Anime and EECS: a good combination?

[Taiwanimation]

To clarify, EECS (pronounced eeks) stands for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Recently the CS part has become more dominant, thus creating the image of the EECS student that never sleeps, programming for days non-stop. The other side, the student in the EE lab, doesn't seem to get much notice.

For reasons I do not fully understand, EECS majors are often addicted to anything and everything Japanese, and is threatening to devour the Japanese department. You walk into a Japanese class here and you'd think you entered a computer science class. Aside from that they have a very interesting culture of their own which I am thankful not to be part of.

So, I've started planning on a one-shot project (about 20 pages max) titled "EECS Nation" that combines epic anime with the EECS culture. May have a few sketches up soon. Your comments?

Hehe, it's definately true. Back in my old anime club, someone asked everyone who was a CS major to raise their hand. Everyone but 4 people raised their hands.

I'd like to see a comic about that, somehow.

hehe, i have a few cs units... going into the cs labs are hilarious ^_^
almost everyone has an anime desktop.... and they're almost all skantily clad girls or panty shots -_-;

cept mine. i have/had [depending if they've deleted all user accounts] a cool vash one that i made myself

my theory is almost all cs majors are internet geeks, who don't have much contact with the outside world, let alone the female world. they compensate by watching shoujo, hentai, ecci... and get addicted to everything japanese from there.

and that "interesting culture" consists of lans, and the anime screenings that various university anime clubs hold.

everyone says that it's their fave so far.... so EECS sounds like a good idea [cause it's kinda similar]

not olny do I have a CIS Programmer/Analyst degree and am working toward a CIS Networking Specialist degree, but, if it wasn't for e-bay helping me sell things, I would have well over $1,000 worth of anime DVD's alone (not counting all my other anime crap)

GEEKS! ALL of 'EM! If you are gonna do one please get someone to tell them they are geeks who want Japanese girlfriends!

This is gonna be fun...

The following are some of the elements I'm planning to include.

Giant robots
Futuristic urban setting
Magical girls
Excessive gratuitous use of kanji (as I do not know the hiragana or katakana)
13375|>34|<
Hacking
Talking computers

I myself actually came dangerously close to going down the road of EECS but fortunately I could draw buildings very well, so instead I'm in architecture, which aint a whole lot easier.

I'm a EECS, precisely CS, but our faculty is leaned toward electronics, so we learn more EE either way.
Here anime culture didn't let the roots out, so of all the people I know, I'm the one that likes anime the most. Ant I'm rather undecided about it. Don't hate it, but don't love it very much either.
On my faculty, guys are... well, part of them is shy, they do their business, they are ok mostly. The other part is loudmouth people who claim to know everything about computers, but strangely don't get too good grades to support that. But they can be ok too.
Girls in our faculty are... minority.

Oh, and I voted yes which I thing egaled yes and no option. But Pat ol' buddy still leads.

Pat Buchanan!

Wait... no...

I'm confused.

I have a CS degree, but hell if I know what my classmates' interests were. I'd read it if you made a few.
