I heard about MYAnimeList on other anime/manga forums I am a member of, and I recently saw a link in a member's post on one of those forums, so I followed it. I wasn't going to join up, but I thought about it, and I realized that it would be very nice to have a database that I could check from time to time to remind myself just what I have watched, and what I had never gotten around to finishing, and what I would like to watch, as like a lot of people, I lose track of series sometimes, because let's face it- there is SO much one could watch if we only had time ^_^

Most of the anime series in my dropped list are ones that I saw on TV, or watched on a friend's DVD. I have Anime Network (which recently changed though to the Funimation Network( basically) on my cable Provider. Which is not bad, but before the entire series would be free,( some still are) but now they tease you with the first episode and you have to pay for the rest- again, not bad, but I am rather broke at the moment, and I do prefer my anime subbed for the most part- there are exceptions though. I must admit that some of the series on the dropped list are some I tried and just did not find to my liking.

So when I started this list, I realised it is a labor of love, as there is really no way I can recall ALL of the anime I have watched, and some (Like DBZ and Pokemon) are such large series, there is no way you can recall it all if you watched it on tv like I did so long ago. (and some of course I dislike now but still I watched it so I am trying to include it all Remeber Hamtaro or Ultimate Muscle?).

A surprising thing occurred while I was looking up anime . I needed to jar my memory, and I found out several series I watched when I was very young were anime, and I didn't even realise it then. Series such as Maya the Bee - I never knew it was anime. Maybe shows like those started me off on this anime journey, and if so, I owe them a large debt of gratitude because to me, anime is not just images on a screen, it is a artform and one that can convey many emotions and cause me to feel all those varying emotions as well. Anime has it all : Drama, comedy, romance, horror, fantasy-you name it and anime can supply it.

I will continue this journey of mine, and I am glad to be able to look at this list and see just where I have gone and know where I wish to head in the future.

Thanks for this site. ^_^
