Report Kruszer's Profile

I'm from Minnesota and I currently work at a grocery store as a department manager.

Anime:

Long time anime fan here, though my geek-dom is not entirely limited to it either. I first got introduced to it back in middle school in 1996, and decided to check out more of the medium. I ended up watching a marathon of [b]Dragonball Z[/b], which made me want to check out more anime shows. Thus I watched the entire Toonami and Adult Swim lineups as well as the Encore Action Channel's catalog as well.

My taste in anime is pretty broad as I enjoy just about any genre. My favorite genres are Sci-Fi, Action, Romance, and mystery. My favorite demographic is Seinen though I will watch others too like Shounen and also including some Shoujo and Jousei if they're interesting enough, despite being a guy. Genere's I generally don't care for include Shounen-ai/yaoi, magical girl, and sports stuff, however there are even a few exceptions to those as well.

Manga:

As for Manga, I'm not a real huge fan of it at least not compared to my anime consumption. However, I do follow a decent amount of series. Normally I read manga or novels because I've seen the anime adaptation and want to know the rest of the story. I do most of my manga reading via legal English releases, usually paperbacks. I've been burned more than few times doing this so my policy lately with them has been to buy new releases of manga and novels right away to show support and hopefully the series won't get dropped before I finish reading it. Sadly this means I have a huge book backlog now of stuff I haven't read yet. I also read a few h-manga as well, mostly because they're short and easily completed.

Novels:

I read more of these than I do manga. I'm a slow reader, so it takes me a long time to finish them, but I read EBooks or listen to audible books on a daily basis. I mostly read the series I was introduced to through the anime in order to see how the rest of the story turns out.

Collections:

I have a sizable collection of anime DVD and Blu-rays as well as smaller collections of manga, novels, anime OSTs, and a few figures. The biggest one is my anime collection.
