How many Anime fans are here?

I just thought that I would throw this out. My collection at it's height was worth from 4-5Gs. Of course that was before I got married and had my daughter. That was also before DVDs really became main stream. I am currently watching Naruto(a fan sub). Also I am the only one with Anime for a liscense plate in MI. Ok time to dig deep into my psyche, I really had a thing for Sasami from Tenchi Muyo because I wanted to be her. She was a princess and cute. Also, there is a lot of anime with gender switching. Ranma 1/2 for example. There is also a lot of anime with crossdressing but not as a focal point but part of the plot I, My, Me Strawberry Eggs for example. So my question to you all, do you watch anime and what kind do you like?

I'm not a massive fan but I do love it, I got the animatrix dvd, some of that is awesome. Also good that Toon channel on cable that has a lot of anime

I enjoy much the anima (the animatrix is a good example) but I like the recent academy (nomine or winer) The spirit with in (english title). I also like the Ghost in the Machine and looking forward to the sequal that just came out. I love Ranma 1/2 because of the fact that when cold water is dumped on him he becomes a she. Very cool I think sometimes.

I've noticed (and I'm certain that you have too) that Anime was originally the Japanese way of getting around their anti-porn laws. Their laws forbid exposure that we consider racy R material. So in answer to that they started creating anime as a way around the law. *chuckle* ( I could be wrong about this, but this is what I've been tld by anime fans when I've helped store material for A-Kon, a local annual anime convention.)

Amazingly enough, serious movie quality anime spawned from that and has gained lots of popularity. This is the kind of anime that I prefer. Something with a good story and artistic taste to it.

A good example would be Ghost in the Shell. Personally I can't wait for Ghost in the Shell II to come out here in america.

Going to have to talk a friend into buying it so I can borrow it if I still don't have any disposable income.

After I watch Adult Swim (the comedy stuff), my television time is pretty much shot for the evening, though I sometimes run into the very beginning or very end of some anime series on Cartoon Network.

Yes, I'm a HUGE anime fan.

So much so I've gone to a Sci-Fi convention dressed in a anime mask and outfit.

It was so much fun!

Before Calina came to be, I had a friend that would cosplay. I am not sure if he was a CD'er or just really into anime but I was so envious of him because he would cosplay as female characters and knew how to make his own costumes. Dang, I really want to get a sewing machine and relearn how to use it. I hate being poor.

Hi Calina,

In your picture with your child you look like the richest person I've ever seen.
