Hello everyone! OK, so I’ve been here for almost a year now and I never even introduced myself! So here goes…
To me, anime is nothing short of amazing as far as animated TV is concerned. Living in the US, I grew up with the usual cartoons that this country had to offer, like those seen on Cartoon Network. I was generally fine with it for a while…
But then came 1999 and the introduction of Pokemon. When I first saw it, I thought to myself “Wow, the style of this is very different!” I couldn’t stop thinking aout how much more lively things looked compared to other cartoons. It was at this moment that my interest in anime got started.
After the first couple seasons, I stopped watching it for a while, and started watching other series off and on, like Yu-Gi-Oh, DBZ, and Bleach, but nothing really caught my attention for a while. I think I was too focused on school to be that concerned with it.
It wasn’t until about two years ago that I started regaining my passion for anime. I started doing some research to see if I could find any new shows that caught my eye. I was impressed with Kyoto Animation’s work, but there was only one show of theirs I just couldn’t get enough of…
You guessed it! Clannad! I couldn’t get over how great the storyline was, the soundtrack, and the incredible detail of the scenery, which is some of the best I’ve ever seen. So far, this is the only anime that has been able to make me cry, and to me, that’s something I’ll never forget!
I have since moved on to college, but my interest in anime has never been higher! I’m not a collector of anime DVDs, and I don’t go to conventions; i’d rather just watch it online. I like any anime with a good storyline, with some good comedy thrown in the mix.
Sorry about the life story. :unsure: I hope to get to know everyone here well!
P.S: You guys can call me Scott. Also, anyone else sick of all this snow?? :huh:
