The Usual Suspects

Since I've noticed people have a tendency to get off on the wrong foot (except if you have a foot fetish, in which case presumably either is good) and with the suspicion that this sometimes causes new members to leave, I thought I'd make a thread where all current members who've been here a while can say hello, describe our personalities a little and be a bit self depreciating.

::stands up::

I'm ayase, and I'm an anime and manga fan. I like old **** (anime, books, films, music) and like to mention or quote from things which no-one has ever heard of, under the groundless presumption everyone has. If I take the piss out of you, imagine I've elbowed you in the ribs with a grin, not punched you in the face. I'm generally genial if sometimes overly critical especially WRT aesthetics - I'd buy a 'gift-wrapped turd' (to quote Fabio) I wouldn't buy badly packaged diamonds. I can also be a belligerent, bloody minded f*cker if the fancy takes me - This has nothing to do with being provoked and everything to do with my state of mind at the time which is something you're unlikely to alter. I'm a grammar moderate. I don't like the language being mangled but nor do I like people pointing out minor errors. As long as people are trying that's good enough for me. I am socially liberal to the point at which I see no problem with polyamory or uncensored hardcore pornography on daytime TV. No amount of incredulity at my opinions will change them. Reasoned argument however, might.

Right. Now it's your turn...

Additional: Oh and I will say, commenting on others' descriptions is probably not a good idea. Otherwise this could turn from an attempt at fostering understanding to the worst flame war in AUKN history.
 
I'm Spyro.

I'll edit this when I can be bothered to post.

I probably argue quite a bit- but have been quiet lately, cause life is busy.
 
Hi, I'm Tachi.

I'm pretty much a laid back person to talk to, no need for formal greetings or talking like a robot, i prefer to talk to people as a normal mate would....with that said i'm outgoing, constantly seem to be doing one thing or another everyday.....now this tends to lead down one of two "roads" .....If its been a funny/random/adventurous or otherwise different day....then you may find yourself laughing (even at my expense, it don't mind :) ) or if it's been a terrible day i'll try my hardest not to moan or vent....but i can't promise that i won't. likewise there might be parts of my bad day that you can relate to.( i have a blog on my MAL account....so feel free to add me and give em a read through)

I tend to have alot of time on my hands during the day, due to being at work....but come 5pm or the weekends, i'm never about on the forums...tend to pop onto the chat every so often to see if people are upto much, but apart from that, i'm usually busy. The first place your likely to find me on here is the General Convo thread, due to my laid back nature i try to avoid confrontation...that doesn't mean i can't hold my own in a debate (as you may find out)

End summary sort of thing: laid back, friendly so long as your respectful. And always about during the day so drop by and have a chat.
 
I'm Maxon. I hail from Edinburgh and am 23 years old. An anime fan since late 2005 and long time gamer. At the moment I am studying Web Based Systems.

There's a few things you should know about me which I'll go into detail about.

First of all, I have good taste. This isn't up for debate or an opinion. It's a given I have good taste (especially in anime and video games) when you see what I rate highly and the things I hate. Chances are I hate whatever you like, but as long as you're thick skinned and won't cry when I tell you something is bad, we'll be sound as a pound. If I do get on your tits, just remember, I am not insulting you; I am making an observation of the subject in question or pointing out your flaw(s). If you get pissy, it's all on your end. Make sure to note that I am not an elitist because I don't go out of my way to say something is bad just for the sake of it. Next, I think before I type so my posts will be quite heated and I'll end up saying things I usually regret. However, I do not regret giving people a hard time if they don't have a proper grasp of English or just act really stupid.

I am generally friendly in casual conversation which is odd considering how irritated or emotionally invested I get in debates and discussion. I hang around in the Chat lots, so if you want to see the real me, and not the demon that wants to eat you with a spork, go to the Chat.
 
Chaos here.

I play bass guitar and I was teaching myself electric guitar. In general i try to see the positive side of things and I have a tendency to like almost everything.
On the other hand it's really hard for something to actually amaze me.

I'm usually happy to talk about any subject and I'm always up for an offline meeting.

Edit:
I'm sane
Fast approaching the so called middle age.
I have an insane work schedule that sometimes makes me wake up at 5:30 in the morning to g oto work.
 
Hi, I’m Voddas, and I’m an anime and manga fan like probably every other sane member at this forum. I’m pretty laid back and easy to get on with (as you will see). I do suffer from foot in mouth disease so don’t take anything I say to heart if it appears offensive. I never mean anything by it. Luckily it doesn’t happen too often but you’ll know when I do. Heh.

I’m more into anime than I am manga, but thats only because I’ve been watching anime for much much longer. Like the others above who have already posted, I too have a MAL (My Anime List) account, so take a look to see what I like and what I’ve rated. I don’t seem to stick with any particular genre of anime, I’m usually quite erratic.

Anywho, if you fancy saying hello just PM me, otherwise you’ll most likely find me in the “The General Conversation Area” in the Random chit-chat section of the forum talking with some other familiar names.

Ah, and did I mention I hold supernatural abilities? No? Well keep it quite ok? Thanx. ;)
 
I'm Jamie/Jayme. Whatever. Currently 17 years of age and I try to be positive about most things, even when I'm cynical about them. Yeah. I reside in the South East of England in the county I named Hertfordshire.

I'm a fan of anime/manga/tv/films/tech/nerdy things (obviously). I try to post as much as possible and I used to frequent the chat much more than I do now so I suppose I'm relatively anti-social on the Anime UK News. I'm mostly anti-social online anyway, so I suppose I'm not being that different here? For example, I don't have a Facebook since that involves talking to real people (I'm finding this quite therapeutic) and also I dislike my online-ness and my RL-ness mixing. I do have a MyAnimeList account that I occasionally visit (but forget to update quite a lot) a Twitter (which I do update due to iPhone) and other essential things that are quick and stuff.

I also have a technically terrible taste in music, but just ignore that little tidbit.
 
Arbalest here, everyone seems to call me Arby or Arb though. 20 years young and one of the members who've been here for the longest, hah. I'm fairly easy going, and i'd like to think easy to talk to...when i can actually start a conversation. I'm generally in the chat when i'm online as well, much like a few other members can be, so i'm always available to chat with(always does mean always, i don't seem to sleep)

In terms of anime and manga, i'm a fairly big fan. Had my moments where i don't get much motivation to watch anything, as i expect everyone does, but i generally come back to the medium fairly quickly. Manga i never leave though, its easy to pick up and read at any time really. I'll point out as well for safety, i am one of the biggest FMP fans here, so if you see a topic on it, no doubt i will be in there somewhere >.>

Erm...i don't think i have anything more to add, so i shall leave it there.
 
*Fist in the air* You did decide!!!! :)

Yo! Chaz here with my own little description of myself. I think of myself as being more optemistic rather than damning and pesimistic. Pretty easy-going, but dedicated to a job if it needs doing.

In the forums, I hardly make any threads, but I do my best to contribute. I prefer replying to something than rattling my brain to make conversation. I'm not the brightest bulb at best of times, why make it any harder for myself? ;)
I try to get along with everyone as well, as I like a community that supports each other, even if opinions differ on subjects.

In anime/manga fandom - I feel proud if someone came up to me and told me I'm an otaku. Generally, my shelves are full of manga and anime dvds, however, you can still see the floor. That's tidy for one with such a name! (And I have been called an otaku in the past, amazingly...)
My general interests are fighting/action, comedy/romance, harems, ecchi and mecha, with some decent psycho-horrors and such plaguing my collection.

I also like to draw in manga style, but it's anyone's opinion on how good I am (not sweatdrop studios' good though). I also have a small collection of figurines on a shelf or 2.

Finally - offline persona. I'm actually quite shy in face-to-face contact. "Quiet" and "always polite" are 2 such descriptions of me, even though I dont mind talking and listening to conversations. Occassionally, I do go out and drink at the pub or clubs with friends, but I've yet to meet other fans at conventions and such (life's goal!)


Hope that's a good enough intro to myself. Hope it's a good read and it's so thourough that you'd like to stay.

WELCOME TO THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
