This week we have a sexy Tuesday geek girls guide (GGG)! This time, I’m going to talk about BattleStar Galactica (BSG). This is one of the best shows that I’ve ever seen. I binge watched it in record time, and I was pretty sad when I arrived at the feared end. Cylons are sexy, Starbuck is a girl, and Baltar is damn hot. However, there is another BSG that began it all: it’s cheesy, Starbuck came from the A-team, Cylons are pretty dull, and Baltar is… well… Baltar is Baltar. And yes, you guessed it! I saw all the episodes. So, let me introduce you to one of the most amazing shows ever, and one of the most fraked fandoms on planet Earth. Remember my words: all of this has happened before and will happen again.

It’s Tuesday geek girls guide (GGG)! This time, I’m going to talk about Otaku. Yay! We’re entering the realm of all things Japanese (anime and manga). But first, we have to talk about the word “otaku.” It is a negative word in Japan. “Otaku nerds” are people who don’t go out so much, and are really obsessed about anime and manga. Obsessed to extremes. However, in the West, otaku just refers to people who are fans of anime and manga mainly. So, we’re going to use the positive western take of this word and talk about all things Japanese related to anime and manga, and some others that are considered so in Japan. Since I was living in Tokyo for eight years, what I consider to be otaku might not be exactly what is considered to be an otaku in the West. So, please, take that in mind when reading this geek guide.
