Yeah I just figured that would be a good start. But I'll look into the other posts.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, I've just had fantastic teachers that I thought I'd return the favor. My only problem is that my weakest subjects are history and geography... and in elementary boy do they pile that on... but I'll just study extra hard I suppose :P

Helloo ^^ I'm Ann, Californian, and I started manga 2 years ago, and since then I've been hooked. Trust me, InuYasha is a good starter.

I'm an eighth grader, and I don't know how but I stay up reading mangas til around 12 AM, and then start my homework (am I trying to kill myself or what?)

My name is Jennifer. I live in Idaho Falls, Idaho and I'm a sophomore at Idaho State University. I'm a history major and I'm minoring in art history.

I'm not really new to anime or manga, but it has become somewhat of a passion as of late. And since my boyfriend is just as into it as I am, its become much more integrated into my life!

I'm Trenna. I go by Mandralyne/Mandy here on MAL, and several other sites. If you see that username around the web its me. I've only been into anime/manga since about December of last year. My college had a three week winter break in which I was extremely bored and decided to watch a few of the shows my brother told me about. After I watched Nana I wanted to know more so I read the manga and from there was been reading manga in my free time.

I finish college next Thursday and graduate on June 19th. I'll have my DSW (Developmental Services Worker) diploma and I plan on working with seniors. Currently I have a clinical field placement at the local Alzheimer's Society (which I love) although it is a challenging job sometimes.

To the engineering majors my college/campus has the Number 1 rated Mechanical Engineering program in North America.

Hi, everyone!
I'm Paula and I live in Finland in a town about 100 km from Helsinki to East. Right now I'm a student of tourism on a summer vacation.
I have watched anime since I was a little kid, but I fell in love with it when I was 10 or 11-years-old. That started with Sailor Moon. A little later I found manga when they started to publish Ranma ½ in finnish.
My favorite genres are shoujo, romance, comedy and fantasy.

I love to write own short stories and novels, I write also fan fiction sometimes. My other hobbies are (window)shopping, watching movies, listening to music and daydreaming.

Nice to meet you~!

Thanks. I hope that I will post something to other topics too 8D

I like writing mostly stories with different relationships in them. Not only romance, but also stories about friendship and brotherhood, for example. Usually my main characters are not so "normal", because I think tolerating all kind of people is an important theme too. And I write always in finnish, not only because it's my mother tongue, but because I love that language and enjoy using it.

| Age: | (16 yo)
| Born in: | January 7, 1995 (6:06am)
| Hometown: | Canada, Montreal

Well, here goes!~ My name's Alex, as you can see. I've officially started discovering the world of Anime in the year 2008. But before that, I never knew what Anime actually was, nor did I know the name existed. I even watched Animes on TV when I was little without even knowing it was Anime.
And they were 'Dragon Ball Z' - 'Pokemon' - 'BeyBlade' - 'Yu-Gi-Oh!' - 'Battle B-Daman'

When I discovered the world of Anime, it was when I started watching 'Naruto' on my computer, thanks to a student in my Elemtary school. And I never knew that would be possible. meaning; I didn't know anything about Anime, nor that we could of watched it on Stream on the internet.

As for Manga, I officially started reading Manga in (Dec, 15 2009). My first manga that I read was 'Pandora Hearts'. And I must say, when I grew more fond of Anime and becoming an Otaku. I then become addicted to Romance anime/manga, and still am.

As for my life? I have my problems, went to feeling different, intimidation, isolation, depression, problems; all becayse of school. ect. ect. *cough* Anyways!!!
As for my "skills" idk idc. I want to become an Actor. I love Anime, Manga & Japanese Music. I have my goals; finish High School, College, University. start in an apartment, then buy mangas & anime dvd's. then wife, kids ect. And my interest's would be to write books about self-confidence/self-esteem & self-help stuff. and do ALOT of stuff as a Youtube User. maybe even animation x3 so mostly stuff on the computer.

well... I could probably say more, dont know where to start. but as if I'll say more-
check out my Blogs one day. When I finally get Photo Shop. I'm gonna get BUSY!!! w/ Blogs especially. well, see yah. ciao x3

Hello! Intro threads are always a little difficult for me as I often wonder what exactly I should say. Many people come up with witty intros to start off with, and others seem to not know what to say at all.

I will just choose the right way for me and just be myself, for better or worse. ^_^

I am one of those anime fans who never really read manga, and always wondered why so many people would complain about things like filler episodes, and shows that did not do the source material justice. Then slowly, I began to read some here and there, and I gained a far better understanding of just why people complained about their favorites being adapted poorly. I also becgan to appreciate Manga more and more.

I have tried many genre's and some I like, and some not, but I think it is good to keep an open mind, and try new things you might not be familiar with. Recently I ran into one of your members, and he invited me here, so the rest as they say is fate. ^_^

Hello! My names Pia, I live in Brazil and I've been watching anime ever since I can remember. I always loved watching anime but it was only when I turned 12 that I started to read manga. Since then, I've begun to prefer manga over anime and I've read quite a few series. I try to read a wide variety of genres, because always reading the same genres is boring! Nice to meet everyone! ^^

Hi! I'm Procella and I live in Finland. I'm in high school and I would like to go university after high school. ^^

I've read manga about two years and I got into anime about half year ago. I'm active as an manga reader but I don't watch anime so much. Couple series every now and then. As for genres I'm okay almost all of them.

I like physics, biology, languages (I can speak finnish, english, swedish and more or less french), writing (mainly stories & songs), thinking about life, being alone, reading (both manga & books), listening to rock / metal and just being on computer even without proper reason. ^^

Well, that's pretty much it. Nice to meet you everyone! ^__^

I on the otherhand, am quite conceded. So brace yourself for a substantial intro that takes an in-depth look into myself and my manga interests ^_^

Hi everyone! My name's Ricky and i'm happy to join this club! i've been watching anime for a while but have only been getting into manga recently. For anime i like ones about following your dreams (i.e: One Piece, Hanasaku Iroha) or one's about finding or creating a place where you belong (i.e K-On, Naruto).

For manga however, for whatever reason, i absolutely just love shoujo manga. I'm open to other genre's but would be real interested in any shoujo recommendations(preferably completed stuff). I've read a few and my favorites so far are dengeki daisy, strobe edge and koshitagari no blue.

Also, being new to manga, i don't really understand licensing or why mal says some series are finished yet when u go to look for them on the web, they're clearly not finished. if anyone could offer any intel on either of these issue's i'd really appreciate it. i'd love to chat w/anyone so hit me up here or on my page!

Hello, name's Pedro Cabrita, I'm portuguese and I'm 19, almost 20 years old.
There isn't much to say about me. I am addicted to manga and videogames.
Favorite manga include: One Piece, 20th Century Boys (Anything by Urasawa actually), Berserk, Love Hina and Memories of Emanon.
I'm currently trying to reach 100 completed mangas, currently at 91 and reading Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro and Franken Fran.
I've been looking for a couple manga groups to join and this one looked like a good one.

I love Memories of Emanon :) I've only read it once, but the art is simply beautiful.

Maybe I should update people on my intro :P It's been almost 3 years since I started this thread, and in that time, I have gotten even more into manga. These days I don't have a lot of free time, though, due to working full time, as well as my involvement with various online communities. I have learned to enjoy programming in these 3 years and have dabbled a bit in web dev. I have also gotten involved with scanlation and am currently an admin at Imangascans. Oh, and I'm studying in Electrical Engineering with a bit over a year still to go before I graduate.

Hello! Yeah, I can relate... some mangas just seem to change you forever. Good luck with music! I wish I knew how to play an instrument, but it's something I never really spent much time on when I was younger, and now it's probably too late.
