How did you discover anime?
Originally saw Ghost in the Shell and Akira, though that didn't initially spark my interest. Only became a real fan after seeing the US launch of Gundam Wing whilst on holiday, I've been a Gundam fan boy ever since and hooked on anime.
How much anime do you actually watch? Ever made the time to read manga too?
I've only read a small portion of manga (mostly the FMP stuff and hand a browse over Deathnote).

Anime wise though I tend to try and watch some every week and frequently with my house mate go over old series again and again whilst waiting for new releases.
Other than the obvious anime addiction, what else do you enjoy?
I'm a massive gamer, have been since the Amiga/Amstrad days, remember getting properley addicted when I received my first x386 and then even more suckered in once my dad brought home a 486 DX 66 with a CD-ROM drive (he worked for IBM so we had lots of fun toys as kids), then the consoles started showing up as well, I've pretty much owned them all (though I still have a nasty bitter streak towards Sony, even having worked for them lol).

Other than gaming I do airsoft (BB gun's in woods or urban sites) at weekends, I've recently started fencing (foil at the moment, progressing to epee and saber), used to do climbing but have given up though want to get back into it.
Tell us all about yourself?
Maybe another time
What is it that you love about anime?
The style, the presentation, the story, the sheer epicness of it all, mostly the complete difference to western story telling, anime never seem's afraid to push boundaries or kill of a main character or two if the story demands it.
