How did you discover anime?
I suppose it was back as a kid seeing something like Akira or Vampire Hunter D on late night TV. Then getting hold of things like Robotech, Macross and Vampire princess Miyu on video (I am quite old you know). Left off for a bit, then at Uni started again to watch a few bits I borrowed mainly Ranma and Urusei Yatsura. Then in the last few years got back into it in a bad way.
How much anime do you actually watch? Ever made the time to read manga too?
I depends on what new stuff I have or what I feel like. If I have a new DVD, or borrowed something new I will normally watch it as soon as I can if I don’t have to do anything else. Have been known to 2 or 3 26 episode series straight on a weekend.

I do read manga and some manhwa have not got that much at the mo but it seems to be increasing at a good rate.
Other than the obvious anime addiction, what else do you enjoy?
Archery.
Music mainly old school goth, alternative and industrial.
I have my home cinema kit which is great for watching all my films and anime.
Comics, comics more comics and Buffy.
Tell us all about yourself?
Well I am Carl and I am old. I live in Pontypridd, I stayed in the area after being a student here. After watching welcome to NHK I have realised I am becoming more of a hikkikomori with each one of my friends that gets married (funny how you see people less when they get a family). I spend way too much of my disposable income on anime and comics of all kinds.
What is it that you love about anime?
They are not your average western cartoon with a cat and a mouse. Anime usually tell a story you can be interested in. They are big budget movies without the big budget.

Old? 34 isn't old! Not even middle aged.

Hey Draconian! I thought I'd leave a comment on your profile for absolutely no reason.

Have a nice evening/morning.
