So, if you're reading this then you have somehow managed to stumble upon my profile; I would congratulate you but well, I'm not particularly exciting! Anyway, thank you for coming to say hello and I shall attempt to make your next couple of minutes reading this as painless as possible.

I'm Cassie and I’m from Britland - the land of tea, big red buses and sarcasm. I graduated from uni last year with a BA (hons) in Animation Arts, so I can sympathise with just how much work goes into animation. I currently work part-time at a local theatre (theatre not cinema) as a steward, which is pretty fun.

As you can probably guess from my list, I love anime. I’ve been hooked for about four years now after a friend of mine recommended Le Portrait de Petit Cossette, and I’ve never looked back. I am a complete and unashamed Ghibli fangirl, to the point where even writing my third year dissertation on the female roles in Miyazaki’s films hasn’t put me off!

When it comes to my tastes in anime, I generally tend to like comedy series the most, from the spastically random to the gentle slice of life. If you can get some dark humour in there then I’m as happy as a pig in… well you get my drift – I suspect that my love for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is because I’m actually a bit warped.

I also love manga, though that’s a slightly newer obsession of mine, and one that my bank balance heartily hates me for. I’m also a bit of a film buff, and now my bedroom looks like a mini-branch of HMV with racks and piles of DVDs everywhere. I enjoy playing video games as well, my favourite being Okami – that game is just too beautiful for words. I also co-own a webcomic with a friend, which has recently re-launched, and if you couldn’t tell by now, I don’t really have much of a life.

Anyway, I should probably wrap this up since basically I've run out of vaguely interesting things to say about myself. Feel free to say hello, I don't bite (much), and I'm happy to answer any questions that you have (well, except from you, yeah you, the perv in the corner!).

Not long ago I was lucky enough to become one of the official site reviewers here, which I’m really enjoying. You may occasionally notice that my review ratings differ from my list ratings. This is because my star ratings are based on my enjoyment of the show in question, whereas when I review an anime, I mark it on genuine quality, so if you are confused by this difference, that is the reason. In the meantime, these are some reviews that I’m hoping to get to in the near(ish) future - if I can stop adding to the list that is:

- Kyou Kara Maou

- My Neighbours the Yamadas

- Porco Rosso

- Tactics

- xxxHolic
