Well the morning is just officially over and I'm using my break to toss in a quick hello and to blurt out some stuff about myself before posting what I initially came here for.

I hate puting my real name so let's keep it at Will. I'm 38 years and normally I would 'say' something like that would make me the resident dinosaur around here, but reading a couple of other intro I'm surprised to see that are several other 30-ish people here. Yay to us. Oh, and I'm from the Netherlands, I'm married and have 2 kids and yes, my wife thinks me a nutcase with my anime obsession.

How I found this site? Well, there is a series I need to watch still (Shigofumi) , but I'm waiting for FTP to release the OAV that followed after the series and I figured I registered so I could ask about that. Also I need to register to thank FTP-Anime for Wagaya no Oinari-sama (a series I have to start on as well). As how I found this site literally: I followed a link to here from Toshokan.

As one can surmise from the previous passage I (try to) watch way to many series. Probably due to the fact I started rather late with this (about 8 years ago I think) and I'm a child in a mans body I still find anime/manga refreshing and it's a great way to escape the real world if even for a short while.

I have a very stubborn trait in me in which when I have chosen the follow a series from a particular group I will stick with that particular group no matter how long it takes. I also go for the groups that take pride in their 'work' and whom I think deliver a good job and detest speedsubs with their usual questionable quality (to put it mildly).

As for hobbies. Watching as much anime as I can and I hope one day to catch up to my mountain of unwatched stuff so I also can start on manga. I also play some FPS and RTS on my PC and watch a little TV (usually NCIS, CSI and other related series). For anime/mana I tend to go for love/comedy ones allthough good action and sometimes mecha is appreciated as well. I haven't read much manga, but I actually own Ai Yori Aoshi so I guess that's my favorite manga.

For anime I have a whole bunch of series that I found great, a selection in random order: Oh! My Goddess, Vandread (both series, not the OAV), Mushishi, Death Note, Itazura no Kiss, Last Exile, Scrapped Princess and Sensei no Moribito.

I probably won't be posting much and I do most of my stuff through torrent, but on ocassion can be found on Rizon (same nick as this) so feel free to talk to me if you're so inclined.

Welcome #1 we'll try not to treat you like #2.

38, wow old enough to remember 80's rock. Back when MTV played music videos.

Well I was thinking of moving to your country, but since the election went my way. I may just have to visit.

What kind of food do y'all have there? I'm looking for a good fish dish.
