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.

Thanks David! It’s good to be 31! And sushi makes 31 that much better ^^.

Happy birthday! The question is, can you eat 31 pieces of nigiri sushi? ^_^

Happy Birthday Rachel!
Have at it with the sushi…though you may want to hold off on the fugu until a later birthday (though, I guess that would be sashimi rather than sushi).
Cue the band…hit it!:

@Thanks Kidan!
@griever, no I didn’t manage 31 (I think it was more like 6) but it was still an awesome b-day dinner!
@Mochi, Thanks! You know, the restaurant I went to did serve fugu, but only by appointment. Who woulda thought someone knew how to prepare fugu here in STL?
BTW, I love the Beatles: Thanks!
