Hello, I am Jake.
I'm a business administration student specializing in accounting in a University of Applied Sciences. I would like to study psychology in a university, but I guess I'm taking a detour for now. Maybe later, after I graduate (which should happen at the end of 2013), as I still have plenty of time in my hands.
I like to ponder things, but sometimes my thoughts just won't leave me alone, even if I tried to get rid of them. When everything is fine with me, I usually worry about the others, like my family and friends and wonder how they are doing.
Japanese culture has always been around me in some form. As a child I used to watch series like Moomins and Around the World with Willy Fog, never realizing they were actually anime. I got familiar with anime when they started to air Pokémon on TV here in Finland in 1999. The first series I actually started to follow was Bleach in 2005. Ever since I have watched many different kind of anime. Some have been really good, but I have seen plenty of mediocre and bad series too.
Watching anime is one of my favorite pastimes. There are so many anime series and films I would like to see and my want to watch list just keeps growing steadily. I'm a bit of perfectionist/completionist, so I really don't like to drop series and leave them unfinished. If it turns out that the anime I just started watching isn't all that good, I just grit my teeth and try to endure to the end.
Other than watching anime, I like to play video games, listen to music, learn new things and dream the days away. I also have a passion for books, as I constantly have something to read. Of course I read manga too, but for some reason I don't like to read it online.
My favorite games are mostly platformers (e.g. Super Mario and Mega Man series) and Metroidvanias but I like puzzle games and RPGs as well. Currently, I don't own any consoles and I should get a better computer if I wanted to play any games from the past 10 years that aren't made in retro style.
I read mostly sci-fi, horror and fantasy books. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is still one of my all time favorites. I keep a record of everything I have read in an Excel document, even though there are plenty of sites in which one could keep a record of their readings. Unfortunately, none that I have discovered are as clean and easy to use as Anime-Planet is for anime and manga.
Come to think of it, I make a lot of lists about things in my life. I have a list for anime, books, films... Even for the things I would buy/do if I ever won the lottery. I guess they make me feel organized.

Alright, with the little short time I have, I have updated the blog post. You may read it if you like, but mind you I mostlikely misspelt something so be forwarned. I think it is better, seeing as I have written it in a more calmer state than when I had previously wrote it. It should explain more for the series now, and give explames of why they shouldn't buy.. but than again I could be wrong. As I stated to you, I am unfamilar with blogs so I tend to screw up with them. Also mind your manors. I don't appreciate some adult being a know it all, and acting rude.

I will not give you a thank you con, though I do believe neither of us care for it much either way. I will say thank you on pointing those mistakes out to me and I will fix them when I have time to do so.
I do not believe you ment to be rude, but I must say it rather sounded like you did. 'chuckles' But than again I would know all to well with sounding one way when your trying not to sound that way. I will tell you this.. I have little exprience with blog posting, so I am not too good with what goes about a blog.
Was I streaming links to the sites? No I was not. I am suggesting that they could be used, but I am not streaming links. So that comment was not necessary. Did this blog post have something to do with Kuroshitsuji? Yes it did. If I remember correctly I made some comments towards the series itself. I am not targetting it like an assassin out to destroy it. I have no idea where you go that from. I am simply stating on ways to save people from wasting there money on something that isn't worth it. Kuroshitsuji is a loveable series, and my most favorite out of all so far. But do people really need to waste money over 50 dollars, just to buy a bad dubbing so you'd get the subs as well. 'shakes head' It's stupid really.
Basically, your comments other than the criticism were not necessary. I thank you again for the criticism and I'll try to fix it when I can.

Hey, just to let you know, I've been through and have added a whole heap of new One Piece characters, so if you come across any other filler characters who you want to hate lol, they should hopefully be there now :D
