"Plot grows out of character. If you focus on who the people in your story are, if you sit and write about two people you know and are getting to know day by day, something is bound to happen."
---Anne Lamott, bird by bird
Oh hi. So. How are you holding up? Because I'M a POTATO. You've come to my profile for some reason.
Don't get scared away just because I have so many anime marked at won't watch-- I'm open to any opinion you may have as long as you have a good reason behind it (typing with correct grammar and spelling also helps). If you nearly fell out of your seat because I marked one of your favorites as won't watch, and you must change that immediately, I won't discourage you at all. I typically don't watch stuff full of gore, though. I'm ok with a little ecchi as long as it isn't the focus of the series.
Putting that aside, my favorite genres are slice-of-life, romance, drama, and supernatural. My first anime was Cardcaptor Sakura. I started in 8th grade, and I haven't stopped since then. I love anime that makes me question life or cry, and I appreciate a crisp, bright style of animation.
I've been getting back into manga lately. I go to Half-Price Books sometimes and just read from their section. I like physically holding the books, so I prefer owning volumes instead of reading online. If I don't find it at a used bookstore, though, I'll read it on one of the many manga sites.
I also like games. Feel free to add me on steam (Bramblestar427), just tell me who you are in advance. I'm a fan of the Kingdom Hearts series (but I only have a computer and a DS, so I've never played the main titles). Here's my backloggery: backloggery.com/bramblestar (pretty pitiful, I know. It'll get better.) Vocaloids are pretty cool as well. :3
I've never taken Japanese in school, so I only know a few words. I personally think this is a blessing because schools don't teach foregin langauges very well-- they should be learned based on immersion, not conjugating verbs. Who conjugates verbs in their daily speech? I only know what certain moods (like the subjunctive) mean because I study that kind of thing in my spare time. Sometimes a random Japanese word will pop up in my head, and I'll think I've made it up. Later I'll find out that it's not only a real word, but it means exactly what I think it means! That's what anime can do. :)
I'm going to be an English teacher later in life. If you need help with something, comment, and I'll see what I can do. :D
I also write stories. Tell me if you'd like to read some, and I'll tell you what I'm working on.

Why hello there! I want to start of by saying, you have a great bio. Also I noticed you do have a huge wont watch list. There are a few shows i saw on their, that i personally really enjoyed. I know people have different tastes in what they like to watch, but some of them were surprising to me. Gurren lagann. Is there any specific reason why you have it marked as wont watch? At the moment is is my favorite anime of all time. It has an amazing story, and wonderful characters. It also, in my opinion, has some great life lessons in it too. You can say watching the show made me a more confident person. Well anyway, sorry this is kind of long.

Haha truth be told my grammer has never been good, i suppose i made a mistake there though, i actually hated english classes so much throughout school but when i left (like a year later) i really got into reading more often and took up likings to poems, i always hate myself from not likeing it more in school :(
i actually marked alot of anime as wont watch when i first joined anime planet, due to tags but i relised some arnt well tagged and even when they are they still can be some great shows ^^
Would you reccomend Kino's journey? i havent seen it yet but i really do like the impactufl series espically when they are very deep. My favorite, i wouldnt know probberly just stick with Mahou Shoujo from my profile but honestly i got far to many favorites, just about anything which either makes you think, has some tragic twists, is deep and emotional, make you think about life (good for reflecting) or just have a large impact on me, anything like any of them are usually really great:D
Madoka
Well i wish you luck in your career choice :) i do applogise if my grammer or spelling ain't so 'good' i generally send all these responses round 2-3 sometimes 4 am (like now its 3am xD) so i sometime's (or always) make lots of mistake's.
haha still working on your 'wont watch' list :P whats your favorite series you seen so far? :D
Konnichiwa!
Its been awhile lol
I see on your steam that you have Sanctum! How is it? I want to play that!!
Ruroni Keishin is a good one. I haven't seen the anime but I love the manga from what I've read. May I request you take it off your won't watch list? I do think you'd like it if you watched it.
We've got a project in english where we need to read several news articles about a major conflict from both perspectives of the event. Then present to the class what we found out from the article. I'm a slow reader so it took the whole class period to read 3/4 of one big article. But I'm worried I won't be able to find different articles about the same conflict from different perspectives.
