NUNNELLY, TN — Myles Thompson, a 27-year-old systems analyst, has become the center of attention in his local anime community as of late after he reportedly referred to the popular shounen action franchise My Hero Academia as “Boku no Hero Academia“.
Thompson’s friends were initially awed by the casual usage of the un-localized title in reference to Studio Dentsu’s hit anime sensation.
“I know Myles was really into anime, but for him to pull out the original Japanese title like that was pretty shocking,” eyewitness Justin Garnette, 28, told Anime Maru. “His knowledge of anime and fandom is just on another level.”
Reports indicate that those present were astonished at Thompson’s rejection of the “plebeian and bastardized” localized title, instead demonstrating his familiarity with Japanese pop culture by using the authentic and true title. Thompson then continued his dazzling display of proficiency by criticizing the anime and claiming the manga is better. Thompson did not respond when our correspondent asked him who was the author of the original Boku no Hero Academia manga.
“That’s Myles for you,” Garnette commented after Thompson referred to a voice actress as a “seiyuu”. “He is a true otaku.”
At press time, Thompson implored his friends to watch one of his favorite shows: Ken no Bijutsu Onrine.
It’s “of late”, not “as of late”
It’s not, you retard
You can use both, fucktards.
I love Ken no Bijutsu Online, it’s one of my favourites.
I dont know why they’re making such a big deal about this. Plenty of people use the japanese name when reffering to anime. Plus he says that the manga is better, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER MANGA READER!!! We all need articles written about us.
Hahahahaha thank you. The attack on titan fandom drives me crazy with this.
This is such a non-story. Lots of us anime fans know the English and Japanese titles.
This is the dumbest article I’ve ever read if they want to start running around going crazy then I’ll start using the Japanese names for all animes. Now I’m gonna go watch some season 2 of Shingeki no Kyojin! Piss off with this stupid crap
This is pretty stupid
So is this like an anime version of the Onion or are you just really bad at finding news?
This retard-filled comment section is proof enough how bad the anime “community” is; it’s a joke article, you high horse riding morons.
I’m more of a low horse riding idiot, thank you very much.
Someday I hope to be as smart and cool as Myles. I was blown away when he used the proper title Kobayashi-san Chi No Maid Dragon.
