Microbio + Anime

No, this is not a review on Moyashimon. I haven't finished microbiology yet so I'm not finishing Moyashimon until I finish that class.

ANYWAY because studying is so much fun, I decided to relate a bunch of microbiology to animelike things.


Anime Respiration

There are five classifications that Otakuisms fall into when classifying Anime Respiration. It is important to keep note of them in the case you would wish to cultivate any, by any chance.

Obligate Aniobe: These cultures must watch the most popular anime series and must always be given the top overwatched anime or else will perish. Examples are those who watch Naruto and Bleach.
Obligate Ananiobe: These otakuisms cannot stand the sight of immensely popular series. Instead, they stay far away on the bottom, only watching series that have never been heard of and never will be heard of. Any exposure to a popular anime series will result in a mass of flames and death of the otakuism.
Facultative Ananiobe: These otakuisms can tolerate a variety of anime series, but thrive best on the popular ones. They do not mind watching series less popular, but surely the more popular series are popular for a reason, right?
Microaniphile: These otakuisms dislike a strongly popular series, but still require the series to be somewhat popular for them to watch. Examples of this are those who dislike bleach or naruto but would go after something like Haruhi or any Key anime, which are fairly popular in Japan. However, none of these series have been overhyped, hence, a lower exposure of popular anime series.
Anitolerant: These otakuisms will watch anything, whether it's popular or not. They don't care if it's on the top of the list or on the bottom of the list, as long as there's something to watch.


Judging from these classifications, I would most likely classify an otakuism like me either Anitolerant or Obligate ananiobe. Probably more Anitolerant.

Have you ever noticed that in some anime when a person becomes "healed" or while "healing" a wound, the wound or the healing hand will usually glow a glowing color? From reading my microbiology textbook, I think I can attribute this to a bacteria that produces a natural antibiotic. Apparently during the civil war, sometimes a soldier's wound would appear to glow in the dark and this was attributed to the soldier's wound as healing; in actuality, there is a luminescent bacterium known as Photorhabdus luminescens which produces a glowing light as well as an antibiotic which prevents infectious bacteria from taking advantage of the wound. So, whenever the next time you see a priest using "Heal!", think of the Photorhabdus luminescens!!!
