With a certain age group, you'd be surprised.

Can't wait to see how this gives all anime fans a bad rep.

I secretly hope ANN posts an interest article when it actually airs because I can't help but want to see it. I have plenty of free time right now so I'm willing to sacrifice an hour of my life Laughing

I don't foresee it ending well for the people involved though . . .

MTV seems to foolishly think they're still a "hip thing" despite the 90s ended a long time ago.

Not that it matters to them, anyway. To MTV, anime shows are just another opportunity for them to make a quick buck. They don't care if the people on and off camera end up getting emotionally hurt in the process.

Same with "Heroes of Cosplay" on Syfy.

They should ask the Europeans: Laughing






BTW, this isn't the first time on MTV:

animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-09-05/mtv-looks-to-cast-anime-fans-for-true-life-episode

And cosplayer YuffieBunny on Room Raiders and Ultimate Video Game Countdown.

I don't like this one bit this gonna make us the anime fan look like weeaboo. I mean i like anime and all I never try to go as far to look like one. I swear this gonna give anime fan a bad name.


Can't deny i see it this way. Whilst to some we already have a bad name, that has never bothered me, just a matter of they say blue and i say yellow.
I do have issues with how it creates the image of fans all being like weebs, which really isn't fair because that does embarrass people, MTV though... I am certain no one watches that crap Smile

12 year-old girls don't watch it anymore? I know they're the damn reason why we don't get more Beavis and Butt-head.


That was the only reason why I watched that channel way back when. These days, though, it's all available online, so there isn't any need for it.

Seriously stay the heck away from this.

Even if you're relatively normal by conventional standards, they are going to look passed you and go for the weirdest type of people they can find. Or they'll hire people who aren't even anime fans but has some kind of acting background.
