    *looks left, looks right*

    Hi, I'm KiltFuPanda, and I'm an anime fan... what, this isn't Anime Anonymous? Oh, in that case...

    I'm what you call an "old school" fan. I'm from the era of if you wanted anime, you had to know a guy who had a couple VCRs and could copy a VHS for you. I used to be the sergeant-at-arms/bouncer at the local college anime club, and volunteered at a few cons in the past. Nowadays, I tend to watch sporadically due to a very rambunctious toddler (who loves Ponyo and Totoro, btw!), but I still have a considerable collection in the "man cave". Ranma, Dragon Half, Akira, KO Beast Century, the entire Ghibli collection... lots of shelf space being taken up.

    I still read some manga online and watch for new series that may interest me, but I'm finding more fun now introducing my little boy to the anime world (he's even had two cosplays already) My wife is a big anime fan as well, which makes for a very fun household!

    Satoshi Kon's works are amazing ^^. I've watched Perfect Blue, Paprika, Paranoia Agent, Millennium Actress, Patlabor and Memories. I haven't watched Tokyo Godfathers yet, but I wanted to wait until winter to watch it, hehe~ x3

    Yeppp. The first I watched Paprika I literally pulled out a notebook and wrote down everything I thought I saw happen.. then proceeded to watch it again XD. Also, the parade song was stuck in my head for like a month.

    Tokyo Godfathers wont let you down btw -- its so good!

    Finished Sword Art Online and Sukitte Ii Na Ya. Watching Code Breaker, Ixion Saga DT, Magi, Psycho Pass, and Robitics Notes. Pyscho Pass is my favorite of the Fall season.

    I finished "Sword Art Online" as well! In my opinion, the first season was perfect the way it was... the second season felt like a drag, but overall it was a decent anime. :3

    Hello everybody! My name is Emily, and it's nice to find an anime group on here! My favorites are Honey and Clover, Eden of the East, Clannad (of course), Myself; Yourself, and Trinity Blood. I am currently watch Bokura ga Ita, but I don't find myself enjoying it too much.

    Hi Emily!

    Well, I glanced at the winter lineup and there isn't anything that grabs my interest. This fall season was kind of dull with the exception of Magi and Psycho Pass and was hoping the winter series would be better...

    So I love anime. In college I was the VP of our anime club for a year, I have gone to Anime Weekend Atlanta for the past 5 years, and have been watching anime since I was a little girl obsessed with DBZ and Sailor Moon. Also my favorite anime is Death Note.

    Hi, avid anime lover. Bleach use to be my favorite anime up until the fight with the Quincy started & Ichigo found out 1 more thing he is. I'm so done with the manga and show now. Didn't want to put too many spoilers in case someone wanted to read it. It should have ended with Aizen. I read and watch a lot of manga and anime. (my former username for everything was nycanimechick:))Toshi
  • Hello all! I was looking for a group to join and saw this. Perfect for me! I barely watch normal TV but I watch anime everyday. I will be thrilled to meet all of you. ^_^

    I've from the TN area and my favorite anime/related things right now are Hetalia, Homestuck, Black Butler, Madoka Magica, older stuff I like is YYH and DBZ. I'm currently aiming to cosplay Rosette from Chrono Crusade in a few months.

    Hi there, I joined this website about a week ago and decided last night to start looking through the groups. I am 33 years old, and from the Seattle area of Washington. My very first anime was probably one of the worst ones to start with due to its "what the hell just happened?" factor - Neon Genesis Evangelion.

    Some of the titles I've watched include: Ah! My Goddess, Baka & Test, Dance in the Vampire Bund, Darker than Black, Demon King Daimao, Elfen Lied, Love Hina, Strawberry Panic, Princess Princess, Fruits Basket, Azumanga Daioh, Pani Pony Dash, Fullmetal Alchemist, Vampire Hunter D, Kaze No Stigma, Ouran High School Host Club, Rosario + Vampire, Soul Eater, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, xxxHolic, Spice and Wolf, Angelic Layer, The Sacred Blacksmith, Girls Bravo, The Last Airbender, Black Butler, Death Note, Chobits, Shuffle!, Sekirei, School Rumble, Negima!? Magister Negi Magi, Moeyo Ken, El Cazador de la Bruja, Mahoraba: Heartful Days, Fairy Tail, Nichijou, Ranma 1/2.

    If there's any series I just "gotta see!" based on the kind you see on this list feel free to give me a poke. I'm always up for watching more!

    Hello all!!! zomg.....anime friends!!! someone add me and talk at me about anime all day lol!

    Anyhow, I'm Aimee, aka Aya. I'm a stay at home mom who is starting school in the fall, majoring in psychology. (If there were a PhD in anime, I would so get that....). My fave anime ever is Ayashi No Ceres, has a special place in my heart. But I love several others, including The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya just for the sheer absurdity factor. I have a VERY long list of favorite animes, there are so many though that I don't even know where to start!! I like the typical stuff like Bleach, FMA, Death Note, Soul Eater, etc. But I also love others like Kurau Phantom Memory, Shuffle, Another, Higurashi, Vampire Knight, Gantz, Rosario + Vampire, Black Butler, Deadman Wonderland, Ghost Hunt, Kaze No Stigma, Tokyo Majin, Xamd: Lost Memories, etc etc etc.

    I am NOT typically a fan of samurai or mecha (with the exception of Aquarion and one or two others). I am also not a fan of too much ecchi or fanservice unless it makes sense in the context of the anime (though I do like Freezing.....well, the series, NOT the ridiculous OVAs). I also read ALOT of manga, I love horror manga the most, my fave mangaka being Junji Itou. I LOVE talking to other anime freaks and geeks and would LOVE some weight loss friends to talk anime shop with while we work towards being fanservice material, lol.

    Hello all! I'm stoked to see an anime group.

    Robotech and Akira first got me interested in anime. These days I love anything by Satoshi Kon (RIP :cry: ). Also a fan of Last Exile, Gurren Lagann, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, etc.

    I'm looking forward to more suggestions! ;)
  • Hello. My name is Jacob and I am new to myfitnesspal. I'm glad to see a group for anime fans. One Piece is my favorite anime. I design and sell t-shirts at anime conventions. How do you all do?

    Hey all! Not new to MFP, but new to this group. I have been watching anime since I was a kid and Sailor Moon was definitely in the mix of firsts. As for favorites, I would have to go with SAO and Mirai Nikki. Least favorite, that is tougher, I really do find something I enjoy about all of the ones I have seen. If I had to pick one it would be Casshern Sins. When not watching anime I play WOW, and do a lot of stuff outside with my kids athletics (big lacrosse family, hence my user name).

    Hi everyone! I'm so happy to see a group of anime fans on here, its so welcoming!

    My name is Jenifer, I'm 26 and, like so many others here, my first was Sailor Moon. I wanted to be Sailor Jupiter so bad as a kid! Then, because they were in the same programming block, I saw Ronin Warriors/Yoroiden Samurai Troopers. I wanted to be Makoto and have Seiji as my boyfriend, it would be perfect. Oh, the dreams of a pre-teen!

    I still would like to have Makoto's athletic physique and ability to kick serious A, so I need to get in shape first. I have cosplayed before, but never felt comfortable because I was never in the best shape for the role. Just before the release of Evangelion 2.2, I really wanted to cosplay as Mari in her pink plugsuit, so I lost about 15 lbs, but when I moved from my hometown of Baltimore, MD to live with my boyfriend in Chicago, IL, I couldn't afford a gym membership for over a year, so my healthy habits slipped away. It has been 4 years since, and now that our apartment has a gym, there are no excuses! I'm currently about 140 lbs and want to get down to 120 or less, Im more concerned about the way it looks than the number.

    As far as favorite anime, Gunslinger Girl is probably number 1. Evangelion, Azumanga Daioh, and basically anything done by Type Moon (Fate series, Tsukihime, Kara no Kyoukai) all round out my favorites. Right now, we've been watching Attack on Titan and Stella C3-bu.

    Nice to meet everyone, I look forward to talking to you!
