Here's my shot at this. A little thing about a certain genre we all know and love. Without further ado...
ANIME MANIAC
Sometimes I lie awake in bed,
Obsessing on this cartoon style.
To reach this comic technique’s home,
I’d have to walk a while.
It comes from a far away land,
Where people write from up to down.
They read their pages right to left,
It seems all turned around.
But all I see’s the awesome art,
From that land of Japan,
And recently I’ve been obsessed,
More than all who I know can.
I can’t get it out of my head,
I have so many dreams,
Of being all the characters,
From each assorted theme.
I travel beside Pikachu,
‘Just “Gotta Catch ‘Em All”,
I fight the Red Ribbon Army,
And find the Dragonballs.
My name is Yusuke, gangster kid,
Killing demons is my job,
My name is Spencer, fear my pig,
No ordinary hog.
I am a pilot, bold and brave,
Flying a Gundam through the sky,
Weirdly, In Ranma, I’m a girl,
When I should really be a guy.
“Hi! I’m Yugi! I’m possesed,”
By the Egyptian god of games,
Operating each and every Zoid,
Many models, many names.
I’m a Super Saiyan, great and strong,
Saving the the galaxy,
I’m a Shinobi, swift and lethal,
DO NOT MESS WITH ME.
Speed Racer, tearing up the track,
Reach the speed of sound,
The name’s Tenchi, my world is filled
With space chicks all around.
I am a wandering ex-Botosai,
A man-slayer renewed,
Saving the digital world,
I’m a digi-destined dude.
All the cutesy little critters,
Hamtaro, Sunny, Pikachu,
They all are pouring through my mind,
Though, yet, I want them to.
I thrive in all the styling,
I dream of all the massive eyes,
Noses minute, yet still have nostrils,
Short-skirt girls and black-haired guys.
Even though here in the USA,
It tends to be dubbed down,
If there were a cartoon coolness contest,
I’d give anime the crown.
Now I ponder my obsession,
Healthy? Probably not.
But I just can’t seem to give up
What other styles just don’t got.
As I sit cross-legged on the floor,
I contemplate my craze,
Will I ever think of something else?
I see no other ways.
I am an anime Maniac,
I take it in with glee,
But am I just fond of anime,
Or does anime control me?
Well, whadd'ya think?
Honestly.
