Being an introvert person in nature, I was usually not the type that would casually initiate a conversation between people, specially when interacting with strangers unless, it relates on my job as my livelihood relies on that. But if by some twist of fate, I was suddenly gets abducted for some reason and there was nothing I can do aside from talking, I might be able to spend the entire time talking to the kidnappers about Anime and Manga until they get irritated and decided to throw me out of the car.
2015: Good Old days when I can still go to cosplay conventions and take pictures with Cosplayers.
As people would probably know by now, watching Anime and reading Manga were some of the hobby that I enjoy with the little time free that I have left after a day of work. Nowadays, I am not as heavy on watching Anime but, I was still able to watch 50% of the Anime that was released every year. For the Spring season alone, I was already watching 30 different series and this will probably increase as new Anime series will be released for the upcoming days. What I was really into now was reading Manga where if a completed Anime was something that I like, I would continue reading them in Manga and there were also times that I would just start reading some random manga and will continue to read them if I happen to like it. In fact, I have already read the Manga for some of the new Anime release this season which were:
Among this series, I have even go an extra mile for Reincarnated as a Slime and Jobless Reincarnation since I have even extend my reading through its web novel version which are already completed so not only did I know how this Anime will end their current series, I even know the following events that will took place after the Anime all the way to its end because both series have already finish its web novel. Even so, I still keep of watching them since having to watch the characters moving gives an entirely different experience compared to just reading them.
Others might say its inefficient and a waste of time but I can't help it. I like what I like and I like watching Anime and reading Manga so for the stuff that I can easily talk non-stop, they would be the obvious choice. I mean, just look how long this post already is and I haven't talked about any Anime yet so the patience of kidnappers would really be tested when I talk about Anime.
Spoilers: The Final Straw
As I was not only watching Anime but also reading the Manga, it was clear that I have more knowledge than those that just watch Anime and there was even people that I know both offline and online that only watch Anime so if it happens that the Kidnappers were the "Anime only" type of people, hearing spoilers from me would ruin the experience for them just like how people does not want to know the events that took place on the movie that they are going to watch. Like for example, our local T.V. network has only televised One Piece up to the Dressrosa Arc which ends at episode 746 while the latest episode was already at 1100 which tackles the Egghead Arc. If the kidnappers only watched what our local T.V. network have shown, there will be 354 episodes worth of One Piece that I will spoil to them which will take really long time to tell everything even when I summarized the story.
By the way this weeks episode One Piece was great, comes with an epic rematch between Strawhat Luffy on his Gear 5: Sun God Nika and Rob Lucci on his Leopard awakened form. Oh I'm sorry. I should have placed Spoiler alert before writing that.
So by talking about Anime and Manga, I can say that I will be able to talk a lot, enough to make any kidnappers to regret their decision of abducting me and force them to throw me in the car, or maybe, they can sealed my mouth so I can't talk. This was just a "What if" scenario and I hope that this doesn't happen to anyone but in case that it happen, my advice is not to do anything that would agitate the kidnappers because it could endanger your life.
