I'll just share a little background on how I got hooked into anime...

I was watching Shenrei's setsuka wavedash tutorial, the music that was playing in the video appealed to me so much, I found in the comments it was from an anime called "Chobits" OST: Let me be with you by Round Table and Nino, now I only followed that anime because of that intro song alone...

However the plot did get interesting, as well as the occasional wild and mild fanservice, after finishing the series I searched for 'related' anime. That's how I discovered the term 'ecchi' and all sorts...Kiss x sis, ladies x butlers, Queens blade, Omamori Himari, Nyankoi, Yosuga No Sora, Hyakka Ryoran Samura Girls, too many to name, all from different years of airing, they were the ones I enjoyed during their time of release

So I rinsed most of all the ecchi, fanservice 12/24/ova episode seasons/series, I couldn't stop myself. I took a back seat and decided to watch an ongoing series, which happened to be Fairytail, it had only aired around 8 or so episodes, so I could follow it up every week, it has such a lovely collection of soundtracks, OP and EDs that I've converted to listening to J-POP anime tunes over a period of time.

As for older anime's, especially ones that were dubbed, Haruhi suzumiya, Sailor moon, Negima, Love Hina Gurren lagann, Tenjo Tenge, ikki toussed, Card Captor Sakura, man...I appreciate them, I have yet to finish them but it makes me question myself as to why I didn't discover them sooner and follow them religiously either by youtube or stream whilst my school days were young and free...

Anime is also partly the reason I buy lots of manga volumes from my store, if the series is well known, has been adapted in an anime I know of or is rare, or just appeals to me one way or another, I'll buy it.

There's so much I want to watch, yet there is more stuff I need to put first. Then there's the spring season anime to come....

I can't speak for other people, but Haibane Renmei is one of my top 10 favorite anime :)


So...you think Fairy Tail is amazing despite having most of the things you supposedly hate about modern anime and manga in it?

Lol not to mention Fairy Tail is just One Piece light. They're so similar Toei tried to sue once, but Oda was like WTF? It's my property and i says let it go.

Either way Fairy Tail is awesome indeed.


Haibane Renmei is straight up amazing. I remember when i went on my anime buying streak, and when i had a job, and it was literally the first series in my rightstuf bin, as well as like 20 others.

Hilariously enough Mai-Hime was one of the others. I love Mai-Hime, i like it better than Mai-Otome, but i still like the universes and style behind em both. Good shit to Sunrise as always making anime awesome.

@AZYG4LYFE i understand the need to watch everything lol, my other forum name is iwatch2muchanime and it's not just a name but a way of life.....
