Oh, I've been into anime since the late 1980's. I started getting into it when the only available anime was bootleg subtitled tapes I could rent from Geppi's comics in Maryland. From there I moved on to Carnegie Mellon, where I not only got the opportunity to watch a lot more anime, but also got introduced to the internet. Back then the big thing with anime and the internet was that you could go to an ftp site and download scripts or summaries of shows, so you would have some idea of what you were watching. You could also download gifs.

I remember getting a postcard from this company called AnimEigo, telling me that they were actually going to release an official subtitled anime short called 'Madox 01'. I had no idea what it was about, but it was interesting to get the postcard.

Ah, I'm going all old-geezer, aren't I? I will add on by saying that I created the Carnegie Mellon anime club, called 'Vermillion.'

What I'm watching right now? Trigun. Battle Athletes Victory. Magic User's Club. Lupin III. Card Captor Sakura. Sailor Moon. The KOR boxed set. Fushuugi Yuugi. I try other things from time to time, either by renting from netflix or by picking them up in the store. I'm looking forward to getting a copy of Netflix. My anime collection at home overflows into the hallways.

I may not watch it as obsessively as I used to, but I make up for that by spending more money on it. :)
