~*~*~ I'll potentially update this again at some point, if I get around to it lol, but it hasn't been updated in quite awhile, excluding updating to my current age. ~*~*~


I decided that I would finally add something here after being on the site for a couple of months. I will make this all "fancy" like other people's pages, however, for now this will do.

My name is Chad, I'm 24 years old and I live in Redmond, Washington. I'm an avid gamer, anime watcher and manga reader. I love to hang out with friends whenever possible. The first anime I ever watched was Transformers. After that I, like most other kids, watched a lot of cartoons. I eventually watched some Dragonball and Dragonball Z followed by some Yu-Yu Hakusho, Ronin Warriors and Tenchi Muyo.

I didn't really get into anime until Dragonball Z was being aired on Cartoon Network. I got sick of the constant re-airs and was constantly hearing about all this SSJ4+ nonsense when Goku just hit SSJ that I couldn't take it anymore. I eventually went online and downloaded some fansubbed episodes to finish off the series. After watching the entire series in fansub form in both spanish and japanese (lol) I found out about Dragonball GT and immediately went for that. After I finished off Dragonball GT I started looking into other anime that was similar and/or that I just might have an interest in. I came across all sorts of anime and stumbled upon stuff I saw as a child that I simply forgot the name of.

Even though I started downloading anime, watching it and looking for more I still wasn't all that into it. It was simply just something to watch to pass the time, rather than something to watch to enjoy a good story. Once I hit about 16 or 17 is when I finally really got into it. I started re-watching some older anime that I came across for a new take on it. I watched some of the classics like Akira; which I'm still amazed about to this day. And I developed a passion for the art.

When I learned that anime is more often than not, originally derived from manga I started reading some of the manga for the anime I really enjoyed. It really didn't kick off until I got into Berserk. I had one friend telling me how awesome it was all the time and that I needed to really check it out. After I got some money saved up I simply trusted his opinion and bought the Berserk Art of War DVD Box Set. Once I watched it completely a couple of times I NEEDED to find out what happened after the Eclipse and the only way to do that was by reading the manga. And I have yet to look back ever since (excluding having to think about all this stuff now lol =P).

So when it comes down to it, I have quite a few favorite anime; well more than five. My all time favorite anime, which is heavily influenced by the manga, is Berserk. In all honesty the anime wasn't the greatest anime ever and left a lot to be desired. The way it ended really killed the whole "Epic-ness" that is Berserk. But, I love the manga so much and the story is such an epic tale that I LOVE seeing it in a fully animated form.

My other favorite anime are as follows: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Black Lagoon, Claymore, Bleach, Naruto, Naruto: Shippuuden, Bakuretsu Tenshi, Yu-Yu Hakusho, Ronin Warriors, Hokuto No Ken and Fate/Stay Night.
