Yet another bio update. These things go out of date so quickly, or I'm getting old and beginning to understand why adults always complained about time moving too fast back when I was a nipper.
I'm currently working as a part-time cleaner to pay the bills, and more importantly buy more delicious vinyl records (for my favourite musical artists see here), whilst working at setting up my own business. I'm also a member of an experimental post-rock/electronica band Ghosts Wear Clothes which released an album, Threads, in the Spring of 2012.
Aside from anime, where my tastes range from cloyingly sentimental romances like Clannad to bleak, depressing arty shit like Monster, these are some of my favourite:
Books
Manufacturing Consent (N. Comsky and E. Herman), Beyond Chutzpah (N. Finkelstein), Gulag (A. Applebaum), A Song of Ice and Fire (GRR Martin), Lord of the Rings (JRR Tolkien), Frankenstein (Shelley), Harry Potter (JK Rowling) Testament of Youth (V. Brittain), Prince of Nothing (R.S. Bakker), Gentleman Bastards (S. Lynch), Gaunts Ghosts (D. Abnett), Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution (P. Kropotkin), My Disillusionment in Russia (E. Goldman), It (S. King)
Films
28 Days Later, A Very Long Engagement, Bladerunner, The Descent, Downfall, Four Lions, Gettysburg, Ladybird, Ladybird, Lord of the Rings, The Orphanage, Threads, Tokyo Sonata

total episodes: 5,012
total anime ratings: 399
total manga ratings: 12
Cowboy Bebop, Monster, and Elfen Lied are all top 5 series for me as well. I tend to go for the mature, darker, somewhat psychologically twisted shows as well.
Read the Death Note manga but pretty much gave up after a certain main character "goes away". For me it became too redundant. I've heard the anime is pretty faithful to the manga so I don't think I'm going to watch it.
Thanks!
Thanks for the greeting
You've got good tasts in anime as well
Azumanga Daioh is absolutely Hysterical
Your message kinda got cut off halfway through, but nice that you replied anyway. I'll get back to fantasy at some point, when the current generation of bigshot writers have gone and the genre has had time to refresh itself somewhat. At the moment I'm having a lot of fun reading other genres. But yeah, hope to see you in the Forums. :)
