How did you discover anime?
When I was in my 3rd year of uni, a house mate called Paul brought me a copy of Trigun to watch in the first night we got through 13 episodes and after that I was hooked, we then went on to watch Cowboy Bebop, Rurouni Kenshin and Outlaw Star. As for manga I started reading that much later with books like Trigun and Those Who Hunt Elves.
How much anime do you actually watch? Ever made the time to read manga too?
I watch anime almost every day, at work I watch hours of it (12 hour shift all anime viewing time). I have a huge collection of dvd's and add to it every day thanks to importing it from the US and ebay.

I started reading manga years ago and am currently collecting loads of different series, my favourites being Air Gear, Genshiken and Battle Club.
Other than the obvious anime addiction, what else do you enjoy?
I love to race Sports Bikes, I am currently kitting out a Kawazaki ZX9R Ninja for both road and track use, nothing better than screaming along at 100+, well there is 150+ now.

I also love to play video games, I have a kick ass PC for the new next gen games, and a PS2 for games like GTA and Final Fantasy.
Tell us all about yourself?
I'm 26, I work in a job that lets me watch anime and read manga all day. I am engaged to my girlfriend Rose and we live together in Swindon.

Apart from Anime I also love racing Sports Bikes and hanging out with mates. Used to go to the cinema lots but as its now £8 a ticket I'd rather wait for them to come out on dvd.
What is it that you love about anime?
The escapism, I love that it can make me laugh out loud, shrink back in disbelief and make me cry when the onscreen emotions blow me away. Its one of the most moving mediums I have ever experienced and because of that I can't put it down even for a second.

Yo McIcy!

I've become smitten by the Genshiken manga - it's pure class!

Just why does Kousaka smile all the time is what I want to know!
