I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.

    USA only, again. >_> (Though I’m sure they’re all dubs so it’s for the better.)

    Well, I think that Gonzo did perform rather well with Blassreiter and Druaga by putting them on Youtube. I don’t know about their sales, though. I don’t know what will happen with Funimation, but I hope it’s going to be well too.
    If they did, then they will get what they deserved, profit that comes from DVD sales, not from TV broadcast. Everything will be fine maybe if fansubs would put their hands off the DVD releases.
