[QUOTE="Doctorkev, post: 592964, member: 9365"] Hi guys, I‘ve been a lurker around these forums for a year or two but thought I should finally bite the bullet and formally join. It’s thanks to this site that I discovered the Anime Limited and MVM Christmas sales and now my wallet is significantly lighter. Last year’s damage to the finances was bad, this year may be even worse! I’m a good bit older than the average anime fan, as I remember watching anime as a wee kid in the late 1980s and early 90s - stuff on UK cable TV like Robotech and Captain Harlock, plus PAL VHS rentals like Space Firebird and Warriors of the Wind. I remained an anime fan all throughout university and my subsequent professional career, and now I subject my poor kids to anime too! My all-time favourite anime are: Neon Genesis Evangelion, Made in Abyss, Girls Last Tour and Steins;Gate, but I also love too many other shows to count. For the last couple of years I wrote for AniTAY.org, which was a Kinja site affiliated with Kotaku.
