that I jumped at every noise because I thought my mom and grandmother would wake up and find me, then yell at me for being up when I had school the next day.
2) By this time I have been converted into a yaoi fan (yes, the hardcore stuff) and I'm buying novels and reading fanfiction and whatnot. Like any smart teenager in a house full of people who are uncomfortable with homosexuality, I hide the books from view and erase any tracks I leave on the internet so they can't see what I read. Well, one day, I was reading Inuyasha fanfiction (Naraku/Sesshomaru, for those interested), and of course it was rated NC-17. Well, it was at the "interesting" part and I was way into reading it. Our computer was inconveniently placed, so I couldn't see anyone that might come up. Therefore, I never saw my brother (or heard him) and didn't know that he was standing behind me. Reading. Finding out what I like. I'm finally clued in when he says, "Ew, that's gross!" Note, he's one year younger than me, so I couldn't bluff even if I wanted to. So he threatens to tell our mother; I threaten to tell her things he had done. We come to a compromise. But him seeing that scared the life out of me.
So, a few years ago, my friend and I are watching the adult swim action block, and Inuyasha comes on [this was when new episodes were still being shown]. Well we are not really watching too intently...We started talking about something on a whole other tangent...but anyway, my friend looks up and goes "What in the world?!!!" and I look up too...
and it was Inuyasha baring his SHOULDER!
Now I know most of you are saying, "So..?" in your heads, but this was the episode where that female flea demon is controlling everyone to get at the main flea demon in the series...
Well when we saw this shoulder of Inuyasha's, and him coming on to Shippo...It was completely INGRAINED in our minds, so much so that now, every time we see someone's bare shoulder, or someone just says, "shoulder", our minds immediately put some wrong image in our heads..................and we burst out laughing for seemingly no reason.
And so the real horror story here; Innocence lost. Damn you, Inuyasha!
Alright, I think I'll go ahead and give it a shot here.
The year was 1999. I was eight and I had just discovered the magic of anime through Fox's now defunct yet previously awesome lineup. I lived for the weekend for one simple reason: Digimon.
You 90's children might remember it, and depending on how much TV you had access to, it was either the best thing ever or an uninteresting Pokemon ripoff. In my mind, it was the greatest show I had ever or would ever encounter. I'd daydream about it all week and every Saturday I'd be in front of the tube, sharper than a caffeinated prairie dog, ready to discover the further adventures of the Digidestined. Of course, that's not to say I never had my problems with it.
Being 8 at the time, I had some major issues with anything remotely frightening. As we all know, one thing you could never fault Digimon for was its villains. My most memorable encounter with these fellas was the Dark Master arc, namely Machinedramon. Picture, if you can, a ten foot tall mechanical tyrannosaur with a mouth resembling a particularly painful bear trap and a missile launcher. Now imagine being eight years old and watching this thing repeatedly thrash the people you look up to more than even your own parents. Factor in the fact that 8 year olds don't exactly have the greatest idea of reality vs. fiction and you can go ahead and guess how I felt about this fella.
One night, I got tired of my bed and decided to sleep on the couch. My parents allowed it, since I was young and it didn't happen all that often. They went to bed, and I decided to lie down for the evening.
Then I hear something breathing.
It wasn't just any kind of breathing, either. It was disturbingly steady. As if it were the function of a machine. It didn't take long at all for my mind to wander back to you-know-who, who, may I add, was barely defeated in-universe by one of the most powerful heroes on the show. Me without my own digimon, I was pretty certain I didn't have a chance. I spent half the night lying on the couch in a cold sweat, waiting for whatever- or whoever- it was to make its move.
Turns out it was just the refrigerator. Ain't that a kick in the head?

My scariest moment in anime?
Right after re-reading Gyo (if you don't know it, see a synopsis), randomly finding what I thought was a small, fake fish laying on the side of a planter at my college campus. After I picked it up out of curiosity I realized that it was a real (dead) fish. Just sitting on a planter staring up at me.

My friend Sara and I were going to our first convention. We were only about 13 or 14. Both my parents had to come with us. We had no clue what a convention was really like, only what we've read about or heard from our friends. We were walking towards the video games when we saw some guy dressed up as Card Captor Sakura comes running towards us saying that he loves our cosplay. Of course, my friend and I were being nice and thanking him and looking him in the eye. My parents had to blink a few times. Then they walked away. And yes, we were sure it was a guy because his pink frilly dress was a little......short. o_O And he had a VERY masculine body. It was not a pretty sight.
(And that is why my parents will never take me to a convention again! )
So.....I guess my scariest experience w/ anime was when I was like, 10. I googled 'anime girls', I can't even remember why now. You can imagine what came up. At this point, I din't even know what the heck a homosexual/etc was, and I was still in the 'naked is to be avoided at all costs' phase. So about 100 pictures of very detailed naked (anime) women, some doing things I still don't want to remember were permenantly seared into my little kid's psyche. Thankfully, I still watched anime after thsi, but I din't get back on the net for a while.....0___0
And then there was the night my mum and six year old brother wwathec the one epiode of InuYasha where Kikyo spends the whole time naked.......
Well....yeah.....the blood and gore don't scare me, and the monsters are cool...so this is worst thing I could've seen.
I was leant Sukisyo by my friend, and decided to finally sit down and watch it with my older sister. All I knew was that it was a pretty calmed shounen-ai, so i wasn't that paranoid about watching it in the living room. After about an hour of sitting and watching it, my mom walked in and sat down. I was screaming in my mind, hoping she'd kindof...leave... but asking her to leave would well... make her suspicious so i kept my mouth shut and hoped she believed the one person was a girl.
She did until it showed the two sleeping in the same bed and, startled, they jumped up. the fact the one guy covered his chest made me convinced mom thought they were all straight...until my sister screams "HAHAHA HE COVERS HIS CHEST LIKE A CHICK!"
so...mom knows im watching a gay anime now... It could be worse but I was paranoid of what she thought of me a bit. (I always took pride in my modesty in that area). Not much later. A sex scene. between two guys. it got really close to showing their junk and everything. she just...looked at me then looked back at the Tv and got up and walked away...
ahhh I can't say scary in the normal sence...but it really made my chest tighten up in fear of my moms reaction. She seemed to be more curious in what i was watching after that :.D
Though I don't want the prize, I'll give it a shot.
This was a couple weeks ago. My friend and I along with his parents were at the Delaware beaches. He had brought a couple of video games. Along with these games, he brough Dead Space: Downfall. Extremely hokey anime movie that showed the prologue to Dead Space. So during the the week, we waited until eleven and watched it. About that time, Hurricane Danny came zipping up the coast and caused torrential downpours. There was absolutely no way I was going to head outside in that. After the movie, I was a tiny bit shaken. I waited until my friend and his cousin (who came down for three days) went to bed. I activated my friend's Xbox and tossed in Fallout 3. I was in the Western area when I started hearing a hissing. I thought it was the cooling fan so I went back to gaming. Then the whisper started to sound like whispering. I started getting a bit edgy. I blocked it out and continued to game. It is 12:30 AM and I was near a radio tower. All of a sudden, I realized the hissing had words. It was Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star but it was the Dead Space version. I looked slightly to the left. I twisted my head and focused only to see a Deathclaw (scariest and most powerful monster in Fallout 3) towering over me. I gasped and did a full 360* only to see a crazed lunatic(my friend) standing over me weilding a knife screaming Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. I ran to the only place safe with sharp pointy objects. The kitchen. Out of nowhere, the cabinet holding the glass exploded with a sound like a gunshot. I ducked and waited for the lunatic to take me. But my friend just came running out to the kitchen, wondering if I okay. The static charge from the storm shattered the glass in the cabinet. That night shall forever be known as the triple-threat.

The Gluttony Fang (Otaku Eternal) | Posted 09/09/09 | Reply
My horror story revolves around an anime known as UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie. I was seventeen, such an innocent age, when this horrifying experience befell me. I was browsing the VOD service when I came across the aforementioned anime. Since I had some time to kill I thought "Why the hell not?" and foolishly clicked the play button. After the usual adds the introduction began to play. The intro song played and an image of a teenage boy and a little girl popped up. They we're both in separate halves of a broken heart. My first thoughts were along the lines of "Ok..." Then the next frame popped up and the halves were joined, the two characters extremely close to one another. At this point I was slightly dumbfounded and wondering what the hell I clicked play for. However, the worst had yet to come...
In the third frame the teenage boy and the little girl were kissing. My immediate reaction was to point at the TV and yell "Pedophilia! Pedophilia!! 0.0" However, this reaction of mine was halted by the fourth frame, in which the little girl spun around and transformed into a grown woman. As such, my reaction immediately changed into a cry of "What the fuck!? o.0"
... It was my first experience of the Magical Girl genre... And sure, after watching the first episode I learned that the girl was a grown woman all along. But still, it was pretty freaky for a newbie.

Okay, we were in the college anime club. We were watching Higurashi. It was at a violent part. All of a sudden, all the lights went off and so did the anime. Someone screamed. The power just went out for a little bit. Yeah...

Okay, so when I was new to anime some friend of mine gave me a link to an anime to watch. I clicked on it, really excited, after all moar anime woo hoo! However, it wasn't like that at all. The first five minutes into it I saw two guys shagging. . .that wouldn't have been so bad, but it was HARDCORE. Before then I had no idea what yaoi was. That .________.
And this was when I was around 12 or 13.

I was twelve and typed the name "Faye Valentine" into an image search engine. Being that I was still being weaned off Digimon and Dragonball Z at the time, I was not prepared for hentai at all. That doesn't even get into the mental scarring Reign: The Conqueror had that same year. Frankly, I'm surprised I still like anime at all after that sort of a welcome. >>'

All I knew was that it was a pretty calmed shounen-ai, so i wasn't that paranoid about watching it in the living room. After about an hour of sitting and watching it, my mom walked in and sat down. I was screaming in my mind, hoping she'd kindof...leave... but asking her to leave would well... make her suspicious so i kept my mouth shut and hoped she believed the one person was a girl.
She did until it showed the two sleeping in the same bed and, startled, they jumped up. the fact the one guy covered his chest made me convinced mom thought they were all straight...until my sister screams "HAHAHA HE COVERS HIS CHEST LIKE A CHICK!"
so...mom knows im watching a gay anime now... It could be worse but I was paranoid of what she thought of me a bit. (I always took pride in my modesty in that area). Not much later. A sex scene. between two guys. it got really close to showing their junk and everything. she just...looked at me then looked back at the Tv and got up and walked away...
ahhh I can't say scary in the normal sence...but it really made my chest tighten up in fear of my moms reaction. She seemed to be more curious in what i was watching after that :.D

Though I don't want the prize, I'll give it a shot.
This was a couple weeks ago. My friend and I along with his parents were at the Delaware beaches. He had brought a couple of video games. Along with these games, he brough Dead Space: Downfall. Extremely hokey anime movie that showed the prologue to Dead Space. So during the the week, we waited until eleven and watched it. About that time, Hurricane Danny came zipping up the coast and caused torrential downpours. There was absolutely no way I was going to head outside in that. After the movie, I was a tiny bit shaken. I waited until my friend and his cousin (who came down for three days) went to bed. I activated my friend's Xbox and tossed in Fallout 3. I was in the Western area when I started hearing a hissing. I thought it was the cooling fan so I went back to gaming. Then the whisper started to sound like whispering. I started getting a bit edgy. I blocked it out and continued to game. It is 12:30 AM and I was near a radio tower. All of a sudden, I realized the hissing had words. It was Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star but it was the Dead Space version. I looked slightly to the left. I twisted my head and focused only to see a Deathclaw (scariest and most powerful monster in Fallout 3) towering over me. I gasped and did a full 360* only to see a crazed lunatic(my friend) standing over me weilding a knife screaming Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. I ran to the only place safe with sharp pointy objects. The kitchen. Out of nowhere, the cabinet holding the glass exploded with a sound like a gunshot. I ducked and waited for the lunatic to take me. But my friend just came running out to the kitchen, wondering if I okay. The static charge from the storm shattered the glass in the cabinet. That night shall forever be known as the triple-threat.

My horror story revolves around an anime known as UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie. I was seventeen, such an innocent age, when this horrifying experience befell me. I was browsing the VOD service when I came across the aforementioned anime. Since I had some time to kill I thought "Why the hell not?" and foolishly clicked the play button. After the usual adds the introduction began to play. The intro song played and an image of a teenage boy and a little girl popped up. They we're both in separate halves of a broken heart. My first thoughts were along the lines of "Ok..." Then the next frame popped up and the halves were joined, the two characters extremely close to one another. At this point I was slightly dumbfounded and wondering what the hell I clicked play for. However, the worst had yet to come...
In the third frame the teenage boy and the little girl were kissing. My immediate reaction was to point at the TV and yell "Pedophilia! Pedophilia!! 0.0" However, this reaction of mine was halted by the fourth frame, in which the little girl spun around and transformed into a grown woman. As such, my reaction immediately changed into a cry of "What the fuck!? o.0"
... It was my first experience of the Magical Girl genre... And sure, after watching the first episode I learned that the girl was a grown woman all along. But still, it was pretty freaky for a newbie.

Okay, we were in the college anime club. We were watching Higurashi. It was at a violent part. All of a sudden, all the lights went off and so did the anime. Someone screamed. The power just went out for a little bit. Yeah...

Okay, so when I was new to anime some friend of mine gave me a link to an anime to watch. I clicked on it, really excited, after all moar anime woo hoo! However, it wasn't like that at all. The first five minutes into it I saw two guys shagging. . .that wouldn't have been so bad, but it was HARDCORE. Before then I had no idea what yaoi was. That .________.
And this was when I was around 12 or 13.

I was twelve and typed the name "Faye Valentine" into an image search engine. Being that I was still being weaned off Digimon and Dragonball Z at the time, I was not prepared for hentai at all. That doesn't even get into the mental scarring Reign: The Conqueror had that same year. Frankly, I'm surprised I still like anime at all after that sort of a welcome. >>'
Be true, be you and of course, be otaku.
