Since I'm not going to reveal my name, you can call me Mizu.
My first encounter with the anime happened when I was around 4 and watched Sailor Moon. It was my favourite cartoon that I could never forget about, though at that time I didn't even know what anime was. Then I got pulled into Pokemon craze, and finally fell in love with Rei from Beyblade :P
When I was 16 one day I decided to find and watch again Sailor Moon. It was the first time I watched anime in Japanese with English subtitles (time to learn English seriously!). On the same webpage I found other series and blindly chose another one. It was Fushigi Yuugi. Then I watched The Vision of Escaflowne. The anime obsession began.
Now I watch anime, read manga, obsess over my favourite seiyuu, can understand a bit of Japanese and dream about my favourite characters :)
I watch various series though I prefer those with deeper meaning. Characters who can't deal with their past or can't find their place in the world - that's my thing. I like anime which contain magic, feature samurai or bishounen. I don't mind action anime.
That would be more or less all. If you want to discuss any anime on my list, don't hesitate to leave a comment or send me a message :)
Random anime-related stuff about me:
-> I love shonen-ai and yaoi. What might seem weird for some people, I do not support the seme/uke division though. Love is about equality, not dominance!
-> I am a feminist and I hate ecchi. How are those two things related? You can see bare boobs and panty shots in general anime,but won't see a naked guy there. How fair is it?
-> Yes, I hate Elfen Lied. Got a problem with that?
-> No harem anime and no moe characters for me, please...
-> I love fantasy themes.
-> If a character has Tomokazu Seki's or Takehito Koyasu's voice, I will probably love him. That's how I ended up worshipping the main villain from Gintama and a few other anime...
-> I like it when the main character is anti-hero. I'm an evil person. The peaceful, loving-all and ever-so-forgiving characters annoy me...
-> Chichiri from Fushigi Yuugi and Ran Fujimiya from Weiss Kreuz are mine. FIN.
-> A character (be it a female or male) wearing pink will NOT gain my respect.
-> I DESPISE English dubbing. Both English and Japanese are foreign languages for me, however the latter sounds much better in my personal opinion. Maybe it's because Japanese is closer to my mother tongue in terms of pronunciation. What's more, the unique atmosphere of the anime is gone if I hear English.
-> Many people laugh at so called Engrish. Therefore I would like to inform the native English speakers: you sound equally silly trying to pronounce Japanese words :P

Hmm well Im also a university student. I'm 20. Soon to be 21. I'm a nursing major and Ill be graduating in spring 2013. I really hope I can get a job without too much difficulty haha. I always liked Japan since I was little and trying to learn Japanese was really how I got into anime. I realized I could pick up phrases and such by watching it so I did so consistently. In the beginning that was why anyway. Also because I never knew my favorite cartoon Sailor Moon was an anime. It's impossible to start getting into something like this and not fall in love with it I'd say lol. I've been watching for about 3 years I think.
My favorite genre is comedy. Followed by romance and drama as a close second. I love anime or manga that makes me unable to stop. I really like marathoning long running anime too. I also get annoyed with airing shows. I would rather they all be done by the time I watch them. I like the suspense of having to wait for One Piece every week though. I also really like anime that get inside your head so you have that "WHAT IS GOING ON" feeling. It's the best. Thats why I really like dramas like Steins;Gate, Mawaru Penguindrum and Revoutionary Girl Utena. Steins;Gate and Mawaru Penguindrum are the best anime of this year in my opinion.
hey i randomly stumbled upon your profile in a gintama forum, i just want to say your story about getting into anime with sailor moon is almost the EXACT same story as mine. except i had had the internet for a long time and one day just decided to watch it. and the random anime i clicked on after was tokyo mew mew instead of fushigi yuugi haha. nice to meet you 77% anime compatability :) oh and you have impeccable tastes in seiyuu by the way. im kind of interested, a little, in shounen ai. is hakuouki good?
