Hi,
My anime odyssey began May 2008. Friend of mine gave me a few eps of Elfen Lied. I din't know it back then, but now I know he was giving me a drug. So now I am hooked thanks to my friend. ^^ I love anime for beautiful stories, originality and emotions. Western movies and shows are a bit dull these days, but still I do enjoy some classics (mainly hong kong action movies - Jackie! , good sci-fi - Space Odyssey). Anime has replaced modern live action movies for me and I am glad it has.
I still consider books to be the best medium for telling a story. I am a bit sad about the young generation who generally doesn't know what a good book has to offer. SF & F is my genre of choice (Asimov, Sapkowski, Card, Herbert etc.), but I enjoy a book of any genre if it is good (Murakami etc.). I especially like classics written or translated to old English and Nordic sagas and poetry (viking mythology, yay!). Plus occasional haiku (Basho, Santoka, Issa).
I love music. There are quite a few anime OSTs I have in my collection, Yoko Kanno and Yuki Kajiura being my favourite composers. Sakamoto Ryuichi is my non-anime choice (Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence). I hate confining myself to one genre, but most of the bands I listen to play metal (to name a few : Blind Guardian, Sabaton, Amon Amarth...). I still think that a live performance of Bard's Song by Blind Guardian (check it on youtube) is the ultimate musical experience ^^.
As for the anime, I can watch pretty much anything, only ecchi isn't on the top of my list. I love philosophical stuff and good action shows. My rating system is a bit askew, 3 stars means a show I have enjoyed. I have done this in order to distinguish between the very best (4 and 5 stars). If you have any recs, I would love to hear them!
どうぞよろしくおねがいします。

Hey there!
Thanks, ill study hard again when those uni intrance ones come along (... T.T) lol
Hey, btw, i see from your bio you're 20, so im assuming you're in uni. What degree/qualification are you doing again? (im terrbily sorry, but im SURE you've told me before but seriously - i cant remember. Sorry!! ^.^)
Oh seriously!? Is A-P gonna start some "club" function? Coz i heard from someone else on here, to go vote in the forums to support the starting of a Juuden-chan cult. lol. Im guessing that has some slight relevance to the new clubs that are being formed?? ^^
Definitely need to make one for OSTs XD
Cool about TTGL - lemme know how you like it when you're done/seen more. (remember, i got LOTS of good free time for at least about 3 weeks, XD)
OH btw, i just started watching Bakemonogatari today/tonight/right now actually (lol)
Its quite interesting. Kinda slow paced, but nice in a diff sorta way. Have you heard of it? i know its not on your watching list.
Oh and i saw that you're watching Serial Experiments Lain! My mate has recommended this to me so many times - what's your perspective on it? Mint or lint? (lol ^^) And hows the gory factor in it? I know its a real mindfuck and i like those too, but id prefer not too much gore coz thats not mindfuck, just eyefuck imo... :)
Well, gonna watch some more Bakemonogatari and then bed (still got school tomorrow AND next week - what the heck!!! we've already done the school exams!!! XS)
CyA~~!

Hey my friend, and no im not dead yet - im back!! XD
Yeah, i just finished my exams which ive been prep-ing alot for during the past month, hence i didnt have time to be on the internet or watch anime T.T
But yeah, im done now (for now) and so - here i am!!! XD
Yeah, i wrote a lil blog about it so if you got some random free time you could go take at look ^^
So yeah, hows life been with you? The last time i remember us talking about was uni life but i dont remember what we concluded. Lol.
Anyways, i notice that you added quite a bit to your bio. Looking great! I love how you called it a drug. Lol, totally agree.
And hey, u like Jackie Chan too. Great stuff. Do u know Tony Jar - he's like the Thailand Jackie Chan + Bruce Lee + Jet Li on steriods!!! That guys fricken amazing!!! He's got 3 movies out ( i think) but i dunno the english names coz i saw them in Chinese. But i think you could probably google Tony Jar and find them.
Oh! and was it you who introduced me to the greatness of Bard's Song? Lol, its been so long since ive been on, i cant even remember.. soz!!!
What was your avatar before? I cant seem to remember exactly...
And how do u like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann? Right now im watching this currently-airing show called Needless and lots of ppl on the net are comparing it to TTGL for its spatic-ness you if you like TTGL go check it out too~
Well, cya around real soon buddy!!! XD

Happens to us all. Sometimes some shows are even great longer than ten minutes and it still goes bad.
I see you have a list of best fight Choreography. Those all have tight moves.
Have you checked out Sword of the Stranger yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSn-qVaEXqo
Konnichiwa!
