xD i used the expression "down with the kids" as an expression in a light-hearted sense that could apply to anything popular, i did not meain to insinuate that most anime/manga fans are children xD. Believe me i'd be the first person to defend anime/manga asaginst someone calling it childish and am myself friends with many senior fans/manga artists.
In terms of series i'm into [That's why i'm here] my faves list would read :
Hellsing, Ouran High Host Club, Evangelion, Love Hina, Library War, Trigun, Azumanga Dioh, Gurren Logann.
I'm here to boraden that range, and find series that arn't necessarily mainstream and polished. Find stuff that really inspires and capture my imagination.
My main interests outside of Anime/Manga would be Music [All kinds of Rock Sub-Genre's] and History [Military History]. I can get pretty eccentric about my interests, so i'm told xD
Thanks very much for the Warm Welcome ;], if first impressions are anyhting to go by then this is a pretty friendly forum.
