Greetings,
My name is Michael and I'm 19.8 years old. I'm currently a sophomore Computer Science/Mathematics major/minor at
Longwood University in Farmville, VA.
My hobbies are coding/programming, learning new programming languages, and watching Anime.
I'm relatively new to the Anime scene. I didn't start watching Anime, in particular fansubbed, regularly until about 1.5 years ago. Sadly, it was fansubbed Naruto that acted as my "Gateway Anime". Of course I did watch irregularly on TV dubbed Anime as a child, as well as go through a hardcore Pokemon phase ~7 years ago. However, I've been coined as a "Monster" on one forum for having consumed a vast amount of Anime in only 1.5 years.
I'm the Founder/President of my University's
Anime Club, which became an official organization this Fall.
a) I decided to register on the L-E forums is mainly due to the fact that I started frequenting #Live-eviL@irc.enterthegame.com about 3 weeks ago, and discovered that the members of L-E are a diverse group of dedicated fansubbers who are easy to talk to and are overall great people. Another reason is because I recently left a forum/community that I had been at for more than 3 years, and so I'm currently looking for a new place to call home.
b) It's actually extremely hard for me the list my favorite Anime series because there are so many, so I'll just list random ones that I've listed on my Facebook profile:
Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora, Voices of a Distant Star, Saiunkoku Monogatari, Golden Boy, Ginban Kaleidoscope, REC, Lamune, I``S Pure, Death Note, Starship Operators, Zero no Tsukaima, Kaleido Star, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, School Rumble, Fate/Stay Night, Shakugan no Shana, Shingetsutan Tsukihime, Scrapped Princess, Love Hina
c) I like a broad range of genres. However, in particular I enjoy Romance (can't be too blatantly shoujo) and Romantic Comedies. Thus, I'm always looking for good Romance and Romantic Comedy Animes.
d) I'm always looking to procrastinate, so on average I'd probably visit/post daily.
