Getting to know those on the Anime/Manga Forum

is that still on sci fi? I didnty know that

i only found it when searching the Internet i looked it up because they used to play anime on it late at night (the really violent stuff)

tcha i know, i used to record it every night, i thought they gave it up though.

hey everyone, 😮 i've already posted on a couple of other threads mentioning my return...but thought that i'd reintroduce myself here. i'm manda, i'm a lil "unschooled" when it comes to anime, but i'm learnin' 📖 . partially in thanks to my boyfriend 😍 who also happens to like anime (whom i also got to join kmc just this very evening so you might see him posting around). anyway...hello again!

oh yeah, there's a local anime club that's having a Vandread marathon (i think that's what it was)...can i get an opinion on that b/c i've not yet heard of it and if it sucks idk if i'll go. pm me if you'd like, thanks!

We have new members coming here often. I'm bumping the thread so that you guys introduce yourselves and tell us more about you and your favorite Anime/Mangas titles. Don't be shy! Everyone is welcome.

Hmm, and official introduction thread? Why didn't I see this before? Yeah, I know why, cuz I was too lazy to look through all 14..erm 15(?), however many pages there were. I looked at what was there, and what I found in search.

Well, lets get on with it, shall we?

I sure hope I haven't made any enemies yet! I just got here a few weeks ago! I'm 19, a senior in highschool. I plan on going to college for journalism, or that's what I told UofI! Though I'm having second thoughts on that. I wish I could just go for English. I like to think I can write well. Tee hee. Anyway, onto matters that...uh, apply to this area! I started watching anime waaay back when. Nah, not that long ago. Maybe, hmm, when was Digmon first aired on FOX KIDS? Or was it Pokemon that I loved first? Eh, well, there you go, a few years at least! I think I posted a very long thingie on the <from anime newbies to seniors> thread. Or its titled something like that. Erm, I posted about my anime "history" mostly.

Now I'm sure you're all thinking that I'm completely wacko, but I'm willing to bet you would be too after watching Gravitation for seven hours!!! (One hour dedicated to LOST).

I think that's a well enough introduction. OH oh! Fav animes!
