Well, I've been an anime fan since I was about 13 after being introduced to "Akira".. Ever since then it's been "What do you want for Christmas/Birthday, Ian?" - "ANIME!" It's since grown into obsession levels.. (Let's just say that I used to rent Blockbuster's anime section out on a consistant basis) Now that I actually have the funds for it, it's get a paycheck, run to the store for anime, paycheck, order some fansubs, paycheck, run back to the store. Doing that for over a year left me with nothing much besides my awe inspiring collection of anime (Over 180 tapes, Strong!) I really enjoy the comedic series such as Slayers, but I also enjoy the more serious stuff like Evangelion. I have to say my least favorite is the Mecha genre, I see so much sci-fi everywhere else I've kinda burned myself out on anything futuristic.. Tho as long as it has an excellent plot, good origonal characters, and some humor thrown in, I can tell ya that there's a 99.9% chance of it making it's way into my ever-growing collection of anime.   - Shinma
