SailorSega

Hi hi!  I am Sailor Sega.  Let's be friends. 

The TL;DR version is, I have just started slowly getting back into anime and manga after getting burned out on it a decade ago.  I really like the shoujo genre and I'm currently rewatching some stuff that I have already seen but don't remember well and watching and reading some of the older stuff that I missed out on while I was away with the occasional new thing thrown in for good measure.

You can read the full version, below:

I was born in New Zealand in 1985.

The first anime I can remember watching is Voltron: Defender Of The Universe.  I didn't realise it was anime at the time.   I also didn't realise that the second anime I watched, " Samurai Pizza Cats", was an anime, either.  Despite the fact that they flat out said they were.   I must have been a really stupid child. 

The next anime I watched was Sailor Moon.  This is the first anime that I knew was anime when I watched it.   And I was hooked at that point.  I also found my first manga at this point.  It was a random volume of the manga entitled, Ironfist Chinmi that I found at a Scholastic  Book Fair.  I never saw any other volumes of Ironfist Chinmi before or after this one.

I spent the next decade watching whatever I could find at the video shop and whatever was on the telly.   When the price of D.V.D. players and the D.V.D.s themselves dropped to a price that normal people could afford, I started purchasing anime D.V.D.s from a local video game chain-store.  I was pirating fan subs around the same time (naughty).  This is about the time that I discovered I much preferred shoujo anime and manga.  I also started reading Shoujo Beat magazine every month.  

At one point I was only watching anime and only reading manga and I got burned out (I think the burnout happened around '09) and stopped watching it for over a decade.  I have only just started getting back into it in the last three years.  I am nowhere near as into it as I used to be.
