Hi all. I used the visit this site a lot in the days when Anipike was still a thing, but slowly drifted over to ANN for my anime news. I've been getting tired of scrolling past endless articles about stage plays and stage play cancellations over there though, so I'm drifting back over here.
I started unknowingly enjoying anime in the 80s, back when they used to remove all the Japanese names from the credits to hide where it was from, and went full otaku after seeing Akira in the early 90s. Probably my peak okatu moment happened during the dry spell of anime releases at the end of the 90s when I saw that a German satellite channel was showing Sailor Moon; so I used to have all 200 episodes recorded on VHS in German, despite not speaking a word of it.
All-time favourites include: Gunbuster, The Vision of Escaflowne, Patlabor, Sound! Euphonium, Ghost in the Shell: SAC, the Urusei Yatsura movies... too many to list, really.
Recent favourites: Wasteful Days of High School Girls, Bloom Into You, Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl, and I'm currently obsessed with Liz and the Blue Bird.
I also enjoy kaiju movies and Ultraman, and used to frequent the Monster Zero forums until they broke earlier this year.
