About

welcome

How I got into all this:
My gateway into this otaku world was Sailor Moon the anime. I became absolutely addicted to the show in 5th grade, I thought the art was beautiful and I liked the concept of a cartoon with love, action, and a plot that progresses with each episode. I was crushed when the WB56 left the series incomplete in the middle of the Dark Moon arc. Took me a while to realize that what I was watching was “Japanimation” and then I learned that word was stupid and that it was “Anime”. I started opening up to shows besides Sailor Moon about junior high, Cardcaptors was what really pulled me all the way in. I was SO FRUSTRATED at all the obvious editing in “Cardcaptors” (Cardcaptor Sakura) that I bought the series uncut and subbed on VHS from ebay. Yes, yes, they were bootlegs, but I didn’t realize that at the time, I just saved up my allowance and asked my dad to buy it for me. After I realized I liked reading subs, everything opened up to me and I found out anime was so much more then just magical girls and Pokemon. I didn’t start playing video games seriously until I was introduced to the concept of an RPG in 6th grade via Final Fantasy VIII. I enjoy video games a lot but it could be considered my secondary hobby.

After I graduated college (and had a salary) I started getting into figures of my favorite anime characters too. I started Blogging in July 2008, I was SO SO bored at my new job and it provided me some relief in my day. But now I’m rather addicted to it and decided it was worth the small fee to buy my own domain. For the most part I ditched all my older posts with my first blog. I like doing reviews of series that leave a strong impression on me, my review blurbs are all very casual though. You could say the whole purpose of them is just to reach out to other enthusiastic fans with those posts and make friends with those with similar interests :)
