Hello, I just graduated with my BS in Biology. I'm also Chinese American, and I have been watching anime ever since junior year of high school. I think that's 5-6 years ago. I want to go into a science graduate school, hopefully in Neuroscience, because I love Neuroscience. Just understanding behavior is so awesome in my opinion. I haven't read many manga to completion, but I'm still wanting to get into it. This is because I know there's a lot of amazing manga series that I haven't read yet. I've seen most of the "masterpiece" anime series, I know I'm missing quite a few but with manga there's even more. I got into anime one day when my cousin, this is the same cousin I'll be talking about later, introduced me to Ranma 1/2. He was like it's a funny show and said I should see it. So yeah once I watched like a few episodes, I LOVED it. So I asked to borrow the first season and after watching that I read a lot of the manga from the library. Sadly I never finished the series, but I got pretty deep into the manga. It's funny because, my cousin, doesn't watch much anime at all and he's the one who introduced me to it.

My other hobby is video games. I've been playing video games ever since I can remember. I first started playing on my cousin's Atari, I later played on his Sega Genesis. My first gaming system/handheld was a Gameboy. I didn't have many games for it though. My first console was a Playstation 1, and I absolutely loved it. I didn't get into my favorite video gaming genre until pretty late into my gaming life though. Well my favorite video game genre is RPGs, I play a lot more JRPGs though. (RPGs = Role playing games and JRPGs = Japanese role playing games) The game that got me into JRPGs was of course Final Fantasy VII though! It's not my favorite game or even Final Fantasy, which can be a shocker to a lot of people though, lol. My favorite is Final Fantasy VIII, because I really like romances that hook me. Ever since then I've played a ton of JRPGs from niche titles like Odin Sphere and the Shin Megami Tensei series with its spinoffs to the more famous ones like Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy series. I got into western RPGs from playing The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, which is still my favorite PC game. I haven't played many PC games though, I'm pretty much a console and handheld gamer.

As for anime, I'm more into romance shows that hook me. I'm a sucker for romances that I like, of course there are some romances that I thought was terrible like for example Fushigi Yuugi. Argh, that anime, I was hoping it would be like The Twelve Kingdoms with a good romance, but it really wasn't. Anyway I also love thought provoking anime with some philosophical or psychological themes. Kinda like Haibane Renmei, Now and Then, Here and There, Code Geass, The Twelve Kingdoms, and Monster. I also love fantasy because as you should know already I love RPGs.
