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.
I usually don’t eat while reading, but when it comes to manga and animé, my mind (and heart) cannot help but gravitate towards onigiri and dorayaki. ^_^
maybe gum because its hard stopping to grab a bite, but having a cup full of yummy liquid (any you can think of) is the least distracting while reading , and when the a chapter ends i refill the cup.
Well, I can eat pretty much everything I find at home: cookies, rice crackers, even potato chips.
Most of the time (always) I don’t have anything to drink or eat while reading. Why? because any moment an accident can happen and I could end up with a soggy or oily manga @_@ NO CHANCE IT’S GONNA HAPPEN SIR.
But if I must, I drink cold barley tea; yum…
For anime watching, I usually eat cereal (Frosted Flakes =P), but for manga reading, I like coffee or coffee milk.
Oh, i so wish i had food in this house. If i wasnt so paying attention to anime and manga, maybe i would of been in the house cleaning and have time for like.. a grocery list… but i love to have pocky as a snack anytime!
sairuh – Onigiri is so good!
dood – That’s a great way to read manga! No messes!
Ajax – Cookies are a great snack! I also eat just about anything (while anime watching). When I read manga though, it’s usually something that won’t make a mess.
yaku – Yeah, soggy/oily manga is not good, lol! But I agree – cold barley tea is delicious!
Mika – Pocky makes a great snack! Plus, it’s not messy (for the most part).
