J's Chimes: Between Anime & Girls

By Djenar Siti

It's seriously hard to find girls who love anime at my age too. It seems like anime appeals more towards the much younger generation girls whose birth dates are from 1987~ and above. Girls who are in middle or high school were exposed more to the anime culture and stuff as seen increasingly so in Singapore with more cosplay events, anime conventions and stuff. Even mangas like Bleach also caught some girls attention. However even if there girls who like anime, they are usually been already targeted by 'smart' people and become girlfriend and boyfriend... So we guys do not have the chance now... So how many 'anime' girls ya know of? I could bet with you that it will not be more than 5...
