I dont think manga and anime are so popular in Pakistan that people would watch them to be able to fit in with the crowd, but thats based on my own experience. I liked Gundam, but never really got too much into it, the various Gundams just seemed too similar to me. I havent been able to watch much ...

Haha Gundam is like a childhood thing for me so maybe that's why I like it so much. Well yeah there aren't too many people but the big 3 are like something quite a few people I've met know about. Yeah I find time to follow the manga I like too no matter how busy I am. I use this site mainly because of the reading list stuff.

Wouldn't call myself an otaku, don't even read much manga anymore, sometimes scanlate only. I live in Pakistan and I sincerely hope I don't know you...

I've been using Otaku here to define a manga and anime fan, for lack of a better term. So yeah if you read manga and watch anime then you qualify as one, atleast according to the scope of this thread.
How do you scanlate? I'm really curious, do you have access to raws and stuff?
And as far as knowing you is concerned, the only Hira I ever knew was my DBMS professor, so unless you teach in a uni, you're good.

I've been on this website for many years but am not an active part of the community, I mostly just come here to read recommendation threads, keep track of what I'm reading, and see which series I don't read are on the rise. In real life, I really only know about three people that I have a good friendship with that read manga, watch anime, or take part in both. I personally read shounen and seinen only really.

Same here, this is actually the first thread I have started, and even before this I mostly just popped in to give a recommendation or answer an "I'm looking for" question. Mostly just read seinen and shonen too, though I find shonen to be very predictable these days, and did really like a few shoujo too.

Hmm, it is indeed interesting to see people here that from "desi" (idk), never really thought how much anime and manga scene expanded all the way there lol. I just noticed that a couple of you guys use the word "uni" for university; I thought only Aussies (Australians) use that lol. Just saying of course... btw I'm not desi, just an Australian-Filipino biggrin

Desi here just refers to people from India and Pakistan mostly, and most of the people I know do use the word "Uni" so I guess its fairly popular. An Australian-Filipino sounds cool, maybe its because my neighbours are Filipino lol.

Still nice to meet all of you, And its good to see people from Pakistan replying on this thread too .

Am an admin at Evil Flowers currently, used to be an admin at Project: NOIR. We have scanners that provide the raws or buy them with donations, if they are not available online. So yeah, access is pretty easy as long as someone you know has the means.

Oh good, definitely don't know you then. laugh
