Since we've done some major guild renovating, our
introduction thread has been put in the trash, oh noez!

So here's
a place to introduce yourself
and meet other members.
Tell us a little bit (or a lot!)
about yourself!
(I'd like to see an entry from
EVERY member )

My name is Emi, I'm the captain of this guild.
I'm pretty much a fanatic of Japanese culture,
and I'm on the borderline of clinical
insanity.

I am OBSESSEDDDD with anime and manga,
and I'm a pretty big
gamer. I prefer Japanese video games over
all others.
(it's not that I'm biased, I just find
the quality and storylines of Japan-produced games
much better and far more creative)
I like RPGs and fighting games,
such as Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda, NARUTO CLASH OF NINJA!,
Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Soul Calibur, Tekken, and others I cannot recall right now...
OH! I'M A DDR PSYCHO! O:

I was pretty much raised with anime, even
though I didn't realize it at the time.
Growing up in the 90s',
Pokemon, Sailor Moon, and Dragon Ball
were at the peaks of their popularity,
and I was a HUGE fan.
All those shows
from the 90s' were kind of just
a part of American pop-culture,
and people really didn't recognize
the origin and culture of these shows, and stopped
following anime once they outgrew Pokemon.
I was one of the crowd who did
recognize this, and preferred anime over
American cartoons (I've been
considered a major geek for it). I went
a lot further with it as I got
older, starting out with
series like InuYasha and Rurouni Kenshin,
and the obsession grew a ton from there.

My first manga experience aside
from Pokemon comics was
Yu Yu Hakusho. My friend's
brother owned several of the volumes,
and lent them to me when I was
like 9 years old. I was pretty
much in awe with them,
and went further on a
manga craze.

There are a TON, but I'll try to list
some of the manga/anime series I like...:
Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fullmetal Alchemist, InuYasha, Bleach, Elfen Lied, Death Note (manga only), Ghost in the Shell, FLCL, Fruits Basket, Samurai Champloo, Rurouni Kenshin, .hack//sign, AIRTv, Ah! My Goddess, Jigoku Shoujo, Cowboy Bebop, Dragon Ball, Big O, Sailor Moon, Noir, Yu Yu Hakusho (manga only), Gunsmith Cats, Black Cat (manga only), the first season of Pokemon!, Naruto, DN Angel and more! o_o

TV shows aside from anime that I like are few,
but they include Invader Zim, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends,
South Park, Family Guy, CSI; New York, Law and Order; CI, Scarred,
The Colbert Report, The Daily show, and a few others maybe...

As far as Japanese culture,
I think it's just a really exciting
country with an amazing history
and way of life
and intriguing customs that are
current.
Many aspects within Japanese pop-culture
are really appealing to me
as well
(such as the music, art, fashion, nationwide icons
and nationwide recreation/hobbies, etc.)
I love Japanese candy and junkfood!!!!
(the whole Japanland staff are die-hard
ramen and pocky fanatics)
I became interested in the culture
pretty separately from anime and manga.
As a little kid I found Japanese culture pretty
surreal and fascinating, and much more ideal than
American culture.
Asian culture in general has always interested
me, but it progressively boiled down more specifically
to Japanese.

I'm obsessed with art (in many forms), travel, MY WIFE (Meg, aka tick-tock BANGG. out of this whole list, she's my favorite :3),
culture, quirky things, and friends (like Lexa! aka My Chemically Altered).
I love storms and overcast weather, along with an infinite
selection of other things considered unconventional.
(like dysfunction, insanity and gore/carnage)
Cities and big places with a lot of culture and diversity
and stuff are neat.
Aminalz are friends.

I do listen to music, although it has been
a while. I like a lot of alternative rock and punk,
along with techno and electro s**t. I usually really
like soundtrack music from anime and video game
series. I really like do As infinity.

As a person, I'm EXTREMELY
anti-prejudice, and love diversity.
Unique people and things excite me.
I consider myself pansexual, I do NOT
believe in sexual orientation. I don't
think it's possible to only be able
of loving a specific gender.

I am random. In my mind,
it's good to be random. And weird.
Very, very weird.
People think I'm weird.
They're right!

Hi! New here! >.<
People call me Crystal or Amaya. I don't care which one you choose.
Also I'm Asian. Hmong to be exact which is like Miao.
Just for people who know what Miao is, I'm not Chinese.

I really love anime and manga.
I read almost any genre, but still really can't stand some.
My favorite would be.......
One Piece,
Hikaru no Go,
Fullmetal Alchemist,
Kodomo no Omocha,
Jigoku Shoujo,
D-Gray man,
Konjiki no Gash Bell and many more.
I have a MAL and if you have one, feel free to add me there. My user is
xAMAYAx.
If you know any good anime or manga tell me! >.<
Just know that I'll be busy with my other manga and anime.

I enjoy video games. I don't have a favorite so far, but I do love Earthbound aka Mother.

My dream is to travel the world one day, but Japan is one place that I must go to!
I am teaching myself Japanese right now and am also learning by watching anime. So I'm not pretty good. sweatdrop

I enjoy listening to music.
I enjoy any kind of music, but you will mostly find me listening to Japanese songs.
I always listen to my music.

Um......... others thing about me......
I love pocky and ramen.
I'm not a big fan of fashion, but I love to wear plaid, sweaters and jeans.
Not skinny jeans though. They are too tight for me. gonk
I don't like how they squeeze you and all. I can't stand it.

I'm a pretty nice person. Just don't get on my nerves. Which actually is quite hard to do. Just don't try.
I love talking to people.
Especially about Japan, manga or anime.

Oh and I also do community service.
Which involves Japanese stuff.
If you want to know about it then note me.
It contains too much details!! >.<

There are more about me, but I will stop here since I don't want to make you guys read a lot.
If you want to know more then please feel free to note me.
I don't bite.

>.< o_o >o< >_o >_< o_< @w@
Me and my many faces.......

I'm Eli, the otaku with a brain. I hate yaoi crack and pairings that don't make sense, and do not try to convince me that they do. (I like canon yaoi, though) Other than that, we'll have no problems, as I'm a very tolerant person.

I grew up on DBZ, Sailor Moon, and Pokemon. In fact, I pretty much don't watch anything that isn't animated, even now that I'm 19. *shrugs* I just think it's more expressive than non-animated media is. Unfortunately when it comes to anime I have a tendency to overanalyze things--for example, I figured out how every character in One Piece's abilities work, no matter how crazy they are. *except the Lion's Requiem that Zoro uses, I'm still perplexed as to how that worked....* I sometimes have to watch Bo-bobo or something else that makes no sense just to turn my brain off and give it a break.

It's because of anime that I decided to take karate, and discovered that I was actually really interested in it. I took three years of lessons before I was unable to keep going after my family moved--twice. After that, I started collecting manga. I really want to finish collecting Kenshin, Rave Master, and Buso Renkin at least. I also really enjoy Megatokyo.

The manga I'm currently reading are One Piece, Naruto, Sekirei, Bleach, Zatch Bell, Rave Master, Kenshin, and Buso Renkin.

I also don't irrationally support subs completely--some English dubs I've seen are really great. Viewtiful Joe was the only awesome 4Kids dub I ever saw, though. The rest are garbage. Rave Master's English dub was great, but I really need to read the rest of the manga so I can see how it ended--DAMN YOU, CN!!!! Above all, I believe that despite the fact that I like anime, I don't let it run my life completely. It's my life's goal to prove that an anime fan can have a brain, too.

Hmm I'll keep that in mind. Sadly I don't own a lot of game consoles. I started late as a gamer, my first console was an N64. I had a GC too but I sold that because I can just play games on my Wii now. My brother has a PS2 and my family's poor so I couldn't buy one of my own.
PostPosted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 11:19 pm


Haiii Eli and Chris.
Thanks for joining our
little land of spaztasticness... :]

Haha, Eli- I understand your over-analyzing with anime.
I'm extremely neurotic myself, and also very OCD in a very
unconventional sense, and ruin a lot of things for myself with how
much I think about things.
It's good for us crazy people to give our brains a break
once in a while.
And also,
YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO WATCH CARTOONS!
I agree, they are far more expressive
than other forms of media, and are much more
creative.

Thanks for introducing yourselves!
It's nice that we're getting more posts
now.

-Squeaks.-

'Ello, my name's Kat and I'm eighteen years old.
I'm female, and my colorful words get me in trouble
all the time but I try to curb it~ (Albeit unsuccessfully
most of the time. It slips, or I end up biting my tongue
half-way through the word. Which hurts. I usually bite my
balls on accident.) ... (Tongue ring, you pervert.) I have
fourteen piercings~ Tongue ring, snakebites, and the rest
are lobe/cartilage piercings on the ears. (I gauged my lobes
to 4g. I want to go to 0g or 00g~)

As you can tell I have a peculiar sense of humor,
most comedy movies won't make me laugh but if
any of you have heard of the movie "Bitten" that
recently aired on Sci-fi a few times you'll know
how dark my comedy is. D:

Uhm... I've been an avid fan of anime ever since I was younger;
I was obsessed with Sailor Moon... But after having watched
the subtitled versions versus the dubbed versions... D8 I can't
watch dubbed anime after the subs. The Japanese voices are so
much better to my ears~ Well, after SM I went on to DBZ. Then to
Zoids, Gundam, Kikaider, and then InuYasha. It was when I started
watching InuYasha while waiting for Kikaider to come on that I did a
little research on the internet regarding IY~ And lo' and behold!
I discovered the wonderful kingdom of anime - and then manga.

The first manga I read was Demon Diary, but seeing as I only
purchased two volumes I couldn't really follow it since they switched
writers through it (or something D8 it was weird.)

-Blinks.- Mmm... I used to be an admin for the fan-fiction website "Animespiral"
and used to write tons of fan-fiction... But now I've grown too attached to canon
pairings and I can't stand reading anything other then canon...
All the "insert you" and "OC" "AU" fan-fics get a little tedious after awhile. And I absolutely hate cross overs.

Other then anime and manga my obsessions are Visual Kei, J-Rock, the supernatural,
studying different languages, art of all kinds, and my fiance.

-Blinks at the long post,- I'm living in the USA for a few more weeks but around
July 14th I'll be on a plane to Amsterdam, Holland where my fiance owns a farm.
'Erm. ;< If you have any more questions you can PM me~ Sorry for the long post.

Yo~
I'm Kat(but since there is already another Kat, ya'll can call me Kitty!), a 16 year old Otaku! Anime/Manga, Japan, and Video Games are my life! I seriously don't know what I would do wifout 'em!

Lemme see, my top list of favorite anime/mangas would have to be:
1) NANA (i haven't read the manga yet but I REALLY want to now!)
2) Samurai Champloo
3) Fullmetal Alchemist (again, only seen the anime.)
4) Code Geass (LuluXSuza FTW!)
5) Death Note
And so many others that I can't remember right now.

Japanese culture has been a great interest of mine for as long as I can remember! They are so awesome and pretty! *mews*

Japanese music is one big thing I love about Japan. My friends always look at me funny when I start rocking out to 19 Sai by Suga Shikao or Rose by Anna Tsuchiya. =3

Video Games are FTW! I rock at RPGs. Shooters I'm alright at, my speciality in those is sniping.

Ano~ I dunno what else to say... Oh well! Thanks for letting me join! I hope to have loads of fun in such an amazing guild! OTAKU PRIDE FTW!
