Anime UK News Forums
Been watching anime for AGES, I started with Akira and then all the other vids that were on the "Manga" label, then I moved on to a shady mail order list offering coppied vcds - at this early age was when I discovered how much more I enjoyed subs over dubs.
I got online as soon as I could, found nice REAL dvds, in cases and everything!
Also with my slooooow dial-up, I started finding fansubbed eps to download, (even if it took days just to get one half hour ep) not the easiest thing to do in the days before p2p and me being to stupid to know what to do with newsgroups. (I still am btw)
Now I've got a nice fast connection, a big hard drive or three for fansubs, (that regularly need to be dumped onto dvds) a bookcase full of anime dvds and an ever growing obsession.
I am otaku, I am proud. I will shut up now.
