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.
