I am also a 3d animation student close to graduation, and an all round weirdo and geek but i am sure you'd figure that one out if you are even a little inquisitive. Oh yeah i was born in Russia so english is not my first language...just in case i type something...weird.
Spamming? I think not. The comments are supposed to go here, yeah. I guess if you're used to Facebook, then MAL would seem like a breeze to use. I take it you don't have a Facebook...? If so, good for you, since I've been regarding mine as an infested ants' nest.
Jobless hermit? By choice? Ah, even with me, who can be a little reclusive when the mood is right, barely has time for anime.
I understand what you mean by solitary activity, and you listed all the same reasons for me. I find it hard to immerse myself in something when someone is yammering away behind me. Being alone and say watching a sad anime makes you feel more comfortable in opening up and accepting all sorts of feelings while you watch it. My big regret was watching something like Grave of the Fireflies with company.
Cool, cool. I just need...time. I struggle with watching anime, too. I have to be in a mood, the timing has to be right, and I prefer doing it when I'm alone. Most of the time, I don't feel like watching it, the timing is off, and I'm always surrounded by people.
Thanks for the recommendations. Actually, I have Eureka 7 downloaded and waiting to watch for many, many months now. I guess I forgot to add it to my list. I've always seen Gilgamesh around, and I've many times considered buying the DVDs for it, but there was always something holding me back. I'll try to prioritise both anime, but at the moment, terribly swamped! I shouldn't even be online right now, I'm simply procrastinating from getting work done.
