Anime fan from Oregon on MTV's Made
« on: November 16, 2008, 05:58:29 pm »
Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this has been posted on here before, but apparently MTV showed an episode whose aim to turn the "geeky Anime fan" into a "sexy dating diva."

Pretty well made, straight from Oregon:

http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/258613/anime-warrior.jhtml#id=1591114

(It's divided into six clips).

Anyone know her? I'm sure she's been to Kumoricon or Sakuracon a few times

Enjoy.

I think someone mentioned it before, and my friend from school told me about it a couple of days ago.


Some of the stuff they put her through was kind of silly, but the transformation was good for her. As she said at the end, she can still like anime but also be seen as mature and confident, and that's a pretty important lesson a lot of people could do with, I think.

I liked her hats. :P

Luna, that was you? I had no idea! XD I don't watch MTV, but I'm relieved that you stuck with anime. I mean, it's your choice, but I'm still relieved, for whatever reason.

Is that why you still haven't come to an Anime Friday?  My wife and daughter actually took an interest in your MTV-Made special.  I still say, you remind me of my daughters best friend.  I thought about putting her pic here, but changed my mind.  :-\

It's a small world I suppose, but its fun knowing that someone from our own convention had the experience and was able to share

You know, you should consider running a panel for the 2009 convention to share about your experiences, answer questions, etc. How would you feel about that? I can help you get in touch with the right people for it if you'd like

Uwa~ That would be cool, but I don't know if I would be allowed to. I had to sign a contract with MTV, so I'm not sure if I would be allowed to speak about it without permission. It would probably depend on the questions and such.

You could always give them a call. If the episode's aired, I'm sure they'll be more lax on it. Leanne Marshall from Project Runway had a whole bunch of interviews after the final episode aired. My friend was on Wheel of Fortune, won, and couldn't talk about it for two months. Turns out he won a trip to Mexico! Had he talked, he would've lost all his winnings.

I'm guessing you'd be fine doing a panel, but a quick email or something would probably clear everything up.

Hmm, true. I could ask about it.
But what would I say if I had a panel? Lol XD

How about your experiences as an anime fan before the show, how it was handling schedules, crew, etc., and how you balance your post-life with your continuing love for anime?

You could talk about how you experienced what is largely considered a "normal" life (if you feel that), and any negativity you felt when confronting this with your "otaku" side. Also, what your future plans might be.

I don't know about other people, but when I was younger, I had a worry about my anime love and the "real" world and if I could balance the two or not. I remember thinking when I was 13, "Will I still like Sailor Moon when I'm 16?" and when I was 16, "Will I still like anime when I'm 21?" Other people might be having similar worries, and your experiences could provide comfort for that.

For the record, I'm 22 now ;)

That's some good stuff. I dunno if I could talk about the filming and crews tho... I am gonna go through the contract and see if there are any issues with me doing something like that.

It was a little odd at first, but I got used to it. You just have to ignore the camera.

Why were you anti-Jcluuub? Most of the time were just messed around anyways.
XD Did I really whack you?
My coach was sliiiiightly overwhelming. It took all I had to try to stand up to her.
