About YAAOG!

Welcome, fellow readers!

As you sure imagined, this is an Anime and Manga blog. Mostly an Anime blog. And as you also imagined, it's written by a lady.
If you're here, it's probably because the blog's title attracted your attention. And why did it attract your attention? Because it's about Anime! That will make me guess that you like anime. Am I right?

But anyway!

I opened this blog with the purpose of writing about anime and manga from the point of view of a girl. Although, I must admit, not from a 'typical' girl, for I am no ordinary girl. It is written from the point of view of a female anime and fantasy freak who loves art, internet, literature and computers, and that is also a tree hugger and a cat addict. Yup! That's me!

My reasons for opening this blog are several. First of all, I always wanted to have a blog in which I could talk exclusively about anime and manga, and express my great addic- erm, love for this wonderful style and genre of art that began in Japan.
Another reason is to educate people about what truly is anime and leave all the stereotypes apart. So many people misjudge anime and the people who watch it, and I hope that, with this blog, I can help them understand how wrong they are. Perhaps then they will begin to appreciate the genre, and even love it!
Two of the main stereotypes I want to get rid of the most, as you imagine, are the "Anime is just for boys!" and the "Anime is equal to cartoon pornography!" Definitely NOT TRUE. There is anime for ALL AGES AND GENDERS, and all types of people as well. This is a great misunderstanding I wish to clarify.

You probably wish to learn a bit more about me, as I am the author of this blog, so next time I post, I'll introduce myself and narrate my story as "anime otaku girl", how I became one, and what I like most about anime and manga.

I will also be changing the look of this blog and adding many new features... such as polls, featured anime scene, featured anime character, useful links, and more! So please keep coming, okay? Meanwhile, you can take a look at the other anime blogs in the "Anime Blogroll" menu to the right, and have fun!

Until then, see ya!

Sincrely,
Jessica M. Vázquez, AKA Arwym Starlight
