Re: Introduction Thread
Hello!
I am Aiko and I have been an anime and manga fan for about nine years. The first anime I had ever watched was Pokémon when I was about eight, but I wouldn't find out that it was from Japan until about a year later when someone got interested in Evangelion and introduced it to me in Japanese. Being the daughter of someone who has been reading and collecting comics for years and has never failed to stop at the comic shop every week, I thought it was real nifty when I found out that most anime was based on manga since I was around comics quite a lot, and now that manga has gotten much cheaper than it used to be (and thus, easier to collect). I don't even really watch that much anime anymore unless it's based off of a series I am reading and I much prefer live-action drama and musical adaptations. I'm loving the variety in stories and demographics in manga and finding new titles even if they won't ever be animated, much less licensed is a blast. I'm a real shōnen sort of gal, and most of my all-time favorites hail from Jump Comics, such as The Prince of Tennis, Rurōni Kenshin, Gintama, and Mr. Fullswing, though I'm not afraid to try other things like Axis Powers Hetalia.
Outside of anime and manga, I am a Computer Science major and a soon-to-be Music Performance Minor, as well as a foreign language student. I study German in the classroom and French and Japanese as an independent student, though I have come to favor Kansai-ben over Tōkyo-ben as of late because I love the character and the history of the Kansai region!
Like your nick, can't help thinking your a Morning Musume fan or something?
