For Anime Fans Ages 18+

Please remember to follow this simple rule! It's sad that I have to keep posting this when it's in the rules in the profile.

Your birth year MUST be in your userinfo/profile - at least until you're approved. This community is for anime/manga fans 18 years of age or older.

Just a reminder since people don't seem to read the profile for the community that if you want to join the community you must have your birth year in your profile to confirm you're over 18.

See rule #3 in the profile of this community.

I've been a fan of anime since I was a kid, I remember getting up early in the mornings to watch Star Blazers. When I was in my teens we were in Hawaii (my dad was Army) in the mid to late 80's and Robotech came out, I fell in love with anime all over again.

So when I joined the Air Force I was excited to get stationed in Misawa, Japan (up north by Amori), and of course Japan being the home of anime! LOL I had a membership at the local Japanese rental store (believe it or not they had several Japanese movies and anime with English subtitles). It was then I discovered... :drum roll: Dragon Ball Z.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I enjoyed DBZ a lot, it was my soap opera! I even cried when Gokou died during the Cell Saga.

Since then I've enjoyed several animes! Naruto, Bleach, D.Gray-Man, Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, Inuyasha, Vampire Knight, Ghost Hunt, Haruka Naru Toki Naka de Hachiyoushou, Kiba, Mai-Otome Zwei, Shounen Onmyouji, Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou, Tsubasa Chronicle, Witch Blade, Macross Zero, Macross Frontier, Nabari no Ou, Persona, man I could go on and on and on and on... and I enjoy several of the manga's too!

I created my first website in 1996 when I came back from Japan to move to Hawaii (again) it was dedicated to DBZ, I had a hand scanner back the to scan in all the DBZ goodies I had gotten while in Japan.

Ok, enough rambling! I'm not a fangirl in my personal journal but I do make references to my fanfiction from time to time. I’m looking for friends to be open minded and not a snob about anime/manga/fanfiction (open minded to hentai, yaoi, yuri, mary sue, etcs). Two other friends and I are part of a multi-fanfiction group project that finished book 1 and book 2 of our story and are currently working on book 3.

Well to clarify about last paragraph, I’m not just looking for anime/manga friends but friends over all. I’m usually on google talk all the time (with AIM too). So if you’re the type that likes to IM feel free to add me. And since I’m at such an ‘advanced’ age (I am turning 39 in November) compared to the rest of the community I have kids too. My oldest daughter (who’s a senior in high school 18½) was born in Japan and she loves anime/manga just as much as me. My youngest daughter who just turned 15 isn’t so much into it. So when my oldest graduates and moves out I won’t have anybody to gush over anime/manga with me. Not come home and have somebody go, “did you read the latest Naurto or Bleach?” T_T

So will you be my friend? Maybe I’ll even update my journal more often (though I do read my friends list everyday).

My journal: Is friends locked and I filter my posts. I keep my journal kind of like how you would interact with people in real life; you only tell a few souls everything and let everyone else hear the edited version of things. I keep my rambling about anime and such open for all my f!list to see.

I try to keep positive and not whine so much . . . not that it is an actual problem; just like to keep things happy and stress free. I also don't cause drama; I'm shy and introverted so it's hard for me to be a bitch.

Type of friend looking for: I'm looking for active lj users that watch anime regularly. I make a lot of posts about anime and what I'm watching but don't get much response . . . I'm hoping to find a few new friends on here to change that. Oh and I usually don't care about age, but I'm really looking for more friends around my own age. (but don't let that stop you)

Interests: writing, singing, music, kpop and jpop (mostly k though), cats, cooking and baking, Batman with his Robins (comic and animation), Teen Wolf, Supernatural, White Collar, Psych, books, slash and yaoi, and did I say music or Batman?, there is a lot more too but I'm here about the anime . . .

Manga: Blue Exorcist, flat, Card Captor Sakura, Fairy Tail,  Hourou Musuko, Lovely Complex, and tons plus tons of yaoi/shounen ai

Favorite -

I'd like to hear from the members of the community on improving or just plain suggestions for the community.

Whats in my journal: You will find RL stuff and memes. My journal is pretty much a way for me to sort my thoughts out through writing, so some of my entries tend to be pretty in-depth some of the time, but there are times that I will just talk about what I have been doing lately.

Games: I don't always have much time to play, but games that I like are Golden Sun, Guitar Hero, Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, God of War, Dark Cloud, Neverwinter Nights, and others that I can't think of right now.

Music: I like all kinda of music. Lately I've gotten really into Hanson, but some of my other favorites are Lady Gaga, Olivia, Orange Range, Malice Mizer, Asian Kung-fu Generation, Fallout Boy, Thousand Foot Krutch, and Muse.

Other Stuff: I don't watch that much T.V. but lately I've been watching more. I like House, Lost, Charmed, CSI, How I Met Your Mother, and others.

Friends?
