Ok, so I didn’t get the 100 comments I wanted, but I really dislike tripping over the box of giveaway crap in my office so I’m caving in and announcing a winner at the 73 comment mark.
The winner has been notified by e-mail so please check your e-mail. If we do not hear from the winner within a week, we will redraw for a new winner.
A new contest is starting soon, so those of you who didn’t win, you can still re-enter for another chance! Next round, I’ll be including newer releases into the mix, so keep reading and thanks for participating!

I was exposed to anime as a child while living in Germany after watching the Japanese version of Hans Christian Anderson’s the Little Mermaid. In high school, a classmate in art brought in Akira as an example of Japanese art. I wasn’t very impressed with anime at the time, but my re-exposure to it in 2000 thanks to Escaflowne had me hooked for life.After sorting out what I liked about anime (great stories, beautiful animation and epic battles) and disliked about anime (big boobs, angst-y 15 year-old kids, most mecha, sports stories and style-over-substance), I got into it with a vengeance.I do love almost all aspects of Japanese culture and try to be involved with it as much as possible. I have no problem admitting that I incorporate a lot of Japanese trends and traditions into my life as I modify them and make them my own. Anime is a big part of that, along with all the sub-cultures, past and present.
I don’t remember if I entered this contest…but I’ll definately sign up for the next one! Such an amazing giveaway!
