Welcome to this small profile. I hope you are doing well.
I have been watching anime since around 2000, although I didn't really know it was anime back then. I think the first ever anime I watched was Dual! Parallel Lun-Lun Monogatari, and I really loved the animation and the mecha.
I joined MAL in 2013 to keep track of my anime, discover new anime/manga, and (I know this is shocking for some) for the community.
I have found some truly thought-provoking, and sometimes shocking, anime and manga thanks to this website. Importantly, I've had the good fortune of having met some truly wonderful souls through this website whose friendship(s) and good company I will always be grateful for. I am very happy to have gotten to know good souls on this internet that is rife with horrible individuals.
I also realize that I have been here quite some time now. The souls here when we first met (Railey, Slashie, Tachii, Ichigo321, Karpman to name a few) were just teenagers/kids; they're all "adults" now. But it still feels like yesterday all those IRC and Skype sessions. A yesterday that is hazy and far away, even in my memory, but yesterday nevertheless.
Time passes by faster as you age or it seems that way to me. So to those of you who are younger and are reading this: enjoy yourselves. To those who are older: also enjoy yourselves. And irrespective of how old you are, be kind. Kind to yourselves and to everything around you. Everything from the smallest plant to the largest animal suffers just as you do.
I was also a News moderator on MAL for a while some time in 2014--2016. It is nice to have been able to give back to this website in this small way.
If you take a look at my list, you'd garner I'm a big fan of mecha and sci-fi of the Evangelion and Blame! variety. So if you have recommendations, I'll always be happy to check them out.
And needless to say, do feel free to say hi.
