I got into anime cause I love cartoons back then( to hell with the politics in our country for spouting nonsense. Just kidding). If a "certain" seiyuu was raised in the house of music, I was raised in a house full of television where I enjoyed watching "Akazukin Chacha", Zenki, "Dragon balls", Voltes 5, Sailormoon, Pokemon, Rayearth, Yu Yu hakusho, Flame of Recca, Speed Racer, Detective Conan, One piece, Fushigi Yugi, Ranma 1/2, Slam Dunk, Rurouni kenshin, B'tx , Card Captor Sakura, Gundam Wing , Gundam X, Hunter X Hunter, Captain Tsubasa, Fuusigi Yuugi, and Escaflowne(I should have put etc. but whatever) where anime was still awesome as hell . If you want to know what genre I watch I watch anything except horror. If you want to know why, just ask and I'll answer " :) " or send you into the v0id in RC IRC channel. Thanks to the internet now this days that I can now watch anime while they aren't airing and save them later for the last. First I tried stream videos but somehow I stop doing that cause the video gets cut when internet connection gets disconnected. Good thing .torrents were made and the rest is history.
In the manga side, the first thing that I read was I's where I read it only in books in the bookstore. Then I found out that manga CAN be read in the internet(G*d damn it, I shouldn't have spent those money). After that I stop spending and kept reading manga until I got absorb by it and forgetting whats happening outside then I stop reading and got back into anime and RL again(Manga consumes your soul and your anime. True story). I'm REALLY REALLY picky when it comes to manga cause like what I said it consumes my soul a lot.
I, in my thinking set :) , thinks that each person has there own personal taste in manga and anime so I don't argue much with them. I really HATE people who thinks "this anime/manga is crap cause the producer/director/script/artwork/etc. " when the anime hasn't even aired yet. Hell if you even think of making a story that you were proud of it and every people thinks it was shit/crap what would you think. I think they deserve a chance. Making anime and manga isn't as easy as just writing one.
I guess that is all I can say about what and why question on how I got into anime/manga.
P.S. : 40%(entire life) where I get my anime info and line-up is from Random Curiosity. And forgive me with my grammar suck. I know it sucks . |
