So where do I start? Hmm!!! I guess the start would be as good a place as any huh?
I got into anime about 13 years ago when Manga Entertainment started releasing various titles on VHS.
I remember walking into John Menzies in Inverness and browsing the video shelves with some money burning in my pocket. I selected a title walked up to the counter, the dude served me, and I walked out with a nice hefty smile on my face and a copy of the original Fist Of The North Star in my little bag. Needless to say I was chuffed to bits getting served an 18 rated video............Well it meant something in those days didn't it?
Anyway I went home stuffed it into my video player and sat there........Amazed. :shock:
Never in my puff had I seen a "cartoon" like this.........I say cartoon because thats what it was back then. It wasn't until my interest grew that I started to find out what the whole thing was about.
And so my love of anime was born.
I'd never seen anything like it, as I mentioned above, but the whole style and essence of the movies that were about was so completely different that the hook was well and truly embedded. They really seemed to spark my imagination.
So coming bang up to date.
My name is Kev, I'm a 28 yr old Engineer working in the oil industry.
5' 11" With dark hair, dark eyes and a GSOH........
Wait a minute, wrong site......... DOH!! :x
Between then and now I've had the pleasure of watching many many great movies and shows. What was that?
The highlights? Hmmmm!!
Where do you start with a question like that? Well ok I'll give it a shot.
Gundam UC. Cowboy Bebop. Escaflowne. FLCL. Berserk. Akira. Metal Panic. Trigun. Miyazaki ( any ). Initial D. Ghost In The Sheel. Ninja Scroll. Goldenboy. GTO. Jin-Roh. Macross. Outlaw Star. Tenchi OVA's, Vandread, Nadessico..........And many more which at this precise point in time I forget....
I still have a laod of stuff in my collection which I still have to watch. Such as Rahxephon, Noir, Excel Saga, Argento Soma, Memories, El Hazard, Captain Tylor. Also, the most recent orders which I've place were for Paranoia Agent and Zeta Gundam boxed set which I am really looking forward to getting my grubby paws on.
So thats about it really. I joined yesterday and spent most of my time just dodderin about the site checkin the place out, and from what I've seen it seems like a really cool place to hangout. I pretty sure I'll meet some cool people, hopefully make a few friends, talk some bollox about anime and just generally chill the hell out. Which is all good as far as I'm concerned.
Anyways hope to catch you all about sometime in the not too distant futere guyz n galz. Take care and as my mother always used to say, if you can't be good, be careful.
Cheers
Kev :wink:
