More of a lover of games than anime, my first introduction into the world of Japanese fantasy was with RPGs back in the SNES era. My brother was the one who led me down the path to both games and anime, although his tastes are more of the Ghost in the Shell and Macross variety, while mine are more along the lines of Fullmetal Alchemist, .hack//SIGN and Gravitation. I didn't start seriously watching anime until I was about 13 (a vulnerable age for us all...); the first TV series that really reeled me in was .hack//SIGN. I may have watched a few things before then, but .hack//SIGN captivated me like nothing else. The next heavy hitter was Fullmetal Alchemist, a few years later. Then came Death Note, another two years later. Watching series like Gravitation and Loveless also helped me to come to terms with the voracious yaoi lover hiding inside of me.

Two of my recent favourites include Pandora Hearts and Nabari no Ou. Both have captivating, original characters, but NnO has the beautifully detailed artistry that the other lacks, while PH makes up for its bland art style with a more compellingly told story. Their soundtracks are composed by two of my very favouritest anime composers: Yuki Kajiura (Pandora Hearts) and Michiru Oshima (Nabari no Ou). Do check them out if you're looking for a new series to devour!
