Hello, everyone! My name’s Vanessa and this is my first time being on the forums. I just signed up on animenetwork not too long ago since it looked like a really fun place to be in ^^ I’ve been into anime ever since Pokemon and Cardcaptors but I havent entirely seen alot of anime as most have but I’m still watching as much as I can =) I’m currently 20 going to be 21 on June 15 which is coming up VERY soon. And I love reading, writing, singing when no one is looking, and I somtimes do fandubbing or amv making on the side. Mostly just a hobby ^^ Anyways, its wonderful to meet you all! Hope to be friends with some of you soon =)
Welcome to TAN and post often. 
Yo Butterflyxduck, welcome to the forums! My history with anime has been pretty similar to yours, as Pokemon was also one of my first, though the shows that got me more interested in the subculture were probably Cowboy Bebop, Serial Experiments Lain, FLCL, and Inuyasha.
I’m also 20, though I won’t be turning 21 until April 30 next year. Shwooo, getting old is fun!!
Be sure to check out our http://www.theanimenetwork.com/Watch-Online, which has plenty of shows for just about anyone. http://www.theanimenetwork.com/Anime/Demon-King-Daimao/Watch is currently being simulcasted, and it’s pretty awesome so far.
If you need any help with the forums or have general questions about the site, feel free to ask away–we also have a brand spanking new http://www.theanimenetwork.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,65/func,rules/ which may provide clarification for some common questions regarding the site.

Oh, and welcome to the insanity… er, the forums, butterflyxduck. With your background, you’d be great for “Claim Your Bishojou/Bishounen” in the “Other Anime” section. Stop by and get in on the fun!
