The first anime I ever watched was Sailor Moon. It goes without saying that there was a distinct difference between this Japanese animation and the North American cartoons I was used to watching. At the age I started watching it though, I did not yet know it was anime, much less from Japan. It was only with my encounter with Inuyasha that I first realized the contrasting appeal of anime.

Today, I am an avid fan and frequently looking for something new and exciting to grasp my interest. Not only is anime entertaining but throughout the years I have come to learn a lot from the original, un-dubbed versions; the interesting and different aspects of Japanese culture and a few phrases here and there.

I'm very grateful for all the hard work that must go into creating and producing these wonderful stories and heartily support their continuing popularity! ^.^
