Re: Introduction Thread

Hello all:

I am OniSpike. I am 16 and I live in New York. I am a cascusian male, six foot eight and I am on my school basketball team.

My favorite animes are Cowboy Bebop, Gundam, Bleach, One Piece, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, Cromartie High and Gantz. There are a lot of others but, the list might be a bit too long. My favorite mangas are the animes, I listed above. I like both the animes/mangas.

I am a bit behind in Bleach because I spent some time finishing up; Monster, Slam Dunk and working on Berserk. I do watch the Naruto dub, while watching subs and reading the manga. I think the dub team did a decent job and I was suprised how good it did, at least its better than the One Piece dub. My favorite characters in Naruto are Naruto, Kakashi, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Kisame, Itachi, Gai, Rock Lee and a lot of others.

My like a lot of video games, I have a big taste in different genres of games. I am currently playing the new Devil may Cry 3 expansion and enjoying it. I just finished God of War, Call of Duty 2, Budokai: Tenchakai, Half-Life 2 and Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament.

I am exicited to be part of the forums here on NarutoFan. I hope to befriend some users, lose my social life, gain some respect and enjoy a long long stay here.

Re: Introduction Thread

welcome to the forums OniSpike! The part with losing your social life is funny. I'm sure you're not really serious are you? O.o"

Nah, he is just being humourous (I think )
You know, spending so much time here affects all aspects of our lives, but if each one of us doesn't matter then it's ok in my opinion

 

[Tanuki-dono]

Re: Introduction Thread

Gold Knight suggested that I introduce myself here, and after letting the idea stew for a few days, I finally broke down and decided to do it. So, hello all. 

Tanuki-dono is my username, as you can see, but if it bothers you to type out such a thing, then Erin will suffice.  I am a [relatively] new fan to the series featured here.  I've always been an anime and manga fan, since I was a grade schooler. (I can remember when I had to travel far just to find manga or anime in a store in the early 90s, and now it's everywhere...)  Now I am a 18-year-old college student, and I'm still finding new series to like.  I've dabbled in most fandoms and genres.

I avoided Bleach and Naruto for a good while, and I don't know why.  I few years back, all of my friends started converting to Naruto, and I think I harbored some strange bitter complex about it. As for Bleach, I simply didn't get involved. I got busy with life and didn't have the time, or so I thought.  I was coaxed into watching Bleach last fall by a friend and promptly blew through all of the fansubs at an alarming rate.  My interest in episodes, however, has waned since the filler arc began.  I'm mostly caught up with the manga.  The last one I read was where Rukia was injured. Need to get in gear and read the rest, I suppose.  As for Naruto, I'm even newer to that.  I've known of it for a very long time, but I resisted the movement. (One of my close friends was raving about it when news of it being turned into an anime hit Japan.)  Many years later, I noticed that they were running a dub on Cartoon Network. "Must have gotten popular," I thought.  Even though I'm not fond of dubs, I wound up sitting in for an episode alongside my little sister - the episode featuring Haku's childhood.  This was New Year's, by the way, just to give you an idea of how new I truly am. And despite the dub, I was like a fish with a bloodied hook through his cheek.

The next thing I knew, I had bought a cheap fansub of the earlier episodes from eBay and I had downloaded the rest.  Then I watched all of them and fell hopelessly in love.  Then, I stumbled upon NarutoFan.com and the manga, and here I am today, via a link from the one of the members of that site.  I fell in love with the characters from Naruto pretty quickly.  And that love-obsession still persists.  I adore the pseudo-family-comrade relationships the most.  And I'm an avid fan of Konoha's Yellow Flash.

You'll probably see me in Naruto Discussion the most, since I can't really offer much other than thanks in the Translation and Scanslation department.  Unless a cloud opens up to let the rays of brightness in and I suddenly learn Japanese, anyway...

Quickstats:
Name: Tanuki-dono (Erin)
Age: 18 (soon to be 19 in March)
Gender: Female
Eyes: Very light blue
Hair: Dark blonde
Height: 5'4"
Home: United States
Favorites in Naruto: I can honestly say that I find each and every character interesting (even Orochimaru). My absolute favorite is Naruto. He's an adorable kid, and I'm always fond of trouble kids.  Team 7 and Team Yellow Flash hold a special place in my heart.  Other than that, all of the mentor/parental figures to Naruto are adored (Iruka, Sarutobi, Kakashi, Jiraiya, Tsunade)...

That's all. This got rather long.  But I'm from the South, so I do have the tendency to stretch out conversations.  I should come with a warning label.

Re: Introduction Thread

Every seriously involved member has posted an introduction. As I'd like and intend to be one as well....

Originaly I signed in as unreachable_predator just to get RAWs, but found out this site had more sense than NF (no offense). So I started reading the forums, posting rarely. Now that I've gotten common with this place, I think I'm about to move in permanentely. And just to know - this sites admins are the best I've seen.

Oh, Yeah......More about me.
I'm 20 and for now I'm a student of management sciences in University of Latvia. I've finished whole 13 years of French lycee and have fair knowledge of IT among people I know. I like social sciences in a practical meaning. Learning theories is not the best way to apply knowledge.
I find it difficult to grasp the system of measuring things in inches and so on, that's why I can't write my height. It's 1,81 metres in EU. My hair is brown and eyes ... well mix of blue and gray. Everything else is as normal 2 eyes, tongue, 20 fingers and so on.
Two special traits are tallent of learning by myself, and unusual senses (just to know).
I like culture of Far East as it has less complexes (as in phobias). As I see people having narrow point of view it makes me wish I was born there.
Lastly, my hobies are running, Hi-tech, martial arts and modern crossbowing.

Once more - It's nice to be here and you are really great company to talk with.

Re: Introduction Thread

Welcome, Predator_U.

Are you a Latvian? It's a pleasure to meet you. I am so thrilled when Latvia managed to qualify for Euro 2004 and even score a point. That's quite an achievement for a small country in Europe.

As for the cm and the inches, 1 inch is 2.5 cm. 1 feet is 30 cm. So, 181 cm will be around 6 feet tall. :knk You are so tall compare to me.

Anyway, welcome. If you need anything or has any questions in your heart that you have to ask, feel free to PM any of the mods. We will try our best to help you.
